SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between arithmetical functions and Dirac delta functions, specifically examining the function A(x) = ∑_{n≤x}a(n) and its derivative dA = ∑_{n=1}^{∞}a(n)δ(x-n). It explores the explicit formula for the Chebyshev function, dΨ(x) = 1 - ∑_{ρ}x^{ρ -1} - (x^{3}-x)^{-1}, and its implications for the sums over Riemann zeros using the Mellin transform. The referenced paper provides insights into the connection with the Gamma function, enhancing the understanding of these mathematical concepts.

can any Arithmetical function [tex]A(x)= \sum_{n\le x}a(n)[/tex]

be regarded as the train of dirac delta functions (its derivative)

[tex]dA = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a(n)\delta (x-n)[/tex]

from this definition could we regard the explicit formulae for chebyshev function

[tex]d\Psi(x) =1- \sum_{\rho}x^{\rho -1}- (x^{3}-x)^{-1}[/tex]

and from this, using the definition of Mellin transform, we could obtain the sums over the Riemann zeros for lots of function f(x) provided its Mellin transform exists.
