A practical method to compute the Riemann zeta function is presented. The method can compute $\zeta(1/2+it)$ at any $\lfloor T^{1/4} \rfloor$ points in $[T,T+T^{1/4}]$ using an average time of $T^{1/4+o(1)}$ per point. This is the same…

We prove several results on the distribution function of $\zeta(1+it)$ in the complex plane, that is the joint distribution function of $\arg\zeta(1+it)$ and $|\zeta(1+it)|$. Similar results are also given for $L(1,\chi)$ (as $\chi$ varies…

This paper gives a survey of known results concerning the Laplace transform $$ L_k(s) := \int_0^\infty |\zeta(1/2+ ix)|^{2k}{\rm e}^{-sx}{\rm d} x \qquad(k \in N, \R s > 0), $$ and the (modified) Mellin transform $$ {\cal Z}_k(s) :=…

Partial zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields generalize the classical zeta function by allowing each variable to be defined over a possibly different extension field of a fixed finite field. Due to this extra variation…

We present several results on the number of irrational and linear independent values among $\zeta(s),\zeta(s+2),...,\zeta(s+2n)$, where $s>2$ is an odd integer and $n>0$ is an integer. The main tool in our proofs is a certain generalization…

We investigate the distribution of large values of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ in the strip $1/2<\re s<1$. For any fixed $\re s=\sigma\in(1/2,1)$, we obtain an improved distribution function of large values of $|\zeta(\sigma+\i…
