How does Wolfram Alpha know this closed form?

I was messing around in Wolfram Alpha when I stumbled on this closed form expression for the Hurwitz Zeta function: $$ \zeta(3, 11/4) = 1/2 (56 \zeta(3) - 47360/9261 - 2 \pi^3). $$ How does WA know ...

"Mollifier" of the Dirichlet L-function

I was studying some zero-density results for $\zeta(s)$, mostly from Titchmarsh's book "The Theory of the Riemann zeta function", Chapter 9. In one place, as per the literature, a mollifier ...

$ f(s) = 1 + \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{n^{-s}}{p_n}= 0$?

Let $p_n$ be the $n$ th prime number. Let $f(s)$ be a Dirichlet series defined on the complex plane as : $$f(s) = 1 + \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{n^{-s}}{p_n}= 1 + \frac{2^{-s}}{2}+ \frac{3^{-s}}{3} + \...

Explore the relationship between $\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{2x} \frac{1}{{n^s}^x}$ and $\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{2x-1} \frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{{n^s}^x}$ [closed]

I am trying to find an algorithm with time complexity $O(1)$ for a boring problem code-named P-2000 problem. The answer to this boring question is a boring large number of $601$ digits. The DP ...

can we have a Taylor series expansion of the function $\frac{1}{\zeta(s)}$?

can we have a Taylor series expansion of the function $\frac{1}{\zeta(s)}$at $s=1$? if so how can we determine the radius of convergence of this expansion without assuming the truth of the riemann ...

How to prove the following Dirichlet-series/geometric-series idenity, step by step process?

$$\frac{\zeta(s)}{\zeta(hs)} =\prod_p\left(\frac{1-\frac{1}{p^{hs}}}{1-\frac{1}{p^{s}}}\right) =\prod_p\left(1+\frac{1}{p^s}+\cdots +\frac{1}{p^{(h-1)s}}\right)=\sum_{n\in S_h}\frac{1}{n^s}$$ What is ...

Does every Dirichlet series admit an analytic continuation? If so, to what extent?

The identity theorem for analytic continuation shows that uniqueness of analytic continuations of functions is very easy to characterize. This helps us a lot when we are trying to extend functions ...

What is the abscissa of convergence of the series $\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^n \frac {1} {n^s}\ $?

What is the abscissa of convergence of the series $\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^n \frac {1} {n^s}\ $? In the lecture note our instructor claimed that the abscissa of convergence of the above ...

Is this argument sufficient to show alternating zeta series converges for $Re(s)>0$?

The alternating zeta series $$ \eta(s) = \sum\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{n^s} $$ is known to converge for $\sigma=\Re(s)>0$. Question: There are many proofs offered but I wondered if the following simple (...

Is there a name for this generalization of the Riemann Zeta Function?

The usual Riemann Zeta function is $$ \zeta(s) = \sum_n \frac{1}{n^s} $$ Suppose we modify the denominator instead to $$ \zeta_?(s) = \sum_n \frac{1}{(n\sqrt{1+Bn^2})^s} $$ We can do some elementary ...

The formula some simple zeros of the Dirichlet eta function

Let $s$ be a complex variable with $\Re(s)>0$. The Dirichlet eta function $\eta(s)$ is defined by $$\eta(s)=(1-2^{1-s})\zeta(s)$$ where $\zeta(s)$, of course, is the Riemann zeta function. We know ...

Abelian group zeta function

Let $s \in \mathbb{C}$. What's known about $$\zeta_{\mathrm{ab}}(s) := \sum_G \frac{1}{o(G)^s} \tag{1}$$ where the sum is over all finite abelian groups $G$ up to isomorphism? By the primary ...
