TCplx RiemannZeta(TCplx Z, Int32 n)

Riemann Zeta function.

#NameDescription
1Zcomplex value at which the Riemann zeta function is evaluated.
2nnumber of terms used in the complex series approximation (default 64).

Returns: TCplx (complex) - the Riemann zeta function evaluated at the complex point Z.

Remarks:

The Riemann zeta function of a complex variable z is initially defined by the series

zeta(z) = sum_(n=1)^(inf)1/n^z ,

for Re(z) > 1, and is analytically continued to all complex z != 1 through the functional equation

zeta(z) = 2^z pi^(z-1) sin((pi z)/2) Gamma(1-z) zeta(1-z) .

It is related to the Dirichlet lambda and eta functions by

zeta(z)/2^z = lambda(z)/(2^z-1) = eta(z)/(2^z-2) .

Domain: any complex Z with z != 1. Defined behavior: it is computed as zeta(z)=eta(z) 2^z/(2^z-2) from the accelerated Dew.Math.Units.Probabilities.DirichletEta; at z=1 (the simple pole) the result is complex infinity. On the real axis the imaginary part of the result is zero, and the function is strictly decreasing for real z > 1. Known values: zeta(2)=pi^2/6, zeta(4)=pi^4/90.
