For {ak} a sequence in R, define
A(t):=∑0≤k≤tak
For ϕ∈C1(R) continuously differentiable,
\begin{align*}
\sum_{x
Fix s∈C,ak=1 for k≥1, and ϕ(x):=x−s. Then A(t)=⌊t⌋, and ⌊x⌋∑n=11ns=⌊x⌋xs+s∫x1⌊u⌋u1+sdu Now take ℜ(s)>1 and lim to yield \begin{align*} \zeta(s)=s \int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{\lfloor u\rfloor}{u^{1+s}} \,du \end{align*} Use this to derive Dirichlet’s theorem.md): \zeta(s) has a simple pole at s=1 with $\mathop{\mathrm{Res}}_ \zeta(s: /zeta(s) has a simple pole at s=1 with /Res_{s=1} /zeta(s) = 1. This works for other Dirichlet series.
