Abstract [en]

An arithmetic function 𝑓 is Leibniz-additive if there is a completely multiplicative function β„Žπ‘“ such that 𝑓(π‘šπ‘›) = 𝑓(π‘š)β„Žπ‘“ (𝑛) + 𝑓(𝑛)β„Žπ‘“ (π‘š) for all positive integers π‘š and 𝑛. A motivation for the present study is the fact that Leibnizadditive functions are generalizations of the arithmetic derivative 𝐷; namely, 𝐷 is Leibnizadditive with β„Žπ·(𝑛) = 𝑛. We study the basic properties of Leibniz-additive functions and, among other things, show that a Leibniz-additive function 𝑓 is totally determined by the values of 𝑓 and β„Žπ‘“ at primes. We also find connections of Leibniz-additive functions to the usual product, composition and Dirichlet convolution of arithmetic functions. The arithmetic partial derivative is also considered.
