Abstract

We prove inequalities related to \varphi(n)^{\varphi(n)}.\psi(n)^{\psi(n)} or \varphi(n)^{\psi(n)}.\psi(n)^{\varphi(n)} and related powers, where \varphi and \psi denote the Euler, resp. Dedekind arithmetic functions. More general theorem for the arithmetical functions f, g and h is formulated and proved.
