In this paper we extend the Zeta function regularization technique, which gives a meaningful solution to divergent power series, in order to assign finite values to divergent integral of certain transcendental functions $f(x)$. The…
We use the asymptotic expansion of the heat trace to express all residues of spectral zeta functions as regularized sums over the spectrum. The method extends to those spectral zeta functions that are localized by a bounded operator.

We determine the special values at positive integers of the spectral zeta function associated with the combinatorial Laplacian on the regular tree. These values admit explicit formulas in terms of certain polynomials, which we show to be…
It is known that not all summation methods are linear and stable. Zeta function regularization is in general non-linear. However, in some cases formal manipulations with "zeta function" regularization (assuming linearity of sums) lead to…

Partial zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields generalize the classical zeta function by allowing each variable to be defined over a possibly different extension field of a fixed finite field. Due to this extra variation…

We discuss modifications in the integral representation of the Riemann zeta-function that lead to generalizations of the Riemann functional equation that preserves the symmetry $s\to (1-s)$ in the critical strip. By modifying one integral…
Zeta function regularization is an effective method to extract physical significant quantities from infinite ones. It is regarded as mathematically simple and elegant but the isolation of the physical divergency is hidden in its analytic…
Using the fact that a finite sum of power series are given by the difference between two zeta functions, we justify the usage of the zeta function with a negative variable in physical problems to avoid the divergence of the infinite sum. We…
