Bernoulli identities, zeta relations, determinant expressions, Mellin transforms, and representation of the Hurwitz numbers

The Hurwitz numbers H˜n occur in the Laurent expansion about the origin of a certain Weierstrass ℘ function for a square lattice, and are highly analogous to the Bernoulli numbers. An integral representation of the Laurent coefficients about the origin for general ℘ functions, and for these numbers in particular, is presented. As a Corollary, the asymptotic form of the Hurwitz numbers is determined. In addition, a series representation of the Hurwitz numbers is given, as well as a new recurrence. Other results concern the Matter numbers of the equianharmonic case of the ℘ function.
