In this paper, we shall prove the equality \[ \zeta(3,\{2\}^{n},1,2)=\zeta(\{2\}^{n+3})+2\zeta(3,3,\{2\}^{n}) \] conjectured by Hoffman using certain identities among iterated integrals on $\mathbb{P}^{1}\setminus\{0,1,\infty,z\}$.

Euler discovered a formula for expressing the value of the Riemann zeta function for all even positive integer arguments. A closed-form expression for the Riemann zeta function for all odd integer arguments, based on the values of the…

It is commonly known that $\zeta(2k) = q_{k}\frac{\zeta(2k + 2)}{\pi^2}$ with known rational numbers $q_{k}$. In this work we construct recurrence relations of the form $\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty}r_{k}\frac{\zeta(2k + 1)}{\pi^{2k}} = 0$ and show…

Ramanujan introduced mock theta functions in his last letter to G.H.Hardy. He provided examples and various relations between them. G.N.Watson found transformations for the third order mock theta functions $f(q)$ and $\omega$(q). Zwegers in…

We examine an unstudied manuscript of N.~S.~Koshliakov over $150$ pages long and containing the theory of two interesting generalizations $\zeta_p(s)$ and $\eta_p(s)$ of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$, which we call \emph{Koshliakov…

We define the generalized Dirichlet beta and Riemann zeta functions in terms of the integrals, involving powers of the hyperbolic secant and cosecant functions. The corresponding functional equations are established. Some consequences of…

This survey text deals with irrationality, and linear independence over the rationals, of values at positive odd integers of Riemann zeta function. The first section gives all known proofs (and connections between them) of Ap\'ery's Theorem…

Several identities for the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ are proved. For example, if $s = \sigma + it$ and $\sigma > 0$, then $$ \int_{-\infty}^\infty |{(1-2^{1-s})\zeta(s)\over s}|^2dt = {\pi\over\sigma}(1 -…

Beuker's [2] considers the following integral $$ \int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{1} \frac{-\log xy}{1-xy} P_n(x)P_n(y)\ dx dy$$If $d_n=\text{LCM}(1,2,...,n)$, then $$ 0<\frac{|A_n+B_n\zeta(3)|}{d_n^3}<2(\sqrt{2}-1)^{4n} \zeta(3) $$ for some…

In this paper we provide a new series representation for the values of Riemann zeta function at integer arguments, namely: $ \zeta(m)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{m(-1)^{n-1}\Gamma(1-\omega_{m}n)...\Gamma(1-\omega_{m}^{m-1}n)}{n!n^m}$, where…

We derive two new analogues of a transformation formula of Ramanujan involving the Gamma and Riemann zeta functions present in the Lost Notebook. Both involve infinite series consisting of Hurwitz zeta functions and yield modular relations.…

An important component of Ap\'ery's proof that $\zeta (3)$ is irrational involves representing $\zeta (3)$ as the limit of the quotient of two rational solutions to a three-term recurrence. We present various approaches to such Ap\'ery…

An identity stated by Kimura and proved by Ruehr, Kimura and others stipulates that for any function $f$ continuous on $[-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{2}]$ one has $$ \int_{-1/2}^{3/2} f(3x^2 - 2x^3) dx = 2 \int_0^1 f(3x^2 - 2x^3) dx. $$ We prove…
