I like this function a lot, proposition is not THAT interesting but whatevs

Lets define the Möbius function as:
mob.gif

Proposition:

mun.gif is multiplicative and summu.gif

Proof:

Let gcd(m,n)=1

If asdm.gif or a2dnta2dmn.gif
Then mumn.gif

If mp1pr.gif , nq1qs.gif, then
mumnm1.gif

If n or m = 1 proof is clear.

Now, let fsummu.gif, since mun.gif is multiplicative then F(n) is multiplicative.

It is clear that f1.gif

Also:

largef.gif.

( Möbius function is 0 on palpha2.gif )

Now, if we use prime factorization on n, if n>1:

fnfpr.gif we can do this because F(n) is multiplicative.
