We introduce a new type of multiple zeta functions, which we call bilateral zeta functions, analogous to the Barnes zeta functions. The bilateral zeta function is a periodic function and shares certain basic properties of Barnes zeta…
We obtain new trigonometric identities, which are some product-to-sum type formulas for the higher derivative of the cotangent and cosecant functions. Further, from specializations of our formulas, we derive not only various known…
In this note, we give an exact formula for a general family of rational zeta series involving the coefficient $\zeta(2n)$ in terms of Hurwitz zeta values. This formula generalizes two formulas from a previous paper of the first author. Our…
Here, we study both analytically and numerically, an integral $Z(\sigma,r)$ related to the mean value of a generalized moment of Riemann's zeta function. Analytically, we predict finite, but discontinuous values and verify the prediction…
The secondary zeta function $Z(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\alpha_n^{-s}$, where $\rho_n=\frac12+i\alpha_n$ are the zeros of zeta with $\Im(\rho)>0$, extends to a meromorphic function on the hole complex plane. If we assume the Riemann hypothesis…
We connect Dedekind sums and some formulas for numerical semigroups.
In this paper we improve a result on the order of magnitude of certain cotangent sums associated to the Estermann and the Riemann zeta functions.
We obtain new trigonometric identities, which are product-to-sum type formulas for derivative of the cosecant and cotangent functions. Further, from specializations of our formulas, we derive new reciprocity laws of generalized Dedekind…
We consider cotangent sums associated to the zeros of the Estermann zeta function considered by the authors in their previous paper [5]. We settle a question on the rate of growth of the moments of these cotangent sums left open in [5], and…
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 prove an inequality featuring three well-known functions from analysis, namely the cotangent, the Euler-Riemann zeta function, and the digamma function. Aside from a simple proof of our result, we give a conjectured strengthening. We…
In this paper we investigate a certain category of cotangent sums and more specifically the sum $$\sum_{m=1}^{b-1}\cot\left(\frac{\pi m}{b}\right)\sin^{3}\left(2\pi m\frac{a}{b}\right)\:$$ and associate the distribution of its values to a…
A new method for continuing the usual Dirichlet series that defines the Riemann zeta function ${\zeta}(s)$ is presented. Numerical experiments demonstrating the computational efficacy of the resulting continuation are discussed.
The classical Dedekind sums $s(d, c)$ can be represented as sums over the partial quotients of the continued fraction expansion of the rational $\frac{d}{c}$. Hardy sums, the analog integer-valued sums arising in the transformation of the…
In this paper we extend a result on the asymptotics of moments of certain cotangent sums associated to the Estermann and Riemann zeta functions established in a previous paper for integer exponents to arbitrary positive real exponents.
In this paper, we study the generalized Dedekind-Rademacher sums considered by Hall, Wilson and Zagier. We establish a formula for the products of two Bernoulli functions. The proof relies on Parseval's formula, Hurwitz's formula, and…
By giving the definition of the sum of a series indexed by a set on which a group acts, we prove that the sum of the series that defines the Riemann zeta function, the Epstein zeta function, and a few other series indexed by $\Z^k$ has an…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of the entire function \[ E(z) = \sum_{n\ge 0} \frac{z^n}{\gamma (n+1)} \] and the analytic function \[ K(z) = \frac1{2\pi {\rm i}}\, \int_{c-{\rm i}\infty}^{c+{\rm i}\infty} z^{-s}\gamma (s)\, {\rm d}s\,,…
In this shortnote, a series expansion technique introduced recently by Dancs and He for generating Euler-type formulae for odd zeta values $\:\zeta{(2 k +1)}$, $\zeta{(s)}$ being the Riemann zeta function and $k$ a positive integer, is…
We define a "period ring-valued beta function" and give a reciprocity law on its special values. The proof is based on some results of Rohrlich and Coleman concerning Fermat curves. We also have the following application. Stark's conjecture…
