\(q\)-quasiadditive functions



Abstract: In this paper, we introduce the notion of q-quasiadditivity of arithmetic functions, as well as the related concept of q-quasimultiplicativity, which generalises strong q-additivity and -multiplicativity, respectively. We show that there are many natural examples for these concepts, which are characterised by functional equations of the form f(qk+ra+b)=f(a)+f(b) or f(qk+ra+b)=f(a)f(b) for all b<qk and a fixed parameter r. In addition to some elementary properties of q-quasiadditive and q-quasimultiplicative functions, we prove characterisations of q-quasiadditivity and q-quasimultiplicativity for the special class of q-regular functions. The final main result provides a general central limit theorem that includes both classical and new examples as corollaries.
