A study of a curious arithmetic function

Number Theory 2010-04-15 v1

Abstract

In this note, we study the arithmetic function f:Z+Q+f : \mathbb{Z}_+^* \to \mathbb{Q}_+^* defined by f(2k)=1kf(2^k \ell) = \ell^{1 - k} (k,N\forall k, \ell \in \mathbb{N}, \ell odd). We show several important properties about that function and then we use them to obtain some curious results involving the 2-adic valuation.
