Closed form for $sumlimits_{n=1}^{infty}frac{O_{n}^{(p)}}{(2n-1)^{q}}$, with...

Consider the sum




$$sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{O_{n}^{(p)}}{(2n-1)^{q}}text{, with }O_{n}^{(s)}=1+frac{1}{3^{s}}+dots+frac{1}{(2n-1)^{s}}$$




My question is: if there exists some general theorems that allow to represent this sums in terms of the Riemann Zeta function, like Borwein-Borwein-Girgensohn theorem for Euler sums?

    These Euler sums are well-known to be solvable (in terms of $zeta$) for $p+qleq 5$ and in other cases (like $p=q$), see The Bible.

Changing your notation a bit
and playing around.



If
$O_{n}(s)
=1+frac{1}{3^{s}}+dots+frac{1}{(2n-1)^{s}}
=sum_{k=1}^n frac1{(2k-1)^s}
$
,
$O(s)
=O_{infty}(s)
$
,
and
$s(p, q)
=sum_{n=1}^{infty}dfrac{O_{n}(p)}{(2n-1)^{q}}
$

then



$s(p, q)+s(q, p)
=O(p)O(q)+O(p+q)
$
.



Proof.



$begin{array}\
s(p, q)
&=sum_{n=1}^{infty}dfrac{O_{n}(p)}{(2n-1)^{q}}\
&=sum_{n=1}^{infty}dfrac{sum_{k=1}^n frac1{(2k-1)^p}}{(2n-1)^{q}}\
&=sum_{n=1}^{infty}sum_{k=1}^n dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}dfrac{1}{(2n-1)^{q}}\
&=sum_{k=1}^{infty}sum_{n=k}^{infty} dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}dfrac{1}{(2n-1)^{q}}\
&=sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}sum_{n=k}^{infty} dfrac{1}{(2n-1)^{q}}\
&=sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}left(sum_{n=1}^{infty} dfrac{1}{(2n-1)^{q}}-sum_{n=1}^{k-1} dfrac{1}{(2n-1)^{q}}right)\
&=sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}left(O(q)-O_{k-1}(q)right)\
&=O(p)O(q)-sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}O_{k-1}(q)\
&=O(p)O(q)-sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}(O_{k}(q)-frac1{(2k-1)^q})\
&=O(p)O(q)-sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}O_{k}(q)+sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}dfrac1{(2k-1)^q}\
&=O(p)O(q)-s(q, p)+sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^{p+q}}\
&=O(p)O(q)-s(q, p)+O(p+q)
\
end{array}
$



Some additional
definitions and stuff
which might be useful.



$Z_{n}(s)
=sum_{k=1}^n frac1{k^s}
$



$E_{n}(s)
=sum_{k=1}^n frac1{(2k)^s}
=frac1{2^s}sum_{k=1}^n frac1{k^s}
=frac1{2^s}Z_{n}(s)
$



$O_{n}(s)+E_{n}(s)
=sum_{k=1}^{2n} frac1{k^s}
=Z_{2n}(s)
$

so
$O_{n}(s)
=Z_{2n}(s)-E_{n}(s)
=Z_{2n}(s)-frac1{2^s}Z_{n}(s)
$



$O(s)
=O_{infty}(s)
$
,
$E(s)
=E_{infty}(s)
$
,
$Z(s)
=zeta(s)
=Z_{infty}(s)
$
.



$O(s)
=Z(s)-E(s)
=Z(s)-frac1{2^s}Z(s)
=(1-2^{-s})Z(s)
$

$s(p, q)+s(q, p)

$
.



Proof.



$begin{array}\
s(p, q)
&=sum_{n=1}^{infty}dfrac{O_{n}(p)}{(2n-1)^{q}}\
&=sum_{n=1}^{infty}dfrac{sum_{k=1}^n frac1{(2k-1)^p}}{(2n-1)^{q}}\

&=sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}left(O(q)-O_{k-1}(q)right)\
&=O(p)O(q)-sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}O_{k-1}(q)\
&=O(p)O(q)-sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}(O_{k}(q)-frac1{(2k-1)^q})\
&=O(p)O(q)-sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}O_{k}(q)+sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}dfrac1{(2k-1)^q}\
&=O(p)O(q)-s(q, p)+sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^{p+q}}\

$O_{n}(s)+E_{n}(s)

&=sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}sum_{n=k}^{infty} dfrac{1}{(2n-1)^{q}}\
&=sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}left(sum_{n=1}^{infty} dfrac{1}{(2n-1)^{q}}-sum_{n=1}^{k-1} dfrac{1}{(2n-1)^{q}}right)\
&=sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}left(O(q)-O_{k-1}(q)right)\
&=O(p)O(q)-sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}O_{k-1}(q)\
&=O(p)O(q)-sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}(O_{k}(q)-frac1{(2k-1)^q})\
&=O(p)O(q)-sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}O_{k}(q)+sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^p}dfrac1{(2k-1)^q}\
&=O(p)O(q)-s(q, p)+sum_{k=1}^{infty}dfrac1{(2k-1)^{p+q}}\
&=O(p)O(q)-s(q, p)+O(p+q)

end{array}

Some additional
definitions and stuff
which might be useful.



$Z_{n}(s)
=sum_{k=1}^n frac1{k^s}
$



$E_{n}(s)
=sum_{k=1}^n frac1{(2k)^s}
=frac1{2^s}sum_{k=1}^n frac1{k^s}
=frac1{2^s}Z_{n}(s)
$



$O_{n}(s)+E_{n}(s)
=sum_{k=1}^{2n} frac1{k^s}
=Z_{2n}(s)
$

so
$O_{n}(s)
=Z_{2n}(s)-E_{n}(s)
=Z_{2n}(s)-frac1{2^s}Z_{n}(s)
$



$O(s)
=O_{infty}(s)
$
,
$E(s)
=E_{infty}(s)
$
,
$Z(s)
=zeta(s)
=Z_{infty}(s)
$
.



$O(s)
=Z(s)-E(s)
=Z(s)-frac1{2^s}Z(s)
=(1-2^{-s})Z(s)
$

    What about $p+q$ being odd?

    I don't see where my answer depends on the parity of p or q.

    I was thinking about the general case $sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{O_{n}^{(p)}}{(2n-1)^{q}}$

    Don't know about that. I was doing my usual playing around and found, to my surprise, the expression with p and q exchanged. So if you know s(p, q), you can get s(q, p).
