A characterization of some q-multiplicative functions
A graph is called weakly perfect if its chromatic number equals its clique number. In this note a new class of weakly perfect graphs is presented and an explicit formula for the chromatic number of such graphs is given.
Consider the linear congruence equation for , . Let denote the generalized gcd of and which is the largest with dividing and simultaneously. Let be all positive divisors of . For each , define . K. Bibak et al. (2016) gave a formula using Ramanujan sums for the number of solutions of the above congruence equation with some gcd restrictions on . We generalize their result with generalized gcd restrictions on and prove that for the above linear congruence, the number of solutions...
Menon’s identity is a classical identity involving gcd sums and the Euler totient function . A natural generalization of is the Klee’s function . We derive a Menon-type identity using Klee’s function and a generalization of the gcd function. This identity generalizes an identity given by Y. Li and D. Kim (2017).
A specially multiplicative arithmetic function is the Dirichlet convolution of two completely multiplicative arithmetic functions. The aim of this paper is to prove explicitly that two mathematical objects, namely -Fibonacci sequences and specially multiplicative prime-independent arithmetic functions, are equivalent in the sense that each can be reconstructed from the other. Replacing one with another, the exploration space of both mathematical objects expands significantly.
