Abstract

We obtain estimates for the average value of the largest prime factor P(n) in short intervals [x,x+y] and of h(P(n)+1), where h is a complex-valued additive function or multiplicative function satisfying certain conditions. Letting s q ( n ) stand for the sum of the digits of n in base q ≥ 2, we show that if α is an irrational number, then the sequence ( α s q ( P ( n ) ) ) n is uniformly distributed modulo 1.
