We present one-parameter series representations for the following series involving the Riemann zeta function ??n=3 n odd ?(n)/n sn and ??n=2 n even ?(n) n sn and we apply our results to obtain new representations for some mathematical constants such as the Euler (or Euler-Mascheroni) constant, the Catalan constant, log 2, ?(3) and ?.

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 purpose of this paper is to present closed forms for various types of infinite seriesinvolving Fibonacci (Lucas) numbers and the Riemann zeta function at integer arguments.To prove our results, we will apply some conventional arguments and combine the Binet formulasfor these sequences with generating functions involving the Riemann zeta function and some known series evaluations.Among the results derived in this paper, we will establish that $\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^\infty (\zeta(2k+1)-1) F_{2k} = \frac{1}{2},\quad\sum_{k=1}^\infty (\zeta(2k+1)-1) \frac{L_{2k+1}}{2k+1} = 1-\gamma,$ where $\gamma$ is the familiar Euler-Mascheroni constant.

Abstract We prove a new generalization of Davenport's Fourier expansion of the infinite series involving the fractional part function over arithmetic functions. A new Mellin transform related to the Riemann zeta function is also established.

We derive the following globally convergent series for the Riemann zeta function and the Dirichlet beta function$$\zeta(s)=\frac{1}{2^{s}-2}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{2^{2k+1}}\binom{2k+1}{k+1}\sum_{m=0}^{k}\binom{k}{m}\frac{(-1)^{m}}{(m+1)^{s}} \qquad \mbox{(where $s \neq 1+\frac{2\pi i n}{\ln 2}$)},$$$$\beta(s)=\frac{1}{4^{s}}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(k+1)!}\left(\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{(k+1)}-\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{(k+1)}\right)\sum_{m=0}^{k}\binom{k}{m}\frac{(-1)^{m}}{(m+1)^{s}}$$using a globally convergent series for the polylogarithm function, and integrals representing the Riemann zeta function and the Dirichlet beta function. To the best of our knowledge, these series representations are new. Additionally, we give another proof of Hasse's series representation for the Riemann zeta function.

Abstract We prove that the integer part of the reciprocal of the tail of $\zeta (s)$ ζ ( s ) at a rational number $s=\frac{1}{p}$ s = 1 p for any integer with $p \geq 5$ p ≥ 5 or $s=\frac{2}{p}$ s = 2 p for any odd integer with $p \geq 5$ p ≥ 5 can be described essentially as the integer part of an explicit quantity corresponding to it. To deal with the case when $s=\frac{2}{p}$ s = 2 p , we use a result on the finiteness of integral points of certain curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ Q .
