This problem is closely related to a mixed moment of the Riemann zeta function and its derivative. We present a new approach which will uncover the lower order terms for the second moment as a descending chain of powers of logarithms in the asymptotic expansion.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-11-08T13:53:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11M06" ], "keywords": [ "riemann zeta function", "second moment", "local extrema", "lower order terms", "leading order behaviour" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
