Arithmetic functions commutable with sums of squares

Abstract: In this note, we characterize all functions

f : m a t h b b N i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b C

such that

f (x_{1}^{2} + c d o t s + x_{k}^{2}) = f (x_{1})^{2} + c d o t s + f (x_{k})^{2}

, where

k g e q 3

and

x_{1}, c d o t s, x_{k}

are positive integers.
