Clausen Function - Series Acceleration

Series Acceleration

A series acceleration for the Clausen function is given by

$\frac{\operatorname{Cl}_2(\theta)}{\theta} = 1-\log|\theta| + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\zeta(2n)}{n(2n+1)} \left(\frac{\theta}{2\pi}\right)^{2n}$

which holds for . Here, is the Riemann zeta function. A more rapidly convergent form is given by

$\frac{\operatorname{Cl}_2(\theta)}{\theta} = 3-\log\left -\frac{2\pi}{\theta} \log \left( \frac{2\pi+\theta}{2\pi-\theta}\right) +\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\zeta(2n)-1}{n(2n+1)} \left(\frac{\theta}{2\pi}\right)^n$

Convergence is aided by the fact that approaches zero rapidly for large values of n. Both forms are obtainable through the types of resummation techniques used to obtain rational zeta series. (ref. Borwein, etal. 2000, below).

Famous quotes containing the word series:

“As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
