Hurwitz Zeta Function - Hurwitz's Formula

Hurwitz's Formula

Hurwitz's formula is the theorem that

where

\beta(x;s)= 2\Gamma(s+1)\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac {\exp(2\pi inx) } {(2\pi n)^s}= \frac{2\Gamma(s+1)}{(2\pi)^s} \mbox{Li}_s (e^{2\pi ix})

is a representation of the zeta that is valid for and s > 1. Here, is the polylogarithm.

Famous quotes containing the word formula:

    “Beauty, like all other qualities presented to human experience, is relative; and the definition of it becomes unmeaning and useless in proportion to its abstractness. To define beauty not in the most abstract, but in the most concrete terms possible, not to find a universal formula for it, but the formula which expresses most adequately this or that special manifestation of it, is the aim of the true student of aesthetics.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)
