DirichletL

gives the Dirichlet L-function

for the Dirichlet character

with modulus k and index j.

The possible Dirichlet characters modulo k are specified by an index j, and given by DirichletCharacter.

DirichletL can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision for integer k and j, and arbitrary complex s.
