Zeta and Related Functions

Description

Compute the Riemann zeta function, the Hurwitz zeta function, or Lerch's transcendent. Lerch's transcendent \Phi(z, s, a) is defined by

\sum_{k = 0}^{\infty} \frac{z^{k}}{(k + a)^{s}}

for |z| < 1 and by analytic continuation elsewhere in the z-plane. The Riemann and Hurwitz zeta functions are the special cases \zeta(s) = \Phi(1, s, 1) and \zeta(s, a) = \Phi(1, s, a), respectively. See the references for restrictions on s and a.

Usage

arb_dirichlet_zeta(s, prec = flintPrec())
acb_dirichlet_zeta(s, prec = flintPrec())

arb_dirichlet_hurwitz(s, a = 1, prec = flintPrec())
acb_dirichlet_hurwitz(s, a = 1, prec = flintPrec())

## arb_dirichlet_lerch_phi(z = 1, s, a = 1, prec = flintPrec())
   acb_dirichlet_lerch_phi(z = 1, s, a = 1, prec = flintPrec())

Arguments

z, s, a	numeric, complex, arb, or acb vectors.
prec	a numeric or slong vector indicating the desired precision as a number of bits.

Value

An arb or acb vector storing function values with error bounds. Its length is the maximum of the lengths of the arguments or zero (zero if any argument has length zero). The arguments are recycled as necessary.

## Somewhat famous particular values :
debugging <- tolower(Sys.getenv("R_FLINT_CHECK_EXTRA")) == "true"
     s <- .acb(x = c(   -1,    0,      2,       4))
zeta.s <- .acb(x = c(-1/12, -1/2, pi^2/6, pi^4/90))
stopifnot(all.equal(dzet(   s   ), zeta.s),
          all.equal(dhur(   s, 1), zeta.s),
          !debugging ||
          {
          print(cbind(as.complex(dler(1, s, 1)), as.complex(zeta.s)))
          all.equal(dler(1, s, 1), zeta.s) # FLINT bug, report this
          })

set.seed(0xabcdL)
r <- 10L
eps <- 0x1p-4
a    <- flint:::complex.runif(r, modulus = c(    0, 1/eps))
z.l1 <- flint:::complex.runif(r, modulus = c(    0, 1-eps))
z.g1 <- flint:::complex.runif(r, modulus = c(1+eps, 1/eps))
z <- .acb(x = c(z.l1, z.g1))

## A relation with the hypergeometric function from
##   http://dlmf.nist.gov/25.14.E3_3 :
h2f1 <- acb_hypgeom_2f1
stopifnot(all.equal(dler(z.l1, 1, a), h2f1(a, 1, a + 1, z.l1)/a))

## TODO: test values also for z[Mod(z) > 1] ...
