Some Series and Integrals Involving the Riemann Zeta Function, Binomial Coefficients and the Harmonic Numbers Some series and integrals involving the Riemann zeta function, binomial coefficients and the harmonic numbers Volume I Donal F. Connon 18 February 2008 Abstract In this series of seven papers, predominantly by means of elementary analysis, we establish a number of identities related to the Riemann zeta function, including the following: ∞ 1 n bb⎛⎞n p()cos2xkxdxpxdx= () ∑∑n ∫∫⎜⎟ nk==002 aa⎝⎠k ∞ 1 n bb⎛⎞n p()sin2xkxdxpxxdx= ()cot ∑∑n ∫∫⎜⎟ nk==112 aa⎝⎠k ∞ bb ∑∫∫p()cosxn x cos nx dx= p () x dx n=0 aa ∞ bb ∑∫∫p()cosxn x sin nx dx= p ()cot x x dx n=0 aa ∞ n ⎛⎞n xk 1 ⎛⎞xt tLin ∑∑⎜⎟s = s ⎜⎟ nk==11⎝⎠k kt11− ⎝⎠− t 11∞ ∞ 1(1)n ⎛⎞n − k+1 (3) ()HH(1) 2 (2) ς a = ∑ n { nn+ } = ∑∑n ⎜⎟ 2 22n=1 n nk==01nk2 ⎝⎠k ∞ ∞ n k +1 1 ⎧⎫113 1 1(1)⎛⎞n − (4) HHHH(1) (1) (2) (3) ς a = ∑ n ⎨⎬()nnnn++= ∑∑n ⎜⎟ 3 n=1 n2 ⎩⎭62 3nk==11nk2 ⎝⎠k ∞ 1 42 2 ς (5) = HHHHHHH(1) ++++6836(1) (2) (1) (3) (2) (4) a ∑ n {()()nnnnnnn() } n=1 n2 where p()x is a suitably behaved continuously differentiable function and ς a (s ) is the alternating Riemann zeta function. Whilst this paper is mainly expository, some of the formulae reported in it are believed to be new, and the paper may also be of interest specifically due to the fact that most of the various identities have been derived by elementary methods.

Example 2: Find a formula for sn, n ≥ 1, given that its first five terms are 0; 2; 6; 14; 30. Some sequences are defined recursively. For instance, sn = 2 sn−1 + 3, n > 1, with s1 = 1. If lim sn = L, where L is a number, we say that the sequence n!1 (sn) converges to L. If such a limit does not exist or if L = ±∞, one says that the sequence diverges.

  • Conjugate Trigonometric Integrals! by R
    SOME THEOREMS ON FOURIER TRANSFORMS AND CONJUGATE TRIGONOMETRIC INTEGRALS! BY R. P. BOAS, JR. 1. Introduction. Functions whose Fourier transforms vanish for large val- ues of the argument have been studied by Paley and Wiener.f It is natural, then, to ask what properties are possessed by functions whose Fourier trans- forms vanish over a finite interval. The two classes of functions are evidently closely related, since a function whose Fourier transform vanishes on ( —A, A) is the difference of two suitably chosen functions, one of which has its Fourier transform vanishing outside (—A, A). In this paper, however, we obtain, for a function having a Fourier transform vanishing over a finite interval, a criterion which does not seem to be trivially related to known results. It is stated in terms of a transform which is closely related to the Hilbert trans- form, and which may be written in the simplest (and probably most interest- ing) case, 1 C" /(* + *) - fix - 0 (1) /*(*) = —- sin t dt.

  • Topic 7 Notes 7 Taylor and Laurent Series
    Topic 7 Notes Jeremy Orloff 7 Taylor and Laurent series 7.1 Introduction We originally defined an analytic function as one where the derivative, defined as a limit of ratios, existed. We went on to prove Cauchy's theorem and Cauchy's integral formula. These revealed some deep properties of analytic functions, e.g. the existence of derivatives of all orders. Our goal in this topic is to express analytic functions as infinite power series. This will lead us to Taylor series. When a complex function has an isolated singularity at a point we will replace Taylor series by Laurent series. Not surprisingly we will derive these series from Cauchy's integral formula. Although we come to power series representations after exploring other properties of analytic functions, they will be one of our main tools in understanding and computing with analytic functions. 7.2 Geometric series Having a detailed understanding of geometric series will enable us to use Cauchy's integral formula to understand power series representations of analytic functions. We start with the definition: Definition. A finite geometric series has one of the following (all equivalent) forms. 2 3 n Sn = a(1 + r + r + r + ::: + r ) = a + ar + ar2 + ar3 + ::: + arn n X = arj j=0 n X = a rj j=0 The number r is called the ratio of the geometric series because it is the ratio of consecutive terms of the series. Theorem. The sum of a finite geometric series is given by a(1 − rn+1) S = a(1 + r + r2 + r3 + ::: + rn) = : (1) n 1 − r Proof.

