This new function has the property that {{nowrap|F<sub>s</sub>(''x'') {{=}} F<sub>s</sub>(0) − E<sub>s</sub>(''x'')}}, so that all we have done is flip the sign of E<sub>s</sub>(''x'') and offset it vertically. This now increases to a maximum value for low errors, rather than declining to a minimum. Of more interest is the fact that it is a known mathematical function | This new function has the property that {{nowrap|F<sub>s</sub>(''x'') {{=}} F<sub>s</sub>(0) − E<sub>s</sub>(''x'')}}, so that all we have done is flip the sign of E<sub>s</sub>(''x'') and offset it vertically.

The logarithm of the {{w|Riemann zeta function}} function can be expressed in terms of a {{w|Dirichlet series}} involving the Von Mangoldt function: | |||

\ln \zeta(s)=\sum_{n=2}^\infty \frac{\Lambda(n)}{\ln(n)}\,\frac{1}{n^s} | |||

{{ | We can rewrite the cosine term in <math>F_s(x)</math> using the real part of an exponential: | ||

\cos(2 \pi x \log_2 n) | |||
