Definition
The Riemann ξ function is given by
where ζ is the Riemann zeta function. Consider the sequence
Li's criterion is then the statement that
- the Riemann hypothesis is completely equivalent to the statement that for every positive integer n.
The numbers may also be expressed in terms of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function:
![\lambda_n=\sum_{\rho} \left[1-
\left(1-\frac{1}{\rho}\right)^n\right]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/5/3/c/53c989545cbb61055031c11698511747.png)
where the sum extends over ρ, the non-trivial zeros of the zeta function. This conditionally convergent sum should be understood in the sense that is usually used in number theory, namely, that

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“Mothers often are too easily intimidated by their children’s negative reactions...When the child cries or is unhappy, the mother reads this as meaning that she is a failure. This is why it is so important for a mother to know...that the process of growing up involves by definition things that her child is not going to like. Her job is not to create a bed of roses, but to help him learn how to pick his way through the thorns.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this—”devoted and obedient.” This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.”
—Florence Nightingale (1820–1910)
“One definition of man is “an intelligence served by organs.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
