How to find the $\zeta$ representation of a $L$-series
Consider the following problem:
Show that for $s>1$:
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\mu(n)}{n^s}=\frac{1}{\zeta(s)}.$$
($\mu$ denotes the Mobius function)
My approach:
One may first note that the ...

How does Wolfram Alpha know this closed form?
I was messing around in Wolfram Alpha when I stumbled on this closed form expression for the Hurwitz Zeta function:
$$
\zeta(3, 11/4) = 1/2 (56 \zeta(3) - 47360/9261 - 2 \pi^3).
$$
How does WA know ...

2 concise tables of “usual” series (mostly trigonometrics) and of "usual" L-series (Zeta, Eta, Beta...)
CONTEXT
Common series are usually described as infinite sums, written as consecutive terms ending with (…). Or they can be described using the $\sum_{}$ symbol and arguments usually including $(-1)^k$ ...

Dirichlet series and Laplace transform
Let $\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty \dfrac{a_n}{n^s}$ be a Dirichlet series. It can be represented as a Riemann-Stieltjes integral as follows:
$$\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty \dfrac{a_n}{n^s}=\int_1^\...

Perron's formula in the region of conditional convergence
I am a bit confused about the proof of Perron's formula. It states that for a Dirichlet series $f(s) = \sum_{n\geq 1} a_n n^{-s}$ and real numbers $c > 0$, $c > \sigma_c$, $x > 0$ we have
$$\...

Power series for $\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n/n!^s$ (around $s=0$)
I'm looking for ways to compute the coefficients of the power series
$$
\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^n}{n!^s}=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}c_k s^k
$$
(a prior version of the question asked whether such an ...

A question about Lemma 15.1 (Landau’s theorem for integrals) in Montgomery-Vaughan’s book
Lemma 15.1 in Montgomery-Vaughan’s analytic number theory book is Landau’s theorem for integrals. My question is, why is it necessary to have $A(x)$ bounded on every interval $[1,X]$? Doesn’t the ...

Proof of Theorem 1.1 of Analytic Number Theory by Iwaniec & Kowalski
I am not clear about the proof of Theorem 1.1 in the book `Analytic Number Theory' by the authors Iwaniec & Kowalski.
They say that if a multiplicative function $f$ satisfies $$\sum_{n\le x}\...

Proof of $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n n^{-s} = s\int_1^\infty A(x) x^{-s-1}\, dx$ and $\limsup_{x\to\infty} \frac{\log|A(x)|}{\log x} = \sigma_c$
Theorem. Let $A(x) := \sum_{n\le x} a_n$. If $\sigma_c < 0$, then $A(x)$ is a bounded function, and $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n n^{-s} = s\int_1^\infty A(x) x^{-s-1}\, dx \tag{1}$$ for $\sigma > 0$. ...
