Question Number 2702 by Filup last updated on 25/Nov/15

ζ(s)=Σ_(i=1) ^∞ i^(−s) =1+(1/2^s )+(1/3^s )+... Is ζ(s)>0∀s∈R? 1. Can you prove, or prove otherwise? 2. If ζ(s)>n, s∈R, what are the bounds of s? i.e. a≤s≤b : ζ(s)>n

$$\zeta\left({s}\right)=\underset{{i}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}{i}^{−{s}} =\mathrm{1}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}^{{s}} }+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}^{{s}} }+... \\ $$ $$ \\ $$ $$\mathrm{Is}\:\zeta\left({s}\right)>\mathrm{0}\forall{s}\in\mathbb{R}? \\ $$ $$\mathrm{1}.\:\mathrm{Can}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{prove},\:\mathrm{or}\:\mathrm{prove}\:\mathrm{otherwise}? \\ $$ $$\mathrm{2}.\:\mathrm{If}\:\zeta\left({s}\right)>{n},\:{s}\in\mathbb{R},\:\mathrm{what}\:\mathrm{are}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{bounds} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{of}\:{s}?\:\mathrm{i}.\mathrm{e}.\:\:{a}\leqslant{s}\leqslant{b}\::\:\zeta\left({s}\right)>{n} \\ $$

i have actually solved that about a week ago. ill post it later I have work now i′ll make a new post later with the proof

Feel free to express ζ(s) in other froms of notation (such as in terms of Γ and integral notation)

ζ(s) converges only for s>1. For example s=−2 1+2^2 +3^2 +.. is divergent.

$$\zeta\left({s}\right)\:\mathrm{converges}\:\mathrm{only}\:\mathrm{for}\:{s}>\mathrm{1}. \\ $$ $$\mathrm{For}\:\mathrm{example} \\ $$ $${s}=−\mathrm{2} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}} +..\:\mathrm{is}\:{divergent}. \\ $$ $$ \\ $$

however by some ways you still can give a value to it, like S=1+2+4+∙∙∙ wich diverge but S=1+2(1+2+∙∙∙) S=1+2S S=−1=(1/(1−2)) this is called analytic continuation its are crazy, but cool

Filup has posted some question earlier as well related to that. Σ_(i=1) ^∞ i=((−1)/(12)) or ζ(−1)=((−1)/(12)) I will read more to see what are the possibilities for ζ function, for example ζ(−2)=Σ_(i=1) ^∞ i^2

there a functional equation to achive it by this you get ζ(−2n)=0 n∈N^∗ the functional equation is ζ(s)=2^s π^(s−1) sin (((πs)/2))Γ(1−s)ζ(1−s) its crazy, but cool

I was incorrect. I have not done the proof I said I did. I mistakenly mixed it up with something else. If someone could make a post on how ζ(−2n)=0, that′d be awsome

in general ζ(s)≥1,s>1,s∈R later i add the answer its follow a similiar ideia than proof that lim_(n→+∞) H_n −ln n=γ
