Moment of a function


Define the mth moment of a function f(n) as

F_{(m)}(n)=\displaystyle\sum\limits_{k=1}^n k^mf(k)

Now the same procedure also relates the moments of the three functions, since

f(n)*g(n)=h(n)\implies n^mf(n)*n^mg(n)=n^mh(n)

For example, since we know that \varphi(n)*1=n, we can use this to calculate the Summatory Totient moments.

Choosing f(n)=\varphi(n) and g(n)=1, we have n^k\varphi(n)*n^k=n^{k+1}. The corresponding summation functions are

F_k(n)=\displaystyle\sum\limits_{m=1}^n m^k\varphi(m), G(n)=S_k(n) and H(n)=S_{k+1}(n). The corresponding results are

F_k(n)=S_{k+1}(n)-\displaystyle\sum\limits_{m=2}^n m^k F_k\left(\left\lfloor\frac{n}{m}\right\rfloor\right)

F_k(n)=S_{k+1}(n)-\displaystyle\sum\limits_{m=1}^{n/(u+1)}m^k\varphi(m)S_k\left(\left\lfloor\frac{n}{m}\right\rfloor\right)-\sum_{m=2}^u m^kF_k\left(\left\lfloor\frac{n}{m}\right\rfloor\right)+S_k(u)F_k\left(\left\lfloor\frac{n}{u+1}\right\rfloor\right)
