Some characterizations of specially multiplicative functions

A multiplicative function f is said to be specially multiplicative if there is a completely multiplicative function fA such that f(m)f(n)=∑d|(m,n)f(mn/d2)fA(d) for all m and n. For example, the divisor functions and Ramanujan's τ-function are specially multiplicative functions. Some characteriz...

description A multiplicative function f is said to be specially multiplicative if there is a completely multiplicative function fA such that f(m)f(n)=∑d|(m,n)f(mn/d2)fA(d) for all m and n. For example, the divisor functions and Ramanujan's τ-function are specially multiplicative functions. Some characterizations of specially multiplicative functions are given in the literature. In this paper, we provide some further characterizations of specially multiplicative functions.
