Description

When the eigenvalues of an operator A can be computed and form a discrete set the spectral zeta function of A reduces to a sum over eigenvalues, when the sum exists (see Berry [1], Elizalde [2], and Crandall [3]). Belloni and Robinett [4] used the “quantum bouncer” to compute quantum sum rules (see Vallée and Soares [5]). Here we use Mathematica to compute the spectral zeta function for various special functions via the Weierstrass product theorem.
