Theta Function - Relation To The Riemann Zeta Function

Relation To The Riemann Zeta Function

The relation

was used by Riemann to prove the functional equation for the Riemann zeta function, by means of the integral

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

which can be shown to be invariant under substitution of s by 1 − s. The corresponding integral for z not zero is given in the article on the Hurwitz zeta function.

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

    “Unaware of the absurdity of it, we introduce our own petty household rules into the economy of the universe for which the life of generations, peoples, of entire planets, has no importance in relation to the general development.”
    —Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

    “There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “... a worker was seldom so much annoyed by what he got as by what he got in relation to his fellow workers.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    “Uses are always much broader than functions, and usually far less contentious. The word function carries overtones of purpose and propriety, of concern with why something was developed rather than with how it has actually been found useful. The function of automobiles is to transport people and objects, but they are used for a variety of other purposes—as homes, offices, bedrooms, henhouses, jetties, breakwaters, even offensive weapons.”
    —Frank Smith (b. 1928)
