In number theory , an additive function is an arithmetic function f ( n ) of the positive integer variable n such that whenever a and b are coprime , the function applied to the product ab is the sum of the values of the function applied to a and b : f ( a b ) = f ( a ) + f ( b ) . {\displaystyle f(ab)=f(a)+f(b).}

Totally additive is also used in this sense by analogy with totally multiplicative functions. If f is a completely additive function then f (1) = 0. Every completely additive function is additive, but not vice versa. Examples of arithmetic functions which are completely additive are: Examples of arithmetic functions which are additive but not completely additive are: From any additive function f ( n ) {\displaystyle f(n)} it

The Liouville function is a non-trivial example of a completely multiplicative function as are Dirichlet characters , the Jacobi symbol and the Legendre symbol . A completely multiplicative function is completely determined by its values at the prime numbers, a consequence of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic . Thus, if n

While the Dirichlet convolution of two multiplicative functions is multiplicative, the Dirichlet convolution of two completely multiplicative functions need not be completely multiplicative. Arithmetic functions which can be written as the Dirichlet convolution of two completely multiplicative functions are said to be quadratics or specially multiplicative multiplicative functions. They are rational arithmetic functions of order (2, 0) and obey

216-401: Is also important, respecting only products of coprime numbers, and such functions are called multiplicative functions . Outside of number theory, the term "multiplicative function" is often taken to be synonymous with "completely multiplicative function" as defined in this article. A completely multiplicative function (or totally multiplicative function) is an arithmetic function (that is,

360-573: Is the Möbius function . Completely multiplicative functions also satisfy a distributive law. If f is completely multiplicative then f ⋅ ( g ∗ h ) = ( f ⋅ g ) ∗ ( f ⋅ h ) {\displaystyle f\cdot (g*h)=(f\cdot g)*(f\cdot h)} where * represents the Dirichlet product and ⋅ {\displaystyle \cdot } represents pointwise multiplication . One consequence of this

384-468: The Busche-Ramanujan identity. There are a variety of statements about a function which are equivalent to it being completely multiplicative. For example, if a function f is multiplicative then it is completely multiplicative if and only if its Dirichlet inverse is μ ⋅ f {\displaystyle \mu \cdot f} where μ {\displaystyle \mu }

408-878: The following way: f ( 1 ) = f ( 1 ⋅ 1 ) ⟺ f ( 1 ) = f ( 1 ) f ( 1 ) ⟺ f ( 1 ) = f ( 1 ) 2 ⟺ f ( 1 ) 2 − f ( 1 ) = 0 ⟺ f ( 1 ) ( f ( 1 ) − 1 ) = 0 ⟺ f ( 1 ) = 0 ∨ f ( 1 ) = 1. {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}f(1)=f(1\cdot 1)&\iff f(1)=f(1)f(1)\\&\iff f(1)=f(1)^{2}\\&\iff f(1)^{2}-f(1)=0\\&\iff f(1)\left(f(1)-1\right)=0\\&\iff f(1)=0\lor f(1)=1.\end{aligned}}} The definition above can be rephrased using

A weaker condition

576-476: The requirement that f (1) = 1, one could still have f (1) = 0, but then f ( a ) = 0 for all positive integers a , so this is not a very strong restriction. If one did not fix f ( 1 ) = 1 {\displaystyle f(1)=1} , one can see that both 0 {\displaystyle 0} and 1 {\displaystyle 1} are possibilities for the value of f ( 1 ) {\displaystyle f(1)} in
