formula for the convolution inverse of a completely multiplicative function
Corollary 1.
If is a completely multiplicative function, then its convolution inverse is , where denotes the Möbius function.
Proof.
Recall the Möbius inversion formula , where denotes the convolution identity function. Thus, . Since pointwise multiplication of a completely multiplicative function distributes over convolution, . Note that, for all natural numbers , and . Thus, . It follows that is the convolution inverse of . ∎
