Because of its relation to the distribution of prime numbers, the Riemann zeta function {\zeta} (s) is one of the most important functions in mathematics. The zeta function is defined by the following formula for any complex number s with…
Historically known as the Basel problem, evaluating the Riemann zeta function at two has resulted in numerous proofs, many of which have been generalized to compute the function's values at even positive integers. We apply Parseval's…
We evaluate several arctangent and logarithmic integrals depending on a parameter. This provides a closed form summation of certain series and also gives integral and series representation of some classical constants.
The Basel problem consists in finding the sum of the reciprocals of the squares of the positive integers. It was finally solved in 1735 by Leonhard Euler. In this paper, we propose a simple proof based on the Weierstrass Sine product…
By using Fubini theorem or Tonelli theorem, we find that the zeta function value at 2 is equal to a special integral. Furthermore, We find that this special integral is two times of another special integral. By using this fact we obtain the…
Through the application of an evaluation technique based on cyclotomic multiple zeta values recently due to Au, we solve open problems on inverse binomial series that were included in a 2010 analysis textbook by Chen.
We establish a connection between a function and a series representation using a similar technique with that that Euler used to solve the Basel problem. Our result concerns a more general series from which one can obtain $\zeta(2k)$ as a…
Using a double integral we give another solution to the Basel Problem
Euler's solution in 1734 of the Basel problem, which asks for a closed form expression for the sum of the reciprocals of all perfect squares, is one of the most celebrated results of mathematical analysis. In the modern era, numerous proofs…
We introduce an algebraic formulation of cyclic sum formulas for multiple zeta values and for multiple zeta-star values. We also present an algebraic proof of cyclic sum formulas for multiple zeta values and for multiple zeta-star values by…
By doing a slight change to a beautiful and widely unknown argument by E. L. Stark [E. L. Stark, Application of a Mean Value Theorem for Integrals to Series Summation, Amer. Math. Monthly 85 (1978) 481--483.] we get a candidate to be…
The sum formula is a basic identity of multiple zeta values that expresses a Riemann zeta value as a homogeneous sum of multiple zeta values of a given dimension. This formula was already known to Euler in the dimension two case,…
We find and prove relationships between Riemann zeta values and central binomial sums. We also investigate alternating binomial sums (also called Ap\'ery sums). The study of non-alternating sums leads to an investigation of different types…
Euler's sum formula and its multi-variable and weighted generalizations form a large class of the identities of multiple zeta values. In this paper we prove a family of identities involving Bernoulli numbers and apply them to obtain…
We prove some generalizations of the sum formula for multiple zeta values by using Hiroyuki Ochiai's method of proving the sum formula.
The number $\frac{\pi ^{2}}{6}$ is involved in the variance of several distributions in statistics. At the same time it holds $\sum\nolimits_{k=1}^{\infty }k^{-2}= \frac{\pi ^{2}}{6}$, which solves the famous Basel problem. We first provide…
The multiple zeta values are generalizations of the values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. They are known to satisfy a number of relations, among which are the cyclic sum formula. The cyclic sum formula can be stratified…
We study rather general multiple zeta-functions whose denominators are given by polynomials. The main aim is to prove explicit formulas for the values of those multiple zeta-functions at non-positive integer points. We first treat the case…
In this paper we consider iterated integrals of multiple polylogarithm functions and prove some explicit relations of multiple polylogarithm functions. Then we apply the relations obtained to find numerous formulas of alternating multiple…
In 2008, Muneta found explicit evaluation of the multiple zeta star value $\zeta^\star(\{3, 1\}^d)$, and in 2013, Yamamoto proved a sum formula for multiple zeta star values on 3-2-1 indices. In this paper, we provide another way of…
