Aug 5, 2016 at 20:11 comment added mick I consider this question far from solved. No Sum over zero's , no non-fourrier type answers. Maybe i gave the impression that we need a zeta - type function or a prime-related function. This is not NEC the case , other special functions are possible , although Some number theory connection is slightly desired ...

Jan 23, 2015 at 23:30 comment added Milo Brandt I imagine it's not what you're looking for, but $-\lceil -x \rceil$ works. (There's probably also a Fourier series for $x-\lfloor x\rfloor$, which is a triangular wave)
