Let \(f\) be an additive function having a limiting distribution as described by the Erdős-Wintner theorem. The authors show that it also has a limiting distribution on integers having a given number of prime divisors, that is, an asymptotic is given for \(\# \{n\leq x: \Omega (n)=k, f(n)<y\} \), where \(k=k(x)\) satisfies \(k(x)\sim \log \log x\). A similar result is given for \(q\)-additive functions, where the number of prime factors is replaced by the vector counting the digits \(0, 1, \dots , q-1\). These results can be interpreted as an initiative to study the joint distribution of arithmetic functions, one with and one without renormalization.
