In this article, we consider the asymptotic behaviour of the modified Mellin transform Z(s){\mathcal{Z}}\left(s), s=σ+its=\sigma +it, of the Riemann zeta-function using weak convergence of probability measures in the space of analytic functions defined by means of shifts Z(s+iφ(τ)){\mathcal{Z}}\left(s+i\varphi \left(\tau )), where φ(τ)\varphi \left(\tau ) is a real increasing to +∞+\infty differentiable function with monotonically decreasing derivative satisfying a certain estimate connected to the second moment of Z(s){\mathcal{Z}}\left(s). We prove in this case that the limit measure is concentrated at the point g0(s)≡0{g}_{0}\left(s)\equiv 0. This result is applied to the approximation of g0(s){g}_{0}\left(s) by shifts Z(s+iφ(τ)){\mathcal{Z}}\left(s+i\varphi \left(\tau )).

By the Bagchi theorem, the Riemann hypothesis (all non-trivial zeros lie on the critical line) is equivalent to the self-approximation of the function ζ(s) by shifts ζ(s+iτ). In this paper, it is determined that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the positivity of density of the set of the above shifts approximating ζ(s) with all but at most countably many accuracies ε>0. Also, the analogue of an equivalent in terms of positive density in short intervals is discussed.

The Lerch zeta-function depends on two real parameters λ and and, for σ > 1, is defined by the Dirichlet series , and by analytic continuation elsewhere. In the paper, we consider the joint approximation of collections of analytic functions by discrete shifts with arbitrary 1 and We prove that there exists a non-empty closed set of analytic functions on the critical strip which is approximated by the above shifts. It is proved that the set of shifts approximating a given collection of analytic functions has a positive lower density. The case of positive density also is discussed. A generalization for some compositions is given.

The Hurwitz zeta-function ζ(s,α), s=σ+it, 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+iτ,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+it,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 T27/82⩽H⩽Tσ 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.

In the paper, we prove a joint limit theorem in terms of the weak convergence of probability measures on C2 defined by means of the Epstein ζ(s;Q) and Hurwitz ζ(s,α) zeta-functions. The limit measure in the theorem is explicitly given. For this, some restrictions on the matrix Q and the parameter α are required. The theorem obtained extends and generalizes the Bohr-Jessen results characterising the asymptotic behaviour of the Riemann zeta-function.

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+it, with fixed 1/2<σ<1, of the square |ζ(1/2+it)|2 of the Riemann zeta-function. We consider probability measures defined by means of Z(σ+iφ(t)), where φ(t), t⩾t0>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+iφ(t)). This allows us to extend the distribution laws for Z(s).

Let P be the set of generalized prime numbers, and ζP(s), s=σ+it, denote the Beurling zeta-function associated with P. In the paper, we consider the approximation of analytic functions by using shifts ζP(s+iτ), 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 {logp:p∈P}, and the existence of a bounded mean square for ζP(s). Under the above hypotheses, we obtain the universality of the function ζP(s). This means that the set of shifts ζP(s+iτ) 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.

In the paper, we prove that the set of discrete shifts of the Riemann zeta-function approximating analytic nonvanishing functions f1(s),...,fr(s) defined on has a positive density in the interval [N,N + M] with with real algebraic numbers a1,...,ar linearly independent over Q. A similar result is obtained for shifts of certain absolutely convergent Dirichlet series.

In this paper, the approximation of analytic functions by shifts ζP(s+iτ) of Beurling zeta-functions ζP(s) of certain systems P of generalized prime numbers is discussed. It is required that the system of generalized integers NP generated by P satisfies ∑m⩽x,m∈N1=ax+O(xδ), a>0, 0⩽δ<1, and the function ζP(s) in some strip lying in σ^<σ<1, σ^>δ, which has a bounded mean square. Proofs are based on the convergence of probability measures in some spaces.

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]

By the Bagchi theorem, the Riemann hypothesis (all non-trivial zeros lie on the critical line) is equivalent to the self-approximation of the function ζ (s) by shifts ζ (s + i τ) . In this paper, it is determined that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the positivity of density of the set of the above shifts approximating ζ (s) with all but at most countably many accuracies ε > 0 . Also, the analogue of an equivalent in terms of positive density in short intervals is discussed. [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}.

In the paper, we construct an absolutely convergent Dirichlet series which in the mean is close to the periodic Hurwitz zeta-function, and has the universality property on the approximation of a wide class of analytic functions.

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 (hjlogp:p∈P),j=1,…,r;2π for positive hj, we obtain that there are many infinite shifts L(s+ikh1),…,L(s+ikhr), k=0,1,…, approximating every collection f1(s),…,fr(s) of analytic non-vanishing functions defined in the strip {s∈C:σL<σ<1}, where σL 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.

This paper is devoted to the approximation of a certain class of analytic functions by shifts Z(s+iτ), τ∈R, of the modified Mellin transform Z(s) of the square of the Riemann zeta-function ζ(1/2+it). More precisely, we prove the existence of a closed non-empty set F such that there are infinitely many shifts Z(s+iτ), 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.

In the paper, the approximation of analytic functions on compact sets of the strip {s=σ+it∈C∣1/2<σ<1} by shifts F(ζ(s+iu1(τ)),…,ζ(s+iur(τ))), where ζ(s) is the Riemann zeta-function, u1,…,ur are certain differentiable increasing functions, and F is a certain continuous operator in the space of analytic functions, is considered. It is obtained that the set of the above shifts in the interval [T,T+H] with H=o(T), T→∞, has a positive lower density. Additionally, the positivity of a density with a certain exceptional condition is discussed. Examples of considered operators F are given.

