In this article, we develop two types of asymptotic formulas for harmonic series in terms of single non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line. The series is obtained by evaluating the complex magnitude of an…
The divergence of the harmonic series is proved by direct comparison with a series whose nth partial sum telescopes to the natural logarithm of n. The key idea is to apply the classical inequality x>=log(1+x) (valid for x>-1) with x=1/k and…
We show how the generalized Lambert series sum(n>=1, x*q^n/(1-x*q^n)) can be computed with Theta convergence. This allows the computation of the sum of the inverse Fibonacci numbers without splitting the sum into even and odd part. The…
We derive finite difference equations of infinite order for theta hypergeometric series and investigate the space of their solutions. In general, such infinite series diverge, we describe some constraints on the parameters when they do…
The natural logarithm can be represented by an infinite series that converges for all positive real values of the variable, and which makes concavity patently obvious. Concavity of the natural logarithm is known to imply, among other…
An explicit transformation for the series $\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}\displaystyle\frac{\log(n)}{e^{ny}-1},$ Re$(y)>0$, which takes $y$ to $1/y$, is obtained for the first time. This series transforms into a series containing $\psi_1(z)$,…
We prove a functional limit theorem in a space of analytic functions for the random Dirichlet series $D(\alpha;z)=\sum_{n\geq 2}(\log n)^{\alpha}(\eta_n+{\rm i} \theta_n)/n^z$, properly scaled and normalized, where…
We provide rapidly converging formulae for the Riemann zeta function at odd integers using the Lambert series $\mathscr{L}_q(s) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{s} q^{n}/(1-q^n)$, $s=-(4k\pm 1)$. Our main formula for $\zeta(4k-1)$ converges at rate…
Using Euler transformation of series we relate values of Hurwitz zeta function at integer and rational values of arguments to certain rapidly converging series where some generalized harmonic numbers appear. The form of these generalized…
To evaluate Riemann's zeta function is important for many investigations related to the area of number theory, and to have quickly converging series at hand in particular. We investigate a class of summation formulae and find, as a special…
We shall show that the sum of the series formed by the so-called hyperharmonic numbers can be expressed in terms of the Riemann zeta function. More exactly, we give summation formula for the general hyperharmonic series.
Inspired by a question asked on the list {\tt mathfun}, we revisit {\em Kempner-like series}, i.e., harmonic sums $\sum' 1/n$ where the integers $n$ in the summation have ``restricted'' digits. First we give a short proof that $\lim_{k \to…
We give some conditions under which (uniform) convergence of a family of Dirichlet series to another Dirichlet series implies the convergence of their individual coefficients and/or exponents. We give some applications to some spectral zeta…
In this paper we extend the Zeta function regularization technique, which gives a meaningful solution to divergent power series, in order to assign finite values to divergent integral of certain transcendental functions $f(x)$. The…
Consider two series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\sin^n\pi\theta n}{n^\alpha},\quad\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{\cos^n\pi\theta n}{n^\alpha}.$$ We show that number-theoretical properties of $\theta$ have a strong effect on the convergence when…
In this article, with a new approach, which is not discussed in the literature yet, the limit of the Riemann zeta function or Euler-Riemann zeta function is approximately explored by applying Dirichlet's rearrangement theorem for absolutely…
The series for the zeta function does not converge on the critical line but the function \[G(t)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^{\frac12+it}}\frac{t}{2\pi n^2+t}\] satisfies $Z(t)=2\Re\{e^{i\vartheta(t)}G(t)\}+O(t^{-\frac56+\varepsilon})$. So…
We show how infinite series of a certain type involving generalized harmonic numbers can be computed using a knowledge of symmetric functions and multiple zeta values. In particular, we prove and generalize some identities recently…
The hyperharmonic numbers h_{n}^{(r)} are defined by means of the classical harmonic numbers. We show that the Euler-type sums with hyperharmonic numbers: {\sigma}(r,m)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}((h_{n}^{(r)})/(n^{m})) can be expressed in terms of…
An extension of two finite trigonometric series is studied to derive closed form formulae involving the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function. The trigonometric series involves angles with a geometric series involving the powers of 3. These closed…
