A function that can be defined as a Dirichlet series, i.e., is computed as an infinite sum of powers,
![F(n)=sum_(k=1)^infty[f(k)]^n,](/images/equations/ZetaFunction/NumberedEquation1.svg) |
where 
can be interpreted as the set of zeros of some function. The most commonly encountered
zeta function is the Riemann zeta function,
