Let ζ(s) = σn-s(Res >1) denote the Riemann zeta function; then, as is well known,, whereBmdenotes themth Bernoulli number, In this paper we investigate the possibility of similar evaluations of the Epstein zeta function ζq(s) at the rational integerss = k> 2. Letbe a positive definite quadratic form andwhere the summation is over all pairs of integers except (0, 0). In attempting to evaluate ζq(k) we are guided by Kronecker's first limit formula [11]where γ is Euler's constant,is the Dedekind eta-function, and τ is the complex number in the upper half plane, ℋ, associated with Q by the formulaOn the basis of (1.3) we would expect a formula involving functions of τ. This formula is stated in Theorem 1, (2.13).

This paper concludes the study of fitting polynomials by Least Squares, treated in two previous papers. The problem being concerned with the minimum of a positive definite quadratic form, it makes for conciseness to use matrix notation. We shall therefore adopt the following conventions :—The n values of the variable x, of the data u0, u1, …, un−1, of certain polynomials qr(x) entering into the solution, and so on, will be regarded compositely as vectors. They will be imagined as having their components or elements disposed in column array, but when written in full will be written horizontally, to save space, enclosed by curled brackets. Row vectors, when written out in full, will be enclosed by square brackets. In the shorter notation we shall write, for example, u, x for column vectors, u′, x′ for the row vectors obtained by transposition. The vectors occurring in the problem will be the following:—

Apéry's constant is the value of ζ (3) where ζ is the Riemann zeta function. ThusThis constant arises in certain mathematical and physical contexts (in physics for example ζ (3) arises naturally in the computation of the electron's gyromagnetic ratio using quantum electrodynamics) and has attracted a great deal of interest, not least the fact that it was proved to be irrational by the French mathematician Roger é and named after him. See [1,2].Numerous series representations have been obtained for ζ (3) many of which are rather complicated [3]. é used one such series in his irrationality proof. It is not known whether ζ (3) is transcendental, a question whose resolution might be helped by a study of an appropriate series representation of ζ (3).

The generalised zeta-function ζ(s, α) is defined bywhere α>0 and Res>l. Clearly, ζ(s, 1)=, where ζ(s) denotes the Riemann zeta-function. In this paper we consider a general class of Dirichlet series satisfying a functional equation similar to that of ζ(s). If ø(s) is such a series, we analogously define ø(s, α). We shall derive a representation for ø(s, α) which will be valid in the entire complex s-plane. From this representation we determine some simple properties of ø(s, α).
