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 $\sigma > 0$. ...

Dirichlet series of an elementary function

Is there an example of an elementary function (different from Dirichlet polynomials, i.e. cutoff Dirichlet series) which has a know Dirichlet expansion (known coefficients)? I am aware of the ...

Is there any relationship between a Dirichlet series and the same series with the sequence "shifted" by one term?

Suppose $$ F(s) := \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{a_{n}}{n^{s}} $$ is a Dirichlet series for the sequence $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots\in\mathbb{C}$. Then let $$ G(s) := \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{a_{n}}{(n+1)^{s}}...

Find the limit $\lim\limits_{s\to0^+}\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\sin n}{n^s}$

This is a math competition problem for college students in Sichuan province, China. As the title, calculate the limit $$\lim_{s\to0^+}\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\sin n}{n^s}.$$ It is clear that the ...

$F(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{f(n)}{n^s}$ and $G(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{g(n)}{n^s}$ s.t $F(s_k)=G(s_k)$ show that $f(n)=g(n)$

Let $F(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{f(n)}{n^s}$ and $G(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{g(n)}{n^s}$ be two Dirichlet series which are absolutely convergent for $\Re(s)>a$ for some $a\in \Bbb R$. If there ...

Dirichlet series $\sum a_n n^{-x}$ where $(a_1+\dots+a_n)/n \rightarrow A$

I am working on some Dirichlet series and I am familiar with the proofs of convergence of the functions $\zeta$ and $\eta$. And I was wondering if $g(x)=\sum a_n n^{-x}$ was normally convergent on $[a,...

What is the limit of this Dirichlet series?

Background & Motivation I'm trying to verify/disprove the conjectured formula of the weighted integral of $f(x)$: The Definite Integral Problem (with a twist)? $$ \lim_{k \to \infty} \lim_{n \...

Is this class of series all demonstrably transcendental?

Question: For a vector with integer entries $[a_0, a_1, \dots, a_{k-1}]$ is it true that when $\sum_{n=1}^\infty{\frac{a_{n-1 \mod k}}{n}}$ is not divergent it limits to some transcendental number ...

Proving convergence of the Dirichlet Eta function

I've been struggling to prove this for a project as I'm not an expert in the field, so i decided to go back to basics. The Dirichlet Eta Function is defined by: $$ \eta (s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \...

Proof of Dirichlet L-function Euler Product formula (from Fourier Analysis by Stein)

On page 260 of Stein and Shakarchi's "Fourier Analysis," there's a proof of the Dirichlet product formula: $\sum_{n}\frac{\chi(n)}{n^s}=\Pi_{p}\frac{1}{1-\chi(p)p^{-s}}$ where $s>1$, $\chi$ is a ...

We can suppose without loss... General Dirichlet question

I would like to know why I can start supposing that $\sigma_{0}=0$ in the proof of the following theorem about Dirichlet series: "Let $a_{n}\ge0$ for every $n\ge1$. Then the point $s=\sigma_{0}$ is a ...

Integral evaluation for the Riesz means special case $s_n=1$

At the moment, I am investigating the Riesz means defined as the series $$ s^{\delta}(\lambda)=\sum_{n\leq\lambda}\left( 1-\frac{n}{\lambda} \right)^{\delta}s_n. $$ Consider the special case $s_n=1$. ...

Interesting phenomenon with the $\zeta(3)$ series

I noticed that if one takes certain partial sums of the series for $\zeta(3)$: $$\zeta(3) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^3} \approx \sum_{n=1}^{N} \frac{1}{n^3}$$ an interesting phenomenon occurs ...
