The Hurwitz zeta function is defined for $\mathrm{Re}(s)>1$, $$\zeta(s,a)= \displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{(n+a)^s}.$$

Properties

Theorem

The following formula holds: $$B_n(x)=-n \zeta(1-n,x),$$ where $B_n$ denotes the Bernoulli polynomial and $\zeta$ denotes the Hurwitz zeta function.

Theorem

The following formula holds: $$K=\dfrac{\pi}{24} -\dfrac{\pi}{2}\log(A)+4\pi \zeta' \left(-1 , \dfrac{1}{4} \right),$$ where $K$ is Catalan's constant, $A$ is the Glaisher–Kinkelin constant, and $\zeta'$ denotes the partial derivative of the Hurwitz zeta function with respect to the first argument.
