A Generalization of the Secant Zeta Function as a Lambert Series

الملخص EN

Recently, Lalín, Rodrigue, and Rogers have studied the secant zeta function and its convergence.

They found many interesting values of the secant zeta function at some particular quadratic irrational numbers.

They also gave modular transformation properties of the secant zeta function.

In this paper, we generalized secant zeta function as a Lambert series and proved a result for the Lambert series, from which the main result of Lalín et al.

follows as a corollary, using the theory of generalized Dedekind eta-function, developed by Lewittes, Berndt, and Arakawa.
