Liouville function


The Liouville functionDlmfMathworldPlanetmath is defined by λ(1)=1 and λ(n)=(-1)k1+k2++kr, if the prime factorizationMathworldPlanetmath of n>1 is n=p1k1p2k2prkr (where each pi is positive). This functionMathworldPlanetmath is completely multiplicative and the

d|nλ(d)={1if n=m2 for some integer m0otherwise,
