On A Rapidly Converging Series For The Riemann Zeta Function    [PDF]

Alois Pichler

To evaluate Riemann's zeta function is important for many investigations
related to the area of number theory, and to have quickly converging series at
hand in particular. We investigate a class of summation formulae and find, as a
special case, a new proof of a rapidly converging series for the Riemann zeta
function. The series converges in the entire complex plane, its rate of
convergence being significantly faster than comparable representations, and so
is a useful basis for evaluation algorithms. The evaluation of corresponding
coefficients is not problematic, and precise convergence rates are elaborated
in detail. The globally converging series obtained allow to reduce Riemann's
hypothesis to similar properties on polynomials. And interestingly, Laguerre's
polynomials form a kind of leitmotif through all sections.
