### A zeta limit

Let us denote with $\zeta$ the Riemann zeta function defined as $\zeta(0)=-\frac{1}{2}$. Let us also denote with $\zeta^{(n)}$ the $n$-th derivative of zeta. Evaluate the limit

$$\ell=\lim_{n \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{\zeta^{(n)}(0)}{n!}$$
Imagination is much more important than knowledge.

### Re: A zeta limit

We know that the function $\displaystyle f(z) \equiv \zeta(z) + \frac{1}{1-z}$ is a holomorphic function. The Taylor series around $0$ is

$$\zeta(z) + \frac{1}{1-z} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \left( \frac{\zeta^{(n)}(0)}{n!} + 1 \right) z^n$$

which converges forall $z \in \mathbb{C}$ thus $\displaystyle \lim_{n \to +\infty} \frac{\zeta^{(n)}(0)}{n!} = -1$.
$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s}= \prod_{p \; \text{prime}}\frac{1}{1-p^{-s}}$

### Re: A zeta limit

Using the above fact we get that $\zeta^{(n)}(0) \sim -n!$.
