Zeta Function

In mathematics, a zeta function is (usually) a function analogous to the original example: the Riemann zeta function

Zeta functions include:

  • Airy zeta function, related to the zeros of the Airy function
  • Arithmetic zeta function
  • Artin–Mazur zeta-function of a dynamical system
  • Barnes zeta function
  • Beurling zeta function of Beurling generalized primes
  • Dedekind zeta-function of a number field
  • Epstein zeta-function of a quadratic form.
  • Goss zeta function of a function field
  • Hasse-Weil zeta-function of a variety
  • Height zeta function of a variety
  • Hurwitz zeta-function A generalization of the Riemann zeta function
  • Ihara zeta-function of a graph
  • Igusa zeta-function
  • Jacobi zeta function This is related to elliptic functions and is not analogous to the Riemann zeta function.
  • L-function, a 'twisted' zeta-function.
  • Lefschetz zeta-function of a morphism
  • Lerch zeta-function A generalization of the Riemann zeta function
  • Local zeta-function of a characteristic p variety
  • Matsumoto zeta function
  • Minakshisundaram–Pleijel zeta function of a Laplacian
  • Motivic zeta function of a motive
  • Mordell-Tornheim zeta-function of several variables
  • Multiple zeta function
  • p-adic zeta function of a p-adic number
  • Prime zeta function Like the Riemann zeta function, but only summed over primes.
  • Riemann zeta function The archetypal example.
  • Ruelle zeta function
  • Selberg zeta-function of a Riemann surface
  • Shimizu L-function
  • Shintani zeta function
  • Weierstrass zeta function This is related to elliptic functions and is not analogous to the Riemann zeta function.
  • Witten zeta function of a Lie group
  • Zeta function of an operator

Famous quotes containing the word function:

    If the children and youth of a nation are afforded opportunity to develop their capacities to the fullest, if they are given the knowledge to understand the world and the wisdom to change it, then the prospects for the future are bright. In contrast, a society which neglects its children, however well it may function in other respects, risks eventual disorganization and demise.
    Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
