Abstract
We express the values of the Dirichlet inverse f -1 in terms of the values of f without using the values of f -1. We use a method based on representing f -1 * f = δ as a system of linear equations. Jagannathan has given many of the results of this paper without proof starting from the basic recurrence relation for the values of f -1.
