This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/math-base-special-dirichlet-eta) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Dirichlet Eta Function
Dirichlet eta function.
The Dirichlet eta function is defined by the Dirichlet series
where s is a complex variable equal to σ + ti. The series is convergent for all complex numbers having a real part greater than 0.
Note that the Dirichlet eta function is also known as the alternating zeta function and denoted ζ*(s). The series is an alternating sum corresponding to the Dirichlet series expansion of the Riemann zeta function. Accordingly, the following relation holds:
where ζ(s) is the Riemann zeta function.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-dirichlet-etaUsage
var eta = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-dirichlet-eta' );eta( s )
Evaluates the Dirichlet eta function for a double-precision floating-point number s.
var v = eta( 0.0 ); // Abel sum of 1-1+1-1+...
// returns 0.5
v = eta( -1.0 ); // Abel sum of 1-2+3-4+...
// returns 0.25
v = eta( 1.0 ); // alternating harmonic series => ln(2)
// returns 0.6931471805599453
v = eta( 3.14 );
// returns ~0.9096
v = eta( NaN );
// returns NaNExamples
var uniform = require( '@stdlib/random-array-uniform' );
var logEachMap = require( '@stdlib/console-log-each-map' );
var eta = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-dirichlet-eta' );
var opts = {
'dtype': 'float64'
};
var s = uniform( 200, -50.0, 50.0, opts );

Usage
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/dirichlet_eta.h"stdlib_base_eta( s )
Evaluates the Dirichlet eta function for a double-precision floating-point number s.
double y = stdlib_base_eta( 0.0 );
// returns 0.5The function accepts the following arguments:
- s:
[in] doubleinput value.
double stdlib_base_eta( const double s );Examples
#include "stdlib/math/base/special/dirichlet_eta.h"
#include <stdio.h>
int main( void ) {
const double x[] = { 45.0, 90.0, 0.0, 0.0 / 0.0 };
double y;
int i;
for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
y = stdlib_base_eta( x[ i ] );
printf( "η(%lf) = %lf\n", x[ i ], y );
}
