Let f ( s ) = n = 1 ∑ ∞ n s d ( n ) + m = 1 ∑ v 2 ( n ) ( m − 3 ) d ( 2 m n ) . Let z ( s ) = n = 1 ∑ ∞ n s 1 . Then,
We claim that f ( s ) = z ( s ) 2 ( 1 − 2 s 1 − 4 s 1 − 8 s 1 − . . . ) 2 , which by the infinite geometric series formula gives f ( s ) = z ( s ) 2 ( 2 s − 1 2 s − 2 ) .
Indeed, z ( s ) 2 = n = 1 ∑ ∞ n s d ( n ) , because the value n s 1 appears exactly d ( n ) times in the sum.
Also, ( 1 − 2 s 1 − 4 s 1 − 8 s 1 − . . . ) 2 = 1 + i = 2 ∑ ∞ ( 2 i ) s i − 1 − 2 i = 1 ∑ ∞ ( 2 i ) s 1 = 1 + i = 1 ∑ ∞ ( 2 i ) s i − 3 . Thus, we need to prove that f ( s ) = n = 1 ∑ ∞ n s d ( n ) + n = 1 ∑ ∞ n s d ( n ) i = 1 ∑ ∞ ( 2 i ) s i − 3 .
Note that n = 1 ∑ ∞ n s d ( n ) i = 1 ∑ ∞ ( 2 i ) s i − 3 = n = 1 ∑ ∞ n k m = 1 ∑ v 2 ( n ) ( m − 3 ) d ( 2 m n ) (Split n = 2 r s )
Thus, we have the desired conclusion.
So, we need to find lim s → 1 z ( s ) 2 ( 2 s − 2 ) , since 2 s − 1 = 1 vanishes.
Note that it is well known (by Laurent Series) that lim s → 1 ( z s − s − 1 1 ) = γ , where γ is the Euler-Macheroni Constant. (see here , for instance). Thus, lim s → 1 z ( s ) 2 ( 2 s − 2 ) = lim s → 1 ( s − 1 ) 2 ( 2 s − 2 ) 2 + 2 γ lim s → 1 s − 1 ( 2 s − 2 ) 2 + γ 2 lim s → 1 ( 2 s − 2 ) 2 , and by L'Hopital Rule the last two terms vanish. It remains to find ( lim s → 1 ( s − 1 ) 2 ( 2 s − 2 ) 2 ) 2 .
By L'Hopital Rule again, lim s → 1 s − 1 2 s − 2 = lim s → 1 1 2 s ln 2 = 2 ln 2 = ln 4 , so the desired sum is ( ln 4 ) 2 , which gives us 1 0 0 0 n + m = 2 ( 1 0 0 0 ) + 4 = 2 0 0 4 .
