Let Φk(n)=|\ (x1, x2, ⋯, xk)∈ (ℤ/nℤ)k; gcd(x12+x22+ ⋯+ xk2, n)=1\| be a general totient function introduced first by Caldéron et. al. Motivated by the classical works of Schoenberg, Erdős, Bateman and Diamond on the distribution of Φ1(n), we prove results on the joint distribution of Φk(n) for any k≥ 1. Additionally, we also exhibit the extremal order of Φk(n).
