In this paper, an elementary method to find the values of the Riemann Zeta function at even natural numbers, and to find values of a closely related series at odd natural numbers is presented. Another method, specifically for the evaluation…
Multiple zeta-star values are variants of multiple zeta values which allow equality in the definition. Similar to the theory of continued fractions, every real number which is greater than $1$ can be realized as an unique infinite multiple…
We prove that every multiple zeta value is a $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combination of $\zeta(k_1,\dots, k_r)$ where $k_i\geq 2$. Our proof also yields an explicit algorithm for such an expansion. The key ingredient is to introduce modified…

We derive and prove a new formulation of the Lerch zeta function as a fractional derivative of an elementary function. We demonstrate how this formulation interacts very naturally with basic known properties of Lerch zeta, and use the…
We describe a simple method that produces automatically closed forms for the coefficients of continued fractions expansions of a large number of special functions. The function is specified by a non-linear differential equation and initial…
We introduce a "resonance" method to produce large values of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ and large and small central values of $L$-functions.
Ap\'ery's remarkable discovery of rapidly converging continued fractions with small coefficients for $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$ has led to a flurry of important activity in an incredible variety of different directions. Our purpose is to…
In this paper, we consider infinite-length versions of multiple zeta-star values. We give several explicit formulas for the infinite-length versions of multiple zeta-star values. We also discuss the analytic properties of the map from…
In the combinatorial theory of continued fractions, the Foata--Zeilberger bijection and its variants have been extensively used to derive various continued fractions enumerating several (sometimes infinitely many) simultaneous statistics on…
We exploit transformations relating generalized $q$-series, infinite products, sums over integer partitions, and continued fractions, to find partition-theoretic formulas to compute the values of constants such as $\pi$, and to connect sums…
A simple and elementary derivation of values at integer points for the Riemann's zeta and related functions is reported.
We explain in detail how to accelerate continued fractions (for constants as well as for functions) using the method used by R.~Ap\'ery in his proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$. We show in particular that this can be applied to a…
We prove an explicit formula for infinitely many convergents of Hurwitzian continued fractions that repeat several copies of the same constant and elements of one arithmetic progression, in a quasi-periodic fashion. The proof involves…
We present here continued fraction for Zeta(3) parametrized by some family of points (F,G) on projective line. This family of points can be obtained if from full projective line would be removed some no more than countable exeptional set of…
