While not derived as a Riemann sum, taking the average of the left and right Riemann sums is the trapezoidal rule and gives a trapezoidal sum. It is one of the simplest of a very general way of approximating integrals using weighted averages. This is followed in complexity by Simpson's rule and Newton–Cotes formulas.
The main term on the left is Φ(1); which turns out to be the dominant terms of the prime number theorem, and the main correction is the sum over non-trivial zeros of the zeta function. (There is a minor technical problem in using this case, in that the function F does not satisfy the smoothness condition.)
The trapezoidal rule may be viewed as the result obtained by averaging the left and right Riemann sums, and is sometimes defined this way. The integral can be even better approximated by partitioning the integration interval, applying the trapezoidal rule to each subinterval, and summing the results. In practice, this "chained" (or "composite ...
One popular restriction is the use of "left-hand" and "right-hand" Riemann sums. In a left-hand Riemann sum, t i = x i for all i, and in a right-hand Riemann sum, t i = x i + 1 for all i. Alone this restriction does not impose a problem: we can refine any partition in a way that makes it a left-hand or right-hand sum by subdividing it at each t i.
Like the Riemann zeta function, the multiple zeta functions can be analytically continued to be meromorphic functions (see, for example, Zhao (1999)). When s 1, ..., s k are all positive integers (with s 1 > 1) these sums are often called multiple zeta values (MZVs) or Euler sums. These values can also be regarded as special values of the ...
The formula shows that the L-function of χ is equal to the L-function of the primitive character which induces χ, multiplied by only a finite number of factors. [6] As a special case, the L-function of the principal character modulo q can be expressed in terms of the Riemann zeta function: [7] [8]
where G(χ) is a Gauss sum formed from χ. This equation has the same function on both sides if and only if χ is a real character, taking values in {0,1,−1}. Then ε must be 1 or −1, and the case of the value −1 would imply a zero of Λ(s) at s = ½.
In mathematics, the Riemann–Liouville integral associates with a real function: another function I α f of the same kind for each value of the parameter α > 0.The integral is a manner of generalization of the repeated antiderivative of f in the sense that for positive integer values of α, I α f is an iterated antiderivative of f of order α.
