$1) δ (x) = \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 n)}^{x}} - \sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 n + 1)}^{x}}$ $= 2^{- x} ξ (x) - \sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 n + 1)}^{x}} b u t w e h a v e$ $ξ (x) = \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{x}} = \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 n)}^{x}} + \sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 n + 1)}^{x}}$ $= 2^{- x} ξ (x) + \sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 n + 1)}^{x}} \Rightarrow$ $\sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 n + 1)}^{x}} = (1 - 2^{- x}) ξ (x) \Rightarrow$ $δ (x) = 2^{- x} ξ (x) - (1 - 2^{- x}) ξ (x)$ $= (2^{1 - x} - 1) ξ (x)$ $2) δ (1) = \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{{(- 1)}^{n}}{n} = - l n (2)$ $3) w e h a v e \sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 n + 1)}^{2}} = (1 - 2^{- 1}) ξ (2)$ $= \frac{3}{4} \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{2}} = \frac{3}{4} \frac{π^{2}}{6} = \frac{π^{2}}{8}$ $\sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{{(2 n + 1)}^{2}} = \frac{π^{2}}{8} .$ $4) δ (3) = (2^{1 - 3} - 1) ξ (3) = (\frac{1}{4} - 1) ξ (3)$ $= - \frac{3}{4} ξ (3) \Rightarrow$ $\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{{(- 1)}^{n}}{n^{3}} = - \frac{3}{4} \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{3}} .$
