The Davison convolution of arithmetical functions f and g is defined by where K is a complex-valued function on the set of all ordered pairs (n, d) such that n is a positive integer and d is a positive divisor of n. In this paper we shall consider the arithmetical equations f(r) = g, f(r) = fg, f o g = h in f and the congruence (f o g)(n) = 0 (mod n), where f(r) is the iterate of f with respect to the Davison convolution.
