Conjecture on the asymptotic error term for floor function sums over powers

From papers

Let r2r\geq 2 be an integer. Let ff be given by the paper's definition in, with hh satisfying h(d)dα|h(d)|\ll d^\alpha for some α[0,12r1]\alpha\in[0,\frac{1}{2r-1}], and let CfC_f be the constant defined in. The asymptotic error-term conjecture. One should have

Sf(x)=Cfx+O(x1+α2r).S_f(x)=C_f x+O\left(x^{\frac{1+\alpha}{2r}}\right).

This would be a simpler and stronger estimate than the preceding theorem in the indicated range of α\alpha, improving the available error term for these floor-function sums over powers.
