Extract

This note is a sequel to two in earlier volumes of the Proceedings, the first by myself and the second by Wilton†.

Suppose that

for |z| <1; that x > 0; that

forr ≥ 0; and that

where τ(x) is to mean 0 if x is not an integer. Thus

where the dash shows that the last term is to be halved when x is an integer;

forr > 1; and
