Algorithms of filtration and extrapolation for discrete-time dynamical systems

The bases of theory and the recursive filtration algorithms ensuring the guaranteed precision of estimate for an extrapolated state of a dynamic system are described. A determined precision is ensured by corresponding choice of algorithm parameters.The different algorithms of filtration and extrapolation are investigated. These algorithms may be used in constructing tracking systems, organizing of corresponding measurements and estimation of parameters in information systems.     

An attempt to interpret the Weil explicit formula from Beurling's spectral theory

A. Beurling introduced the celebrated problem of spectral synthesis. Roughly speaking, it is a problem whether functions belonging to a certain Banach space have a possibility to be approximated by trigonometric polynomials in the appropriate topology. For this problem Beurling introduced the concept of spectral sets whose elements are regarded as exponents of trigonometric polynomials. In the Weil explicit formula we can see a certain phenomenon which may be related to Beurling's spectral sets. The purpose of this paper is to study the phenomenon.     

On Montgomery's conjecture and the distribution of Dirichlet sums

A new version of Montgomery's conjecture (1971) on the estimation of Dirichlet sums is disproved by means of a modification of the idea of “short sums” (due to Bourgain, 1991). We also study the distribution of the values of Dirichlet's “long sums”.     

The analytic continuation and the asymptotic behaviour of certain multiple zeta-functions I

We consider general multiple zeta-functions of multi-variables, including both Barnes multiple zeta-functions and Euler-Zagier sums as special cases. We prove the meromorphic continuation to the whole space, asymptotic expansions, and upper bound estimates. These results are expected to have applications to some arithmetical L-functions (such as of Hecke and of Shintani). The method is based on the classical Mellin-Barnes integral formula.     

The Fourier inversion and the Riemann functional equation

We prove that the Riemann functional equation can be recovered by the Mellin transforms of essentially all the absolutely integrable functions. The present analysis shows also that the Riemann functional equation is equivalent to the Fourier inversion formula. We introduce the notion of a λ-pair of absolutely integrable functions and show that the components of the λ-pair satisfy an identity involving convolution type products.     

Müntz formula and zero free regions for the Riemann zeta function

A formula first derived by Müntz which relates the Riemann zeta function ζ times the Mellin transform of a test function f and the Mellin transform of the theta transform of f is exploited, together with other analytic techniques, to construct zero free regions for ζ(s) with s in the critical strip. Among these are regions with a shape independent of Res.     

Omega result for the mean square of the Riemann zeta function

A recent method of Soundararajan enables one to obtain improved Ω-result for finite series of the form ∑_nf(n) cos (2πλ_nx+β) where 0≤λ₁≤λ₂≤. . . and β are real numbers and the coefficients f(n) are all non-negative. In this paper, Soundararajan’s method is adapted to obtain improved Ω-result for E(t), the remainder term in the mean-square formula for the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line. The Atkinson series for E(t) is of the above type, but with an oscillating factor (−1)ⁿ attached to each of its terms.     

Computation of Weng's rank 2 zeta function over an algebraic number field

In this paper, we study the zeta function, named non-abelian zeta function, defined by Lin Weng. We can represent Weng's rank r zeta function of an algebraic number field F as the integration of the Eisenstein series over the moduli space of the semi-stable OF-lattices with rank r. For r=2, in the case of F=Q, Weng proved that it can be written by the Riemann zeta function, and Lagarias and Suzuki proved that it satisfies the Riemann hypothesis. These results were generalized by the author to imaginary quadratic fields and by Lin Weng to general number fields. This paper presents proofs of both these results. It derives a formula (first found by Weng) for Weng's rank 2 zeta functions for general number fields, and then proves the Riemann hypothesis holds for such zeta functions.     

Addison-type series representation for the Stieltjes constants

The Stieltjes constants γk(a) appear in the coefficients in the regular part of the Laurent expansion of the Hurwitz zeta function ζ(s,a) about its only pole at s=1. We generalize a technique of Addison for the Euler constant γ=γ₀(1) to show its application to finding series representations for these constants. Other generalizations of representations of γ are given.     

On Li's criterion for the Riemann hypothesis for the Selberg class

Text

In this paper, we shall prove a generalization of Li's positivity criterion for the Riemann hypothesis for the extended Selberg class with an Euler sum. We shall also obtain two arithmetic expressions for Li's constants , where the sum is taken over all non-trivial zeros of the function F and the indicates that the sum is taken in the sense of the limit as T→∞ of the sum over ρ with |Imρ|?T. The first expression of λF(n), for functions in the extended Selberg class, having an Euler sum is given terms of analogues of Stieltjes constants (up to some gamma factors). The second expression, for functions in the Selberg class, non-vanishing on the line , is given in terms of a certain limit of the sum over primes.

