In a previous paper by Ferreira and L\'opez [Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 298(1), 2004], the authors derived an asymptotic expansion of the Lerch's transcendent $\Phi(z,s,a)$ for large $\vert a\vert$, valid for…
A new representation of the Lerch's transcendent Phi(z,s,a), valid for positive integer s=n=1,2,... and for z and a belonging to certain regions of the complex plane, is presented. It allows to write an equation relating Phi(z,n,a) and…
We use a Mellin-Barnes integral representation for the Lerch transcendent $\Phi(z,s,a)$ to obtain large $z$ asymptotic approximations. The simplest divergent asymptotic approximation terminates in the case that $s$ is an integer. For…
We demonstrate how to extend formulae for the Lerch transcendent function, $\Phi(e^z,k,b)$, and the polylogarithm, $\mathrm{Li}_{k}(e^{z})$, that only hold at the positive integers to the right half of the complex $k$-plane, that is,…
We review the closed-forms of the partial Fourier sums associated with $HP_k(n)$ and create an asymptotic expression for $HP(n)$ as a way to obtain formulae for the full Fourier series (if $b$ is such that $|b|<1$, we get a surprising…
This paper studies algebraic and analytic structures associated with the Lerch zeta function, extending the complex variables viewpoint taken in part II. The Lerch transcendent $\Phi(s, z, c)$ is obtained from the Lerch zeta function…
We present a numerical method for rigorous over-approximation of a reachable set of differential inclusions. The method gives high-order error bounds for single step approximations and a uniform bound on the error over the finite time…
We study the use of the Euler-Maclaurin formula to numerically evaluate the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,a)$ for $s, a \in \mathbb{C}$, along with an arbitrary number of derivatives with respect to $s$, to arbitrary precision with…
We present the singular Euler--Maclaurin expansion, a new method for the efficient computation of large singular sums that appear in long-range interacting systems in condensed matter and quantum physics. In contrast to the traditional…
We introduce an infinite family of approximations for a Dirichlet $L$-function $L(s, \chi)$ arising from truncated Euler products. These approximations are entire functions and satisfy the same functional equation as $L(s, \chi)$. We…
We discuss the best methods available for computing the gamma function $\Gamma(z)$ in arbitrary-precision arithmetic with rigorous error bounds. We address different cases: rational, algebraic, real or complex arguments; large or small…
We derive new reduction formulas for the incomplete beta function and the Lerch transcendent in terms of elementary functions. As an application, we calculate some new integrals. Also, we use these reduction formulas to test the performance…
We introduce an algorithm to compute the functions belonging to a suitable set ${\mathscr F}$ defined as follows: $f\in {\mathscr F}$ means that $f(s,x)$, $s\in A\subset {\mathbb R}$ being fixed and $x>0$, has a power series expansion…
Computers calculate transcendental functions by approximating them through the composition of a few limited-precision instructions. For example, an exponential can be calculated with a Taylor series. These approximation methods were…
This work is concerned with the proof of \emph{a posteriori} error estimates for fully-discrete Galerkin approximations of the Allen-Cahn equation in two and three spatial dimensions. The numerical method comprises of the backward Euler…
We give two results on the Lerch zeta function $\Phi(z,\,s,\,w)$. The first is to give an explicit expression providing both the analytic continuation of $\Phi$ in $n$-variables $(n \in \{1,\,2,\,3\})$ to maximal domains of holomorphy in…
We evaluate certain multidimensional integrals in terms of the Lerch transcendent function $\Phi$, generalizing Guillera-Sondow's formulas. As an application, we get new representations of classical constants like Euler's constant $\gamma$…
The Brent-McMillan algorithm is the fastest known procedure for the high-precision computation of Euler's constant $\gamma$ and is based on the modified Bessel functions $I_0(2x)$ and $K_0(2x)$. An error estimate for this algorithm relies…
