If n is a positive integer, then λ(n) is defined as:
where Ω(n) is the number of prime factors of n, counted with multiplicity. (SIDN A008836 (http://www.research.att.com/cgi-bin/access.cgi/as/njas/sequences/eisA.cgi?Anum=A008836)).
λ is completely multiplicative since Ω(n) is additive. We have Ω(1)=0 and therefore λ(1)=1. The Lioville function satisfies the identity:
The Liouville function is related to the Riemann zeta function by the formula
