Turing's method

In mathematics, Turing's method is used to verify that for any given Gram point g_m there lie m + 1 zeros of ζ(s), in the region 0 < Im(s) < Im(g_m), where ζ(s) is the Riemann zeta function. It was discovered by Alan Turing and published in 1953, although that proof contained errors and a correction was published in 1970 by R. Sherman Lehman.

For every integer i with i < n we find a list of Gram points $\{g_i\mid 0⩽i⩽m\}$ and a complementary list $\{h_i\mid 0⩽i⩽m\}$, where g_i is the smallest number such that

$(-1{)}^{i}Z(g_i+h_i)>0,$

where Z(t) is the Hardy Z function. Note that g_i may be negative or zero. Assuming that $h_m=0$ and there exists some integer k such that $h_k=0$, then if

$1+\frac{1.91+0.114\log (g_{m+k}/2\pi )+\sum _{j=m+1}^{m+k-1}{h}_j}{g_{m+k}-g_m}<2,$

and

$-1-\frac{1.91+0.114\log (g_m/2\pi )+\sum _{j=1}^{k-1}{h}_{m-j}}{g_m-g_{m-k}}>-2,$

Then the bound is achieved and we have that there are exactly m + 1 zeros of ζ(s), in the region 0 < Im(s) < Im(g_m).
