<s>[INST] How to simplify $\frac{1+\frac{1}{2^p} + \frac{1}{3^p} + \frac{1}{4^p} + \cdots}{1 - \frac{1}{2^p} + \frac{1}{3^p} - \frac{1}{4^p} + \cdots}$ Let $p$ is real number which satisfies$\quad p > 1$
How can I simplify the fraction
$$\frac{1+\frac{1}{2^p} + \frac{1}{3^p} + \frac{1}{4^p} + \cdots}{1 - \frac{1}{2^p} + \frac{1}{3^p} - \frac{1}{4^p} + \cdots}$$
Numerator is $\zeta(p)$ but I don't know the closed form of denominator.
Is there any idea to simplify this fraction?
