Abstract

We prove that the set P (H, resp.) of all positive pentagonal (hexagonal, resp.) numbers is an additive uniqueness set for the collection of multiplicative functions; if a multiplicative function f satisfies the equation f(a+b)=f(a)+f(b)for all a, b∈ P (H, resp.), then f is the identity function.
