Euler's Totient Function - Generating Functions

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).

    Empirical science is apt to cloud the sight, and, by the very knowledge of functions and processes, to bereave the student of the manly contemplation of the whole.
