What kind of curve is this? It seems like some kind of Sine curve with another higher-order term in front, but I don't know enough about fitting to find a good fit. Here's the Mathematica code to plot it: Monitor[ListPlot[Table[Product[N[Abs[1/(1 - Prime[x]^(-(1/2 + 3*I)))]], {x, 1, y}], {y, 1, 1000}]], y]
by the way, this takes a long time to run, so you might want to run it to 500 instead of 1000.
for someone who knows statistics better than I to suggest a model for me to try fitting. It looks a lot like a Sine function but nothing I've tried works.
Nicholas Reyes
you've got the function that makes it, but you want to fit a different curve to it?
Just eyeing it, it looks a bit like y = x^2 * (sin x)^2 or e^x (sin x)^2 or e^x (sin x) ^ 4
If anyone wants to know what this really is, it's the convergence of the infinite Euler product of the Riemann Zeta function at [math]s = 1/2 + 3i [/math]. The Zeta function built in to Mathematica calculates it as an infinite sum, but it can also be done using primes in the denominator, and I was curious to see how it converged. Here's the plot of Abs[Zeta[1/2 + 7i]] starting to converge to the line
Gabriel Sanchez
physics background and hated complex variables (fuck it all beyond eulers formula) so know nothing of riemann function.
Was thinking it was y= x^2 * sin (x^2) before you posted, as frequencies seems to increase with x....
anyway, good luck
Nathan Gonzalez
Yeah I'm an ee student so I don't really know what I'm doing either. I really don't see how could ever converge to that line. If Terrence Tao can't figure it out then I probably shouldn't bother, but it's a fun way to kill time.
I think I'll interpolate the table and try to make a Fourier series out of it
Charles Bell
>could ever converge to that line.
there's a sine in there somewhere...

>radius not 0 Not measuring the radius measuring the height of the tip relative to the ground.
Nathan Sanchez
ya... i suppose.
I think that would look more like a leapfrog function, though. Someone with more energy could probably write the function you have in mind for a circle, and they'd look very similar.
Julian Russell
fuck im dumb
not sure what I was thinking with anyway its called a cycloid egg... what you're thinking of
How about the Fourier transform of the Fourier transform of ?
Dylan Watson
Sin wave scaled in height exponentially and scaled in width by an exponential modulated by a sin wave
Jackson Martin
Instead of settling on something arbitrary like -1/2 - 3*i you should ask yourself what's going on at a general complex number z. If you write what you've got here as a function [math]\mathbb{C}\times\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}[/math] and plot it over the complex plane at different integer values you'll see that what's really going on is that you're taking the z-coordinate of a little surfer as they ride a series of crazy waves.
Is there some continuous, closed-form parameterization of their trajectory? Maybe, but I don't see any reason for there to be.
Jose Lee
How is possible that there is no other closed form description of it? I picked 1/2 and 3 because I was mostly interested in the properties of the primes and I wanted to focus on one little spot on that plane.
Lucas Long
>How is possible that there is no other closed form description of it? For the same reason that it's possible that huge classes of functions have no closed form antiderivative.
Landon Carter
It wouldn't have to be closed form necessarily, but it obviously must have some sort of sine factor and it's frustrating that it's unknown.
Jaxson Hughes
It's a Bitcoin curve, obviously.
Matthew Perez
>but it obviously must have some sort of sine factor Be wary of trusting your sense of what is obvious is mathematics.
