Integral representations of the Riemann zeta function for odd-integer arguments (Q1612322): Difference between revisions

Assume that \(n\) is a positive integer and that \(\delta=1\) and \(1/2\). For the Riemann zeta-function the following integral representation is known \[ \zeta (2n+1)=(-1)^{n+1}\frac{(2\pi)^{2n+1}}{2\delta(2n+1)!}\int_0^\delta B_{2n+1}(t)\cot(\pi t) dt, \] where \(B_n(x)\) is the Bernoulli polynomial. The authors obtain analogous representations for the Dirichlet series \[ \sum_{k=1}^\infty(-1)^{k-1}/k^s=(1-2^{1-s})\zeta(s) \] and \[ \sum_{k=0}^\infty 1/(2k+1)^s=(1-2^{-s})\zeta(s) \] that lead to four new representations for \(\zeta (2n+1)\): \[ \zeta (2n+1)=\frac{(-1)^{n+1}(2\pi)^{2n+1}}{2\delta(1-2^{-2n})(2n+1)!}\int_0^\delta B_{2n+1}(t)\tan(\pi t) dt, \] \[ \zeta (2n+1)=\frac{(-1)^{n}\pi^{2n+1}}{4\delta(1-2^{-(2n+1)})(2n)!}\int_0^\delta E_{2n}(t)\csc(\pi t) dt, \] where \(E_n(x)\) is the Euler polynomial.
