analytic continuation of the series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{n^2}{\sqrt{a^2+n^2}}$
I would like to understand how to make sense of the following divergent series, or at least to identify the appropriate analytic continuation of its general term: \begin{align} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\...

On $\int_0^\infty\left[\frac{x^{s-1}}{e^x-1}-\frac{(e^x-1)^s}{(e^x-1)^2}\right]dx$
Calculate: $${\int\limits_0^\infty{\left[{\frac{x^{s-1}}{e^x-1}-\frac{(e^x-1)^{s}}{(e^x-1)^2}}\right]dx=}{\,\,\color{red}{?}}}\tag{1}$$ For $0\lt\Re(s)\lt1$. An integral definition of $\zeta(s)$ Zeta ...

How to extend this function into positive real numbers from natural numbers
So consider the following sum $$ H(n) = \sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{k} $$ If you consider this sum as a function of n, the domain of this function is natural numbers. However, the domain of this function ...

Ambiguity of the analytic continuation expression for the Beta function
The standard definition of the analytic-continuation of the Beta function by way of a Pochhammer contour integral is $$ (1-e^{2\pi i\alpha})(1-e^{2\pi i\beta})\text{Beta}(\alpha,\beta)=\int_{P} z^{\...

Can Analyticity Extend to the Boundary in Morera’s Theorem?
The following is one version of Morera's theorem from complex analysis, as presented by Theodore W. Gamelin. Theorem (Morera’s Theorem). Let $f(z)$ be a continuous function on a domain $D$ (defined as ...

Unique continuation for elliptic partial differential equation with C^1 coefficients: an elementary approach?
I am considering the following problem from an introductory course on elliptic PDE theory. 'Suppose that $\Omega$ is a domain in $\mathbb R^n$ (that is to say, a non-empty connected open subset of $\...

Using the analytic continuation of the Riemann zeta function to approximate some polynomial roots.
I am trying to use polynomial roots to approximate this ratio $R(p)$: $$R(p)=\Re\left(\frac{\underset{k\to \infty}{\text{lim}}\left(\left(H_k^{(s)}\right)^{1/p}+\left(\frac{k^{1-s}}{s-1}\right)^{1/p}\...

How do I analytically continue this function??
I recently discovered that the equation $$ \lim_{N\to\infty}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\pi^2}{n^{s-2}(2N+1)^2}\cot^2\left(\frac{n\pi}{2N+1}\right) $$ Converges to $\zeta(s)$ for $s>1$, I wonder if ...

Follow-up to "Can every real-analytic function be extended to one holomorphic outside a discrete subset of ℂ ? What about a meromorphic one?"
I don’t have enough reputation to comment, so I’m posting a follow-up to Can every real-analytic function be extended to one holomorphic outside a discrete subset of $\mathbb{C}$? What about a ...

How to extend a function in real axie to a meromorphic function in complex plane? [duplicate]
Background. In physics, experimental observables are often related to real-time or real-frequency Green’s functions, $G(t)$ or $G(\omega)$, which are (typically) real-analytic. Physicists often extend ...

Parametric Integral Analytic Solution
For this one loop integral, I have approached it using Feynman Parametrization, $$\int_{}^{}\frac{d^{d}k}{(2\pi)^{d}}\frac{1}{(k^{2}+m_{1}^{2})[(k-q)^{2}+m_{2}^{2}]}$$ The parametric integral that I ...

Monodromy group of the differential equation $x^2f''(x)-f(x)=0$
I am trying to understand the computation of the monodromy group of the differential equation given by $$x^2f''(x)-f(x)=0.$$ The differential equation has one singular point in $\mathbb C$, namely, $0$...

Why must the monodromy constant satisfy $e^C=1$ in the exponential proof of the removable singularity theorem for harmonic functions?
I'm remember seeing a proof in my first complex analysis course that bounded harmonic function on a punctured disk extend harmonically over the puncture, using the fact that such a function is locally ...

Convergence of the Borel summation integral
Let’s say we have a power series $$ f(z) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} a_k z^k $$ with radius of convergence $\rho$. Then we define a new function $$ \varphi(zt) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{a_k}{k!} (zt)^k $...