In the paper, it is obtained that there are infinite discrete shifts Ξ(s+ikh), h>0, k∈N0 of the Mellin transform Ξ(s) of the square of the Riemann zeta-function, approximating a certain class of analytic functions. For the proof, a probabilistic approach based on weak convergence of probability measures in the space of analytic functions is applied.

In this paper, a theorem is obtained on the approximation in short intervals of a collection of analytic functions by shifts (ζ(s+itkα1),…,ζ(s+itkαr)) of the Riemann zeta function. Here, {tk:k∈N} is the sequence of Gram numbers, and α1,…,αr 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.

Suppose that Q is a positive defined n×n matrix, and Q[x̲]=x̲TQx̲ with x̲∈Zn. The Epstein zeta-function ζ(s;Q), s=σ+it, is defined, for σ>n2, by the series ζ(s;Q)=∑x̲∈Zn∖{0̲}(Q[x̲])−s, and it has a meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane. Let n⩾4 be even, while φ(t) is an increasing differentiable function with a continuous monotonic bounded derivative φ′(t) such that φ(2t)(φ′(t))−1≪t, and the sequence {aφ(k)} is uniformly distributed modulo 1. In the paper, it is obtained that 1N#N⩽k⩽2N:ζ(σ+iφ(k);Q)∈A, A∈B(C), for σ>n−12, converges weakly to an explicitly given probability measure on (C,B(C)) as N→∞.

The famous Selberg class is defined axiomatically and consists of Dirichlet series satisfying four axioms (Ramanujan hypothesis, analytic continuation, functional equation, multiplicativity). The Selberg–Steuding class S is a complemented Selberg class by an arithmetic hypothesis related to the distribution of prime numbers. In this paper, a joint universality theorem for the functions L from the class S on the approximation of a collection of analytic functions by shifts L(s+ia1τ),…,L(s+iarτ), where a1,…,ar are real algebraic numbers linearly independent over the field of rational numbers, is obtained. It is proved that the set of the above approximating shifts is infinite, its lower density and, with some exception, density are positive. For the proof, a probabilistic method based on weak convergence of probability measures in the space of analytic functions is applied together with the Backer theorem on linear forms of logarithms and the Mergelyan theorem on approximation of analytic functions by polynomials.

In this paper, we consider the simultaneous approximation of tuples of analytic functions by tuples of shifts of Lerch zeta-functions with arbitrary parameters. We prove that there exists a closed set of tuples of functions analytic in the right-hand side of the critical strip, which is approximated by the above tuples of shifts. Further, a generalization for some compositions of tuples of Lerch zeta-functions is given.

In the paper, we prove a joint limit theorem in terms of the weak convergence of probability measures on C 2 defined by means of the Epstein ζ (s ; Q) and Hurwitz ζ (s , α) zeta-functions. The limit measure in the theorem is explicitly given. For this, some restrictions on the matrix Q and the parameter α are required. The theorem obtained extends and generalizes the Bohr-Jessen results characterising the asymptotic behaviour of the Riemann zeta-function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider universality in short intervals for the zeta-function attached to a normalized Hecke-eigen cusp form with respect to the modular group. For this, we apply a conjecture for the mean square in short interval on the critical strip for that zeta-function. The proof of the obtained universality theorem is based on a probabilistic limit theorem in the space of analytic functions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the paper, we prove a general universality theorem for the Riemann zeta-function ζ (s) on approximation of a class of analytic functions by generalized shifts ζ (s + ia(τ)). Here a(τ) is a real-valued continuous increasing to +∞ function, uniformly distributed modulo 1 and such that |ζ(σ + ia(τ) + it)|2, for σ > 1/2, has a traditional mean estimate for every t ∈ ℝ. For example, the function tv(τ), v > 0, where t(τ) is the Gram function, satisfies the hypotheses of the proved theorem. For the proof, the method of weak convergence of probabilistic measures in the space of analytic functions is developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2007, H. Mishou obtained a joint universality theorem for the Riemann and Hurwitz zeta-functions ζ(s) and ζ(s,α) with transcendental parameter α on the approximation of a pair of analytic functions by shifts (ζ(s+iτ),ζ(s+iτ,α)), τ ∈R. In the paper, the Mishou theorem is generalized for the set of above shifts having a weighted positive lower density. Also, the case of a positive density is considered.

In the paper, an universality theorem of discrete type on the approximation of analytic functions by shifts of a special absolutely convergent Dirichlet series is obtained. These series is close in a certain sense to the periodic zeta-function and depends on a parameter.

Let θ(t) denote the increment of the argument of the product π−s/2Γ(s/2) along the segment connecting the points s=1/2 and s=1/2+it, and tn denote the solution of the equation θ(t)=(n−1)π, n=0,1,…. The numbers tn are called the Gram points. In this paper, we consider the approximation of a collection of analytic functions by shifts in the Riemann zeta-function (ζ(s+itkα1),…,ζ(s+itkαr)), k=0,1,…, where α1,…,αr are different positive numbers not exceeding 1. We prove that the set of such shifts approximating a given collection of analytic functions has a positive lower density. For the proof, a discrete limit theorem on weak convergence of probability measures in the space of analytic functions is applied.

Let tτ 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/2Γ(s/2) along the segment connecting points s=1/2 and s=1/2+it. tτ 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+itτα1),…,ζ(s+itταr)), where α1,…,αr 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.
