The Hurwitz zeta-function ζ (s , α) , s = σ + i t , with parameter 0 < α ⩽ 1 is a generalization of the Riemann zeta-function ζ (s) ( ζ (s , 1) = ζ (s) ) and was introduced at the end of the 19th century. The function ζ (s , α) plays an important role in investigations of the distribution of prime numbers in arithmetic progression and has applications in special function theory, algebraic number theory, dynamical system theory, other fields of mathematics, and even physics. The function ζ (s , α) is the main example of zeta-functions without Euler's product (except for the cases α = 1 , α = 1 / 2 ), and its value distribution is governed by arithmetical properties of α. For the majority of zeta-functions, ζ (s , α) for some α is universal, i.e., its shifts ζ (s + i τ , α) , τ ∈ R , approximate every analytic function defined in the strip { s : 1 / 2 < σ < 1 } . For needs of effectivization of the universality property for ζ (s , α) , the interval for τ must be as short as possible, and this can be achieved by using the mean square estimate for ζ (σ + i t , α) in short intervals. In this paper, we obtain the bound O (H) for that mean square over the interval [ T − H , T + H ] , with T 27 / 82 ⩽ H ⩽ T σ and 1 / 2 < σ ⩽ 7 / 12 . This is the first result on the mean square for ζ (s , α) in short intervals. In forthcoming papers, this estimate will be applied for proof of universality for ζ (s , α) and other zeta-functions in short intervals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the paper, we prove a limit theorem in the sense of the weak convergence of probability measures for the modified Mellin transform Z (s) , s = σ + i t , with fixed 1 / 2 < σ < 1 , of the square | ζ (1 / 2 + i t) | 2 of the Riemann zeta-function. We consider probability measures defined by means of Z (σ + i φ (t)) , where φ (t) , t ⩾ t 0 > 0 , is an increasing to + ∞ differentiable function with monotonically decreasing derivative φ ′ (t) satisfying a certain normalizing estimate related to the mean square of the function Z (σ + i φ (t)) . This allows us to extend the distribution laws for Z (s) . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let P be the set of generalized prime numbers, and ζ P (s) , s = σ + i t , denote the Beurling zeta-function associated with P. In the paper, we consider the approximation of analytic functions by using shifts ζ P (s + i τ) , τ ∈ R . We assume the classical axioms for the number of generalized integers and the mean of the generalized von Mangoldt function, the linear independence of the set { log p : p ∈ P } , and the existence of a bounded mean square for ζ P (s) . Under the above hypotheses, we obtain the universality of the function ζ P (s) . This means that the set of shifts ζ P (s + i τ) approximating a given analytic function defined on a certain strip σ ^ < σ < 1 has a positive lower density. This result opens a new chapter in the theory of Beurling zeta functions. Moreover, it supports the Linnik–Ibragimov conjecture on the universality of Dirichlet series. For the proof, a probabilistic approach is applied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider the modified Mellin transform of the product of the square of the Riemann zeta function and the exponentially decreasing function, and we discuss its probabilistic and approximation properties. It turns out that this Mellin transform approximates the identical zero in the strip { s ∈ C : 1 / 2 < σ < 1 } . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the paper, we consider the approximation of analytic functions by shifts from the wide class S ˜ of L-functions. This class was introduced by A. Selberg, supplemented by J. Steuding, and is defined axiomatically. We prove the so-called joint discrete universality theorem for the function L (s) ∈ S ˜ . Using the linear independence over Q of the multiset (h j log p : p ∈ P) , j = 1 , ... , r ; 2 π for positive h j , we obtain that there are many infinite shifts L (s + i k h 1) , ... , L (s + i k h r) , k = 0 , 1 , ... , approximating every collection f 1 (s) , ... , f r (s) of analytic non-vanishing functions defined in the strip { s ∈ C : σ L < σ < 1 } , where σ L is a degree of the function L (s) . For the proof, the probabilistic approach based on weak convergence of probability measures in the space of analytic functions is applied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is devoted to the approximation of a certain class of analytic functions by shifts Z (s + i τ) , τ ∈ R , of the modified Mellin transform Z (s) of the square of the Riemann zeta-function ζ (1 / 2 + i t) . More precisely, we prove the existence of a closed non-empty set F such that there are infinitely many shifts Z (s + i τ) , which approximate a given analytic function from F with a given accuracy. In the proof, the weak convergence of measures in the space of analytic functions is applied. Then, the set F coincides with the support of a limit measure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a theorem is obtained on the approximation in short intervals of a collection of analytic functions by shifts (ζ (s + i t k α 1) , ... , ζ (s + i t k α r)) of the Riemann zeta function. Here, { t k : k ∈ N } is the sequence of Gram numbers, and α 1 , ... , α r are different positive numbers not exceeding 1. It is proved that the above set of shifts in the interval [ N , N + M ] , here M = o (N) as N → ∞ , has a positive lower density. For the proof, a joint limit theorem in short intervals for weakly convergent probability measures is applied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let t τ be a solution to the equation θ (t) = (τ − 1) π , τ > 0 , where θ (t) is the increment of the argument of the function π − s / 2 Γ (s / 2) along the segment connecting points s = 1 / 2 and s = 1 / 2 + i t . t τ is called the Gram function. In the paper, we consider the approximation of collections of analytic functions by shifts of the Riemann zeta-function (ζ (s + i t τ α 1) , ... , ζ (s + i t τ α r)) , where α 1 , ... , α r are different positive numbers, in the interval [ T , T + H ] with H = o (T) , T → ∞ , and obtain the positivity of the density of the set of such shifts. Moreover, a similar result is obtained for shifts of a certain absolutely convergent Dirichlet series connected to ζ (s) . Finally, an example of the approximation of analytic functions by a composition of the above shifts is given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
