Intuition behind theta function L-series correspondence

I know that we can analytically continue $L$-series by taking the Mellin transform of a sutiable theta function. Technically we need a transformation law for the theta function at $0$ and $\infty$ as ...

Uniform convergence about Dirichlet integral $f(s):=\int_1^\infty\frac{a(x)}{x^s}\,dx =\lim\limits_{T\to\infty}\int_1^T\frac{a(x)}{x^s}\,dx$

On page 87 of Ingham's book: The Distribution Of Prime Numbers, the author asserts the following results, but does not give proof. Let $a(x)$ be a bounded and integrable function over any finite ...

Question on convergence of explicit fomulas for summatory functions related to Dirichlet series

Given the totient summatory function $$\Phi(x)=\sum\limits_{n=1}^x\varphi(n)\tag{1}$$ and the related Dirichlet series $$\frac{\zeta(s-1)}{\zeta(s)}=\underset{N\to\infty}{\text{lim}}\left(\sum\limits_{...

Is there a valid explicit formula for $f(x)=\sum\limits_{n=1}^x \frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{d|n} \mu(d)\,d$?

This question is related to the function $f(x)$ defined in (1) below where A023900(n) is the Dirichlet inverse of Euler totient function $\phi(n)$. I believe the related Dirichlet series illustrated ...

isometry relating $L^2(\mathbb{R}, dx)$ and $L^2([0, \infty), \frac{dx}{x})$

What is the basis for functions on the Hilbert space $L^2([0,\infty), \frac{dx}{x})$. I am studying the Mellin transform and I'm trying to understand the role of the functions $n^{it} = e^{it \, \log ...

Help me understand this theorem demonstration - Dirichlet series

On a chapter on Dirichlet series, there is this lemma: Lemma: if $f \in C^\infty$ and $\forall n, k, |f^{(n)}(t)| =o(t^k)$ when $t \to +\infty $ then $M(f, s) = \frac{1}{\Gamma(s)} \int_0^\infty f(...

On $\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{c-i\infty}^{c+i\infty}\eta'(s)\frac{x^s}{s\zeta(s)}ds$, for $c>1$, where $\eta(s)$ is the Dirichlet Eta function

When I was combining the identities from this article from Wikipedia for the Mertens function, I've asked my an open question, if you can solve it from a standard viewpoint it is appreciated, and ...

if $f(x)$ is periodic $\left|\int_1^\infty f(x) x^{-s} dx\right| \sim C\left|\int_1^\infty \sin(x) x^{-s} dx\right|$ when $\text{Im}(s) \to \infty$

is it true that if $f(x)$ is periodic, non-constant and bounded $$\text{when } T \to \infty ,\qquad\qquad\sup_{|t| \ <\ T}\ \ \left|\ \int_1^\infty f(x) x^{-\sigma-it} dx\ \right| \ \sim \ ...

Derivation of Perron's formula

I tried to derive Perron's formula, but got really screwed up. I know of other ways to derive it, but I'm not quite sure why this way isn't working. I would appreciate some pointers on where I'm going ...
