Definition

For each k, Jordan's totient function J_k is multiplicative and may be evaluated as :J_k(n)=n^k \prod_\left(1-\frac\right) \,, where p ranges through the prime divisors of n.


Properties

* \sum_ J_k(d) = n^k. \, :which may be written in the language of Dirichlet convolutions as :: J_k(n) \star 1 = n^k\, :and via Möbius inversion as ::J_k(n) = \mu(n) \star n^k. :Since the Dirichlet generating function of \mu is 1/\zeta(s) and the Dirichlet generating function of n^k is \zeta(s-k), the series for J_k becomes ::\sum_\frac = \frac. * An average order of J_k(n) is ::\frac. * The
Dedekind psi function In number theory, the Dedekind psi function is the multiplicative function on the positive integers defined by : \psi(n) = n \prod_\left(1+\frac\right), where the product is taken over all primes p dividing n. (By convention, \psi(1), which is ...
is ::\psi(n) = \frac, :and by inspection of the definition (recognizing that each factor in the product over the primes is a cyclotomic polynomial of p_), the arithmetic functions defined by \frac or \frac can also be shown to be integer-valued multiplicative functions. * \sum_\delta^sJ_r(\delta)J_s\left(\frac\right) = J_(n).
