Explicit formulas for some product series in the white noise theory and Lévy noise analysis

Hari M. Srivastava, Aleksandar Petojević

Abstract

The main object of this article is to provide closed-form expressions for each of the following sums:

𝒦 q := α 𝒥 ( 2 ) - q α and 𝒦 ¯ q := α 𝒥 ( 2 + 1 ) - q α , see text
\mathcal{K}_{q}:=\sum_{\alpha\in\mathcal{J}}(2\mathbb{N})^{-q\alpha}\quad\text% {and}\quad\overline{\mathcal{K}}_{q}:=\sum_{\alpha\in\mathcal{J}}(2\mathbb{N}+% 1)^{-q\alpha},

which appear in the analysis of stochastic partial differential equations. Our main results express these sums as finite products of Gamma functions:

𝒦 q = j = 0 q - 1 Γ ( 1 - ω j 2 ) and 𝒦 ¯ q = 2 q π q 2 j = 1 q - 1 Γ ( 3 2 - ω j 2 ) , see text
\mathcal{K}_{q}=\prod_{j=0}^{q-1}\Gamma\biggl{(}1-\frac{\omega^{j}}{2}\biggr{)% }\quad\text{and}\quad\overline{\mathcal{K}}_{q}=\frac{2^{q}}{\pi^{\frac{q}{2}}% }\prod_{j=1}^{q-1}\Gamma\biggl{(}\frac{3}{2}-\frac{\omega^{j}}{2}\biggr{)},

where

ω = e 2 π i q {\omega={\rm e}^{\frac{2\pi{\rm i}}{q}}}
is a primitive q th root of unity and
q 2 {q\geqq 2}
is a natural number. The relevance and potential uses of explicit evaluations of such product series in, for example, white noise theory and Lévy noise analysis are also indicated.
