We characterize nonempty open subsets of the complex plane where the sum ζ(s, α) + e ±iπs ζ(s, 1 − α) of Hurwitz zeta functions has no zeros in s for all 0 α 1. This problem is motivated by the construction of fundamental cardinal splines of complex order s.
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.
