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).

Famous quotes containing the word functions:

    Mark the babe
    Not long accustomed to this breathing world;
    One that hath barely learned to shape a smile,
    Though yet irrational of soul, to grasp
    With tiny finger—to let fall a tear;
    And, as the heavy cloud of sleep dissolves,
    To stretch his limbs, bemocking, as might seem,
    The outward functions of intelligent man.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
