The representation of the generalized linear Euler sums with parameters

In this paper, by using residue method, we obtain the representations of some basic linear generalized Euler sums with parameters. Based on the linear generalized Euler sums with parameters, some new Euler sums are obtained and expressed in the closed forms. When the parameters of new Euler sums take special values, we can get some usual expressions of Euler sums. Moreover, the integrals of many special functions can be expressed as the Euler sums given in this paper.     

The evaluation of character Euler double sums

Euler considered sums of the form

Integrals of polylogarithmic functions, recurrence relations, and associated Euler sums

We show that integrals of the form

and

satisfy certain recurrence relations which allow us to write them in terms of Euler sums. From this we prove that, in the first case for all and in the second case when is even, these integrals are reducible to zeta values. In the case of odd , we combine the known results for Euler sums with the information obtained from the problem in this form to give an estimate on the number of new constants which are needed to express the above integrals for a given weight .

The proofs are constructive, giving a method for the evaluation of these and other similar integrals, and we present a selection of explicit evaluations in the last section.

     

A New Method for Investigating Euler Sums

Euler discovered a recursion formula for the Riemann zeta function evaluated at the even integers. He also evaluated special Dirichlet series whose coefficients are the partial sums of the harmonic series. This paper introduces a new method for deducing Euler's formulas as well as a host of new relations, not only for the zeta function but for several allied functions.     

A new method in the study of Euler sums

A new method in the study of Euler sums is developed. A host of Euler sums, typically of the form , are expressed in closed form. Also obtained as a by-product, are some striking recursive identities involving several Dirichlet series including the well-known Riemann Zeta-function.

Some evaluation of harmonic number sums

In this paper, by using the method of partial fraction decomposition and integral representations of series, we establish some expressions of series involving harmonic numbers and binomial coefficients in terms of zeta values and harmonic numbers. Furthermore, we can obtain some closed form representations of sums of products of quadratic (or cubic) harmonic numbers and reciprocal binomial coefficients, and some explicit evaluations are given as applications. The given representations are new.     

Irrationality of the sums of zeta values

In this paper, we establish a lower bound for the dimension of the vector spaces spanned over ? by 1 and the sums of the values of the Riemann zeta function at even and odd points. As a consequence, we obtain numerical results on the irrationality and linear independence of the sums of zeta values at even and odd points from a given interval of the positive integers.     

An Approximate Functional Equation for the Lerch Zeta Function

In this paper, we establish an approximate functional equation for the Lerch zeta function, which is a generalization of the Riemann zeta function and the Hurwitz zeta function.     

Parametric Euler sum identities

We consider some parametrized classes of multiple sums first studied by Euler. Identities between meromorphic functions of one or more variables in many cases account for reduction formulae for these sums.     

On the generalization of the Euler polynomials with the real parameters

In this study, we give multiplication formula for generalized Euler polynomials of order α and obtain some explicit recursive formulas. The multiple alternating sums with positive real parameters a and b are evaluated in terms of both generalized Euler and generalized Bernoulli polynomials of order α. Finally we obtained some interesting special cases.

The application of the Fast E-function Evaluation (FEE) method to fast calculation of the value of (3) and of some special integrals on the basis of the Ramanujan formula and its generalization is considered.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Some identities on the Bernoulli, Euler and Genocchi polynomials via power sums and alternate power sums

In this paper, by the generating function method, we establish various identities concerning the (higher order) Bernoulli polynomials, the (higher order) Euler polynomials, the Genocchi polynomials and the degenerate higher order Bernoulli polynomials. Particularly, some of these identities are also related to the power sums and alternate power sums. It can be found that, many well known results, especially the multiplication theorems, and some symmetric identities demonstrated recently, are special cases of our results.     

A multiplication theorem for the Lerch zeta function and explicit representations of the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials

A multiplication theorem for the Lerch zeta function ?(s,a,ξ) is obtained, from which, when evaluating at s=−n for integers n?0, explicit representations for the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials are derived in terms of two arrays of polynomials related to the classical Stirling and Eulerian numbers. As consequences, explicit formulas for some special values of the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials are given.     

Exponential sums formed with the Möbius function

Let $\mu \left(n\right)$ be the Möbius function and $x$ real. In this paper, we investigated the best possible estimates for the sum ${\sum }_{n\le x}\mu \left(n\right)e\left(n^k\theta \right)$ under the weak Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. A similar result also holds for the Liouville function $\lambda \left(n\right)$.     

On a sum involving the Euler totient function

In this short note, we prove that $\frac{4}{{\pi }^2}xlogx+O\left(x\right)?\sum _{n?x}\phi \left(\left[\frac{x}{n}\right]\right)?\left(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{4}{{\pi }^2}\right)xlogx+O\left(x\right),$ for $x\to \infty$, where $\phi \left(n\right)$ is the Euler totient function and $\left[t\right]$ is the integral part of real $t$. This improves recent results of Bordellès–Heyman–Shparlinski and of Dai–Pan.     

Special values of multiple polylogarithms

Historically, the polylogarithm has attracted specialists and non-specialists alike with its lovely evaluations. Much the same can be said for Euler sums (or multiple harmonic sums), which, within the past decade, have arisen in combinatorics, knot theory and high-energy physics. More recently, we have been forced to consider multidimensional extensions encompassing the classical polylogarithm, Euler sums, and the Riemann zeta function. Here, we provide a general framework within which previously isolated results can now be properly understood. Applying the theory developed herein, we prove several previously conjectured evaluations, including an intriguing conjecture of Don Zagier.

     

Explicit Evaluation of Euler and Related Sums

Ever since the time of Euler, the so-called Euler sums have been evaluated in many different ways. We give here a (presumably) new proof of the classical Euler sum. We show that several interesting analogues of the Euler sums can be evaluated by systematically analyzing some known summation formulas involving hypergeometric series. Many other identities related to the Euler sums are also presented. Research of the first author was supported by Korea Science and Engineering Foundation Grant R05-2003-10441-0.
