Commenting on an observation of Prof. Edwards, this note presents a method of evaluation of $\zeta(2n)$ that follows easily from Riemann's own representation of the zeta function.
Based on the WZ method, some series acceleration formulas are given. These formulas allow to write down an infinite family of parametrized identities from any given identity of WZ type. Further, this family, in the case of the Riemann Zeta…
We give a new proof of the identity $\zeta(\{2,1\}^l)=\zeta(\{3\}^l)$ of the multiple zeta values, where $l=1,2,\dots$, using generating functions of the underlying generalized polylogarithms. In the course of study we arrive at…
A Ramanujan-type formula involving the squares of odd zeta values is obtained. The crucial part in obtaining such a result is to conceive the correct analogue of the Eisenstein series involved in Ramanujan's formula for $\zeta(2m+1)$. The…
In this paper, we find rational zeta series with $\zeta(2n)$ in terms of $\zeta(2k+1)$ and $\beta(2k)$, the Dirichlet beta function. We then develop a certain family of generalized rational zeta series using the generalized Clausen function…
Koecher in 1980 derived a method for obtaining identities for the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers, including a classical result for $\zeta(3)$ due to Markov and rediscovered by Ap\'ery. In this paper we extend Koecher's…
We derive several identities for the Hurwitz and Riemann zeta functions, the Gamma function, and Dirichlet $L$-functions. They involve a sequence of polynomials $\alpha_k(s)$ whose study was initiated in an earlier paper. The expansions…
Already in 1734 Euler found a short explicit formula for the value of Riemann zeta function Zeta(s) when the argument s equals a positive integer 2n where n=1,2,3,. No such formula exists for odd positive integer arguments of Zeta. The…
In this work we introduce a new polynomial representation of the Bernoulli numbers in terms of polynomial sums allowing on the one hand a more detailed understanding of their mathematical structure and on the other hand provides a…
It is commonly known that $\zeta(2k) = q_{k}\frac{\zeta(2k + 2)}{\pi^2}$ with known rational numbers $q_{k}$. In this work we construct recurrence relations of the form $\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty}r_{k}\frac{\zeta(2k + 1)}{\pi^{2k}} = 0$ and show…
We find the Hecke-Rogers type series representations of generating functions of the Hurwitz class numbers which is very close to certain mock theta functions. We also prove two combinatorial interpretation of Hurwitz class numbers appeared…
We present some simple proofs of the well-known expressions for \[ \zeta(2k) = \sum_{m=1}^\infty \frac{1}{m^{2k}}, \qquad \beta(2k+1) = \sum_{m=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^m}{(2m+1)^{2k+1}}, \] where $k = 1,2,3,\dots$, in terms of the Bernoulli…
Bachmann proves an identity expressing the generating series of MacMahon's generalized sum-of-divisors $q$-series in terms of Eisenstein series. MacMahon's $q$-series can be regarded as a $q$-analogue of the multiple zeta value $\zeta(2, 2,…
We present new methods for the study of a class of generating functions introduced by the second author which carry some formal similarities with the Hurwitz zeta function. We prove functional identities which establish an explicit…
In this note we give the most elementary method (as far as we know) to express $\zeta(2n+1)$ in terms of $\{\zeta(2k)|k\geq 1\}$. The method is based on only some elementary works by Leonhard Euler, so it is very instructive to non-experts…
In this paper we formulate combinatorial identities that give representation of positive integers as linear combination of even powers of 2 with binomial coefficients. We present side by side combinatorial as well as computer generated…

Using a different approach, we derive integral representations for the Riemann zeta function and its generalizations (the Hurwitz zeta, $\zeta(-k,b)$, the polylogarithm, $\mathrm{Li}_{-k}(e^m)$, and the Lerch transcendent,…
In this paper, we shall prove the equality \[ \zeta(3,\{2\}^{n},1,2)=\zeta(\{2\}^{n+3})+2\zeta(3,3,\{2\}^{n}) \] conjectured by Hoffman using certain identities among iterated integrals on $\mathbb{P}^{1}\setminus\{0,1,\infty,z\}$.
