| Abstract [eng] |
The doctoral dissertation contains the material of scientific investigations done in 2008-2012 in the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics at Vilnius University. The dissertation includes new theorems for the value distribution of Lerch and Selberg zeta-functions and computer calculations performed using the computational software program MATHEMATICA. The dissertation consists of the introduction, 3 chapters, the conclusions and the references. The results of the thesis are published in three scientific articles in Lithuanian and foreign journals, reported in scientific conferences in Lithuania and abroad and at the seminars of the department. In the first chapter, the limit theorems for several cases of the Lerch zeta-functions are proved. In the 1940s, Selberg proved that suitably normalized logarithm of modulus of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line has a standard normal distribution. Selberg's proof was based on the Euler product; however, in general, Lerch zeta-functions have no Euler product. In the second chapter, the theorem concerning the zero distribution of the Lerch transendent function is proved, and computer calculations of zeros in the region Re(s)>1 are performed using MATHEMATICA. In the third chapter, the monotonicity properties of Selberg zeta-functions are investigated. Monotonicity of these two functions is directly related to the location of zeros in the critical strip. The results are compared to the monotonicity properties of the Riemann zeta-function and the distribution of zeros. The zero distribution problem of the Riemann zeta-function is one of the most important unsolved problems in modern-day Mathematics. |
