Abstract
We generalize the Cannonball Problem by introducing integer-valued and non-increasing arithmetic functions . We associate these functions with certain polygons, which we call cannonball polygons. Through this correspondence, we show that for any , there exists a cannonball polygon with multiplicity 8 and largest side of length . Moreover, for any multiplicity greater than 8, we provide an asymptotic formula for the number of distinct classes of cannonball polygons with multiplicity .
