Possible regularisation for sum of function of primes
Consider the following sum of function of primes:
$$-\sum_{p}\ln\left( 1 - \frac{1}{(ep)^{1/2}} \right){\ln(p)}$$
Here $p$ runs through all primes and $e$ is Euler's constant.
We can see that the sum ...

Is it possible to sum the divergent series with prime coefficients?
It is known that the series $$ P := \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} p_{n} \qquad \text{where } p_{n} \text{ is the n'th prime} $$ cannot be summed by means of (prime) zeta function regularization. (The result was ...

Abel summation of the alternating series of primes?
Consider the ordinary generating function of the sequence of primes ($2+3x+5x^2+7x^3 + ...$); by the ratio test and the prime number theorem, its radius of convergence is $1$. Thus, we might well ask ...
