DirichletBeta

DirichletBeta[s]

gives the Dirichlet beta function TemplateBox[{s}, DirichletBeta].

Details

  • The Dirichlet beta function is also known as the Catalan beta function.
  • DirichletBeta is a mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numeric manipulation.
  • For , the Dirichlet beta function is defined as TemplateBox[{s}, DirichletBeta]=sum_(n=0)^infty((-1)^n)/((2 n+1)^s).
  • For certain special arguments, DirichletBeta automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • DirichletBeta is an entire function with branch cut discontinuities.
  • DirichletBeta can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
  • DirichletBeta automatically threads over lists.
