If f is a suitable meromorphic function, then by a classical technique in the calculus of residues, one can evaluate in closed form series of the form,

Suppose that a(n) is an arithmetical function. It is natural to ask whether or not one can evaluate by contour integration

(1.1)

where f belongs to a suitable class of meromorphic functions. We shall give here only a partial answer for a very limited class of arithmetical functions.
