COMMENTS

Ufnarovski and Ahlander briefly mention this idea, but they do not pursue it because the derivative of Gaussian integers is not an extension of the arithmetic derivative of integers. Recall that every nonzero Gaussian integer has a unique factorization into the product of a unit (1, -1, i, -i) and powers of positive Gaussian primes (i.e., Gaussian primes a+bi with a>0 and b>=0). The derivative of all positive Gaussian primes is 1. The derivative of 0 or a unit is 0. The derivative of a product follows the Leibniz rule (uv)' = uv' + vu'. Note that (-u)' = -(u') and (iu)' = i(u'). This definition of a derivative can be extended to fractions u/v, where u and v are Gaussian integers. Indeed, the Mathematica code shown here works with such fractions.

FORMULA
|
If n = u Product p_i^e_i, where the p_i are positive Gaussian primes and u is a unit, then a(n) = n * Sum (e_i/p_i).
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
For n=5, the factorization into positive Gaussian integers is -i (1+2i) (2+i). Using the formula, the derivative is 5 (1/(1+2i) + 1/(2+i)) = 3-3i. Hence a(5) = 3.
