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 $$\zeta(s)\zeta(s - 1) \cdots\zeta(s - n + 1) = \sum\limits_{m = 1}^\infty \frac{f_n(m)}{m^s} $$ This ...

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 ...

Prime races in two competing arithmetic progressions - error bound

I read an article by Andrew Granville on the subject, there's actually quite a bit of recent literature on the topic. My problem is as follows. I have two sequences of primes: $(p_{1,n})$ and $(p_{3,n}...

Zeros of Dirichlet function $L(s,\chi_4)$

I am wondering if there are some know results for the non-trivial roots at ${\rm Re}(s) = \frac{1}{2}$, even maybe a table of the first few roots with $t>0$. This sister function $$ L_4^* (s,\chi_4)...

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 ...

Bounds and repulsion domains for the Dirichlet eta function $\eta(\sigma+it)$, for fixed $\sigma$

Let $\eta(\sigma+it)$ be the Dirichlet eta function, with $t>0$ (the variable) and $\sigma$ be fixed, with $\frac{1}{2}\leq \sigma <2$. I define the hole $\Omega_T =\Omega_T(\sigma)$ as the ...

Abscissa of convergence of transformed Dirichlet series

Let $$F(s)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{f(k)}{k^s} \mbox{ and }F^*(s)=\sum_{k=2}^\infty \frac{f(k)g(k)}{k^s},$$ where the infinite sum $\sum f(k)$ diverges, $f(k)$ and $g(k)$ are real numbers, $s$ a ...

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(\...

On a certain integral representation for Dirichlet L-functions

It is an ancient result of Jensen that $$(s-1)\zeta(s)=\frac{\pi}{2} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{(1/2+it)^{1-s}}{\cosh^{2}\pi t} \mathrm{d}t$$ where $\zeta$ denotes the Riemann zeta function. Is ...

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} = ...
