Abstract

Florian Luca asked whether the sequence consisting of the arith- metic (resp. geometric) mean values of the Euler ϕ function is uniformly dis- tributed modulo 1. We show that it is the case for the arithmetic means, and thatit the case for the geometric means if and only if the number e−1 (1 − 1/p)1/p p is irrational. More general arithmetic functions are also considered.


Keywords

Euler function, distribution modulo 1, multiplicative functions.
