We derive several identities for the Hurwitz and Riemann zeta functions, the Gamma function, and Dirichlet $L$-functions. They involve a sequence of polynomials $\alpha_k(s)$ whose study was initiated in an earlier paper. The expansions…
A $q$-analogue of the Hurwitz zeta-function is introduced through considerations on the spectral zeta-function of quantum group $SU_{q}(2)$, and its analytic aspects are studied via the Euler-MacLaurin summation formula. Asymptotic formulas…
We present several sequences of Euler sums involving odd harmonic numbers. The calculational technique is based on proper two-valued integer functions, which allow to compute these sequences explicitly in terms of zeta values only.
In this paper, we focus on the explicit expression of an extended version of Riemann zeta function. We use two different methods, Mellin inversion formula and Cauchy's residue theorem, to calculate a Mellin-Barnes type integral of the…
We show that integrals involving log-tangent function, with respect to certain square-integrable functions on $(0, \pi/2)$, can be evaluated by some series involving the harmonic number. Then we use this result to establish many closed…
We provide an explicit formula for the Tornheim double series in terms of integrals involving the Hurwitz zeta function. We also study the limit when the parameters of the Tornheim sum become natural numbers, and show that in that case it…
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…
Using a different approach, we derive integral representations for the Riemann zeta function and its generalizations (the Hurwitz zeta, $\zeta(-k,b)$, the polylogarithm, $\mathrm{Li}_{-k}(e^m)$, and the Lerch transcendent,…
Building on the mapping relations between analytic functions and periodic functions using the abstract operators $\cos(h\partial_x)$ and $\sin(h\partial_x)$, and by defining the Zeta and related functions including the Hurwitz Zeta function…

We consider the sum $\sum 1/\gamma$, where $\gamma$ ranges over the ordinates of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function in an interval $(0,T]$, and consider the behaviour of the sum as $T \to\infty$. We show that, after subtracting a…
Euler sums (also called Zagier sums) occur within the context of knot theory and quantum field theory. There are various conjectures related to these sums whose incompletion is a sign that both the mathematics and physics communities do not…
Sums of positive integer powers have captivated the attention of mathematicians since ancient times. Over the centuries, mathematicians from diverse backgrounds have provided expressions for the sum of positive integer powers of the first…
For integer $p$, $|p|>1$, and generic rational $x$ and $z$, we establish the irrationality of the series $$\ell_p(x,z)=x\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{z^n}{p^n-x}.$$ It is a symmetric ($\ell_p(x,z)=\ell_p(z,x)$) generalization of the…
In this paper, we obtain some formulas for double nonlinear Euler sums involving harmonic numbers and alternating harmonic numbers. By using these formulas, we give new closed form sums of several quadratic Euler series through Riemann zeta…
In this note we prove that for all $a \in \mathbb{N}$, $x \in \mathbb{R}_+ \cup \{0\}$, and $s \in \mathbb{C}$ with $\Re(s) > a + 2$, the (alternating) weighted series of the Hurwitz zeta function, $$ \sum_{k \geq 1} (\pm 1)^k (k +…
Dirichlet's $L$-functions are natural extensions of the Riemann zeta function. In this paper we first give a brief survey of Ap\'ery-like series for some special values of the zeta function and certain $L$-functions. Then, we establish two…
This paper develops an approach to the evaluation of quadratic Euler sums that involve harmonic numbers. The approach is based on simple integral computations of polyloga- rithms. By using the approach, we establish some relations between…
Integrals involving the kernel function $sech (\pi x)$ over a semi-infinite range are of general interest in the study of Riemann's function $\zeta(s)$ and Hurwitz' function $\zeta(s,a)$. Such integrals that include the $arctan$ and $log$…
We shall show that the sum of the series formed by the so-called hyperharmonic numbers can be expressed in terms of the Riemann zeta function. More exactly, we give summation formula for the general hyperharmonic series.
