§25.17 Physical Applications
This relates to a suggestion of Hilbert and Pólya that the zeros are eigenvalues of some operator, and the Riemann hypothesis is true if that operator is Hermitian. … Quantum field theory often encounters formally divergent sums that need to be evaluated by a process of regularization: for example, the energy of the electromagnetic vacuum in a confined space (Casimir–Polder effect). It has been found possible to perform such regularizations by equating the divergent sums to zeta functions and associated functions (Elizalde (1995)).
22: 16.25 Methods of Computation
Methods for computing the functions of the present chapter include power series, asymptotic expansions, integral representations, differential equations, and recurrence relations. They are similar to those described for confluent hypergeometric functions, and hypergeometric functions in §§13.29 and 15.19. There is, however, an added feature in the numerical solution of differential equations and difference equations (recurrence relations). …Instead a boundary-value problem needs to be formulated and solved. …

Hence, if x is fixed and n , then S n ( x ) 1 4 π , 0 , or 1 4 π according as 0 < x < π , x = 0 , or π < x < 0 ; compare (6.2.14). … Hence if x = π / ( 2 n ) and n , then the limiting value of S n ( x ) overshoots 1 4 π by approximately 18%. … If we assume Riemann’s hypothesis that all nonreal zeros of ζ ( s ) have real part of 1 2 25.10(i)), then …where π ( x ) is the number of primes less than or equal to x . …
