ABSTRACT. 

Let $\Delta(x, n)=\varphi(x, n)-x\varphi(n)/n$, where $\varphi(x, n)$ is the Legendre totient function and $\varphi(n)$ is the Euler totient function. An inequality for $\Delta(x, n)$ is known. In this paper we give a unitary analogue of this inequality, and more generally we give this inequality in the setting of regular convolutions.


Key words:
Legendre totient function, Inequality, Regular convolution, Unitary convolution.
