  • Lattice Sums Then and Now

    by J. M. Borwein, M. L. Glasser, R. C. McPhedran, J. G. Wan, I. J. Zucker ...
    Series Book 150 - Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications
    The study of lattice sums began when early investigators wanted to go from mechanical properties of crystals to the properties of the atoms and ions from which they were built (the literature of Madelung's constant). A parallel literature was built around the optical properties of regular lattices of atoms (initiated by Lord Rayleigh, Lorentz and Lorenz). For over a century many famous scientists ... Read more

  • The Theory of Hardy's Z-Function

    by Aleksandar Ivić ...
    Series Book 196 - Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics
    Hardy's Z-function, related to the Riemann zeta-function ζ(s), was originally utilised by G. H. Hardy to show that ζ(s) has infinitely many zeros of the form ½+it. It is now amongst the most important functions of analytic number theory, and the Riemann hypothesis, that all complex zeros lie on the line ½+it, is perhaps one of the best known and most important open problems in mathematics. Today ... Read more
