Simple closed forms for sums such as $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{k+1}}{qk - p}$ and related integrals

My goal here is to get a simple expression for $\zeta(3)$. This is a follow up to my previous question posted here. Any Taylor-like expansion from everything I tried won't make it. So this is my last ...

Original examples of functions of slow increase in the spirit of Jakimczuk

I believe that it is possible to prove that $$f(x)=e^{\operatorname{Ai}(x)}\log x$$ is a function of slow increase in the spirit of the definition given by the author of [1], where $\operatorname{Ai}(...

Recurrence involving families of orthogonal polynomials

Let $ \forall n \in N, n\geq 1$ $$ R_n(x)=(-1)^n n! \displaystyle \frac{(x-1)...(x-n)}{(x(x+1)..(x+n))^2}$$ thus by decomposition in simple element it's easy to see that $$ (1): \quad R_n(x)= \...

Double Series involving Gamma function

Does anyone have any ideas on howto verify $$\sum_{n,m=0}^\infty \frac{\Gamma(n+m+3x)}{\Gamma(n+1+x)\Gamma(m+1+x)}\cdot \frac{1}{3^{n+m+3x-1}} = \Gamma(x)$$ for $x>0$? I posted this question also ...

Understand the properties of this function

We define a function $f(t):=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}e^{-nt}= \frac{1}{1-e^{-t}}= \frac{e^{\frac{t}{2}}}{e^{\frac{t}{2}}-e^{-\frac{t}{2}}}=\frac{2e^{\frac{t}{2}}}{\sinh\left(\frac{t}{2} \right)}$ observe ...

How to show monotonocity and the limit? [closed]

Let me reformulate my recent question. Let $n, N$ denote density and cdf of Gaussian distribution. Let us consider its modification, given by density: $$\phi(x) = C\left\{ \begin{array}{lcc} \sqrt{...

Asymptotic behavior of a sequence of functions

For $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $q\in(0,1)$, define $$f_{n}(q):=\sum_{i_{1},i_{2},\dots,i_{n}=1}^{\infty}\frac{q^{i_1+i_2+\dots+i_n}}{(1-q^{i_1+i_2})(1-q^{i_2+i_3})\dots(1-q^{i_{n-1}+i_n})(1-q^{i_n+i_1})}.$$ ...

Has anyone seen this series?

I come across the following infinite series. $$ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{t^n}{n!\: n^{a}}, \quad\text{for $t>0$ and $a>0$}. $$ In particular, I am interested in the case where $a=1/4$. ...
