Abstract

This paper defines a family of Hurwitz--Lerch type functions whose coefficients are the kk-augmented centered triangular numbers. For this family, we obtain the convergence conditions, a reduction formula, and an Euler-operator form. A Vandermonde-based inversion formula is derived for a class of polynomially weighted Hurwitz--Lerch functions. The family considered here is the quadratic case with geometric factors 11, 22, and 44. The resulting formulas show that three consecutive functions recover the classical Hurwitz--Lerch transcendent and its first two Euler derivatives. We also derive recurrence formulas, ordinary generating functions, finite sums, and special values. The values at z=1z=1 are expressed through Hurwitz zeta functions and Bernoulli polynomials. When a=1a=1, the numerator polynomials of the rational values Hk(z,m,1)H_k(z,-m,1) are written in terms of Eulerian polynomials, while the alternating values Hk(1,m,a)H_k(-1,-m,a) are expressed through Euler polynomials.
