Dirichlet eta-function

Definition

The Dirichlet eta-function is defined as the meromorphic function given by the following Dirichlet series:

$\eta (s)=\sum _{n\in \mathbb {N} }{\frac {(-1)^{n-1}}{n^{s}}}$.

It can also be defined in terms of the Riemann zeta-function as:

$\eta (s)=(1-2^{1-s})\zeta (s)$.
