Factorization Theorems for Hadamard Products and Higher-Order Derivatives of Lambert Series Generating Functions (1712.00608v1)

Abstract: We first summarize joint work on several preliminary canonical Lambert series factorization theorems. Within this article we establish new analogs to these original factorization theorems which characterize two specific primary cases of the expansions of Lambert series generating functions: factorizations for Hadamard products of Lambert series and for higher-order derivatives of Lambert series. The series coefficients corresponding to these two generating function cases are important enough to require the special due attention we give to their expansions within the article, and moreover, are significant in that they connect the characteristic expansions of Lambert series over special multiplicative functions to the explicitly additive nature of the theory of partitions. Applications of our new results provide new exotic sums involving multiplicative functions, new summation-based interpretations of the coefficients of the integer-order $j^{th}$ derivatives of Lambert series generating functions, several new series for the Riemann zeta function, and an exact identity for the number of distinct primes dividing $n$.
