Summation of Series over Bourget Functions

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper we derive formulas for summation of series involving J. Bourget's generalization of Bessel functions of integer order, as well as the analogous generalizations by H. M. Srivastava. These series are expressed in terms of the Riemann ζ function and Dirichlet functions η, λ, β, and can be brought into closed form in certain cases, which means that the infinite series are represented by finite sums.
