Hurwitz Zeta Function - Taylor Series

Taylor Series

The derivative of the zeta in the second argument is a shift:

Thus, the Taylor series has the distinctly umbral form:

\zeta(s,x+y) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac {y^k} {k!} \frac {\partial^k} {\partial x^k} \zeta (s,x) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty {s+k-1 \choose s-1} (-y)^k \zeta (s+k,x).

Closely related is the Stark–Keiper formula:

\zeta(s,N) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \left {s+k-1 \choose s-1} (-1)^k \zeta (s+k,N)

which holds for integer N and arbitrary s. See also Faulhaber's formula for a similar relation on finite sums of powers of integers.

Famous quotes containing the words taylor and/or series:

    “The three great ends which a statesman ought to propose to himself in the government of a nation, are,—1. Security to possessors; 2. Facility to acquirers; and, 3. Hope to all.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
    —Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
