Abstract

The purpose of this article is to describe some questions which have arisen from discussions in the working group of Wolfgang Schwarz in the early 1970s. We concentrate on problems concerning arithmetical functions and deal with investigations of almost-even, limit-periodic, and almost-periodic functions. We give a survey of relevant results by Schwarz and Schwarz–Spilker, respectively, and add corresponding contributions of the author.
