HurwitzZeta

HurwitzZeta
gives the Hurwitz zeta function .
MORE INFORMATION
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • The Hurwitz zeta function is defined as an analytic continuation of .
  • HurwitzZeta has branch cut discontinuities in the complex plane running from to .
  • For certain special arguments, HurwitzZeta automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • HurwitzZeta can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
