1 J. Appl. Math. & Computig Vol. x 00y), No. z, pp. A RECURSION FOR ALERNAING HARMONIC SERIES ÁRPÁD BÉNYI Abstract. We preset a coveiet recursive formula for the sums of alteratig harmoic series of odd order. he recursio is obtaied by expadig i Fourier series certai elemetary fuctios. AMS Mathematics Subject Classificatio : 40A05, 40A99, 4A0. Key words ad phrases : Harmoic series, Fourier series.. Itroductio It is a classical result that ) k ) k + ) k = δ k, k N. ) he δ k s i the formula above are ratioal umbers which are give i terms of the Beroulli umbers B k or the Euler umbers E k )/ depedig o whether k is eve or odd. he treatmet of the case whe k is eve ca be traced back to Euler, who was the first to show, for example, that for k =, δ k = /3, cf. [5], pp here are several other works dealig with this case; see e.g. [], [3], [6], [7]. he case k odd, o the other had, has received less attetio over the years. A elemetary proof give i [] shows that the δ k s ca be obtaied as the volumes of certai covex polytopes, while simultaeously coverig both parity cases referrig to k i ). I this case, i order to fid the sums of, say, the alteratig harmoic series of odd order which correspod to k odd i ) oe caot avoid goig through the computatio of the Euler umbers. A differet approach that relates the computatio of the series to the eumeratio of alteratig ad cyclically alteratig permutatios is give i [4]. he purpose of this ote is to give a coveiet recursive formula for the sums of alteratig harmoic series of odd order. I particular, we also recover ) i Received,. Revised,. c 00x Korea Society for Computatioal & Applied Mathematics.
2 Árpád Béyi the case whe k is odd. Our proof employs some basic facts about Fourier series expasios of periodic fuctios. Although the idea of usig Fourier techiques to deal with harmoic series is ot ew for example, a similar approach was pursued i [7] to deal with the case k eve), we could ot fid the recursio we are about to prove elsewhere i the literature. Furthermore, it is of iterest to ote that the recursive relatio is useful i fidig the sums of the alteratig harmoic series of odd order without the iterveig parameters give by the Euler umbers.. he Recursio Let us deote by S k = Our mai result is the followig ) + ) k+. Propositio. For all k 0, k k+ k + )! = ) j S j k j + )!. Before we give the proof of Propositio, let us first recall a few basic facts about Fourier series. Let f : R R be a periodic fuctio of period > 0, that is fx + ) = fx) for all x. I this case, to study f is eough to restrict our attetio to ay iterval of legth, sice the values of f o this iterval determie precisely the fuctio o the whole real lie. We ca also attach to f its Fourier series, fx) a 0 + = a cos x + b si x ), ) where a 0, a, ad b,, are called the Fourier coefficiets of the fuctio f ad are give by a = / / fx) cos x dx ad b = / / fx) si x It is easy to see that if f is, additioally, a odd fuctio, that is fx) = f x) for all x, the a = 0, 0 ad b = 4 / fx) si x dx,. It is 0 importat to ote that, i geeral, oe caot simply replace the symbol with a equality i ). However, whe f behaves icely, this is possible. I dx. 3)
3 Alteratig Harmoic Series 3 particular, if f is a -periodic fuctio so that i, ) the derivative f x) exists ad is fiite, the oe ca write fx) = a 0 + a cos x + b si x), 4) = meaig that the Fourier series attached to f is coverget to fx). his well kow fact follows immediately, for example, from the so called Dirichlet-Jorda theorem o the covergece of Fourier series; see [8], pp , for further details. Cosider ow the fuctios f k : [0, ), f k x) = x k+, k 0. For each k, we will also deote by f k the odd -periodic extesio of f k to the whole real lie, i.e., f k satisfies f k x) = f k x) ad f k x + ) = f k x) for all x. Obviously, the fuctios f k are differetiable o, ) ad all the -traslates of this iterval) ad are discotiuous at all the poits which are odd iteger multiples of. As we have remarked above, sice the f k s are odd fuctios, we ca write for x, ) f k x) = b,k si x, where b,k = = 0 f k x) si x dx. 5) With these prelimiaries, we are ow ready to proceed with the proof of our mai result. Proof. Itegratig twice by parts i the itegral above which defies b,k we obtai b,k = )+ k kk + ) b,k. 6) Let α,k = )+ k kk + ) ad β,k =. he 6) ca be rewritte as b,k = α,k + β,k b,k. 7) Fix ad write ow the correspodig relatios for b,k, b,k,..., b, i 7). If we elimiate all the terms b,j, j k, from the system of equatios obtaied this way, we fid that k b,k = α,k + α,k j β,k β,k β,k j. 8)
4 4 Árpád Béyi Sice β,k β,k β,k j = ) j+ k + )!, from 8) we have k j )! b,k = )+ k + )+ k + )! k k ) j+ k j )!. 9) If we ow let x = i 5) we obtai ) ) f k = b,k si = ) b +,k. = Usig the latter formula ad 9), ad after dividig out both sides by k, we get k+ = ) + +k+)! ) k ) j+ + + ) k j )! or k+ = ) k + + k + )! ) j+ k j )! ) + ) j+3. If we ow chage the idex of summatio i the secod term accordig to j := j, the last equatio becomes k k+ = k + )! ) j k j + )! which is the recursio we wated to prove. ) + ) j+, I particular, if we let k = 0 i our recursive relatio we recover Leibiz s formula 4 = Similarly, we fid 3 3 = = It is also clear that the recursio give i Propositio proves ) for k odd by a easy iductio argumet.
