This paper begins with a re-examination of the Riemann-Siegel Integral, which first discovered amongst by Bessel-Hagen in 1926 and expanded upon by C. L. Siegel on his 1932 account of Riemanns unpublished work on the zeta function. By…

In this paper we construct a family of holomorphic functions $\beta_\lambda (s)$ which are solutions to the asymptotic tetration equation. Each $\beta_\lambda$ satisfies the functional relationship ${\displaystyle \beta_\lambda(s+1) =…

Abel's functional equation for $2^{x/2}$ and half-iterates of $\lambda x (1-x)$ & $\sqrt{1+x}$ are featured in this collection of exercises ($0 < \lambda \neq 1 < 2$).

We prove an asymptotic for the sum of $\zeta^{(n)} (\rho)X^{\rho}$ where $\zeta^{(n)} (s)$ denotes the $n$th derivative of the Riemann zeta function, $X$ is a positive real and $\rho$ denotes a non-trivial zero of the Riemann zeta function.…

We obtain almost sure bounds for the weighted sum $\sum_{n \leq t} \frac{f(n)}{\sqrt{n}}$, where $f(n)$ is a Steinhaus random multiplicative function. Specifically, we obtain the bounds predicted by exponentiating the law of the iterated…

A modular relation of the form $F(\alpha, w)=F(\beta, iw)$, where $i=\sqrt{-1}$ and $\alpha\beta=1$, is obtained. It involves the generalized digamma function $\psi_w(a)$ which was recently studied by the authors in their work on developing…

We study zero-free regions of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta$ related to an approximation problem in the weighted Dirichlet space $D_{-2}$ which is known to be equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis since the work of B\'aez-Duarte. We…

When using the boundary integral equation method to solve a boundary value problem, the evaluation of the solution near the boundary is challenging to compute because the layer potentials that represent the solution are nearly-singular…

We define zeta functions for the adjoint action of GL(n) on its Lie algebra and study their analytic properties. For n<4 we are able to fully analyse these functions, and recover the Shintani zeta function for the prehomogeneous vector…

We present new sharper lower and upper bounds for the non-zero Bernoulli numbers using Euler's formula for the Riemann zeta function. In particular, we determine the best possible constants $ \alpha $ and $ \beta $ such that the double…

Several identities for the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ are proved. For example, if $s = \sigma + it$ and $\sigma > 0$, then $$ \int_{-\infty}^\infty |{(1-2^{1-s})\zeta(s)\over s}|^2dt = {\pi\over\sigma}(1 -…

The Dirichlet eta function can be divided into $n$-th partial sum $\eta_{n}(s)$ and remainder term $R_{n}(s)$. We focus on the remainder term which can be approximated by the expression for $n$. And then, to increase reliability, we make…

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.

Using a different approach, we derive integral representations for the Riemann zeta function and its generalizations (the Hurwitz zeta, $\zeta(-k,b)$, the polylogarithm, $\mathrm{Li}_{-k}(e^m)$, and the Lerch transcendent,…

We prove an asymptotic formula for $F\left(1/4-it+ir,1/4-it-ir,1/2;x \right)$ as $r, t\to\infty$ and $\alpha=r/t\to0.$ This special case of the Gauss hypergeometric function appears in the explicit formula for the first moment of Maass form…

Starting from the symmetrical reflection functional equation of the zeta function, we have found that the sigma values satisfying zeta(s) = 0 must also satisfy both |zeta(s)| = |zeta(1 - s)| and |gamma(s/2)zeta(s)| = |gamma((1 - s)/2)zeta(1…

In this paper, the connection between the functional inequalities $$ f\Big(\frac{x+y}{2}\Big)\leq\frac{f(x)+f(y)}{2}+\alpha_J(x-y) \qquad (x,y\in D)$$ and $$ \int_0^1f\big(tx+(1-t)y\big)\rho(t)dt \leq\lambda f(x)+(1-\lambda)f(y)…

The Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ is defined as the infinite sum $\sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{-s}$, which converges when ${\rm Re}\,s>1$. The Riemann hypothesis asserts that the nontrivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$ lie on the line ${\rm Re}\,s=…
