Liouville Function - Series

Series

The Dirichlet series for the Liouville function gives the Riemann zeta function as

The Lambert series for the Liouville function is

\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\lambda(n)q^n}{1-q^n} = \sum_{n=1}^\infty q^{n^2} = \frac{1}{2}\left(\vartheta_3(q)-1\right),

where is the Jacobi theta function.

Famous quotes containing the word series:

    “There is in every either-or a certain naivete which may well befit the evaluator, but ill- becomes the thinker, for whom opposites dissolve in series of transitions.”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    “Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.”
    —Anita Brookner (b. 1928)

    “Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
    —Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
