Abstract: Let ${\displaystyle }$lambda(s)=sum_{n=0}^inftyfrac1{(2n+1)^s},${\displaystyle }$ ${\displaystyle }$�eta(s)=sum_{n=0}^inftyfrac{(-1)^{n}}{(2n+1)^s},${\displaystyle }$ and ${\displaystyle }$eta(s)=sum_{n=1}^inftyfrac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n^s}${\displaystyle }$ be the Dirichlet lambda function, its alternating form, and the Dirichlet eta function, respectively. According to a recent historical book by Varadarajan (cite[p.~70]{Varadarajan}), these three functions were investigated by Euler under the notations $N(s)$, $L(s)$, and $M(s)$, respectively. In this paper, we shall present some additional properties for them. That is, we obtain a number of infinite families of linear recurrence relations for $lambda(s)$ at positive even integer arguments $lambda(2m)$, convolution identities for special values of $lambda(s)$ at even arguments and special values of $$ at odd arguments, and a power series expansion for the alternating Hurwitz zeta function $J(s,a)$, which involves a known one for $eta(s)$.
