Average auxiliary-count conjecture

Let pp range over primes, let CaANY,hANY(p)C_{a\,\mathsf{ANY},h\,\mathsf{ANY}}(p) be the auxiliary solution count used in the paper, let Li(x)\operatorname{Li}(x) be the logarithmic integral, and let C>0C>0 be arbitrary.

Average auxiliary-count conjecture.

pxCaANY,hANY(p)p1=2.644Li(x)+OC(xlnCx).\sum_{p\le x}\frac{C_{a\,\mathsf{ANY},h\,\mathsf{ANY}}(p)}{p-1}=2.644\cdots\operatorname{Li}(x)+O_C\left(\frac{x}{\ln^C x}\right).

The numerical constant is motivated by the observed average of an auxiliary arithmetic function. The supplied text gives no proof or resolution of this conjecture.
