Let $P$ be a finite poset. Let $\zeta:P\times P\to\mathbb C$ be the zeta function of $P$, defined by $\zeta(x,y)=1$ when $x\leq y$ and $\zeta(x,y)=0$ otherwise. Let $\mu:P\times P\to\mathbb C$ be the Möbius function of $P$, meaning the convolution inverse of $\zeta$ in the incidence algebra of $P$. Thus, for all $x,y\in P$ with $x\leq y$,
\begin{align*}
\sum_{x\leq z\leq y}\mu(x,z)=\mathbb{1}_{\{x=y\}}
\end{align*}
and
\begin{align*}
\sum_{x\leq z\leq y}\mu(z,y)=\mathbb{1}_{\{x=y\}}.
\end{align*}
If $F,G:P\to\mathbb C$ satisfy
\begin{align*}
G(y)=\sum_{x\leq y}F(x)
\end{align*}
for every $y\in P$, then
\begin{align*}
F(y)=\sum_{x\leq y}G(x)\mu(x,y)
\end{align*}
for every $y\in P$.
