Completely additive (c-additive in short) functions and completely multiplicative (c-multiplicative in short) functions are ordinarily defined for positive integers but sometimes on larger domains. We survey this matter by extending these functions first to nonzero integers and thereafter to nonzero rationals. Then we can similarly extend Leibniz-additive (L-additive in short) functions. (A function is L-additive if it is a product of a c-additive and a c-multiplicative function.) We study some properties of these functions. The role of an L-additive function as a generalized arithmetic derivative is our special interest.
