The Riemann-Siegel integral formula for the Mellin transform of cusp forms (Q1383704)

One of the known proofs of the functional equation of Riemann's zeta-function (the ``seventh method'' in Titchmarsh's book) is based on the Riemann-Siegel integral formula, reproduced by Siegel from the notes of Riemann. The author derives an analogous integral formula for a cusp form \(L\)-function, expressing it in terms of the cusp form itself. This result is applied to a proof of the approximate functional equation for the cusp form \(L\)-function; a different proof has been given by the reviewer [\textit{M. Jutila}, Q. J. Math., Oxf. (2) 37, 193-209 (1986; Zbl 0589.10042)].
