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.

We investigate the ``partition function'' integrals $\int_{-1/2}^{1/2} |\zeta(1/2 + it + ih)|^2 dh$ for the critical exponent 2, and the local maxima $\max_{|h| \leq 1/2} |\zeta(1/2 + it + ih)|$, as $T \leq t \leq 2T$ varies. In particular,…

It is proved that $$\int_{T}^{2T} \left|\frac{\zeta\left(\frac{1}{2}+{\rm i} t\right)}{\zeta\left(1+2{\rm i} t\right)}\right|^2 {\rm d} t = \frac{1}{\zeta(2)} T \log T + \left( \frac{\log \frac{2}{\pi} + 2\gamma -1 }{\zeta(2)} -4…

Sections of the Hardy $Z$-function are given by $Z_N(t) := \sum_{k=1}^{N} \frac{cos(\theta(t)-ln(k) t) }{\sqrt{k}}$ for any $N \in \mathbb{N}$. Sections approximate the Hardy $Z$-function in two ways: (a) $2Z_{\widetilde{N}(t)}(t)$ is the…

We investigate the relationship between the maximum of the zeta function on the 1-line and the maximal order of $S(t)$, the error term in the number of zeros up to height $t$. We show that the conjectured upper bounds on $S(t)$ along with…

The integral $R(t)={\pi}^{-1}(ln{\zeta}(\frac{1}{2}+it)+i\vartheta (t))$ of the logarithmic derivative of the Hardy Z function $Z(t)=e^{i\vartheta (t)}{\zeta}(\frac{1}{2}+it)$, where $\vartheta (t)$ is the Riemann-Siegel theta function, and…

This paper describes a practical methodology for computing the Hardy function Z(t), using just O(((t/epsilon)^(1/3))*(log(t))^(2+o(1)))) standard computational operations, to a tolerance of epsilon in the relative error. The methodology is…

Hardy's theorem for the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ says that it admits infinitely many complex zeros on the line $\Re({s}) = \frac{1}{2}$. In this note, we give a simple proof of this statement which, to the best of our knowledge, is…

We study the conditional upper bounds and extreme values of derivatives of the Riemann zeta function and Dirichlet $L$-functions near the 1-line. Let $\ell$ be a fixed natural number. We show that, if $|\sigma-1|\ll1/\log_2t$, then…

This article proves the bound $|\zeta(\frac{1}{2} + it)|\leq 0.732 t^{\frac{1}{6}} \log t$ for $t \geq 2$, which improves on a result by Cheng and Graham. We also show that $|\zeta(\frac{1}{2}+it)|\leq 0.732 |3.3081+it|^{\frac{1}{6}} \log…

Various properties of the Mellin transform function $$ {\cal M}_k(s) := \int_1^\infty Z^k(x)x^{-s}dx $$ are investigated, where $$ Z(t) := \zeta(1/2+it){\bigl(\chi(1/2+it)\bigr)}^{-1/2}, \quad \zeta(s) = \chi(s)\zeta(1-s) $$ is Hardy's…

Under the Riemann hypothesis, we use the distribution of zeros of the zeta function to get a lower bound for the maximum of some derivative of Hardy's function.

The Hardy function $Z(t)=\zeta(1/2+it)e^{i\theta(t)}$ takes real values for real $t$ and its real zeros are zeros $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $1/2+it$. After discovering the critical value of the local maximum in 1956, Lehmer formulated…

For $0 < a \le 1/2$, we define the quadrilateral zeta function $Q(s,a)$ using the Hurwitz and periodic zeta functions and show that $Q(s,a)$ satisfies Riemann's functional equation studied by Hamburger, Heck and Knopp. Moreover, we prove…

In this article, we improve the recent work of Hasanalizade, Shen, and Wong by establishing \[ \left| N (T) - \frac{T}{ 2 \pi} \log \left( \frac{T}{2\pi e}\right) \right|\le 0.10076\log T+0.24460\log\log T+8.08344, \] for every $T\ge e$,…

Hardy's $Z$-function $Z(t)$ is a real-valued function of the real valuable $t$, and its zeros exactly correspond to those of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line. In 2012, K.~Matsuoka showed that for any non-negative integer $k$,…

We derive precise upper bounds for the maximum of the Riemann zeta function on a typical short interval of the critical line. We show that for fixed $\theta\in(-1,0]$, large $T$, and $y\geq 2$ satisfying $y=O(\log\log T/\log\log\log T)$,…

In this article, we show that $$ \left| N (T) - \frac{T}{ 2 \pi} \log \left( \frac{T}{2\pi e}\right) \right| \le 0.1038 \log T + 0.2573 \log\log T + 9.3675 $$ where $N(T)$ denotes the number of non-trivial zeros $\rho$, with $0<\Im(\rho)…

A discussion involving the evaluation of the sum $$\sum_{T<\g\le T+H}|\zeta(1/2+i\gamma)|^2$$ and some related integrals is presented, where $\gamma\,(>0)$ denotes imaginary parts of complex zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$. It…

In this paper we provide an explicit bound for $|\zeta(1+it)|$ in the form of $|\zeta(1+it)|\leq \min\left(\log t, \frac{1}{2}\log t+1.93, \frac{1}{5}\log t+44.02 \right)$. This improves on the current best-known explicit bound of…
