Integral representations of the Riemann zeta function of odd argument

Jean-Christophe Pain

Abstract

In this article we obtain, using an expression of the digamma function $ψ(x)$ due to Mikolas, integral representations of the zeta function of odd arguments $ζ(2p+1)$ for any positive value of $p$. The integrand consists of the product of a polynomial by one or two elementary trigonometric functions. Examples for the first values of the argument are given. Some of them were already derived by other methods.
