Namely, a natural number $n$ can be factorized as $$ n = p_1^{\\alpha_1}\\ldots p_k^{\\alpha_k},$$ where $p_i$ are distinct prime numbers. Since $\\alpha_i$ are naturals, they can be factorized in such a manner as well. This process may be continued, building the \"factorization tree\" until all the top numbers are $1$. Let $H(n)$ be the height of the tree corresponding to the number $n$, and let the symbol $\\uparrow\\uparrow$ denote tetration. In this paper, we derive the asymptotic formulas for the sums $$\\mathcal{M}(x) = \\sum_{p\\leqslant x} H(p-1),\\ \\ \\mathcal{H}(x) = \\sum_{n\\leqslant x}2\\uparrow\\uparrow H(n),$$ and $$\\mathcal{L}(x) = \\sum_{n\\leqslant x}\\dfrac{2\\uparrow\\uparrow H(n)}{2\\uparrow\\uparrow H(n+1)},$$ where the summation in the first sum is taken over primes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-10-12T09:52:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "natural number", "tree structure", "distinct prime numbers", "tree graph", "factorization tree" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
