Abstract

In this paper, by introducing a new operation in the vector space of analytic functions, the author presents a method for derivating the well-known formulas: ζ(1k)=Bkk\zeta(1-k)=-\frac{B_k}{k} and ζ(1n,a)=Bn(a)n\zeta(1-n,a)=-\frac{B_n(a)}{n} , where ζ\zeta, ζ(1n,a)\zeta(1-n,a) denote the Riemann zeta function and the Hurwitz zeta function respectively. BkB_k is the kk-th Bernoulli number. Also the author steps further to deduce some identities related to Bernoulli number and Bernoulli polynomial. Moreover, when combining the operation with forward difference, we can show a new formula for Riemann zeta function, i.e. ζ(s)=en=0i=0n(1)ni1(ni)!(1+i)s.\zeta(s)=e\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\sum_{i=0}^{n}(-1)^{n-i}\frac{1}{(n-i)!(1+i)^{s}}.