  • 3.3 Convergence Tests for Infinite Series
    3.3 Convergence Tests for Infinite Series 3.3.1 The integral test We may plot the sequence an in the Cartesian plane, with independent variable n and dependent variable a: n X The sum an can then be represented geometrically as the area of a collection of rectangles with n=1 height an and width 1. This geometric viewpoint suggests that we compare this sum to an integral. If an can be represented as a continuous function of n, for real numbers n, not just integers, and if the m X sequence an is decreasing, then an looks a bit like area under the curve a = a(n). n=1 In particular, m m+2 X Z m+1 X an > an dn > an n=1 n=1 n=2 For example, let us examine the first 10 terms of the harmonic series 10 X 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 1 + + + + + + + + + : n 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 1 1 If we draw the curve y = x (or a = n ) we see that 10 11 10 X 1 Z 11 dx X 1 X 1 1 > > = − 1 + : n x n n 11 1 1 2 1 (See Figure 1, copied from Wikipedia) Z 11 dx Now = ln(11) − ln(1) = ln(11) so 1 x 10 X 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 1 + + + + + + + + + > ln(11) n 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 and 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 + + + + + + + + + < ln(11) + (1 − ): 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Z dx So we may bound our series, above and below, with some version of the integral : x If we allow the sum to turn into an infinite series, we turn the integral into an improper integral.

  • Mathematics 136 – Calculus 2 Summary of Trigonometric Substitutions October 17 and 18, 2016
    Mathematics 136 – Calculus 2 Summary of Trigonometric Substitutions October 17 and 18, 2016 The trigonometric substitution method handles many integrals containing expressions like a2 x2, x2 + a2, x2 a2 p − p p − (possibly including expressions without the square roots!) The basis for this approach is the trigonometric identities 1 = sin2 θ + cos2 θ sec2 θ = tan2 θ +1. ⇒ from which we derive other related identities: a2 (a sin θ)2 = a2(1 sin2 θ) = √a2 cos2 θ = a cos θ p − q − (a tan θ)2 + a2 = a2(tan2 θ +1) = √a2 sec2 θ = a sec θ p q (a sec θ)2 a2 = a2(sec2 θ 1) = a2 tan2 θ = a tan θ p − p − p (Technical note: We usually assume that a > 0 and 0 <θ<π/2 here so that all the trig functions take positive values.) Hence, 1. If our integral contains √a2 x2, the substitution x = a sin θ will convert this radical to the simpler form a cos θ. − 2. If our integral contains √x2 + a2, the substitution x = a tan θ will convert this radical to the simpler form a sec θ. 3. If our integral contains √x2 a2, the substitution x = a sec θ will convert this radical to the simpler form a tan θ. − We substitute for the rest of the integral including the dx. For instance if x = a sin θ, then the dx = a cos θ dθ. If x = a tan θ, then dx = a sec2 θ dθ. If x = a sec θ, then dx = a sec θ tan θ dθ.

  • Six Ways to Sum a Series Dan Kalman
    Six Ways to Sum a Series Dan Kalman The College Mathematics Journal, November 1993, Volume 24, Number 5, pp. 402–421. Dan Kalman This fall I have joined the mathematics faculty at American University, Washington D. C. Prior to that I spent 8 years at the Aerospace Corporation in Los Angeles, where I worked on simulations of space systems and kept in touch with mathematics through the programs and publications of the MAA. At a national meeting I heard the presentation by Zagier referred to in the article. Convinced that this ingenious proof should be more widely known, I presented it at a meeting of the Southern California MAA section. Some enthusiastic members of the audience then shared their favorite proofs and references with me. These led to more articles and proofs, and brought me into contact with a realm of mathematics I never guessed existed. This paper is the result. he concept of an infinite sum is mysterious and intriguing. How can you add up an infinite number of terms? Yet, in some contexts, we are led to the Tcontemplation of an infinite sum quite naturally. For example, consider the calculation of a decimal expansion for 1y3. The long division algorithm generates an endlessly repeating sequence of steps, each of which adds one more 3 to the decimal expansion. We imagine the answer therefore to be an endless string of 3’s, which we write 0.333. .. In essence we are defining the decimal expansion of 1y3 as an infinite sum 1y3 5 0.3 1 0.03 1 0.003 1 0.0003 1 .

  • 3.2 Introduction to Infinite Series
    3.2 Introduction to Infinite Series Many of our infinite sequences, for the remainder of the course, will be defined by sums. For example, the sequence m X 1 S := : (1) m 2n n=1 is defined by a sum. Its terms (partial sums) are 1 ; 2 1 1 3 + = ; 2 4 4 1 1 1 7 + + = ; 2 4 8 8 1 1 1 1 15 + + + = ; 2 4 8 16 16 ::: These infinite sequences defined by sums are called infinite series. Review of sigma notation The Greek letter Σ used in this notation indicates that we are adding (\summing") elements of a certain pattern. (We used this notation back in Calculus 1, when we first looked at integrals.) Here our sums may be “infinite”; when this occurs, we are really looking at a limit. Resources An introduction to sequences a standard part of single variable calculus. It is covered in every calculus textbook. For example, one might look at * section 11.3 (Integral test), 11.4, (Comparison tests) , 11.5 (Ratio & Root tests), 11.6 (Alternating, abs. conv & cond. conv) in Calculus, Early Transcendentals (11th ed., 2006) by Thomas, Weir, Hass, Giordano (Pearson) * section 11.3 (Integral test), 11.4, (comparison tests), 11.5 (alternating series), 11.6, (Absolute conv, ratio and root), 11.7 (summary) in Calculus, Early Transcendentals (6th ed., 2008) by Stewart (Cengage) * sections 8.3 (Integral), 8.4 (Comparison), 8.5 (alternating), 8.6, Absolute conv, ratio and root, in Calculus, Early Transcendentals (1st ed., 2011) by Tan (Cengage) Integral tests, comparison tests, ratio & root tests.
