A naive integral
Abstract
In arXiv:2406.0243 two real functions and are defined, so that the Riemann-Siegel function is given as where is a real function of order when . The function is indefinitely differentiable and tends to as well as all its derivatives when or . Since, furthermore, for the function tends to we may expect that the integral depends essentially on the behavior of at the extremes. As Polya in an analogous situation we consider the substitution of by a simpler similar function. A simple function with this behavior is Therefore, we define replacing in the definition of the function by the simpler . \begin{equation} J_0(t)=2\pi\int_0^\infty (1+\tfrac{1}{4}x^{-\frac52})e^{-\pi x-\frac{\pi}{4x}}(1-ix)^{\frac12(\frac12+it)}\,dx. \end{equation} The resulting disappoints us However, the integral is interesting as a technical challenge. And still we have the possibility to get a better result improving . This is a preliminary version, and we set it as a challenge: to compute and study this integral.
