The series Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/n^x converges nonuniformly to (1 - 2^(1-x)) zeta(x) (0,1). This series can be described as an alternating version of the "p-series" when 0 < p < 1. Let f(x) = Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/n^x and g(x) = (1 - 2^(1-x)) zeta(x). Then f(0+) = g(0) = 1/2 and f(1) = log(2), whereas g(1) is undefined. Also, f(1/2) = g(1/2) = A113024 = 0.604898643421... .
