Abstract: Let $n=pro{d}_p{p}^{u_p(n)}$ denote the canonical factorization of $ninN$. The binomial convolution of arithmetical functions $f$ and $g$ is defined as $$ where $$ is the binomial coefficient. We provide properties of the binomial convolution. We study the $C$-algebra $(calA,+,circ,C)$, characterizations of completely multiplicative functions, Selberg multiplicative functions, exponential Dirichlet series, exponential generating functions and a generalized binomial convolution leading to various M"obius-type inversion formulas. Throughout the paper we compare our results with those of the Dirichlet convolution *. Our main result is that $(calA,+,circ,C)$ is isomorphic to $(calA,+,\ast ,C)$. We also obtain a "multiplicative" version of the multinomial theorem.
