New Book Challenges Long-Held Assumption about One of the World's Most Famous Math Problems
The Riemann Hypothesis and the Roots of the Riemann Zeta Function by Samuel W. Gilbert seeks to disprove historical assumption and claims a resolution of the Riemann hypothesis
VIENNA, Va. - Author Samuel W. Gilbert claims a resolution for one of the world's most important outstanding mathematical problems in a new book titled The Riemann Hypothesis and the Roots of the Riemann Zeta Function.
The Riemann hypothesis, according to Gilbert, has been unsolved for 150 years. In the book, Gilbert claims to disprove the long-held assumption that the Dirichlet series representation of the Riemann zeta function is not applicable for characterization of the non-trivial roots in the critical strip. He claims to demonstrate that although both the real and imaginary parts of the Dirichlet series representation of the Riemann zeta function diverge everywhere in the critical strip, the Dirichlet series representation of the zeta function converges to zero in a geometrical sense at the roots - and only at the roots - in the critical strip.
Targeted to mathematicians, The Riemann Hypothesis and the Roots of the Riemann Zeta Function explains why non-trivial roots occur in the Riemann zeta function, defines the roots mathematically, and claims a resolution of the Riemann hypothesis. "I was intrigued by the long-standing mathematical problem and became motivated to resolve it because I thought I had the correct approach" explains Gilbert.
