Abstract

On page 196 in his lost notebook, S. Ramanujan offers evaluations of two particular Dirichlet series. In this paper, we establish Ramanujan's evaluations and more general results by various approaches. The different evaluations arising from different methods yield intriguing, unsuspecting identities.
