Abstract:
Let $\zeta(s)$ and $\beta(s)$ be the Riemann zeta function and the Dirichlet beta function. The formulas for calculating the values of $\zeta(2m)$ and $\beta(2m-1)$ ($m=1,2,\dots$) are classical and well known. Our aim is to represent $\zeta(2m+1)$, $\beta(2m)$, and related numbers in the form of definite integrals of elementary functions and rapidly converging numerical series containing $\zeta(2m)$. By applying the method of this work, on the one hand, both classical formulas and ones relatively recently obtained by others researchers are proved in a uniform manner, and on the other hand, numerous new results are derived.
Keywords:integral representation of series sums, values of the Riemann zeta function at odd points, values of the Dirichlet beta function at even points, Catalan's and Apéry's constants.
