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:

    “He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
    —Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    “... 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)
