Recurrence for values of the zeta function

From MaRDI portal





For \((p,a)\in\mathbb{C}^2\) and for \(s\in\mathbb{C}-\{-n-m,1-\max\{n,m\},\dots,-1,0,1\}\) with \(n,m\in\mathbb{N}\), let \[ S_1=\sum_{j=0}^m{\ell-j\choose n}p^j\frac{(s)_j}{j!}\zeta(s+j,a+p),\qquad S_2=\sum_{j=0}^n{\ell-j\choose m}(-p)^j\frac{(s)_j}{j!}\zeta(s+j,a), \] where \(\ell=m+n\), \((s)_k=\Gamma(s+k)/\Gamma(s)\) is the Pochhammer symbol, and \(\zeta(s,a)\) is the Hurwitz zeta function. The main result of the paper under review shows the validity of the integral representation \[ S_1-S_2=(-1)^{n+1}{\ell\choose n}p^{\ell+1}\frac{(s)_{\ell+1}}{\ell !} \int_0^1 x^m(1-x)^n\zeta(s+\ell+1,a+px)dx, \] for \(\text{Re}(a)>0\) and \(\text{Re}(a+p)>0\). The author implies this result by suitable replacing of Padé approximation of a key term instead its Taylor expansion, and obtains various identities containing Bernoulli polynomials, Bernoulli numbers, values of the Riemann zeta function and the Hurwitz zeta function, some of which cover and generalize previously known identities.
