for questions about sequences and series, e.g. convergence, closed form expressions, etc. Note that there is a different tag for spectral sequences, and also note that MathOverflow is not for homework. Please consider consulting the online encyclopedia for integer sequences, if you are trying to identify a given sequence that you have found in your research.

If the generating function summation and zeta regularized sum of a divergent series exist, d...
One could assign a value to divergent series by means of several summation methods. One summation method we could consider is the generating function method. Let's sum, for example, the fibonacci seri …

I wonder whether there are any references on infinite series involving the tetration operator, including:
\begin{align} S_{1} &:= \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{ {^{n}2} } \\
&= \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2 …

What is known about sums of the form $\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}[\zeta(n)-1]^{p} $?
A fair bit is known about rational zeta series. This includes identities like $$ \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} [\zeta(n) -1] = 1 . $$
Many more identities can be found in articles by e.g. Borwein and Adamchik & …

In equations (20) - (25) of Mathworld's article on binomial sums, identities are given for sums of the form $$\sum_{k=0}^{n} k^{p}{n \choose k}, $$ with $p \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$. I wonder whether i …

Do generalizations of the identity $\sum_{n=k+2}^{\infty} \binom{n-1}{k} (\zeta(n) -1) = 1 $...
On p. 263 of Borwein's paper entitled “Computational Strategies for the Riemann zeta function”, the following identity is stated: $$\sum_{n=k+2}^{\infty} \binom{n-1}{k} (\zeta(n) -1) =1 . \qquad \qqua …

Is there a residue sum formula in quaternionic analysis?
In complex analysis, there is a formula involving the residues of complex functions that one can employ to find the value of certain infinite series.
If the function $f: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C} $ sa …

Has the "partial Sophomore's Dream function" been studied before?
We can consider the generalized Harmonic numbers $$H_{n,m} := \sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{k^{m}} $$ as a partial version of the Riemann zeta function, because $$\lim_{n \to \infty} H_{n,m} = \zeta(m). $$

Are there any extensive treatments on rational zeta series?
I've been trying to find an extensive, in-depth treatment of rational zeta series. Via the Wikipedia article on the topic, I've found two articles on this subject. While they are certainly very inform …

A question on an identity relating certain sums of Harmonic numbers
In the description of this question, it was established that \begin{align} \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} (\zeta(n)^{2}-1) &=
\frac{7}{4} - \zeta(2) + 2 \sum_{m=1}^{\infty} \frac{H_{m-1- \frac{1}{m}} - H_{- \f …

While examining the product of two upper triangular matrices, I've found that the $(m,n)$'th entry of the resulting matrix amounts to: $$\sum_{k=m+1}^{n+1} \binom{k}{m} \binom{n+1}{k-1} $$ when $n \ge …

The Euler–Maclaurin summation formula is as follows: $$\sum_{i=m}^{n} f(i) = \int_{m}^{n} f(x) dx + \frac{f(n)+f(m)}{2} + \sum_{k=1}^{\lfloor p/2 \rfloor} \frac{B_{2k}}{(2k)!}\big{(}f^{(2k-1)}(n)-f^{( …

Rational zeta series and differential-difference equations
In an earlier question, I mentioned I was looking for generalizations of $$\sum_{n=k+2}^{\infty} \binom{n-1}{k} (\zeta(n) -1) =1. \qquad \qquad (1) $$
A variation of the above identity arises by cons …

It has been discovered long ago that
$$\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \big(\zeta(n) - 1\big) = 1. \label{1} \tag{1} $$ More recently, a generalization of this result with binomial coefficients has been obtained: …

What is the collection of series that amount to $\gamma$ deduced by Ramanujan?
On p. 20 of an article by Borwein et al., it is stated that Ramanujan could generalize the following formula due to Glaisher $$\gamma = 2 - 2\log2 -2\sum_{n=3, \text{ odd}} \frac{\zeta(n)-1}{n(n+1)} $ …
