Abstract

We use an idea of Pólya and Szegö to give a common basis to Vieta’s formula, Fabius function and the partition function. Moreover our construction leads also to a function considered by Hallström, Bowen and Macintyre, which has, as a particular value, the Kepler-Bouwkamp constant, and to a function considered by Zondadari, that vanishes only at prime numbers.
