Abstract:
We apply the multiplicative arithmetic functions strategy to sequences
defined by linear two-term recurrences. We associate Fibonacci
numbers with Dirichlet convolution and Lucas numbers with unitary
convolution. Some Fibonacci-Lucas sums are shown as applications by using
the Kesava Menon quasi-distributive law (a distributive-like property of
Dirichlet convolution over unitary convolution) and the Fibonacci-Lucas
quotients under the Dirichlet and the unitary convolutions.
