Review text

Let \(\mathcal{C}, \mathcal{S}, \mathcal{O}, \mathcal{T}\) and \(\mathcal{L}\), respectively, denote the class of completely multiplicative functions, the class of strongly multiplicative functions, the class of over-multiplicative functions, the class of totients, and the class of level totients. In the paper under review, the author proves that\N\[\N\mathcal{S}=\mathcal{L},\quad \mathcal{O}=\mathcal{T},\quad \mathcal{L}\subsetneq\mathcal{C}\mathcal{L}\subsetneq\mathcal{T},\quad \mathcal{L}^\bullet\subsetneq (\mathcal{C}\mathcal{L})^\bullet=\mathcal{T}^\bullet,\N\]\Nwhere for a class \(\mathcal{A}\) of arithmetical functions, \(\mathcal{A}^\bullet\) denote the class of those arithmetical functions \(f\in \mathcal{A}\) for which \(f(n)\neq 0\) for all \(n\), and the symbol \(\mathcal{C}\mathcal{L}\) refers to the class of usual products of completely multiplicative functions and level totients.
