Dirichlet Series
The von Mangoldt function plays an important role in the theory of Dirichlet series, and in particular, the Riemann zeta function. In particular, one has
for . The logarithmic derivative is then
These are special cases of a more general relation on Dirichlet series. If one has
for a completely multiplicative function, and the series converges for, then
converges for .

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)
