Fractal and Fractional, Volume 6, Issue 6

2022 June - 62 articles

Cover Story: Modern number theory goes hand in hand with experimental mathematics. One of the main open problems of analytic number theory—the Riemann hypothesis on the location of zeros of the Riemann zeta function—belongs to the class of problems extensively examined with computer-assisted methods. Hence, to investigate zeta functions numerically, one needs an algorithm enabling them to compute values over the complex plane effectively. We have expanded the research of efficient algorithms for zeta functions and obtained limit theorems, which allowed the introduction of asymptotic approximations, providing a considerable speedup in calculations. Presented algorithms are applied to produce color and fractal visualizations, illustrating underlying structures associated with the Riemann zeta function. View this paper
