Rational Values
The Hurwitz zeta function occurs in a number of striking identities at rational values. In particular, values in terms of the Euler polynomials :
and
One also has
which holds for . Here, the and are defined by means of the Legendre chi function as
and
For integer values of ν, these may be expressed in terms of the Euler polynomials. These relations may be derived by employing the functional equation together with Hurwitz's formula, given above.

Famous quotes containing the words rational and/or values:
“Platowho may have understood better what forms the mind of man than do some of our contemporaries who want their children exposed only to real people and everyday eventsknew what intellectual experience made for true humanity. He suggested that the future citizens of his ideal republic begin their literary education with the telling of myths, rather than with mere facts or so-called rational teachings.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“The return to solid values is always hard.... Distress, panic, and hard times have marked our pathway in returning to solid values.”
—James A. Garfield (18311881)
