A Ramanujan enigma involving the first Stieltjes constant

We provide a rigorous formulation of Entry 17(v) in Ramanujan's Notebooks and show how this relates to the first Stieltjes constant. A new proposition 4.5 is included to show the close relationship with some analysis presented by Candelpergher in 2017.

On the generalized Bernoulli numbers

We derive an expression for the generalized Bernoulli numbers in terms of the Bernoulli numbers involving the (exponential) complete Bell polynomials.

Determination of the Stieltjes constants at rational arguments

The Stieltjes constants have attracted considerable attention in recent years and a number of authors, including the present one, have considered various ways in which these constants may be evaluated. The primary purpose of this paper is to belatedly highlight the fact that Deninger actually ascertained the first generalised Stieltjes constant at rational arguments as long ago as 1984 and that all of the higher constants (at rational arguments) were determined in principle by Chakraborty, Kanemitsu and Kuzumaki in 2009. Equivalent results were obtained by Musser in his 2011 thesis. The authors of the above papers simply referred to the constants as the Laurent coefficients which explains why various electronic searches conducted by this author for Stieltjes constants did not readily highlight these particular sources. In this paper the author has employed a slightly different argument to obtain a simpler expression for the results originally derived by Chakraborty et al. in 2009.

Some relations involving the higher derivatives of the Riemann zeta function

We show that the higher derivatives of the Riemann zeta function may be expressed in terms of integrals involving the digamma function. Related integrals for the Stieltjes constants are also shown. We also present a formula for the derivatives of the Riemann zeta function entirely in terms of the Lehmer constants.

Fourier series and periodicity

A large number of the classical texts dealing with Fourier series more or less state that the hypothesis of periodicity is required for pointwise convergence. In this paper, we highlight the fact that this condition is not necessary.
