Abstract: For any periodic function $f:mathbbNomathbbC$ with period $q$, we study the Dirichlet series $L(s,f):=su{m}_{ngeq1}f(n)/n^s.$ It is well-known that this admits an analytic continuation to the entire complex plane except at $s=1$, where it has a simple pole with residue ${\displaystyle }$ ho:= q^{-1}sum_{1leq aleq q} f(a).${\displaystyle }$ Thus, the function is analytic at $s=1$ when $ho=0$ and in this case, we study its non-vanishing using the theory of linear forms in logarithms and Dirichlet $L$-series. In this way, we give new proofs of an old criterion of Okada for the non-vanishing of $L(1,f)$ as well as a classical theorem of Baker, Birch and Wirsing. We also give some new necessary and sufficient conditions for the non-vanishing of $L(1,f)$.
