Perron's formula, discovered by the mathematician Oskar Perron, is a formula in analytic number theory for computing the sum of the values of an arithmetic function up to some point, using an inverse Mellin transform. It works by connecting a Dirichlet series, an infinite series built from the arithmetic function, to a contour integral, giving a way to recover the sum of the function's values from the analytic behavior of the series. The formula is a fundamental tool in number-theoretic research that studies how arithmetic functions grow.
