An amortized-complexity method to compute the Riemann zeta function

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A practical method to compute the Riemann zeta function is presented. The method can compute zeta(1/2+it) at any lfloorT1/4floor points in [T,T+T1/4] using an average time of T1/4+o(1) per point. This is the same complexity as the Odlyzko-Sch"onhage algorithm over that interval. Although the method far from competes with the Odlyzko-Sch"onhage algorithm over intervals much longer than T1/4, it still has the advantages of being elementary, simple to implement, it does not use the fast Fourier transform or require large amounts of storage space, and its error terms are easy to control. The method has been implemented, and results of timing experiments agree with its theoretical amortized complexity of T1/4+o(1).
