An improvement on the mean value formula for the approximate functional equation of the square of the Riemann zeta-function (Q1310833): Difference between revisions

Let \[ R(s;{t\over 2\pi}) = \zeta^ 2(s) - \sum_{n\leq t/2\pi}d(n)n^{-s} - \chi^ 2(s)\sum_{n\leq t/2\pi} d(n)n^{s-1} \] denote the error term in the approximate functional equation for \(\zeta^ 2(s)\), where \[ \chi(s) = {\zeta(s)\over\zeta(1-s)} = 2^ s\pi^{s-1}\sin\bigl({\pi s\over 2}\bigr)\Gamma(1-s). \] Improving an earlier result of the author and \textit{K. Matsumoto} [Acta Arith. 61, 337- 345 (1992; Zbl 0761.11035)] the author proves that \[ \int^ T_ 1\bigl| R({1\over 2} + it; {t\over 2\pi})\bigr|^ 2 dt = (2\pi)^{1/2}\sum^ \infty_{n=1}d^ 2(n)h^ 2(n)n^{-1/2}T^{1/2} + O(\log^ 5T) \] with \[ h(n) = ({2\over \pi})^{1/2}\int^ \infty_ 0 (y + n\pi)^{-1/2}\cos(y + {\pi\over 4})\;dy. \] The method of proof is based on the ideas of \textit{T. Meurman} [Q. J. Math., Oxf. II. Ser. 38, 337-343 (1987; Zbl 0624.10032)]. \{Reviewer's remark: Recently the reviewer [Acta Arith. 65, 137-145 (1993; Zbl 0781.11036)] obtained asymptotic formulas for power moments of \(| R({1\over 2}+it;{t\over 2\pi})|\), and in particular found a simple proof of (1)\}.
