Cesaro summation of a particular Dirichlet series associated with $\zeta(s)$

If you've investigated the error in Perron's formula in general, you've probably noticed that Cesaro summation $$\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\sum_{n\leq x} \left(1-\frac{\log n}{\log x}\right)\frac{a_n}{...

Modern treatment of Delange's Tauberian Theorem

Tauberian theorems abound in the literature. One of the most general, powerful, and versatile is due to Delange, and appears as Theorem I of the paper: H. Delange - Généralisation du théorème de ...

Are there natural Dirichlet series whose completions have poles in the region of absolute convergence?

The Selberg class of $L$-functions are Dirichlet series $$ L(s, f) = \sum_{n \geq 1} \frac{a(n)}{n^s}, $$ satisfying certain properties that can be abbreviated as analyticity, a Ramanujan conjecture, ...

Approximating $\zeta'/\zeta$ (and its derivatives) by a finite sum

Let $A(s) = (-\zeta'/\zeta)^{(r)}(s) = \sum_n a_n n^{-s}$, where $r\geq 0$. (We can consider $r=0$ first for simplicity.) Say I want to approximate $A(s)$ for $s=1+it$ by a finite sum - preferably a ...

Mean value theorem for Dirichlet series of prime support?

Let $\{a_n\}_{1\leq n\geq N}$, $a_n\in \mathbb{C}$. Let $F(s) = \sum_{n=1}^N a_n n^{-s}$. By a mean-value theorem (Montgomery-Vaughan, 1973), $$\int_0^T |F(i t)|^2 = \sum_{n=1}^N |a_n|^2 (T + O(n)).$$ ...

The following "twisted" Poisson Summation formula for $\chi$ primitive of conductor $q$ : $$ \sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}\chi(n)f\left(\frac{nx}{\sqrt{q}}\right) = \frac{A}{x}\sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}\bar\chi(n)...

Gap Between Abscissae of Conditional Convergence and Holomorphicity for Dirichlet Series

For a Dirichlet series, $D = \sum_n a_n n^{-s}$ we may define the abscissae, in (non-strictly) increasing order $\sigma_c(D) = \inf\{\sigma : D \text{ converges in } \mathrm{Re} s > \sigma \}$, ...

If the Dirichlet series $L(z,\chi)$ diverges for $\sigma< 1$, does its alternating version converge for some $\sigma_0 < 1$, and conversely?

Here $\chi$ is a completely multiplicative function with $\chi(p)\in\{-1,+1\}$ for any prime $p$, but not necessarily a character. Also $s=\sigma + it$ as usual. The series corresponding to $L(s,\chi)$...
