We start with the generalized mu function:


<nowiki>$$ \mu \left( x \right) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{\operatorname{abs} \left( \operatorname{mod} \left( 2\log_{2} \left( k \right) x, 2 \right) - 1 \right)}{k^{2}} $$</nowiki>
<nowiki>$$ \mu \left(\sigma, x \right) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{\operatorname{abs} \left( \operatorname{mod} \left( 2\log_{2} \left( k \right) x, 2 \right) - 1 \right)}{k^{\sigma}} $$</nowiki>


Now, this is nowhere differentiable, so it might be useful to replace the "zigzag" that we use as our error function with a "smoother" alternative. The most obvious answer is cosine:

Let's clean up the function by removing the scale factors on x:

For now, we will ignore the Re() function as a sum of real parts is the same as the real part of the sum (by the rules of complex addition), and the denominator is just a real number.

e<sup>ln(n)x</sup> = n<sup>x</sup>, so:
e<sup>ln(n)x</sup> = n<sup>x</sup>, so:


<nowiki>$$ \mu_{d}\left(x\right)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{k^{ix}}{k^{2}} $$</nowiki>
<nowiki>$$ \mu_{d}\left(\sigma, x\right)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{k^{ix}}{k^{\sigma}} $$</nowiki>


Thus:
Thus:
$$ \mu_{d}\left(\sigma, x\right)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}k^{ix}{k^{-\sigma} $$
$$ \mu_{d}\left(\sigma, x\right)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}k^{-\sigma+ix} $$
-σ+ix is just a complex number, which we may write as -s:
$$ \mu_{e}\left(s\right)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}k^{-s} $$
But this is the definition of the Riemann zeta function, so μ<sub>e</sub>(s) = ζ(s), and re-adding the Re() function gives Re(ζ(s)) with s = σ-ix; x is the equal division and σ is the weight.
