If $x\geq 1$ , $y\geq 1$ , $2\pi xy=t$ , and $0\leq\sigma\leq 1$ , then as $t\to\infty$ with $\sigma$ fixed,

25.9.1 $\mathop{\zeta\/}\nolimits\!\left(\sigma+it\right)=\sum_{{1\leq n\leq x}}\frac{% 1}{n^{s}}+\chi(s)\sum_{{1\leq n\leq y}}\frac{1}{n^{{1-s}}}+\mathop{O\/}% \nolimits\!\left(x^{{-\sigma}}\right)+\mathop{O\/}\nolimits\!\left(y^{{\sigma-% 1}}t^{{\frac{1}{2}-\sigma}}\right),$

Symbols:: $\mathop{O\/}\nolimits\!\left(x\right)$ : order not exceeding, $\mathop{\zeta\/}\nolimits\!\left(s\right)$ : Riemann zeta function, : nonnegative integer, : real variable, : complex variable, $\sigma$ : fixed and $\chi(s)$ : function

where $s=\sigma+it$ and

25.9.2 $\chi(s)=\pi^{{s-\frac{1}{2}}}\mathop{\Gamma\/}\nolimits\!\left(\tfrac{1}{2}-% \tfrac{1}{2}s\right)/\mathop{\Gamma\/}\nolimits\!\left(\tfrac{1}{2}s\right).$

If $\sigma=\frac{1}{2}$ , $x=y=\sqrt{t/(2\pi)}$ , and $m=\left\lfloor x\right\rfloor$ , then (25.9.1) becomes

25.9.3 $\mathop{\zeta\/}\nolimits\!\left(\tfrac{1}{2}+it\right)=\sum_{{n=1}}^{m}\frac{% 1}{n^{{\frac{1}{2}+it}}}+\chi\left(\tfrac{1}{2}+it\right)\sum_{{n=1}}^{m}\frac% {1}{n^{{\frac{1}{2}-it}}}+\mathop{O\/}\nolimits\!\left(t^{{-1/4}}\right).$
