In this paper we extend a result on the asymptotics of moments of certain cotangent sums associated to the Estermann and Riemann zeta functions established in a previous paper for integer exponents to arbitrary positive real exponents.
In this paper, an elementary method to find the values of the Riemann Zeta function at even natural numbers, and to find values of a closely related series at odd natural numbers is presented. Another method, specifically for the evaluation…
Let $k\geq 1$ be a small fixed integer. The rational approximations $\left |p/q-\pi^{k} \right |>1/q^{\mu(\pi^k)}$ of the irrational number $\pi^{k}$ are bounded away from zero. A general result for the irrationality exponent $\mu(\pi^k)$…
In this paper we introduce the real valued real analytic function kappa(t) implicitly defined by exp(2 pi i kappa(t)) = -exp(-2 i theta(t)) * (zeta'(1/2-it)/zeta'(1/2+it)) and kappa(0)=-1/2. (where theta(t) is the function appearing in the…
The positivity of the sum from the title is the first condition in the well-known criterium for the validity of the Riemann Hypothesis suggested by X.-J. Li. In the paper this value is represented as an infinite sum with positive summands.
The Riemann theta function is a complex-valued function of g complex variables. It appears in the construction of many (quasi-) periodic solutions of various equations of mathematical physics. In this paper, algorithms for its computation…
We present a new structure called the "conservative matrix field", initially developed to elucidate and provide insight into the methodologies employed by Ap\'ery's in his proof of the irrationality of the Riemann zeta function at 3. This…
This paper treats about one of the most remarkable achievements by Riemann, that is the symmetric form of the functional equation for {\zeta}(s). We present here, after showing the first proof of Riemann, a new, simple and direct proof of…
In this paper, we study some Euler-Ap\'ery-type series which involve central binomial coefficients and (generalized) harmonic numbers. In particular, we establish elegant explicit formulas of some series by iterated integrals and…
This monograph is intended to be considered as my habilitation (D.Sc.) thesis; because of that and as everything has already appeared in English, it is performed exclusively in Russian. The monograph comprises a detailed introduction and…
We exploit transformations relating generalized $q$-series, infinite products, sums over integer partitions, and continued fractions, to find partition-theoretic formulas to compute the values of constants such as $\pi$, and to connect sums…
A new definition for the Dirichlet beta function for positive integer arguments is discovered and presented for the first time. This redefinition of the Dirichlet beta function, based on the polygamma function for some special values,…
In this paper we perform a detailed analysis of Riemann's hypothesis, dealing with the zeros of the analytically-extended zeta function. We use the functional equation $\zeta(s) = 2^{s}\pi^{s-1}\sin{(\displaystyle \pi…
In this paper we give new estimates for integrals involving some arithmetic functions defined over prime numbers. The main focus here is on the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ and the Chebyshev $\vartheta$-function. Some of these estimates…
We present highlights of computations of the Riemann zeta function around large values and high zeros. The main new ingredient in these computations is an implementation of the second author's fast algorithm for numerically evaluating…
Fix $\delta\in(0,1]$, $\sigma_0\in[0,1)$ and a real-valued function $\varepsilon(x)$ for which $\limsup_{x\to\infty}\varepsilon(x)\le 0$. For every set of primes ${\mathcal P}$ whose counting function $\pi_{\mathcal P}(x)$ satisfies an…
We find and prove relationships between Riemann zeta values and central binomial sums. We also investigate alternating binomial sums (also called Ap\'ery sums). The study of non-alternating sums leads to an investigation of different types…
We give the definition, main properties and integral expressions of the auxiliary function of Riemann $\mathop{\mathcal R }(s)$. For example we prove $$\pi^{-s/2}\Gamma(s/2)\mathop{\mathcal R }(s)=-\frac{e^{-\pi i s/4}}{…
We give a new equivalent condition for the Riemann hypothesis consisting in an order condition for certain finite rational combinations of the values of the Riemann zeta-function at even positive integers.
It is shown explicitly how the sign of Hardy's function $Z(t)$ depends on the parity of the zero-counting function $N(T)$. Two existing definitions of this function are analyzed, and some related problems are discussed.
