Today I read a very beautiful theorem due to S. Mandelbrojt.
First of all, let me give some definitions, which can be understood by every student who have studied elementary mathematical analysis and complex analysis.
Definition 1Let

be an ascending sequence. the
upper density of

is
The
step of

is
Definition 2The
generalized Dirichlet series 
, with

is given by
Lemma 1If

does not converge or diverge for all s, there exists

such that

converges absolutely if

and it does not converge absolutely if

.

is the abscissa of absolute convergence of

.
Theorem due to S. MendelbrojtLet

be a generalized dirichlet generating function with abscissa of absolute convergence

being finite. For

and

there exists a continuous function

with

such that for all

,

has a singular point in the rectangle

. One such function

is

for

.
CorollaryIn particular, if

and

and

is finite, then every point on the abscissa of absolute convergence is a singular point. So no analytic continuation of the series from right halfplane to left halfplane is possible.
