On Dirichlet's lambda functions (1806.07762v4)

Published 20 Jun 2018 in math.NT and math.CA

Abstract: Let $$\lambda(s)=\sum_{n=0}\infty\frac1{(2n+1)s},$$ $$\beta(s)=\sum_{n=0}\infty\frac{(-1){n}}{(2n+1)s},$$ and $$\eta(s)=\sum_{n=1}\infty\frac{(-1){n-1}}{ns}$$ be the Dirichlet lambda function, its alternating form, and the Dirichlet eta function, respectively. According to a recent historical book by Varadarajan (\cite[p.~70]{Varadarajan}), these three functions were investigated by Euler under the notations $N(s)$, $L(s)$, and $M(s)$, respectively. In this paper, we shall present some additional properties for them. That is, we obtain a number of infinite families of linear recurrence relations for $\lambda(s)$ at positive even integer arguments $\lambda(2m)$, convolution identities for special values of $\lambda(s)$ at even arguments and special values of $\beta(s)$ at odd arguments, and a power series expansion for the alternating Hurwitz zeta function $J(s,a)$, which involves a known one for $\eta(s)$.
