The definite integral with the kernel x/(x^2+b^2)/[\exp(2\pi x)-1] integrated from x=0 to infinity is the main term of a representation of the Digamma-Function psi(b), the derivative of the logarithm of the Gamma-Function. We present…

We consider the known functional identity on the Weierstrass sigma function. A complete classification of odd entire functions which satisfy the same identity is obtained.

Motivated by rigorous development in the theory of digamma functions, we have first derived some new identities for the digamma function, and then computed the values of digamma function for the fractional orders using these identities…

For a real analytic periodic function $\phi:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$, an integer $b\ge 2$ and $\lambda\in (1/b,1)$, we prove the following dichotomy for the Weierstrass-type function $W(x)=\sum\limits_{n\ge 0}{{\lambda}^n\phi(b^nx)}$:…

We find exact identities for sums of the form \begin{equation*}\label{eq:convsumabs} \sum_{\stackrel{n_1+n_2 = n}{n_1 \in \mathbb{Z} \setminus \{ 0, n \} }} Q(n_1,n_2) \sigma_{-r_1}(n_1) \sigma_{-r_2}(n_2), \end{equation*} where…

The Dirichlet lambda function $\lambda(s)$ is defined for $\mathrm{Re}(s) > 1$ by \[ \lambda(s) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(2n+1)^s}. \] This function was initially studied by Euler on the real line, where he denoted it by $N(s)$. In…

We consider the distribution of $\arg\zeta(\sigma+it)$ on fixed lines $\sigma > \frac12$, and in particular the density \[d(\sigma) = \lim_{T \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{1}{2T} |\{t \in [-T,+T]: |\arg\zeta(\sigma+it)| > \pi/2\}|\,,\] and the…

We present an easily defined countable family of permutations of the natural numbers for which explicit rearrangements (i.e., the sums induced by the permutations) can be computed. The digamma function proves to be the key tool for the…

We prove exact identities for convolution sums of divisor functions of the form $\sum_{n_1 \in \mathbb{Z} \smallsetminus \{0,n\}}\varphi(n_1,n-n_1)\sigma_{2m_1}(n_1)\sigma_{2m_2}(n-n_1)$ where $\varphi(n_1,n_2)$ is a Laurent polynomial with…

It is known by a formula of Hasse-Sondow that the Riemann zeta function is given, for any $ s=\sigma+it \in \mathbb{C}$, by $ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \widetilde{A}(n,s)$ where $$ \widetilde{A}(n,s):=\frac{1}{2^{n+1}(1-2^{1-s})} \sum_{k=0}^n…

For a certain function $J(s)$ we prove that the identity $$\frac{\zeta(2s)}{\zeta(s)}-\left(s-\frac{1}{2}\right)J(s)=\frac{\zeta(2s+1)}{\zeta(s+1/2)}, $$ holds in the half-plane Re$(s)>1/2$ and both sides of the equality are analytic in…
