Solving a system of differential-like equations for reverse Euler-Maclaurin summation
Aim
A particular instance of a rational zeries that has as of yet not been evaluated is:
\begin{align}
Z:= \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\zeta(2n)}{(2n)!}. \label{EM1} \tag{EM1}
\end{align}
This sum ...

What rational zeta series with non-integer arguments appear in mathematics?
Background
Rational zeta series are series of the form $$\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} q_{n} \zeta(n + p, m), \label{1} \tag{1} $$ where $\zeta(x,m)$ is the Hurwitz zeta function and $q_{n}, \ p \in \mathbb{Q} \...

Finding $\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=2}^{n-2} \zeta(k) \zeta(n-k) x^{k-1} = x^{-1} - \psi_{0}(-x) - \gamma$ from the generating function of $\zeta(•)$
In equation (130) of this page, the identity $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=2}^{n-2} \zeta(k) \zeta(n-k) x^{k-1} = x^{-1} - \psi_{0}(-x) - \gamma \label{1} \tag{1} $$ is stated. Here, $\zeta(\cdot)$ is ...

Asymptotic for Ramanujan's $\tau$-function
The Ramanujan's $\tau$-function is defined by
$$q\prod_{n=1}^\infty (1-q^n)^{24}=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \tau (n)q^n$$
where $|q|\lt 1$.
Is there a known asymptotic formula for $\tau (n)$ or $|\tau (n)|$, i....

Curious infinite product, convergence, connection to prime numbers
I have been playing with the following function:
$$
f(x)=\frac{\pi x (1-x^2)}{\sin\pi x}\prod_{k=2}^\infty \frac{\sin(\pi x/k)}{\pi x/k}
$$
It is hard to get correct numerical values. I'll start with ...

turn $\pi/n$, move $1/n$ forward
start at the origin, first step number is 1.
turn $\pi/n$
move $1/n$ units forward
Angles are cumulative, so this procedure is equivalent (finitely)
to
$$
u(k):=\sum_{n=1}^{k} \frac{\exp(\pi i H_{n}...
