Relation To Dirichlet L-functions
At rational arguments the Hurwitz zeta function may be expressed as a linear combination of Dirichlet L-functions and vice versa: The Hurwitz zeta function coincides with Riemann's zeta function ζ(s) when q = 1, when q = 1/2 it is equal to (2s−1)ζ(s), and if q = n/k with k > 2, (n,k) > 1 and 0 < n < k, then
the sum running over all Dirichlet characters mod k. In the opposite direction we have the linear combination
There is also the multiplication theorem
of which a useful generalization is the distribution relation
(This last form is valid whenever q a natural number and 1 − qa is not.)

Famous quotes containing the words relation to and/or relation:
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We must get back into relation, vivid and nourishing relation to the cosmos and the universe. The way is through daily ritual, and is an affair of the individual and the household, a ritual of dawn and noon and sunset, the ritual of the kindling fire and pouring water, the ritual of the first breath, and the last.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
