Additive Function may refer to:

• Additive Function (Conventional Definition): $f \left({x + y}\right) = f \left({x}\right) + f \left({y}\right)$

• Additive Function (Number Theory): If $x \perp y$ then $f \left({x y}\right) = f \left({x}\right) + f \left({y}\right)$
  • In this context, also see Completely Additive Function.

In measure theory, the concept has a completely different meaning:

• Additive Function (Measure Theory): $A \cap B = \varnothing \implies f \left({A \cup B}\right) = f \left({A}\right) + f \left({B}\right)$
  • In this context, also see Sigma-Additive Function.
