The Dirichlet function can be constructed as the double pointwise limit of a sequence of continuous functions, as follows: , = (( (!))) for integer j and k. This shows that the Dirichlet function is a Baire class 2 function.
The Dirichlet L-function L(s, χ) = 1 − 3 −s + 5 −s − 7 −s + ⋅⋅⋅ (sometimes given the special name Dirichlet beta function), with trivial zeros at the negative odd integers. Let χ be a primitive character modulo q, with q > 1. There are no zeros of L(s, χ) with Re(s) > 1. For Re(s) < 0, there are zeros at certain negative ...
In analytic number theory and related branches of mathematics, a complex-valued arithmetic function: is a Dirichlet character of modulus (where is a positive integer) if for all integers and : [1] χ ( a b ) = χ ( a ) χ ( b ) ; {\displaystyle \chi (ab)=\chi (a)\chi (b);} that is, χ {\displaystyle \chi } is completely multiplicative .
All known examples are automorphic L-functions, and the reciprocals of F p (s) are polynomials in p −s of bounded degree. [4] The best results on the structure of the Selberg class are due to Kaczorowski and Perelli, who show that the Dirichlet L-functions (including the Riemann zeta-function) are the only examples with degree less than 2.

One example of such a function is the indicator function of the rational numbers, also known as the Dirichlet function. This function is denoted as 1 Q {\displaystyle \mathbf {1} _{\mathbb {Q} }} and has domain and codomain both equal to the real numbers .
Although the proof of Dirichlet's Theorem makes use of calculus and analytic number theory, some proofs of examples are much more straightforward. In particular, the proof of the example of infinitely many primes of the form 4 n + 3 {\displaystyle 4n+3} makes an argument similar to the one made in the proof of Euclid's theorem (Silverman 2013).
An example of the Dirichlet hyperbola method with =,, and . In number theory, the Dirichlet hyperbola method is a technique to evaluate the sum = = (),where f is a multiplicative function.
The set of arithmetic functions forms a commutative ring, the Dirichlet ring, under pointwise addition, where f + g is defined by (f + g)(n) = f(n) + g(n), and Dirichlet convolution. The multiplicative identity is the unit function ε defined by ε ( n ) = 1 if n = 1 and ε ( n ) = 0 if n > 1 .
