Abstract

In this article, we develop a formula for an inverse Riemann zeta function such that for w=ζ(s)w=\zeta(s) we have s=ζ1(w)s=\zeta^{-1}(w) for real and complex domains ss and ww. The presented work is based on extending the analytical recurrence formulas for trivial and non-trivial zeros as to solve an equation ζ(s)w=0\zeta(s)-w=0 for a given ww-domain using logarithmic differentiation and zeta recursive root extraction methods. We further explore formulas for trivial and non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function in greater detail, and next, we also explore an expansion of the inverse zeta function by an attractor of its branch singularities, and develop some identities that emerge from them. In the last part, we extend the presented results as a general method for finding zeros and inverses of many other functions, such as the gamma function, the Bessel function of the first kind, or finite/infinite degree polynomials and rational functions, etc. We further compute all the presented formulas numerically to high precision and show that these formulas do indeed converge to the inverse of the Riemann zeta function and the related results. We also develop a fast algorithm to compute ζ1(w)\zeta^{-1}(w) for complex ww.
