Definition:Completely Multiplicative Function

Definition
Let $K$ be a field.

Let $f: K \to K$ be a function on $K$.

Then $f$ is described as completely multiplicative :


 * $\forall m, n \in K: f \left({m n}\right) = f \left({m}\right) f \left({n}\right)$

That is, a completely multiplicative function is one where the value of a product of two numbers equals the product of the value of each one individually.

 * It can easily be proved by induction that $\forall k \in \N: \left({f \left({n}\right)}\right)^k = f \left({n^k}\right)$ $f$ is completely multiplicative.


 * Completely Multiplicative Function is Multiplicative, but not necessarily the other way about.
