Hurwitz Zeta Function - Special Cases and Generalizations

Special Cases and Generalizations

The Hurwitz zeta function with non-negative integer m is related to the polygamma function:

For negative integer −n the values are related to the Bernoulli polynomials:

The Barnes zeta function generalizes the Hurwitz zeta function.

The Lerch transcendent generalizes the Hurwitz zeta:

\Phi(z, s, q) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac { z^k} {(k+q)^s}

and thus

Hypergeometric function

where

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or cases:

    “We defy augury. There’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, ‘tis not to come. If it be not to come, it will be now. If it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “After all, the practical reason why, when the power is once in the hands of the people, a majority are permitted, and for a long period continue, to rule is not because they are most likely to be in the right, nor because this seems fairest to the minority, but because they are physically the strongest. But a government in which the majority rule in all cases cannot be based on justice, even as far as men understand it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
