Abstract

If a multiplicative function ff is commutable with a quadratic form x2+xy+y2x^2+xy+y^2, i.e., f(x2+xy+y2)=f(x)2+f(x)f(y)+f(y)2, f(x^2+xy+y^2) = f(x)^2 + f(x)\,f(y) + f(y)^2, then ff is the identity function. In other hand, if ff is commutable with a quadratic form x2xy+y2x^2-xy+y^2, then ff is one of three kinds of functions: the identity function, the constant function, and an indicator function for NpN\mathbb{N}\setminus p\mathbb{N} with a prime pp.
