Abstract

Let Φk(n)={(x1,x2,,xk)(Z/nZ)k; gcd(x12+x22++xk2,n)=1}\Phi_k(n)=|\{ (x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_k)\in \left(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}\right)^k; \ \gcd(x_1^2+x_2^2+ \cdots+ x_k^2, n)=1\}| be a general totient function introduced first by Cald\'{e}ron et. al. Motivated by the classical works of Schoenberg, Erd\H{o}s, Bateman and Diamond on the distribution of Φ1(n)\Phi_1(n), we prove results on the joint distribution of Φk(n)\Phi_k(n) for any k1k\ge 1. Additionally, we also exhibit the extremal order of Φk(n)\Phi_k(n).
