8.15.2		$a\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{{\mathrm{e}}^{2\pi\mathrm{i}k(z+h)}}{\left(2% \pi\mathrm{i}k\right)^{a+1}}\Gamma\left(a,2\pi\mathrm{i}kz\right)+\frac{{% \mathrm{e}}^{-2\pi\mathrm{i}k(z+h)}}{\left(-2\pi\mathrm{i}k\right)^{a+1}}% \Gamma\left(a,-2\pi\mathrm{i}kz\right)\right)=\zeta\left(-a,z+h\right)+\frac{z% ^{a+1}}{a+1}+\left(h-\tfrac{1}{2}\right)z^{a},$
$h\in[0,1]$ .
ⓘ Symbols: $\zeta\left(\NVar{s},\NVar{a}\right)$ : Hurwitz zeta function, $\pi$ : the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, $[\NVar{a},\NVar{b}]$ : closed interval, $\in$ : element of, $\mathrm{e}$ : base of natural logarithm, $\mathrm{i}$ : imaginary unit, $\Gamma\left(\NVar{a},\NVar{z}\right)$ : incomplete gamma function, $z$ : complex variable, $a$ : parameter and $k$ : nonnegative integer Proof sketch: Start with $a<-1$ and $z>0$ . For $\Gamma\left(a,\pm 2\pi\mathrm{i}kz\right)$ take integral representation (8.2.2) and use the substitution $t=\pm 2\pi\mathrm{i}kz(1+\tau)$ . The sum and the integral can be interchanged, and the sum can be evaluated via (4.6.1). Use integration by parts. This will result in $\left(h-\tfrac{1}{2}\right)z^{a}$ plus two integrals with infinitely many poles. The residue theorem (§1.10(iv)) will give us an infinite series which can be identified via (25.11.1). For other values of $a$ and $z$ use analytic continuation.

For the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta\left(s,a\right)$ see §25.11(i). For other infinite series whose terms include incomplete gamma functions, see Nemes (2017a), Reynolds and Stauffer (2021), and Prudnikov et al. (1986b, §5.2).
