Hurwitz Zeta Function - Hurwitz's Formula

Hurwitz's Formula

Hurwitz's formula is the theorem that

where

\beta(x;s)= 2\Gamma(s+1)\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac {\exp(2\pi inx) } {(2\pi n)^s}= \frac{2\Gamma(s+1)}{(2\pi)^s} \mbox{Li}_s (e^{2\pi ix})

is a representation of the zeta that is valid for and s > 1. Here, is the polylogarithm.

Famous quotes containing the word formula:

    “Given for one instant an intelligence which could comprehend all the forces by which nature is animated and the respective positions of the beings which compose it, if moreover this intelligence were vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in the same formula both the movements of the largest bodies in the universe and those of the lightest atom; to it nothing would be uncertain, and the future as the past would be present to its eyes.”
    —Pierre Simon De Laplace (1749–1827)
