For Etaf1 and Etaf2 you may use directly the polylogarithm :
Li_z(x) = sum_{k=1}^oo x^k/k^z
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polylogarithm>

Etaf1(z)= Li_z( i)/i = (2^(-z) Eta(z) + i Beta(z))/i
Etaf2(z)= Li_z(-i)/i = (2^(-z) Eta(z) - i Beta(z))/i

with Beta(z) the Dirichlet beta function :
Beta(z)= sum_{n=0}^oo (-1)^n/(2n+1)^z
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_beta_function>

The Clausen function could be of interest too :
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clausen_function>

For Etaf3 and Etaf4 you may rewrite them with a little more work
using for example (I think you may write them too as sum of
polylogarithms...)
sum_{k=0}^oo 1/(4*k+1)^z = zeta(z, 1/4)/4^z
sum_{k=0}^oo 1/(4*k+2)^z = (2^z-1) zeta(z)/4^z
sum_{k=0}^oo 1/(4*k+3)^z = zeta(z, 3/4)/4^z
sum_{k=0}^oo 1/(4*k+4)^z = zeta(z)/4^z
(with zeta(z, q) the Hurwitz zeta function
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurwitz_zeta_function>)


Hoping it helped,

Thanks for the help.

So it seems there may be analytic expressions for all these functions.
As the period increases, it may be possible to use the previous
results like a fractal.

A picture of these would be nice to look at, to see what kind of
transformations the zeros go through, and what kind of new zeros are
introduced.

At this level the eight cycles should also be done;

1, (1+i)/s2, i, (i-1)/s2, -1, (-1-i)/s2, -i, (-i+1)/s2

It is a mediation sequence, like the Stern-Brocot tree with the
mediation rule changing at every step. The deeper we get into it, the
longer wavelengths we can cover, thus exhausting the entire bandwidth
of the Zeta function.

This may imply that the zeros of the Riemann's Zeta function are in
fact the smallest set of resonances in the primes. At every wavelength
there may be a whole new set of resonances requiring a whole new
function. An infinite fractal of infinite analytical expressions.

This could explain why it has been so difficult to prove Riemann's
Hypothesis. It was not the whole picture.

Which is to say,
you just calculated that (1/4) + (1/8) + (1/16) + ... = 1/2.

I'm sure the Riemann Hypothesis
is just minutes away.

Ok got your point.
