Euler's proof of $\frac{\pi}{6}=1-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{6}-\cdots$
Euler proved
$$\frac{\pi}{6}=1-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{6}-\cdots$$
where the reasoning of the signs thus is prepared, so that of the second may be had as $-$, prime ...

Convergence of the series involving Mobius functions $\sum_{k,d} \mu(d) x_{kd}$
(I originally asked this question here, but the problem appears much more difficult than I think after a moment of thought, so I think it might be more suitable to post it here. Please tell me if this ...

Can one show that $|\zeta'(x) / \zeta^2(x)| \leq 1/(x-.5)$ for $x\in\mathbb{R}\cap [1,\infty)$?
I have found that $\left|\frac{\zeta'(x)}{\zeta^2(x)}\right|\leq \frac{1}{x-\frac{1}{2}}$ for all real $x$ such that $x>1$ seems to be true. I have plotted the inequality and got this inequality ...

Can one show $h(x)=|2(\zeta'(x))^2-\zeta''(x)\zeta(x)|$ is a decreasing function for $x\in\mathbb{R}\cap [1,\infty)$?
This question is related to This question.
When I tried to approach it I couldn't even proof that the LHS is a decreasing function on the given domain using regular methods. I have tried to write the ...

Can one show $\left|\frac{2(\zeta'(x))^2-\zeta''(x)\zeta(x)}{\zeta^3(x)}\right|\leq \frac{2}{(x-\frac{1}{2})^2}$ for $x\in\mathbb{R}\cap [1,\infty)$?
I have found that $\left|\frac{2(\zeta'(x))^2-\zeta''(x)\zeta(x)}{\zeta^3(x)}\right|\leq \frac{2}{(x-\frac{1}{2})^2}$ for all real $x$ such that $x>1$ seems to be true. I have plotted the ...
