Infinite order linear differential equation satisfied by $p$-adic Hurwitz-type Euler zeta functions
Abstract
In 1900, at the international congress of mathematicians, Hilbert claimed that the Riemann zeta function is not the solution of any algebraic ordinary differential equations on its region of analyticity. In 2015, Van Gorder considered the question of whether satisfies a non-algebraic differential equation and showed that it formally satisfies an infinite order linear differential equation. Recently, Prado and Klinger-Logan extended Van Gorder's result to show that the Hurwitz zeta function is also formally satisfies a similar differential equation \begin{equation*}\label{HurDE} T\left[\zeta (s,a) - \frac{1}{a^s}\right] = \frac{1}{(s-1)a^{s-1}}. \end{equation*} But unfortunately in the same paper they proved that the operator applied to Hurwitz zeta function does not converge at any point in the complex plane . In this paper, by defining , a -adic analogue of Van Gorder's operator we establish an analogue of Prado and Klinger-Logan's differential equation satisfied by which is the -adic analogue of the Hurwitz-type Euler zeta functions \begin{equation*}\label{HEZ} \zeta_E(s,a)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^n}{(n+a)^s}. \end{equation*} In contrast with the complex case, due to the non-archimedean property, the operator applied to the -adic Hurwitz-type Euler zeta function is convergent -adically in the area of with and with where is any finite extension of with ramification index over less than
