DirichletLambda

DirichletLambda[s]

gives the Dirichlet lambda function TemplateBox[{s}, DirichletLambda].

Details

  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numeric manipulation.
  • For , the Dirichlet lambda function is defined as TemplateBox[{s}, DirichletLambda]=sum_(n=0)^infty1/((2n+1)^s).
  • For certain special arguments, DirichletLambda automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • DirichletLambda has no branch cut discontinuities.
  • DirichletLambda can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
  • DirichletLambda automatically threads over lists.
