Least common period of a finite sum of exponentials
Hello,
I have come across the function
$f(t) = \sum_{j=1}^n c_j e^{2 \pi i a_j t}$
with $c_j \in \mathbb{C}$, $c_j\neq 0$ and $a_j\in\mathbb{R}$, $a_j \neq 0$ for $j=1,...,n$, a …

What is $\sum (x+\mathbb{Z})^{-2}$?
This is a simple question, but its been bugging me. Define the function $\gamma$ on $\mathbb{R}\backslash \mathbb{Z}$ by
$$\gamma(x):=\sum_{i\in \mathbb{Z}}\frac{1}{(x+i)^2}$$
The …
