Bounded Solutions of a Complex Differential Equation for the Riemann Hypothesis

General Mathematics 2025-11-06 v81

Abstract

In this manuscript, we consider the Riemann zeta function ζ\zeta, defined through the Abel summation formula. We present a simple analytical method based on a complex differential equation. The aim is to propose a new analytical approach, relying on complex differential equations defined on the interval [1,+)[1,+\infty), in order to gain insight into the behavior of ζ(s)\zeta(s) within the critical strip. We introduce a differential equation depending only on the complex parameter ss, extracted from the analytical structure of ζ(s)\zeta(s) for ss in the critical strip. This equation admits a unique continuous and bounded solution. The non-trivial zeros of the zeta function can thus be characterized through the boundedness of such a solution. Furthermore, we conjecture an asymmetry in the boundedness of these solutions with respect to the critical line, suggesting that if ζ(1s)=0\zeta(1-s)= 0, then ζ(s)0\zeta(s) \neq 0 for any ss in the critical strip except on the critical line. This observation does not contradict the Riemann functional equation but supports a formulation consistent with the Riemann Hypothesis, opening a simple yet potentially new direction for the analytical investigation of the zeta function and the localization of its non-trivial zeros.

Comments

All previous attempts have failed. The change introduced in the present version is to emphasize the approach of studying the Riemann Hypothesis solely within the framework of dynamical systems. More precisely, it focuses on a non-homogeneous linear differential equation from [1, +\infty) into R^2
