NumberTheory`Ramanujan`

The Riemann function

is the simplest of all Dirichlet series. Ramanujan studied the Dirichlet series

where the are the coefficients of in the series expansion

Just as there is the Riemann hypothesis that all of the nontrivial zeros of the lie on the critical line , there is a conjecture due to Ramanujan that all of the nontrivial zeros of lie on the critical line . The function satisfies the functional equation

Just as can be split into

where is RiemannSiegelZ and is RiemannSiegelTheta, can split into

Functions related to the Ramanujan -Dirichlet series.

The Ramanujan -Dirichlet series is rather difficult to evaluate, especially far up the critical line . This package does not provide any great new method to help with this effort, but it does use the fastest methods known.

This loads the package.

In[1]:=

This gives .

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

This gives the first five terms in the generating function RamanujanTauGeneratingFunction[z].

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

The generating function can be evaluated numerically.

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

The generating function can be evaluated numerically even at some points outside the radius of convergence. This uses a functional equation to achieve analytic continuation.

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

Here is the value of the -Dirichlet series near the first zero on the critical line.

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

This is the value of near the same zero.

In[7]:=

Out[7]=

This is the value of .

In[8]:=

Out[8]=

Here is the value of the -Dirichlet series again.

In[9]:=
