Question Number 2815 by prakash jain last updated on 28/Nov/15

η(s)=Σ_(n=1) ^∞ (((−1)^(n−1) )/n^s ) Dirichlet eta function prove that η(s)=(1−2^(1−s) )ζ(s)

$$\eta\left({s}\right)=\underset{{n}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}\frac{\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}−\mathrm{1}} }{{n}^{{s}} }\:\mathrm{Dirichlet}\:\mathrm{eta}\:\mathrm{function} \\ $$$$\mathrm{prove}\:\mathrm{that} \\ $$$$\eta\left({s}\right)=\left(\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{1}−{s}} \right)\zeta\left({s}\right) \\ $$

η(s)=Σ_(n=1) ^(+∞) (((−1)^(n−1) )/n^s ) (???)

$$\eta\left({s}\right)=\underset{{n}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{+\infty} {\sum}}\frac{\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{n}−\mathrm{1}} }{{n}^{{s}} }\:\:\left(???\right) \\ $$

For s∈R, s>1 η(s)=(1/1^s )−(1/2^s )+(1/3^s )−(1/4^s )+.. η(s)=(1/1^s )+((1/2^s )−(2/2^s ))+(1/3^s )+((1/4^s )−(2/4^s ))+... taking all −ve terms towards end. series rearrangement is valid for s>1. η(s)=ζ(s)−(2/2^s )[(1/1^s )+(1/2^s )+...] η(s)=ζ(s)−2^(1−s) ζ(s) η(s)=ζ(s)(1−2^(1−s) )
