Re: Memory usage for zeta()

Thanks for the help and extra information Karim! I'm going to have a play around with

the zetafast code on the weekend, especially with regards to the primezeta function.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_zeta_function

I've been looking at zeros of this in and off for the past 15+ years and it also spends the most

time when Re(n*x) ~0.5 in the analytical continuation function

pzz(x,n)=sum(n=1,n,moebius(n)*log(zeta(n*x))/n)

I've recently extended my search up to height 200000 which gave the memory problems in the new

version and prompted my question.

Andrew

PS took me a few years to try this with the log part only evaluated when moebius(n) != 0, gave a nice speed up!

pzz(x,n)=
{
local(sm,m,a);
sm=0;
for(m=1,n,a=moebius(m);if(a !=0, sm=sm+a*log(zeta(m*x))/m) );
return(sm);
}

Yes. Computing zeta() at this height with Euler-Maclaurin formula requires
computing *a lot* of Bernoulli numbers, B_2, ... B_{2N}. In 2.11 those were
computed (and stored) as floating point numbers; in 2.12, there are computed
(and stored) as exact rational numbers, for about the same cost. Of course,
since the size of Bernoulli numbers B_{2n} increase linearly with n, the new
cache size is quadratic in N, whereas it was linear in 2.11.

On the other hand, it now contains much more information, of course.

2.11:

Cheers,

P.S. See attached a preliminary implementation of the Zetafast algorithm,
written by Henri Cohen and myself, which doesn't need any Bernoulli number
and scales much better than Euler-Maclaurin as Im(s) increases.

Zetafast(D, s) computes L((D/.), s) for any (smallish) fundamental
discriminant D and any complex s in the critical strip in time
O_D(sqrt(|Im(s)|)) for fixed accuracy, so comparable to Rimann-Siegel [but
much simpler]. Whereas zeta(s) sums O(|Im(s)|) terms...

The implementation strives to be efficient outside of the critical strip so
it is quite a bit more complicated than necessary if 0 <= Re(s) <= 1.
