The positivity of a sequence of numbers and the Riemann hypothesis (Q1363105)

Let \[ \xi(s)= s(s- 1)\pi^{-s/2} \Gamma\Biggl({s\over 2}\Biggr) \zeta(s)\quad\text{and}\quad\lambda_n= {1\over(n- 1)!} {d^n\over ds^n} [s^{n-1}\log \xi(s)]_{s= 1}. \] It is shown that the Riemann Hypothesis holds if and only if \(\lambda_n\geq 0\) for all \(n\geq 1\). An analogous result is also proved for the Dedekind zeta-function.
