Mobius inversion formula

Revision as of 20:54, 13 March 2022 by Orange quail 9 (talk | contribs) (Cosmetic edit for parentheses)

Suppose that $f$ and $g$ are functions from the natural numbers to the real numbers such that $f(n) = \sum_{d|n}g(d)$. Then we can express $g$ in terms of $f$ as $g(n) = \sum_{d|n} \mu\left(\frac{n}{d}\right)f(d)$ where $\mu$ is the Mobius function. This formula is useful in number theory.
