Derivative of Dirichlet Eta function @ 1
Today we will evaluate the following infinite sum which corresponds to the derivative of Dirichlet eta function @ 1 As a bonus we will compute the following integral Lets first introduce a lemma: Lemma 1: (1) Proof: Claim: (2) If we let in (1) we get (3) Lets now recall the Euler Maclaurin Formula (proved here ) to estimate the last two sums above (4) Choosing and in (4), we get for the first sum : (5) And for the second sum (6) Recall also the integral representation of the Stiltjies constant (shown here ): (7) letting in (7) we obtain (8) Now, plugging (5) and (6) back in (3) and letting we obtain We can now use (2) to calculate the following integral Proof:
