Abstract

Let G be a finite group and let ψ(G) denote the sum of element orders of G. It is well-known that the maximum value of ψ on the set of groups of order n, where n is a positive integer, will occur at the cyclic group Cn. For nilpotent groups, we prove a natural generalization of this result, obtained by replacing the element orders of G with the element orders relative to a certain subgroup H of G.
