Menon-type identities again: A note on a paper by Li, Kim and Qiao

Authors: Pentti Haukkanen and László Tóth

Abstract:

We give common generalizations of the Menon-type identities by Sivaramakrishnan (1969) and Li, Kim, Qiao (2019). Our general identities involve arithmetic functions of several variables, and also contain, as special cases, identities for gcd-sum type functions. We point out a new Menon-type identity concerning the lcm function. We present a simple character-free approach for the proof.

Keywords: Menon's identity, gcd-sum function, arithmetic function of several variables, multiplicative function, lcm function, polynomial with integer coefficients
