Abstract

We evaluate in closed form three special classes of alternating zeta series with one and two additional parameters. Two classes are expressed as linear combinations of polylogarithms while for the third class we prove an expression involving the incomplete gamma function and the exponential integral. We also present some related series that can be deduced from the main results as well as some series with Fibonacci and Lucas numbers as coefficients. Particular cases of the series presented here will be rediscoveries of identities established by Zhang and Williams, Choi and Srivastava, and Orr, among others. We will also rediscover a series identity published by Mező in 2015 as a problem proposal in the American Mathematical Monthly.
