Representations of \(\zeta (2n + 1)\) and related numbers in the form of definite integrals and rapidly convergent series (Q2243795)

The Dirichlet beta-function \(\beta(s)\) and two other Riemann-zeta related functions are defined as: \[ \beta(s) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{k-1}}{(2k-1)^s}, \quad \lambda(s) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{(2k-1)^s}, \quad \eta(s) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{k-1}}{k^s}. \] The main result of the paper provides integral representations of the generating functions for the numbers \(\beta(2m)\), \(\lambda(2m-1)\), \(\eta(2m-1)\) and \(\zeta(2m+1)\). Theorem. Let \(-1<a<1\). Then \[ \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{k-1}}{(2k-1)^2-a^2} = \frac{1}{2a \cos(a \pi /2)}\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac{\sin ax}{\sin x}dx, \] \[ \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{(2k-1)((2k-1)^2-a^2)} = \frac{1}{2a^2}\left( \tan(a\pi/2)\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac{\sin ax}{\sin x}dx-\int_0^{\pi/2}\frac{1-\cos ax}{\sin x}dx\right), \] \[ \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{k-1}k}{k^2-a^2} = \frac{1}{a \sin a \pi}\int_0^{\pi/2}\left(\frac{\sin ax}{\sin x}\right)^2dx, \] \[ \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{k(k^2-a^2)} = \frac{\ln 2}{a^2} + \frac{1}{a^2} \times \left( \int_0^{\pi/2}\left(\frac{\sin 2ax}{2a}-x\right)\frac{dx}{\sin^2 x} - \frac{\cot a\pi}{a}\int_0^{\pi/2}\left(\frac{\sin ax}{\sin x}\right)^2 dx\right). \] Two sets of pretty complex formulas for \(\beta(2m)\), \(\lambda(2m-1)\), \(\eta(2m-1)\) and \(\zeta(2m+1)\) are provided, as well.
