Abstract

The Stieltjes constants γk(a)\gamma_k(a) appear as the coefficients in the regular part of the Laurent expansion of the Hurwitz zeta function ζ(s,a)\zeta(s,a) about s=1s=1. We present the evaluation of γ1(a)\gamma_1(a) and γ2(a)\gamma_2(a) at rational argument, being of interest to theoretical and computational analytic number theory and elsewhere. We give multiplication formulas for γ0(a)\gamma_0(a), γ1(a)\gamma_1(a), and γ2(a)\gamma_2(a), and point out that these formulas are cases of an addition formula previously presented. We present certain integral evaluations generalizing Gauss' formula for the digamma function at rational argument. In addition, we give the asymptotic form of γk(a)\gamma_k(a) as a0a \to 0 as well as a novel technique for evaluating integrals with integrands with ln(lnx)\ln(-\ln x) and rational factors.
