Abstract
In 1874, Franz Mertens proved the so-called Mertens’ theorem, and in 1974, Kenneth S. Williams showed Mertens’ theorem associated with a character. In a previous paper, we presented a graph-theoretic analogue to Williams’ theorem. In this paper, we generalize our previous work in the sense that a character is extended to a representation. To our knowledge, a number-theoretic analogue to our result is not yet known. So, we expect that, by using our methods, it can be proven in the future.
