We show that integrals of the form \[ \dint_{0}^{1} x^{m}{\rm Li}_{p}(x){\rm Li}_{q}(x)dx, (m\geq -2, p,q\geq 1) \] and \[ \dint_{0}^{1} \frac{\ds \log^{r}(x){\rm Li}_{p}(x){\rm Li}_{q}(x)}{\ds x}dx, (p,q,r\geq 1) \] satisfy certain…
We provide an efficient method to evaluate the generalized Stieltjes constants $\gamma_n(a)$ numerically to arbitrary accuracy for large $n$ and $n \gg |a|$ values. The method uses an integral representation for the constants and evaluates…
In this paper we present a new formula relating Stieltjes numbers $\gamma _{n}$ and Laurent coefficinets $\eta_{n}$ of logarithmic derivative of the Riemann's zeta function. Using it we derive an explicit formula for the oscillating part of…
This document introduces a generalization of calculus that treats both continuous and discrete variables on an equal footing. This generalization of calculus was developed independently of the "Calculus on Time Scales" literature but may be…
The Riemann zeta function, and more generally the L-functions of Dirichlet characters, are among the central objects of study in number theory. We report on a project to formalize the theory of these objects in Lean's "Mathlib" library,…
We develop a new generalized form of the fractional kinetic equation involving a generalized k-Bessel function. The generalized $k$-Mittag-leffler function $E^{\gamma,q}_{k,\alpha,\beta}(.)$ is discussed in terms of the solution of the…
The Laurent series expansions of zeta-functions play an important role in understanding their behavior near singularities, and their coefficients often encode significant arithmetic information. In the case of the Riemann and Hurwitz…
This paper presents a new approach to evaluating the special values of the Dirichlet beta function, $\beta(2k+1)$, where $k$ is any nonnegative integer. Our approach relies on some properties of the Euler numbers and polynomials, and uses…
This paper explores closed-form expressions for some polylogarithm integrals with integrands containing five parameters. These closed form expressions are given in terms of the Lerch transcendent function, which reduces, in some cases, to…
Let $\eta$ be the weight $1/2$ Dedekind function. A unification and generalization of the integrals $\int_0^\infty f(x)\eta^n(ix)dx$, $n=1,3$, of Glasser \cite{glasser2009} is presented. Simple integral inequalities as well as some $n=2$,…
We introduce a family of deformed Bailey pairs whose $q$-series, which converge in a two-step limit ($q \to 1^-$ followed by $n \to \infty$) to Dirichlet $L$-functions scaled by $1/\sqrt{\pi}$. This construction generalizes to arbitrary…
A q-analogue of the Riemann zeta function was studied in [Kaneko et al. 03] via a certain q-series of two variables. We introduce in a similar way a q-analogue of the Dirichlet L-functions and make a detailed study of them, including some…
Ramanujan studied a general class of Stirling constants that are the resummation of some natural divergent series. These constants include the classical Euler-Mascheroni, Stirling and Glaisher-Kinkelin constants. We find natural integral…
We obtain a characterization of generalized Stieltjes functions of any order \lambda > 0 in terms of inequalities for their derivatives on (0,\infty). When \lambda=1, this provides a new and simple proof of a characterization of Stieltjes…
The connection between derivatives of $L(s,f)$ for periodic arithmetical functions $f$ at $s=1$ and generalized Stieltjes constants has been noted earlier. In this paper, we utilize this link to throw light on the arithmetic nature of…
We study generalizations of some results of Jean-Louis Nicolas regarding the relation between small values of Euler's function $\varphi(n)$ and the Riemann Hypothesis. Among other things, we prove that for $1\leq q\leq 10$ and for $q=12,…
