A new approximate functional equation for Hurwitz zeta function for rational parameter (Q1267823)

Let \(s=\sigma+it\) with \(0<\sigma<1\) and \(t>0\). Let \(x\) be a positive integer, and let \(y=2\pi t/x\). Then it is shown that \[ \begin{gathered} \zeta(s,a/k)= \sum_{0\leq n<x} (n+a/k)^{-s}+ \biggl( \frac{2\pi}{i} \biggr)^{s-1} \Gamma(1-s) \sum_{1\leq n\leq y} e^{-2\pi ina/k} n^{s-1}\\ +\Sigma(s,x,a/k)+ R(s,x,a/k), \end{gathered} \] where \(\Sigma(s,x,a/k)\) is a sum of certain auxiliary terms, and the remainder \(R(s,x,a/k)\) satisfies \(\sum_{a=1}^k| R(s,x,a/k)|^2\ll x^{-2\sigma}(\log kt)^2\).
