Abstract
Let $x$ be a real number satisfying $x \geq 2$. For any positive integer $n$, we define $s(n)$ as the smallest non-negative integer such that $n + s(n)$ is a perfect square. In this paper, we derive an asymptotic formula for the sum \begin{equation*} \sum_{n \leq x} D(n + s(n)), \end{equation*} where \begin{equation*} D(n) = \frac{τ(n)}{2^{ω(n)}}. \end{equation*} Here, $τ(n)$ denotes the number of positive divisors of $n$, and $ω(n)$ stands for the number of distinct prime factors of $n$.
