| Apr 17, 2013 at 17:59 | comment | added | Matt Young | I had the recollection that when a central value is zero, then the critical value refers to the value of the $k$-th derivative of the $L$-function at the central point, where $k$ is the smallest integer where the $k$-th derivative is non-zero. I have no memory of where I've seen this terminology, but maybe someone else can chime in. | |
