Let $L(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\dfrac{a(n)}{n^s}$ be a Dirichlet series were $a(n)$ is a bounded completely multiplicative function. We prove that if $L(s)$ extends to a holomorphic function on the open half space $\Re s >1-\delta$,…

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 $|q|<1$…

We introduce a natural definition for sums of the form \[ \sum_{\nu=1}^x f(\nu) \] when the number of terms x is a rather arbitrary real or even complex number. The resulting theory includes the known interpolation of the factorial by the…

We obtain closed-form expressions for all sums of the form \mbox{$\sum_{k = 1}^n {F_{mk}{}^4 }$} and \mbox{$\sum_{k = 1}^n {L_{mk}{}^4 }$} and their alternating versions, where $F_i$ and $L_i$ denote Fibonacci and Lucas numbers…

We prove the second author's "denominator conjecture" [40] concerning the common denominators of coefficients of certain linear forms in zeta values. These forms were recently constructed to obtain lower bounds for the dimension of the…

The Lucas sequence is a sequence of polynomials in s, and t defined recursively by {0}=0, {1}=1, and {n}=s{n-1}+t{n-2} for n >= 2. On specialization of s and t one can recover the Fibonacci numbers, the nonnegative integers, and the…

This note is concerned with series of the forms $\sum f(a^n)$ and $\sum f(n^{-a})$ where f(a) possesses a Mellin transform and $a > 1$ or $a<0$ respectively. Integral representations are derived and used to transform these series in several…

One of the main objectives of the current paper is to revisit the well known Laurent series expansions of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$, Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,a)$ and Dirichlet $L$-function $L(s,\chi)$ at $s=1$. Moreover, we…

In this paper, by introducing a new operation in the vector space of analytic functions, the author presents a method for derivating the well-known formulas: $\zeta(1-k)=-\frac{B_k}{k}$ and $\zeta(1-n,a)=-\frac{B_n(a)}{n}$ , where $\zeta$,…

Given two variables $s$ and $t$, the associated sequence of Lucas polynomials is defined inductively by $\{0\}=0$, $\{1\}=1$, and $\{n\}=s\{n-1\}+t\{n-2\}$ for $n\ge2$. An integer (e.g., a Catalan number) defined by an expression of the…

We study the theta function and the Hurwitz-type zeta function associated to the Lucas sequence $U=\{U_n(P,Q)\}_{n\geq 0}$ of the first kind determined by the real numbers $P,Q$ under certain natural assumptions on $P$ and $Q$. We deduce an…
