Abstract

The Stieltjes constants $\gamma_k(a)$ appear as the coefficients in the regular part of the Laurent expansion of the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,a)$ about $s=1$. We present series representations of these constants of interest to theoretical and computational analytic number theory. A particular result gives an addition formula for the Stieltjes constants. As a byproduct, expressions for derivatives of all orders of the Stieltjes coefficients are given. Many other results are obtained, including instances of an exponentially fast converging series representation for $\gamma_k=\gamma_k(1)$. Some extensions are briefly described, as well as the relevance to expansions of Dirichlet $L$ functions.
