Multiple Zeta Function - Two Parameters Case

Two Parameters Case

In the particular case of only two parameters we have (with s>1 and n,m integer):

where are the generalized harmonic numbers.

Multiple zeta functions are known to satisfy what is known as MZV duality, the simplest case of which is the famous identity of Euler:

\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{H_n}{(n+1)^2} = \zeta(2,1) = \zeta(3) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^3}, \!

where Hn are the harmonic numbers.

Special values of double zeta functions, with s > 0 and even, t > 1 and odd, but s+t=2N+1 (taking if necessary ζ(0) = 0):

\zeta(s,t)=\zeta(s)\zeta(t)+\tfrac{1}{2}\Big\zeta(s+t)-\sum_{r=1}^{N-1}\Big\zeta(2r+1)\zeta(s+t-1-2r)

Note that if we have irriducibles, i.e. these MZVs cannot be written as function of only.

Famous quotes containing the words parameters and/or case:

    “What our children have to fear is not the cars on the highways of tomorrow but our own pleasure in calculating the most elegant parameters of their deaths.”
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    “If someone does something we disapprove of, we regard him as bad if we believe we can deter him from persisting in his conduct, but we regard him as mad if we believe we cannot. In either case, the crucial issue is our control of the other: the more we lose control over him, and the more he assumes control over himself, the more, in case of conflict, we are likely to consider him mad rather than just bad.”
    —Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
