Package Exports

math-dirichlet-eta

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 (math-dirichlet-eta) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Dirichlet Eta Function

$NPM version$ $Build Status$ $Coverage Status$ $Dependencies$

Dirichlet eta function.

The Dirichlet eta function is defined by the Dirichlet series

$Dirichlet eta function$

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:

$Dirichlet-Riemann zeta relation$

where ζ(s) is the Riemann zeta function.

Installation

$ npm install math-dirichlet-eta

Usage

var eta = require( 'math-dirichlet-eta' );

eta( s )

Evaluates the Dirichlet eta function as a function of a real variable s.

var v = eta( 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
// returns 0.6931471805599453 => ln(2)

v = eta( 3.14 );
// returns ~0.9096

v = eta( NaN );
// returns NaN

Examples

var linspace = require( 'compute-linspace' );
var eta = require( 'math-dirichlet-eta' );

var s = linspace( -50, 50, 200 );
var v;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < s.length; i++ ) {
    v = eta( s[ i ] );
    console.log( 's: %d, η(s): %d', s[ i ], v );
}

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,

$ node ./examples/index.js

Tests

Unit

This repository uses tape for unit tests. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.

Test Coverage

This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test-cov

Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage directory. To access an HTML version of the report,

$ make view-cov

Browser Support

This repository uses Testling for browser testing. To run the tests in a (headless) local web browser, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test-browsers

To view the tests in a local web browser,

$ make view-browser-tests
