In this article, we derive, using Fourier series and multiple derivative of the function $\pi/\sin(\pi x)$, series representations for positive powers of $\pi$. We also show that the Euler-Wallis product can be easily obtained from the same…
In this sequel to our recent note it is shown, in a unified manner, by making use of some basic properties of certain special functions, such as the Hurwitz zeta function, Lerch zeta function and Legendre chi function, that the values of…
Using the Dirichlet integrals, which are employed in the theory of Fourier series, this paper develops a useful method for the summation of series and the evaluation of integrals.
We introduce a self-inverse function via an integral equivalent to a two-term combination of dilogarithms. We refer to this function as a fundamental form, since there is a family of extensions of this function that satisfy similar…
