Re: Question on finding a Riemann Zeta function zero for high values of s

[American Citizen <website.reader3@gmail.com>]

Hmm.. I am encountering problems after patching and recompiling.

I am unable to do the 10^21 value that Odlyzko gave as

s = 1/2 +  1370919909931995308226.68016095*I

the gp pari program hangs.

If you go over to https://www.lmfdb.org/zeros/zeta/?limit=100&N=103800788260

and pick the first zeta(s) = 0 in that row starting with 103800788260 
entry which is given as

zeta zero count   imag value

103800788260    30610045972.0390910630030666727984229474273

I don't get zero ??? (using 57 bits precision)

so t and s are off in the 0.0000x place in the decimal expansion.

So which one is correct? s ? or t ? or neither?

For the next entry or the 103800788261 zero number of the Riemann zeta 
function for complex 1/2 + x*I

but GP Pari gives

So which one is correct? s or t or none?

This needs some careful investigation.
