Generating Functions
The Dirichlet series for φ(n) may be written in terms of the Riemann zeta function as:
The Lambert series generating function is
which converges for |q| < 1.
Both of these are proved by elementary series manipulations and the formulae for φ(n).

Famous quotes containing the word functions:
“Nobody is so constituted as to be able to live everywhere and anywhere; and he who has great duties to perform, which lay claim to all his strength, has, in this respect, a very limited choice. The influence of climate upon the bodily functions ... extends so far, that a blunder in the choice of locality and climate is able not only to alienate a man from his actual duty, but also to withhold it from him altogether, so that he never even comes face to face with it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
