For a given polynomial
f = f(x) of positive degree with integer coefficients and for given positive integers u,
v, and t, the arithmetical function ψf,tu,v(n) is defined and some of its arithmetical
properties are obtained in addition to its average order. ψx,1k,1(n) reduces to the
function ψ(k)(n) studied recently by D. Suryanarayana and ψf,t1,k(n) to ψf,t(k)(n)
studied more recently by the author.
