Hadamard product for the Riemann zeta function

savecancel

First you need to install Odlyzko's database of zeta zeros. In a terminal, type:

$ sage -i database_odlyzko_zeta

The command

sage: zeta_zeros()

will then give you a list of the imaginary parts of the first 100,000 non trivial zeros of zeta. Note that as usual, the list is indexed from 0.

The information page about this package also warns: Note that only the first 9 digits after the decimal come from the database. Subsequent digits are the result of the inherent imprecision of a binary representation of decimal numbers. So you should have that in mind and check how this affects precision in your product.

Then you can do the following:

sage: def rho(k):
....:     return CC(0.5,zeta_zeros()[k])
....: 
sage: def a(x):
....:     return (CC(1.,0.)-x)*exp(x)
....: 
sage: def p(s,n):
....:     return prod(a(s/rho(k))*a(s/(CC(1.,0.)-rho(k))) for k in (0..n))
....: 
sage: p(0.5,2)
1.00221605640651
sage: p(0.5,20)
1.00403653183532
sage: p(0.5,200)
1.00527298745769
sage: p(0.5,2000)
1.00567828272459

If you plan to use large values of n, you might want to use Cython to speed up computation, but you should probably first check what precision the computations really give you.
