The non-trivial zeros of $\zeta^{k}(s)$, with $k=k^{th}$ derivative, do not lie on a line and seem to be distributed randomly in the region $\sigma > \frac12$. However the non-real zeros in the critical strip of:
$$\zeta^{k}(s) \pm \zeta^{k}(1-s)$$
all appear to reside on the critical line (with maybe a finite number of exceptions lying outside the critical strip). Could this be proven with similar techniques as outlined here $\zeta(s)-\zeta(1-s)$ ?
The reason I ask is that Speiser(1934), Levinson & Montgomery (1974) and recently Yildirim have proven that assuming RH, $\zeta^{1}(s)$, $\zeta^{2}(s)$ and $\zeta^{3}(s)$ have no zeros in $0 < \Re(s) < \frac12$, but also that the number of zeros of $\zeta^{k}(s)$ residing in the region $\Re(s) < \frac12$, must be finite (there is actually only one pair found for $\zeta^{2}(s)$ and $\zeta^{3}(s)$ in $\Re(s) < 0$).
Now suppose $k=1..3$ and it can indeed be proven that all zeros of $\zeta^{k}(s) \pm \zeta^{k}(1-s)$ must lie on the critical line, then the only possibility for a zero of $\zeta^{k}(s)$ to hide in $0 < \Re(s) < \frac12$ (and thereby falsifying the RH), is when $\zeta^{k}(s)=\zeta^{k}(1-s)=0$. This then immediately raises the second question on whether contrary to $\zeta(s)$ and the absence of a reflexive functional equation for its derivatives, it could be shown that when $\zeta^{k}(s)$ is a zero, $\zeta^{k}(1-s)$ cannot be one?
