COMMENTS

The formula 1/Zeta(s) = 1 - 1/2^s - 1/3^s - 1/5^s + 1/6^s is shown on p. 249 of Derbyshire and relies upon strategies pioneered by Euler.

FORMULA

Given 1/Zeta(s) = 1 -1/2^s - 1/3^s - 1/5^s + 1/6^s - 1/7^s + 1/10^s - 1/11^s...; we apply the binomial transform to the terms: [1, -2, -3, -5, 6, -7, 10, -11, -13, 14, 15, -17, -19, 21...) which is the set of squarefree deficient numbers (A087246), along with the Mobius function of each term.

EXAMPLE

The terms 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7... = A087246, squarefree numbers. Applying the Mobius function rules to each of these, we get 1, -2, -3, -5, 6.... the Mobius function rules are:

Given the domain N, the natural numbers 1,2,3...,

Mu(1) = 1; Mu(n) of N = 0 if n has a square factor; Mu(n) = -1 if n is a prime or the product of an odd number of different primes; Mu(n) = 1 if n is the product of an even numbers of different primes.
