(Hardy 1999, p. 30; Borwein et al. 2000; Havil 2003, pp. 189-191 and 196-197; Derbyshire 2004, p. 299), sometimes denoted , (Edwards 2001, pp. 22 and 33; Derbyshire 2004, p. 298), or (Havil 2003, p. 189). Note that this is not an infinite series since the terms become zero starting at , and where is the floor function and is the base-2 logarithm. For , 2, ..., the first few values are 0, 1, 2, 5/2, 7/2, 7/2, 9/2, 29/6, 16/3, 16/3, ... (OEIS A096624 and A096625). As can be seen, when is a prime, jumps by 1; when it is the square of a prime, it jumps by 1/2; when it is a cube of a prime, it jumps by 1/3; and so on (Derbyshire 2004, pp. 300-301), as illustrated above.
Amazingly, the prime counting function is related to by the Möbius transform

where is the Möbius function (Riesel 1994, p. 49; Havil 2003, p. 196; Derbyshire 2004, p. 302). More amazingly still, is connected with the Riemann zeta function by

(Riesel 1994, p. 47; Edwards 2001, p. 23; Derbyshire 2004, p. 309). is also given by

where is the Riemann zeta function, and (5) and (6) form a Mellin transform pair.
Riemann (1859) proposed that

where is the logarithmic integral and the sum is over all nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function (Mathews 1961, Ch. 10; Landau 1974, Ch. 19; Ingham 1990, Ch. 4; Hardy 1999, p. 40; Borwein et al. 2000; Edwards 2001, pp. 33-34; Havil 2003, p. 196; Derbyshire 2004, p. 328). Actually, since the sum of roots is only conditionally convergent, it must be summed in order of increasing even when pairing terms with their "twins" , so

(Edwards 2001, pp. 30 and 33).
This formula was subsequently proved by Mangoldt (1895; Riesel 1994, p. 47; Edwards 2001, pp. 48 and 62-65). The integral on the right-hand side converges only for , but since there are no primes less than 2, the only values of interest are for . Since it is monotonic decreasing, the maximum therefore occurs at , which has value

(OEIS A096623; Derbyshire 2004, p. 329).
Riemann also considered the function

sometimes also denoted (Borwein et al. 2000), obtained by replacing in the Riemann function with the logarithmic integral , where is the Riemann zeta function and is the Möbius function (Hardy 1999, pp. 16 and 23; Borwein et al. 2000; Havil 2003, p. 198). is plotted above, including on a semilogarithmic scale (bottom two plots), which illustrate the fact that has a series of zeros near the origin. These occur at for (OEIS A143530), 15300.7, 21381.5, 25461.7, 32711.9, 40219.6, 50689.8, 62979.8, 78890.2, 98357.8, ..., corresponding to (OEIS A143531), , , , , , , , , , ....
The quantity is plotted above.
This function is implemented in the Wolfram Language as RiemannR[x].
Ramanujan independently derived the formula for , but nonrigorously (Berndt 1994, p. 123; Hardy 1999, p. 23). The following table compares and for small . Riemann conjectured that (Knuth 1998, p. 382), but this was disproved by Littlewood in 1914 (Hardy and Littlewood 1918).
The Riemann prime counting function is identical to the Gram series
(11) |
where is the Riemann zeta function (Hardy 1999, pp. 24-25), but the Gram series is much more tractable for numeric computations. For example, the plots above show the difference where is computed using the Wolfram Language's built-in NSum command (black) and approximated using the first (blue), (green), (yellow), (orange), and (red) points.
In the table, denotes the nearest integer function. Note that the values given by Hardy (1999, p. 26) for are incorrect.

Riemann's function is related to the prime counting function by

However, no proof of the equality of (12) appears to exist in the literature (Borwein et al. 2000).
