By considering the prime zeta function, the author intended to demonstrate in that the Riemann zeta function zeta(s) does not vanish for Re(s)>1/2, which would have proven the Riemann hypothesis. However, he later realised that the proof of…

In his famous presentation at the International Congress of Mathematicians held in Paris in 1900, David Hilbert included the Riemann Hypothesis on zeros of $\zeta -$function as number 8 in his list of 23 challenging problems published…

We prove an equivalent of the Riemann hypothesis in terms of the functional equation (in its asymmetrical form) and the $a$-points of the zeta-function, i.e., the roots of the equation $\zeta(s)=a$, where $a$ is an arbitrary fixed complex…

In this paper a special class of local zeta functions is studied. The main theorem states that the functions have all zeros on the line Re (s)=1/2. This is a natural generalization of the result of Bump and Ng stating that the zeros of the…

This analysis which uses new mathematical methods aims at proving the Riemann hypothesis and figuring out an approximate base for imaginary non-trivial zeros of zeta function at very large numbers, in order to determine the path that those…

In one of his posthumous papers, conserved in G\"ottingen, Riemann considers the derivatives of $\log\zeta(s)$ at the point $1/2$, giving explicit values for them. Around 2010 we shared Riemann's value of the second derivative with some…

Adolf Hurwitz is rather famous for his celebrated contributions to Riemann surfaces, modular forms, diophantine equations and approximation as well as to certain aspects of algebra. His early work on an important generalization of…

Contour integral representations for Riemann's Zeta function and Dirichelet's Eta (alternating Zeta) function are presented and investigated. These representations flow naturally from methods developed in the 1800's, but somehow they do not…

A quite fast proof of the functional equation of the Riemann zeta function. It is a modification of a proof usually overlooked in Titchmarsh's monograph.

The aim of this paper is to investigate harmonic Stieltjes constants occurring in the Laurent expansions of the function \[ \zeta_{H}\left( s,a\right) =\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{\left( n+a\right) ^{s}}\sum_{k=0}^{n}\frac{1}{k+a},\text{…

A rigorous proof is given of the hypergeometric-like representation of the Riemann-zeta function discovered by K. Maslanka.

In this paper we present a simple method for deriving an alternative form of the functional equation for Riemann's Zeta function. The connections between some functional equations obtained implicitly by Leonhard Euler in his work "Remarques…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to an error in section 7. There is a new version: arXiv:1011.3352.

Stieltjes' work on continued fractions and the orthogonal polynomials related to continued fraction expansions is summarized and an attempt is made to describe the influence of Stieltjes' ideas and work in research done after his death,…

We describe in detail three distinct families of generalized zeta functions built over the (nontrivial) zeros of a rather general arithmetic zeta or L-function, extending the scope of two earlier works that treated the Riemann zeros only.…

The functional equation for Riemann's Zeta function is studied, from which it is shown why all of the non-trivial, full-zeros of the Zeta function $\zeta (s)$ will only occur on the critical line {$\sigma=1/2$} where {$s=\sigma+I \rho$},…

The Stieltjes constants gamma_k(a) are the expansion coefficients in the Laurent series for the Hurwitz zeta function about its only pole at s=1. We present the relation of gamma_k(1) to the eta_j coefficients that appear in the Laurent…

Let $\pi S(t)$ denote the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point $s=\tfrac12+it$. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we give a new and simple proof of the sharpest known bound for $S(t)$. We discuss a generalization of this bound…

Finite differences of values of the Riemann zeta function at the integers are explored. Such quantities, which occur as coefficients in Newton series representations, have surfaced in works of Maslanka, Coffey, Baez-Duarte, Voros and…

We obtain a new proof of Hurwitz's formula for the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s, a)$ beginning with Hermite's formula. The aim is to reveal a nice connection between $\zeta(s, a)$ and a special case of the Lommel function $S_{\mu,…
