Sums Involving the Hurwitz Zeta Function

We shall prove a general closed formula for integrals considered by Ramanujan, from which we derive our former results on sums involving Hurwitz zeta-function in terms not only of the derivatives of the Hurwitz zeta-function, but also of the multiple gamma function, thus covering all possible formulas in this direction. The transition from the derivatives of the Hurwitz zeta-function to the multiple gamma function and vice versa is proved to be effected essentially by the orthogonality relation of Stirling numbers.

New results on the Stieltjes constants: Asymptotic and exact evaluation

The Stieltjes constants γk(a) are the expansion coefficients in the Laurent series for the Hurwitz zeta function about s=1. We present new asymptotic, summatory, and other exact expressions for these and related constants.     

Product of Uniform Distribution and Stirling Numbers of the First Kind

Let Vk=u1u2……uk, ui＇s be i.i.d - U（0, 1）, the p.d.f of 1 - Vk＋l be the GF of the unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind s（n, k）. This paper discusses the applications of uniform distribution to combinatorial analysis and Riemann zeta function; several identities of Stifling series are established, and the Euler＇s result for ∑ Hn/n^k-l, k ≥ 3 is given a new probabilistic proof.     

The joint value-distribution of the Riemann zeta function and Hurwitz zeta functions

In this paper, we investigate the joint value-distribution for the Riemann zeta function and Hurwitz zeta function attached with a transcendental real parameter. Especially, we establish the joint universality theorem for these two zeta functions. Published in Lietuvos Matematikos Rinkinys, Vol. 47, No. 1, pp. 39–57, January–March, 2007.     

Series representations in the spirit of Ramanujan

Using an integral transform with a mild singularity, we obtain series representations valid for specific regions in the complex plane involving trigonometric functions and the central binomial coefficient which are analogues of the types of series representations first studied by Ramanujan over certain intervals on the real line. We then study an exponential type series rapidly converging to the special values of L-functions and the Riemann zeta function. In this way, a new series converging to Catalan?s constant with geometric rate of convergence less than a quarter is deduced. Further evaluations of some series involving hyperbolic functions are also given.     

On asymptotics of the q-exponential and q-gamma functions

In this work we present a derivation for the complete asymptotic expansions of Euler?s q-exponential function and Jackson?s q-gamma function via Mellin transform. These formulas are valid everywhere, uniformly on any compact subset of the complex plane.

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.

The generalization of Faulhaber's formula to sums of non-integral powers

A formula for the sum of any positive-integral power of the first N positive integers was published by Johann Faulhaber in the 1600s. In this paper, we generalize Faulhaber's formula to non-integral complex powers with real part greater than −1.     

A simplification of Laplace’s method: Applications to the Gamma function and Gauss hypergeometric function

The main difficulties in the Laplace’s method of asymptotic expansions of integrals are originated by a change of variables. We propose a variant of the method which avoids that change of variables and simplifies the computations. On the one hand, the calculation of the coefficients of the asymptotic expansion is remarkably simpler. On the other hand, the asymptotic sequence is as simple as in the standard Laplace’s method: inverse powers of the asymptotic variable. New asymptotic expansions of the Gamma function Γ(z) for large z and the Gauss hypergeometric function ₂F₁(a,b,c;z) for large b and c are given as illustrations. An explicit formula for the coefficients of the classical Stirling expansion of Γ(z) is also given.

The action of Hecke operators to families of Weierstrass-type functions and Weber-type functions and their applications

The aim of this paper is to study and discuss the action of the Hecke operators to not only the generalized the Weber-type functions, but also the kth derivative of the Weierstrass-type functions. Furthermore, relations related to the Weierstrass-type functions and Riemann zeta and theta function are found.     

Carlitz’s q-Bernoulli and q-Euler numbers and polynomials and a class of generalized q-Hurwitz zeta functions

In this paper, we systematically recover the identities for the q-eta numbers η_k and the q-eta polynomials η_k(x), presented by Carlitz [L. Carlitz, q-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials, Duke Math. J. 15 (1948) 987–1000], which we define here via generating series rather than via the difference equations of Carlitz. Following a method developed by Kaneko et al. [M. Kaneko, N. Kurokawa, M. Wakayama, A variation of Euler’s approach to the Riemann zeta function, Kyushu J. Math. 57 (2003) 175–192] for a canonical q-extension of the Riemann zeta function, we investigate a similarly constructed q-extension of the Hurwitz zeta function. The details of this investigation disclose some interesting connections among q-eta polynomials, Carlitz’s q-Bernoulli polynomials -polynomials, and the q-Bernoulli polynomials that emerge from the q-extension of the Hurwitz zeta function discussed here.
