According to Raymond Ayoub, the fact that the divergent zeta series is not Abel-summable prevented Euler from using the zeta function as freely as the eta function, and he "could not have attached a meaning" to the series. Other authors have credited Euler with the sum, suggesting that Euler would have extended the relationship between the zeta and eta functions to negative integers. In the primary literature, the series 1836:{\displaystyle {\begin{alignedat}{7}\zeta (s)&{}={}&1^{-s}+2^{-s}&&{}+3^{-s}+4^{-s}&&{}+5^{-s}+6^{-s}+\cdots &\\2\times 2^{-s}\zeta (s)&{}={}&2\times 2^{-s}&&{}+2\times 4^{-s}&&{}+2\times 6^{-s}+\cdots &\\\left(1-2^{1-s}\right)\zeta (s)&{}={}&1^{-s}-2^{-s}&&{}+3^{-s}-4^{-s}&&{}+5^{-s}-6^{-s}+\cdots &=\eta (s).\end{alignedat}}} 1106: 573: 855: 3390:

Generally speaking, it is incorrect to manipulate infinite series as if they were finite sums. For example, if zeroes are inserted into arbitrary positions of a divergent series, it is possible to arrive at results that are not self-consistent, let alone consistent with other methods. In particular,

653: 2165: 2430:; this is a different normalization from the one used in differential equations. The cutoff function should have enough bounded derivatives to smooth out the wrinkles in the series, and it should decay to 0 faster than the series grows. For convenience, one may require that 2986:, because no regular function takes those values. Instead, such a series must be interpreted by zeta function regularization. For this reason, Hardy recommends "great caution" when applying the Ramanujan sums of known series to find the sums of related series. 2579:

Although the series seems at first sight not to have any meaningful value at all, it can be manipulated to yield a number of different mathematical results. For example, many
