Menon's identity is a classical identity involving gcd sums and the Euler totient function φ. In a recent paper, Zhao and Cao derived the Menon-type identity n k=1, where χ is a Dirichlet character mod n with conductor d. We derive an identity similar to this replacing gcd with a generalization it.We also show that some of the arguments used in the derivation of Zhao-Cao identity can be improved if one uses the method we employ here.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
