Mean value theorems for a class of density-like arithmetic functions

Abstract: This paper provides a mean value theorem for arithmetic functions

f

defined by

f(n)=prod_{d|n}g(d),

where

g

is an arithmetic function taking values in

(0, 1]

and satisfying some generic conditions. As an application of our main result, we prove that the density

m u_{q} (n)

(resp.

h o_{q} (n)

) of normal (resp. primitive) elements in the finite field extension

m a t h b b F_{q^{n}}

of

m a t h b b F_{q}

are arithmetic functions of (non zero) mean values.
