Abstract

We prove that for s=σ+its=\sigma+it with σ0\sigma\ge0 and 0<tx0<t\le x, we have ζ(s)=nxns+x1s(s1)+Θ2914xσ,2914=2.07142\zeta(s)=\sum_{n\le x}n^{-s}+\frac{x^{1-s}}{(s-1)}+\Theta\frac{29}{14} x^{-\sigma},\qquad \frac{29}{14}=2.07142\dots where Θ\Theta is a complex number with Θ1|\Theta|\le1. This improves Theorem 4.11 of Titchmarsh.
