hatnote This article is not about the Dirichlet distribution of probability theory. In mathematics , the Dirichlet density or analytic density of a set of prime number primes , named after Johann Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet Johann Gustav Dirichlet , is a measure of the size of the set that is easier to use than the natural density . Definition If A is a subset of the prime numbers, the Dirichlet density of A is the limit math lim s rightarrow 1 sum p in A 1 over p s over log frac 1 s 1 math if the limit ... order , at least if the function on the right is a holomorphic function times a real power of s &minus 1 near s 1. For example, if A is the set of all primes, the function on the right is the Riemann zeta function which has a pole of order 1 at 0, so the set of all primes has Dirichlet density 1. More generally, one can define the Dirichlet density of a sequence of primes or prime powers , possibly with repetitions, in the same way. Properties If a subset of primes A has a natural density, given ... a Dirichlet density, and the two densities are the same. However it is usually easier to show that a set of primes has a Dirichlet density, and this is good enough for many purposes. For example, in proving Dirichlet s theorem on arithmetic progressions , it is easy to show that the Dirichlet density of primes in an arithmetic progression a nb for a , b coprime has Dirichlet density ... that this is the natural density. Roughly speaking, proving that some set of primes has a non zero Dirichlet density usually involves showing that certain L function L functions do not vanish at the point s 1, while showing that they have a natural density involves showing that the L functions have ... density, then it also has a natural density, but it is possible to find artificial counterexamples for example, the set of primes whose first decimal digit is 1 has no natural density, but has Dirichlet density log 2 log 10 . ref This is attributed by J. P. Serre to a private communication from ... more details
