Abstract: Let $mathttPRIMES$ be the set of all primes. We show that a multiplicative function which satisfies [ f(p+q-2) = f(p) + f(q) - f(2) ext{ for }p,q in mathtt{PRIMES} ] is one of the following: �egin{enumerate} item $f$ is the identity function item $f$ is the constant function with $f(n)=1$ item $f(n)=0$ for $nge2$ unless $n$ is odd and squareful. end{enumerate} As a consequence, a multiplicative function which satisfies [ f(a+b) = f(a) + f(b) ext{ for }a,b in mathtt{PRIMES}-1 ] is the identity function.
