Functional relations for hyperbolic cosecant series

Number Theory 2021-02-18 v1

Abstract

We study the function series n=1ϕ2m+2cosch2m+2(nϕ/2)\sum_{n=1}^\infty \phi^{2m+2} \text{cosch}^{2m+2}(n\phi/2), and similar series, for integers mm and complex ϕ\phi. This hyperbolic series is linearly related to the Lambert series. The Lambert series is known to satisfy a functional equation which defines the Ramanujan polynomials. By using residue theorem (summation theorem) we find the functional equation satisfied by this hyperbolic series. The functional equation identifies a class of polynomials which can be seen as a generalization of the Ramanujan polynomials. These polynomials coincide with the asymptotic expansion of the hyperbolic series at the origin and they all vanish for ϕ=±2πi\phi=\pm 2\pi i. We furthermore derive several identities between Harmonic numbers and ordinary and generalized Bernoulli polynomials.
