Functional equation for LC-functions with even or odd modulator

Abstract

In a recent work, we introduced \textit{LC-functions} L(s,f)L(s,f), associated to a certain real-analytic function ff at 00, extending the concept of the Hurwitz zeta function and its formula. In this paper, we establish the existence of a functional equation for a specific class of LC-functions. More precisely, we demonstrate that if the function pf(t):=f(t)(et1)/tp_f(t):=f(t)(e^t-1)/t, called the \textit{modulator} of L(s,f)L(s,f), exhibits even or odd symmetry, the \textit{LC-function formula} -- a generalization of the Hurwitz formula -- naturally simplifies to a functional equation analogous to that of the Dirichlet L-function L(s,χ)L(s,\chi), associated to a primitive character χ\chi of inherent parity. Furthermore, using this equation, we derive a general formula for the values of these LC-functions at even or odd positive integers, depending on whether the modulator pfp_f is even or odd, respectively. Two illustrative examples of the functional equation are provided for distinct parity of modulators.
