Hurwitz Zeta Function - Special Cases and Generalizations

Special Cases and Generalizations

The Hurwitz zeta function with non-negative integer m is related to the polygamma function:

For negative integer −n the values are related to the Bernoulli polynomials:

The Barnes zeta function generalizes the Hurwitz zeta function.

The Lerch transcendent generalizes the Hurwitz zeta:

\Phi(z, s, q) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty
\frac { z^k} {(k+q)^s}

and thus

Hypergeometric function

where

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or cases:

    The books may say that nine-month-olds crawl, say their first words, and are afraid of strangers. Your exuberantly concrete and special nine-month-old hasn’t read them. She may be walking already, not saying a word and smiling gleefully at every stranger she sees. . . . You can support her best by helping her learn what she’s trying to learn, not what the books say a typical child ought to be learning.
    Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)

    ... and the next summer she died in childbirth.
    That’s all. Of course, there may be some sort of sequel but it is not known to me. In such cases instead of getting bogged down in guesswork, I repeat the words of the merry king in my favorite fairy tale: Which arrow flies for ever? The arrow that has hit its mark.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
