Additive uniqueness sets of arithmetic functions

From MaRDI portal





The author shows that the only multiplicative arithmetic function \(f(n)\) which is not identically zero on primes and satisfies the functional equation \(f(p)+f(q)=f(p+q)\) for all primes \(p\) and \(q\) is the identity function \(f(n)=n\). The key ingredient in the proof is the well-known result that almost every even integer is a sum of two primes.
