A topological approach to divisibility of arithmetical functions and GCD matrices

Considering lower closed sets as closed sets on a preposet (P, ≤), we obtain an Alexandroff topology on P. Then order preserving functions are continuous functions. In this article we investigate order preserving properties (and thus continuity properties) of integer-valued arithmetical functions under the usual divisibility relation of integers and power GCD matrices under the divisibility relation of integer matrices.
