Hurwitz Zeta Function - Relation To Jacobi Theta Function

Relation To Jacobi Theta Function

If is the Jacobi theta function, then

\int_0^\infty \left t^{s/2} \frac{dt}{t}= \pi^{-(1-s)/2} \Gamma \left( \frac {1-s}{2} \right) \left

holds for and z complex, but not an integer. For z=n an integer, this simplifies to

\int_0^\infty \left t^{s/2} \frac{dt}{t}= 2\ \pi^{-(1-s)/2} \ \Gamma \left( \frac {1-s}{2} \right) \zeta(1-s) =2\ \pi^{-s/2} \ \Gamma \left( \frac {s}{2} \right) \zeta(s).

where ΞΆ here is the Riemann zeta function. Note that this latter form is the functional equation for the Riemann zeta function, as originally given by Riemann. The distinction based on z being an integer or not accounts for the fact that the Jacobi theta function converges to the Dirac delta function in z as .

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation, jacobi and/or function:

    “Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash.”
    —Louis Aragon (1897–1982)

    “The psychoanalysis of individual human beings, however, teaches us with quite special insistence that the god of each of them is formed in the likeness of his father, that his personal relation to God depends on his relation to his father in the flesh and oscillates and changes along with that relation, and that at bottom God is nothing other than an exalted father.”
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    “... spinsterhood [is considered to be] an abnormality of small proportions and small consequence, something like an extra finger or two on the body, presumably of temporary duration, and never of any social significance.”
    —Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)

    “The more books we read, the clearer it becomes that the true function of a writer is to produce a masterpiece and that no other task is of any consequence.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
