Abstract
Let f be an additive number-theoretical function and q≥1. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for f to satisfy
. By means of this characterization we show that f is
if and only if the above condition is satisfied and f has a mean value; in this case the Ramanujan expansion of f converges pointwise to f.
