SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the function G in terms of F, specifically through the equation F(x)=∑_{n=1}^{∞}G(x/n)log n. It establishes that the Dirichlet convolution inverse of log n does not exist, as log 1 equals 0. The participants propose an alternative method to invert G(x) using the formulation G(x)=∑ b(m)F(4x/m), where the sum ranges from 1 to infinity. The coefficients b(m) are determined through specific conditions, leading to a systematic approach to find all coefficients.

Find G in terms of F if

[tex] F(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}G\left(\frac{x}{n}\right)\log n[/tex]

Also what is the Dirichlet convolution inverse of log n?

Clearly log 1 is 0. So it has no dirichlet inverse. But I think, there can be an easy way to get around this and invert the function G(x).
Write G(x)= [tex]\sum b(m)F(4x/m)[/tex] .Sum ranges from 1 to infinity.
So we need F(x)= [tex]\sum\sum b(m)a(n)F(4x/nm)[/tex] . n,m>=1. a(n)=log n
Taking mn=p, we get above sum as
F(x)= [tex]\sum\sum b(m)a(p/m)F(4x/p)[/tex][/tex] . p>=1, m divides p.
So b(1)=0(for p=1,2,3), b(2)= 1/log2(p=4) .
Considering [tex]\sum b(m)a(p/m)[/tex] = 0 , p>4 , we can get all coefficients b.

Thank you for the response.
