The Faulhaber Formula Analytic Continuation

Complex Variables 2022-06-14 v3

Abstract

We extend the Faulhaber formula to the whole complex plane, obtaining an expression that fully resembles the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula, only it's exact. Thereafter, an expression for the generalized harmonic progressions valid in the whole complex plane is also derived. Lastly, we extend a formula for the Hurwitz zeta function valid at the negative integers, ζ(k,b)\zeta(-k,b), to the whole complex plane, following a similar procedure.
