Let \(q\geq 1\) be an integer, and let \(H_n^{(q)}=\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{k^q}.\) Denote by \(\zeta_{\mathcal R}(1,q)\) the sum in Ramanujan's sense of the series with general term \(H_n^{(q)}\). The author proves \[ \zeta_{\mathcal R}(1,q)=\int_0^\infty e^{-\xi}\left(\frac{1}{1-e^{-\xi}}-\frac{1}{\xi}\right) P_q(\xi)\,d\xi, \] with \[ P_q(\xi)=\sum_{k=1}^q\frac{L_k(\xi)\xi^{q-k}}{(q-k)!},\qquad L_k(\xi)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{e^{-n\xi}}{n^k},\quad k\in\mathbb Z_{\geq 1}, \] and \[ \zeta_{\mathcal R}(1,q)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{\lambda_{n+1}}{(n+1)!(n+1)^2}S(n+1,q-1), \] with \[ \lambda_{n+1}=(-1)^n\int_0^1\prod_{k=0}^n(x-k)\,dx, \] \[ S(n,q)=\frac{1}{q!}Y_q\left(H_n,H_n^{(2)},2!H_n^{(3)},\dots,(q-1)!H_n^{(q)}\right), \] \[ \frac{1}{q!}Y_q(x_1,x_2,\dots,x_q)=\sum_{c_1+2c_2+\dots+qc_q=q}\frac{x_1^{c_1}x_2^{c_2}\dots x_q^{c_q}}{c_1!c_2!\dots c_q!(1!)^{c_1}(2!)^{c_2}\dots(q!)^{c_q}}. \] For a complex number \(q\) with \(\text{Re}(q)>1\) let \[ \zeta_{\mathcal R}(1,q)=\sum_{n\geq 1}^{\mathcal R}\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{k^q}. \] The author proves that \[ \zeta_{\mathcal R}(1,q)=\int_0^\infty e^{-\xi}\left(\frac{1}{1-e^{-\xi}}-\frac{1}{\xi}\right) P(q,\xi)\,d\xi, \] with \[ P(q,\xi)=\frac{1}{\Gamma(q)}\int_\xi^\infty\frac{1}{e^u-1}u^{q-1}\,du, \] and that the function \[ Z(q)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{\lambda_{n+1}}{(n+1)!(n+1)}\sum_{k=0}^n(-1)^k\frac{C_n^k}{(k+1)^q} \] extends analytically \(\zeta_{\mathcal R}(1,q)\) in \(\mathbb C, \) where \[ \frac{n!}{x(x+1)\dots(x+n)}=\sum_{k=0}^n (-1)^k\frac{C_n^k}{x+k}. \]
