Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect new articles on topics from the fields of numerical methods and approximation theory. These fields have developed tremendously in recent years, obtaining many applications. For example, the literature in the field of approximation of functions with positive and linear operators is quite rich. Numerical methods have been developed well for approximating the solutions of different types of equations (differential equations, equations with partial derivatives, and integral equations).

The connection between pure and applied mathematics is important (practical applications must be supported by rigorously proven theoretical results). In many studies, practical examples are presented to justify the applicability of theoretical results. Articles related to the two fields are welcome in this Special Issue (for example, inequalities or special functions that appear in the field of approximation of functions).

Abstract
In this paper, we prove that every bounded linear operator on a separable Hilbert space has a non-trivial invariant subspace. This answers the well-known invariant subspace problem. Full article

The Z-function is the real function given by Z(t)=eiθ(t)ζ12+it, where ζ(s) is the Riemann zeta function, and θ(t) is the Riemann–Siegel theta function. The function, central to the study of the Riemann hypothesis (RH), has traditionally posed significant computational challenges. This research addresses these challenges by exploring new methods for approximating Z(t) and its zeros. The sections of Z(t) are given by ZN(t):=k=1Ncos(θ(t)ln(k)t)k for any NN. Classically, these sections approximate the Z-function via the Hardy–Littlewood approximate functional equation (AFE) Z(t)2ZN˜(t)(t) for N˜(t)=t2π. While historically important, the Hardy–Littlewood AFE does not sufficiently discern the RH and requires further evaluation of the Riemann–Siegel formula. An alternative, less common, is Z(t)ZN(t)(t) for N(t)=t2, which is Spira’s approximation using higher-order sections. Spira conjectured, based on experimental observations, that this approximation satisfies the RH in the sense that all of its zeros are real. We present a proof of Spira’s conjecture using a new approximate equation with exponentially decaying error, recently developed by us via new techniques of acceleration of series. This establishes that higher-order approximations do not need further Riemann–Siegel type corrections, as in the classical case, enabling new theoretical methods for studying the zeros of zeta beyond numerics.