On Euler numbers, polynomials and related p-adic integrals

In this note we give a new proof of Witt's formula for Euler numbers, which are related to some known or new identities involving the Euler numbers. We also obtain a brief proof of a classical result on Euler numbers modulo of two due to M.A. Stern using the approach of p-adic integration, which was recently proved by G. Liu, and Z.-W. Sun. Finally some explicit formulas for Genocchi numbers are proved and applications are given.     

On some series representations of the Hurwitz zeta function

A variety of infinite series representations for the Hurwitz zeta function are obtained. Particular cases recover known results, while others are new. Specialization of the series representations apply to the Riemann zeta function, leading to additional results. The method is briefly extended to the Lerch zeta function. Most of the series representations exhibit fast convergence, making them attractive for the computation of special functions and fundamental constants.     

Asymptotic behavior of some power series with ζ-functions in the coefficients

The asymptotic behaviors of four closely related special cases of power series with -functions in the coefficients have appeared in the literature. A function which involves a real parameter is introduced; the parameter can be specialized to produce all of these special cases. The asymptotic behavior is obtained for this function for all real values of the parameter.     

Beurling primes with large oscillation

A Beurling generalized number system is constructed having integer counting function N_B(x) = κx +O(x^θ) with κ>0 and 1/2 <θ <1, whose prime counting function satisfies the oscillation estimate π_B(x) =li(x) + Ω(xexp(-c)), and whose zeta function has infinitely many zeros on the curve σ=1−a/logt, t≥2, and no zero to the right of this curve, where a is chosen so that a>(4/e)(1−θ). The construction uses elements of classical analytic number theory and probability. The author was supported in part by NSF grants DMS-0070720 and DMS-0244660.

Dirichlet series associated with polynomials and applications

We consider the possibility of the analytic continuation of the Dirichlet series SP;Z(s) associated with a polynomial P(x) and auxiliary series Z(s). In fact, we derive a certain criterion for the analytic continuation for some class of polynomials and give examples such that SP;Z(s) cannot be continued meromorphically to the whole plane C. We also study the asymptotic behaviors of the sum MP(x)=_∑P(n₁,…,nk)?xΛ(n₁)?Λ(nk) considered first by M. Peter. Generalizations of this sum are also considered.     

Large spaces between the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function and random matrix theory

On the hypothesis that the 2k-th mixed moments of Hardy's Z-function and its derivative are correctly predicted by random matrix theory, it is established that large gaps (depending on, and apparently increasing with k) exist between the zeta zeros. The case k=3 has been worked out in an earlier paper (in this journal) and the cases k=4,5,6 are considered here. When k=6 the gaps obtained have >4 times the average gap length. This depends on calculations involving Jacobi-Schur functions and formulae for these functions due to Jacobi, Trudi and Aitken in the classical theory of equations.     

A generating function of higher-dimensional Apostol-Zagier sums and its reciprocity law

We introduce higher-dimensional Dedekind sums with a complex parameter z, generalizing Zagier's higher-dimensional Dedekind sums. The sums tend to Zagier's higher-dimensional Dedekind sums as z→∞. We show that the sums turn out to be generating functions of higher-dimensional Apostol-Zagier sums which are defined to be hybrids of Apostol's sums and Zagier's sums. We prove reciprocity law for the sums. The new reciprocity law includes reciprocity formulas for both Apostol and Zagier's sums as its special case. Furthermore, as its application we obtain relations between special values of Hurwitz zeta function and Bernoulli numbers, as well as new trigonometric identities.     

An arithmetic formula for certain coefficients of the Euler product of Hecke polynomials

In 1997 the author found a criterion for the Riemann hypothesis for the Riemann zeta function, involving the nonnegativity of certain coefficients associated with the Riemann zeta function. In 1999 Bombieri and Lagarias obtained an arithmetic formula for these coefficients using the “explicit formula” of prime number theory. In this paper, the author obtains an arithmetic formula for corresponding coefficients associated with the Euler product of Hecke polynomials, which is essentially a product of L-functions attached to weight 2 cusp forms (both newforms and oldforms) over Hecke congruence subgroups Γ₀(N). The nonnegativity of these coefficients gives a criterion for the Riemann hypothesis for all these L-functions at once.     

The joint universality theorem for a pair of Hurwitz zeta functions

In this paper we investigate the joint functional distribution for a pair of Hurwitz zeta functions ζ(s,αj) (j=1,2) in the case that real transcendental numbers α₁ and α₂ satisfy α₂∈Q(α₁). Especially we establish the joint universality theorem for these zeta functions.
