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:

    “Men have defined the parameters of every subject. All feminist arguments, however radical in intent or consequence, are with or against assertions or premises implicit in the male system, which is made credible or authentic by the power of men to name.”
    —Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)

    “I say you must not win an unjust case by oaths.”
    —Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
