846 ffl Φ ν 44Ω It is a classical problem to study behaviors of the function a k. In 97, Landau [0] first proved that a k = αx + O ( x +ε) d+ for any arbitrary algebraic number field of degree d, where α is the residue of ζ(s, E) at its simple pole s =. Later, Huxley and Watt [6] and Müller [] improved the results for the quadratic and cubic fields, respectively. For any arbitrary algebraic number field of degree d 3, Nowak [3] obtained the best result O ( x d + 8 0 ) d(5d+) (log x) 5d+ for 3 d 6, a n = αx + O ( x d + ) 3 d (log x) d for d 7. Chandrasekharan and Narasimhan [] first studied the mean square value of a k.in[],they showed that if E is a Galois extension of Q of degree d, then a k cx logd x for a suitable constant c = c(e). In the same paper, they also considered the non-normal extension field, and obtained the upper bound for the mean square of a k, a k x log d x, x. () In 008, Fomenko [] considered a non-normal cubic extension E 3 /Q. Based on the fact that the strong Artin conjecture holds true for the Galois group, he refined the result (), and established the asymptotic formula: a k = b x log x + b x + O ( x 9 +ε) (3) for the field K 3,whereb,b are constants. Recently, the exponent 9 in the error term for the asymptotic formula (3) was improved to 3 3 by Lü[]. he aim of this paper is to study the continuous mean square of the error term in the asymptotic formula (3), and we prove the following result. heorem. Let E 3 /Q be a non-normal cubic extension field, and define R(x) := a k (b x log x + b x). (4) hen we have for any given ε>0. R (x)dx ε X 65 7 +ε
