In the 1980s, Koecher and, independently, Leshchiner found an elegant formula for the generating function of odd zeta values. In this short note, we derive a $q$-analogue of this formula, which provides a $q$-version of the accelerated…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\xi$ an irrational $p$-adic number. Its irrationality exponent $\mu (\xi)$ is the supremum of the real numbers $\mu$ for which the system of inequalities $$ 0 < \max\{|x|, |y|\} \le X, \quad |y \xi - x|_{p}…

small In this paper, we define $q$-analogues of Dirichlet's beta function at positive integers, which can be written as $\beta_q(s)=\sum_{k\geq1}\sum_{d|k}\chi(k/d)d^{s-1}q^k$ for $s\in\N^*$, where $q$ is a complex number such that $|q|<1$…
