 Multiplicative function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Outside number theory, the term multiplicative is usually used for functions with the property f(ab) = f(a) f(b) for all arguments a and b; this requires either f(1) = 1, or f(a) = 0 for all a except a = 1.

 The Prime Glossary: multiplicative function   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
A function f(n) defined on the positive integers is multiplicative if f(nm)=f(n)f(m) whenever n and m are relatively prime.
If f(n) is multiplicative and we factor n into distinct primes as n=p
Finally, if f(n) is multiplicative, then so is the function F(n) = sum of f(i) (where the sum is taken over the divisors i of n).

 additive function : QuicklyFind Info   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
In number theory, an additive function is an arithmetic function f(n) of the positive integer n such that whenever a and b are coprime we have:
Outside number theory, the term additive is usually used for all functions with the property f(ab) = f(a) + f(b) for all arguments a and b.
An example of an arithmetic function which is additive but not completely additive is ω(n), defined as the total number of different prime factors of n.

 Analytic Number Theory by Harold Diamond
This modest requirement imposes significant structure on an arithmetic function, and many interesting functions are either multiplicative or are `nearly so.' We are going to examine several aspects of multiplicative functions, including the following.
Multiplicative functions will be characterized in terms of convolutions and exponentials of arithmetic functions.
The summatory function associated with a multiplicative function is often of greater interest than the function itself.

 About Smarandache-Multiplicative Functions
The name of S-multiplicative is a short of Smarandache-multiplicative and reflects the main equation of the Smarandache function.
Certainly, many properties of multiplicative functions[2] can be translated for S-multiplicative functions.
The main important property of this function is presented in the following.

 CSCI 220 Fall 2001 Exam 2 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Why is table size M = 2^p (p a prime) a bad idea when your hash function is key % M? Why is it a good idea when the hash function is a multiplicative function?
A hash table of size 2^p when doing mods will cause only the last p bits of the key to be used for the hash function, which makes it more likely that keys will collide (since they're more likely to look the same using only p bits versus all of the bits).
On the other hand, the multiplicative method munches around the whole number and 2^p as a table size can be used to speed things up.

This problem (in the strong form f(n) = n) was #2 on the morning session of the 1963 Putnam exam.
Although you say "increasing," you define this as what I would call "strictly increasing." A theorem of Erdos [Ann Math 47 (1946) 1-20] states, more generally, that if f is an increasing multiplicative function, then f(n) = n^k, for some real number k.
