In mathematics, the Z-function is a function used for studying the Riemann zeta-function along the critical line where the real part of the argument is one-half. It is also called the Riemann-Siegel Z-function, the Riemann-Siegel zeta-function, the Hardy function, the Hardy Z-function and the Hardy zeta-function. It can be defined in terms of the Riemann-Siegel theta-function and the Riemann zeta-function by : 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 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 the critical strip also. Moreover, the real zeros of Z(''t'') are precisely the zeros of the zeta-function along the critical line, and complex zeros in the Z-function critical strip correspond to zeros off the critical line of the Riemann zeta-function in its critical strip. ==The Riemann-Siegel formula== Calculation of the value of Z(t) for real t, and hence of the zeta-function along the critical line, is greatly expedited by the Riemann–Siegel formula. This formula tells us : where the error term R(t) has a complex asymptotic expression in terms of the function : and its derivatives. If , and then : where the ellipsis indicates we may continue on to higher and increasingly complex terms. Other efficient series for Z(t) are known, in particular several using the incomplete gamma function. If : then an especially nice example is : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Z function」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
