Z Function
In mathematics, the Z function is a function (mathematics), function used for studying the Riemann zeta function along the Riemann hypothesis, critical line where the argument is one-half. It is also called the Riemann–Siegel Z function, the Riemann–Siegel zeta function, the G._H._Hardy, Hardy function, the Hardy Z function and the Hardy-Littlewood_zeta-function_conjectures, Hardy zeta function. It can be defined in terms of the Riemann–Siegel theta function and the Riemann zeta function by : Z(t) = e^ \zeta\left(\frac 1 2 + it\right). It follows from the functional equation of the Riemann zeta function that the Z function is real for real values of ''t''. It is an even function, and real analytic function, real analytic for real values. It follows from the fact that the Riemann-Siegel theta function and the Riemann zeta function are both holomorphic in the critical strip, where the imaginary part of ''t'' is between −1/2 and 1/2, that the Z function is holomorphic in t ...

Riemann–Siegel Formula
In mathematics, the Riemann–Siegel formula is an asymptotic formula for the error of the approximate functional equation of the Riemann zeta function, an approximation of the zeta function by a sum of two finite Dirichlet series. It was found by in unpublished manuscripts of Bernhard Riemann dating from the 1850s. Siegel derived it from the Riemann–Siegel integral formula, an expression for the zeta function involving contour integrals. It is often used to compute values of the Riemann–Siegel formula, sometimes in combination with the Odlyzko–Schönhage algorithm which speeds it up considerably. When used along the critical line, it is often useful to use it in a form where it becomes a formula for the Z function. If ''M'' and ''N'' are non-negative integers, then the zeta function is equal to :\zeta(s) = \sum_^N\frac + \gamma(1-s)\sum_^M\frac + R(s) where :\gamma(s) = \pi^ \frac is the factor appearing in the functional equation , and :R(s) = \frac\int \fracdx is a c ...

Root Mean Square
In mathematics and its applications, the root mean square of a set of numbers x_i (abbreviated as RMS, or rms and denoted in formulas as either x_\mathrm or \mathrm_x) is defined as the square root of the mean square (the arithmetic mean of the squares) of the set. The RMS is also known as the quadratic mean (denoted M_2) and is a particular case of the generalized mean. The RMS of a continuously varying function (denoted f_\mathrm) can be defined in terms of an integral of the squares of the instantaneous values during a cycle. For alternating electric current, RMS is equal to the value of the constant direct current that would produce the same power dissipation in a resistive load. In estimation theory, the root-mean-square deviation of an estimator is a measure of the imperfection of the fit of the estimator to the data. Definition The RMS value of a set of values (or a continuous-time waveform) is the square root of the arithmetic mean of the squares of the values, or th ...

Critical Line Theorem
In mathematics, the Riemann hypothesis is the conjecture that the Riemann zeta function has its zeros only at the negative even integers and complex numbers with real part . Many consider it to be the most important unsolved problem in pure mathematics. It is of great interest in number theory because it implies results about the distribution of prime numbers. It was proposed by , after whom it is named. The Riemann hypothesis and some of its generalizations, along with Goldbach's conjecture and the twin prime conjecture, make up Hilbert's eighth problem in David Hilbert's list of twenty-three unsolved problems; it is also one of the Clay Mathematics Institute's Millennium Prize Problems, which offers a million dollars to anyone who solves any of them. The name is also used for some closely related analogues, such as the Riemann hypothesis for curves over finite fields. The Riemann zeta function ζ(''s'') is a function whose argument ''s'' may be any complex number othe ...

Incomplete Gamma Function
In mathematics, the upper and lower incomplete gamma functions are types of special functions which arise as solutions to various mathematical problems such as certain integrals. Their respective names stem from their integral definitions, which are defined similarly to the gamma function but with different or "incomplete" integral limits. The gamma function is defined as an integral from zero to infinity. This contrasts with the lower incomplete gamma function, which is defined as an integral from zero to a variable upper limit. Similarly, the upper incomplete gamma function is defined as an integral from a variable lower limit to infinity. Definition The upper incomplete gamma function is defined as: \Gamma(s,x) = \int_x^ t^\,e^\, dt , whereas the lower incomplete gamma function is defined as: \gamma(s,x) = \int_0^x t^\,e^\, dt . In both cases is a complex parameter, such that the real part of is positive. Properties By integration by parts we find the recurrence relat ...

Real Analytic Function
In mathematics, an analytic function is a function that is locally given by a convergent power series. There exist both real analytic functions and complex analytic functions. Functions of each type are infinitely differentiable, but complex analytic functions exhibit properties that do not generally hold for real analytic functions. A function is analytic if and only if its Taylor series about ''x''0 converges to the function in some neighborhood for every ''x''0 in its domain. Definitions Formally, a function f is ''real analytic'' on an open set D in the real line if for any x_0\in D one can write : f(x) = \sum_^\infty a_ \left( x-x_0 \right)^ = a_0 + a_1 (x-x_0) + a_2 (x-x_0)^2 + a_3 (x-x_0)^3 + \cdots in which the coefficients a_0, a_1, \dots are real numbers and the series is convergent to f(x) for x in a neighborhood of x_0. Alternatively, a real analytic function is an infinitely differentiable function such that the Taylor series at any point x_0 in its domai ...

Riemann–Siegel Theta Function
In mathematics, the Riemann–Siegel theta function is defined in terms of the gamma function as :\theta(t) = \arg \left( \Gamma\left(\frac+\frac\right) \right) - \frac t for real values of ''t''. Here the argument is chosen in such a way that a continuous function is obtained and \theta(0)=0 holds, i.e., in the same way that the principal branch of the log-gamma function is defined. It has an asymptotic expansion :\theta(t) \sim \frac\log \frac - \frac - \frac+\frac+ \frac+\cdots which is not convergent, but whose first few terms give a good approximation for t \gg 1. Its Taylor-series at 0 which converges for , t, 6.29, and has local extrema at \pm 6.289835988\ldots, with value \mp 3.530972829\ldots. It has a single inflection point at t=0 with \theta^\prime(0)= -\frac = -2.6860917\ldots, which is the minimum of its derivative. Theta as a function of a complex variable We have an infinite series expression for the log-gamma function :\log \Gamma \left(z\right) = -\g ...

Hardy-Littlewood Zeta-function Conjectures
A twin prime is a prime number that is either 2 less or 2 more than another prime number—for example, either member of the twin prime pair (41, 43). In other words, a twin prime is a prime that has a prime gap of two. Sometimes the term ''twin prime'' is used for a pair of twin primes; an alternative name for this is prime twin or prime pair. Twin primes become increasingly rare as one examines larger ranges, in keeping with the general tendency of gaps between adjacent primes to become larger as the numbers themselves get larger. However, it is unknown whether there are infinitely many twin primes (the so-called twin prime conjecture) or if there is a largest pair. The breakthrough work of Yitang Zhang in 2013, as well as work by James Maynard, Terence Tao and others, has made substantial progress towards proving that there are infinitely many twin primes, but at present this remains unsolved. Properties Usually the pair (2, 3) is not considered to be a pair of twin primes. ...
