Can one show $h(x)=|2(\zeta'(x))^2-\zeta''(x)\zeta(x)|$ is a decreasing function for $x\in\mathbb{R}\cap [1,\infty)$?
This question is related to This question.
When I tried to approach it I couldn't even proof that the LHS is a decreasing function on the given domain using regular methods. I have tried to write the ...

Accentuating the appearance of convergence of the Möbius function Dirichlet series on the line $\sigma = \frac{2}{3}$ in the critical strip
Set the constant $c$ to:
$$c = -\frac{3}{4}$$
which is in the interval: $$-1 < c < 0$$
and let the matrix $A$ be:
$$A(n,k)=[k|n] - [n=k](1+c)$$
Then form the matrix power series:
$$M=\sum _{n \...

Convergence and meromorphic continuation of a Dirichlet series under RH
Consider a Dirichlet series $F(s) = \sum_{n\geq1} \frac{a_{n}}{n^{s}}$ such that $a_{n} = O(1)$. Suppose the Dirichlet series
$$\zeta(s)F(s)=\sum_{n\geq1} \frac{(a\star1)(n)}{n^{s}}$$
converges ...

A sharper estimate for a generalization of the sum-of-divisors function
I am interested in the function $f_n(m)$ which can be defined by the Dirichlet generating function $$\zeta(s)\zeta(s - 1) \cdots\zeta(s - n + 1) = \sum\limits_{m = 1}^\infty \frac{f_n(m)}{m^s} $$

Approximating $\zeta'/\zeta$ (and its derivatives) by a finite sum
Let $A(s) = (-\zeta'/\zeta)^{(r)}(s) = \sum_n a_n n^{-s}$, where $r\geq 0$. (We can consider $r=0$ first for simplicity.) Say I want to approximate $A(s)$ for $s=1+it$ by a finite sum - preferably a ...

How to best approximate $1/\zeta(s)$ by a finite sum
I would like to approximate $1/\zeta(s)$ for $s=1+it$ by a finite sum:
$$\frac{1}{\zeta(1+it)} = \sum_n \frac{\mu(n)}{n} \eta\left(\frac{n}{x}\right) +
\epsilon(t)$$
with $\eta$ a function of compact ...

What is the dirichlet series of $f(n)=\sum_{d | n}(\log d) / d$ function? [closed]
My opinion is ;
We may use id(d)=d arithmetic function and log*id dirichlet convolution in the question.
i thought that ; when we multiply and divide n with $(\log d) / d$ we obtain
$F(S)=\sum_{n=...

If $\zeta(s)=0$ with $\Re(s)=\frac{1}{2}$, is then $|\hat{\zeta}(s,3)|^2=\frac{1}{2}$?
Helmut Hasse has proved that for $s \in \mathbb{C}-\{1\}$ the Riemann zeta function can be written as:
$$\zeta(s)=\frac{1}{1-2^{1-s}}\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{1}{2^{n+1}}\sum_{k=0}^n(-1)^k\ {n \choose k}...

Error term when truncating series for $1/\zeta(s)$
Let $s=\sigma+it$, $0\leq \sigma\leq 1$, $|t|\geq 1$, say. Using Euler-Maclaurin, one can easily show that, for $x\geq |t|$,
$$\zeta(s) = \sum_{n\leq x} \frac{1}{n^s} + \frac{x^{1-s}}{s-1} + O\left(\...

where $\zeta$ denotes the Riemann zeta function.

On the convergence of Dirichlet series over the Mobius Mu function
It is known that if $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{\mu(k)}{k^s} = \frac{1}{\zeta(s)}$ for $\Re(s) > 1/2$ then RH holds. My question is:
Under RH why is it not $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{\mu(k)}{k^s} = ...
