COMMENTS
For any completely multiplicative function f(n) with -1 <= f(n) <= 1, the sum f(1) + f(2) + ... + f(x) is at most (c + o(1))x, where c is this constant. Further, this bound is sharp in that for any c0 > c there are infinitely many f and arbitrarily large x giving a sum less than c0*x. - Charles R Greathouse IV, May 26 2015
Named after the British mathematician Andrew James Granville (b. 1962) and the Indian-American mathematician Kannan Soundararajan (b. 1973). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 23 2021
