Multiplicative functions which are additive on triangular numbers

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Fix kge3. If a multiplicative function f satisfies [ f(x_1+x_2+dots+x_k) = f(x_1) + f(x_2) + dots + f(x_k) ] for arbitrary positive triangular numbers x1,x2,dots,xk, then f is the identity function. This extends Chung and Phong's work for k=2.
