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:

“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
