The object of the following paper is to simplify the methods and formulas developed and used by Gram,t Lindelöf,^ and Backlund, § in numerical investigations connected with the roots of the Zeta function. I apply these to locating and calculating additional roots. I start with the formulas, as given by Backlund,
Two linearly independent integrals are fdx f(x-ßx)(x-ß2)dx Mi=Jy M'=J-?-• If for a particular value of x the corresponding values of y in the first, second, and third sheets of the surface are denoted by yx, y2, y3 respectively, we shall assume y2 = pyx, y3 = p2y2, where p = J(-1 + \/-3~). Denoting the moduli of periodicity of the integrals u" at the cuts a,, a2, bx, b2 by A*x, Av2, BvX, Bv2 respectively, one sees easily from the above figure that Ar2=-p"AvX, Bv2 = p*>BvX, and derives the following table of periods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
