Abstract:
Under what conditions do the (possibly complex) coefficients of a general Dirichlet series exhibit oscillatory behavior? In this work we invoke Laguerre’s Rule of Signs and Landau’s Theorem to provide a rather simple answer to this question. Furthermore, we explain how our result easily applies to a multitude of functions.References
