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:

    “Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “In the order of literature, as in others, there is no act that is not the coronation of an infinite series of causes and the source of an infinite series of effects.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    “Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
