Abstract
An arithmetical function f is said to be weakly multiplicative if f is not identically zero and f(np) = f(n)f(p) for all positive integers n and primes p with (n, p) = 1. Every multiplicative function is a weakly multiplicative function but the converse is not true. In this note we study basic properties of weakly multiplicative functions with respect to the Dirichlet convolution.
