We introduce a series of numbers which serve as a generalization of Bernoulli, Euler numbers and binomial coefficients. Their properties are applied to solve a probability problem and suggest a statistical test for independence and…
For these two decades, the Arakawa-Kaneko zeta function has been studied actively. Recently Kaneko and Tsumura constructed its variants from the viewpoint of poly-Bernoulli numbers. In this paper, we generalize their zeta functions of…
Maximon has recently given an excellent summary of the properties of the Euler dilogarithm function and the frequently used generalizations of the dilogarithm, the most important among them being the polylogarithm function $Li_(z)$. The…
In this note, we extend Euler's transformation formula from the alternating series to more general series. Then we give new expressions for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ by the generalized difference operator $\Delta_{c}$, which…
Euler gives an asymptotic approximation for the function f(x) and recognizes that he is trying to interpolate the factorial function introduced in E19 "De progressionibus transcendentibus seu quarum termini generales algebraice dari…
In modern usage the Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials follow Euler's approach and are defined using generating functions. We consider the functional equation $f(x)+x^k=f(x+1)$ and show that a solution can be derived from…
In this series of seven papers, predominantly by means of elementary analysis, we establish a number of identities related to the Riemann zeta function. Whilst this paper is mainly expository, some of the formulae reported in it are…
The purpose of this article is to introduce q-deformed Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds. Relations between these numbers, Riemann zeta function and q-Bernoulli numbers of higher order are given. Some relations related to the…
This article provides a proof of the famous \textit{Prime Number Theorem} by establishing an analogous statement of the same in terms of the second \textit{Chebyshev Function} $\psi(x)$. We shall be extensively using complex analytic…
By applying the inverse Mellin transform to some simple closed form identities, a number of relationships are established that connect integrals containing Riemann's and Hurwitz' zeta functions ($\zeta(s)$ and $\zeta(s,a)$) and their…
The Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ is defined as the infinite sum $\sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{-s}$, which converges when ${\rm Re}\,s>1$. The Riemann hypothesis asserts that the nontrivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$ lie on the line ${\rm Re}\,s=…
The alternating zeta function zeta*(s) = 1 - 2^{-s} + 3^{-s} - ... is related to the Riemann zeta function by the identity (1-2^{1-s})zeta(s) = zeta*(s). We deduce the vanishing of zeta*(s) at each nonreal zero of the factor 1-2^{1-s}…
A formula for the Hurwitz zeta function at the positive integers $k$, $\zeta(k,b)$, is created by solving the real and the imaginary parts separately and then combining them. A few different formulae for the Hurwitz zeta function are known…
This paper shows that a finite discrete convolution involving Stirling numbers of both kinds and harmonic numbers can be expressed in terms of the Bernoulli numbers. As applications of this expression, the linear recurrence relation for the…
The modified Bernoulli numbers \begin{equation*} B_{n}^{*} = \sum_{r=0}^{n} \binom{n+r}{2r} \frac{B_{r}}{n+r}, \quad n > 0 \end{equation*} introduced by D. Zagier in 1998 were recently extended to the polynomial case by replacing $B_{r}$ by…
The main objective of this paper is to introduce a new extension of Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta function in terms of extended beta function. We then investigate its important properties such as integral representations, differential formulas, Mellin…
In this paper we extend the Shepard-Bernoulli operators introduced in [6] to the bivariate case. These new interpolation operators are realized by using local support basis functions introduced in [23] instead of classical Shepard basis…
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.
Riemann's hypothesis, formulated in 1859, concerns the location of the zeros of Riemann's Zeta function. The history of the Riemann hypothesis is well known. In 1859, the German mathematician B. Riemann presented a paper to the Berlin…
A new, seemingly useful presentation of zeta functions on complex tori is derived by using contour integration. It is shown to agree with the one obtained by using the Chowla-Selberg series formula, for which an alternative proof is thereby…
