Abstract
We study the irrational factor function I(n) introduced by Atanassov and defined by I(n) = ∏ν=1k pν 1/αν, where n = ∏ν=1k p ν1/αν is the prime factorization of n. We show that the sequence {G(n)/n} n≧1, where G(n) = ∏ ν=1n I(ν)1/n , is convergent; this answers a question of Panaitopol. We also establish asymptotic formulas for averages of the function I(n).
