In mathematics, the Dirichlet function [1] [2] is the indicator function of the set of rational numbers, i.e. () = if x is a rational number and () = if x is not a rational number (i.e. is an irrational number).
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 ...
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 .

In mathematics, Dirichlet's test is a method of testing for the convergence of a series that is especially useful for proving conditional convergence. It is named after its author Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet , and was published posthumously in the Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées in 1862.
Let σ 0 (n) be the divisor-counting function, and let D(n) be its summatory function: = = (). Computing D(n) naïvely requires factoring every integer in the interval [1, n]; an improvement can be made by using a modified Sieve of Eratosthenes, but this still requires Õ(n) time.
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 .
