The completed zeta function $\xi(s)$ is expanded in MacLaurin series (infinite polynomial), which can be further expressed as infinite product (Hadamard product) of quadratic factors by its complex conjugate zeros $\alpha_i\pm j\beta_i, \beta_i\neq 0, i\in \mathbb{N}$ ($\mathbb{N}$ is the set of natural numbers, from $1$ to infinity). Then, according to the functional equation $\xi(s)=\xi(1-s)$, we have $$\xi(0)\prod_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{\beta_i^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}\Big{(}1+\frac{(s-\alpha_i)^2}{\beta_i^2}\Big{)} =\xi(0)\prod_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{\beta_i^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}\Big{(}1+\frac{(1-s-\alpha_i)^2}{\beta_i^2}\Big{)}$$ which, by Lemma 3 and Corollary 1, is equivalent to $$(s-\alpha_i)^2 = (1-s-\alpha_i)^2, i \in \mathbb{N}$$ with solution $\alpha_i= \frac{1}{2}, i\in \mathbb{N}$ (another solution $s=\frac{1}{2}$ is invalid due to obvious contradiction). Thus, a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis is achieved.

The completed zeta function $\xi(s)$ is expanded in MacLaurin series (infinite polynomial), which can be further expressed as infinite product (Hadamard product) of quadratic factors by its complex conjugate zeros $\rho_i=\alpha_i +j\beta_i, \bar{\rho}_i=\alpha_i-j\beta_i, 0<\alpha_i<1, \beta_i\neq 0, i\in \mathbb{N}$ are natural numbers from 1 to infinity, $\rho_i$ are in order of increasing $|\rho_i|=\sqrt{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}$, i.e., $|\rho_1|<|\rho_2|\leq|\rho_3|\leq |\rho_4|, \cdots$, together with $\beta_1<\beta_2\leq\beta_3\leq\beta_4, \cdots$. Then, according to the functional equation $\xi(s)=\xi(1-s)$, we have $$\xi(0)\prod_{i\in \mathbb{N}}\Big{(}\frac{\beta_i^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}+\frac{(s-\alpha_i)^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}\Big{)} =\xi(0)\prod_{i\in \mathbb{N}}\Big{(}\frac{\beta_i^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}+\frac{(1-s-\alpha_i)^2}{\alpha_i^2+\beta_i^2}\Big{)}$$ which, by Lemma 3, is equivalent to $$(s-\alpha_i)^2 = (1-s-\alpha_i)^2, i \in \mathbb{N}, \text{from 1 to infinity.}$$ with only valid solution $\alpha_i= \frac{1}{2}$ (another solution $s=\frac{1}{2}$ is invalid due to obvious contradiction). Thus, a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis is achieved.

The basic idea is to expand the completed zeta function $\xi(s)$ in MacLaurin series (infinite polynomial), which can be further expressed as infinite product (Hadamard product) by conjugate complex roots. Finally, the functional equation $\xi(s)=\xi(1-s)$ leads to $(s-\alpha_i)^2 = (1-s-\alpha_i)^2, i \in \mathbb{N}$ with solution $\alpha_i= \frac{1}{2}, i \in \mathbb{N}$, where $\alpha_i$ are the real parts of the zeros of $\xi(s)$, i.e., $s_i =\alpha_i\pm j\beta_i, i\in \mathbb{N}$. Therefore, a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis is achieved.

In mathematics, the Riemann hypothesis is a conjecture that the Riemann zeta function has its zeros only at the negative even integers and complex numbers with real part $\frac{1}{2}$. The Riemann hypothesis belongs to the David Hilbert's list of 23 unsolved problems and it is one of the Clay Mathematics Institute's Millennium Prize Problems. The Robin criterion states that the Riemann hypothesis is true if and only if the inequality $\sigma(n)< e^{\gamma } \times n \times \log \log n$ holds for all natural numbers $n> 5040$, where $\sigma(x)$ is the sum-of-divisors function and $\gamma \approx 0.57721$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. The Nicolas criterion states that the Riemann hypothesis is true if and only if the inequality $\prod_{q \leq q_{n}} \frac{q}{q-1} > e^{\gamma} \times \log\theta(q_{n})$ is satisfied for all primes $q_{n}> 2$, where $\theta(x)$ is the Chebyshev function. Using both inequalities, we show that the Riemann hypothesis is most likely true.

The Riemann hypothesis is a conjecture that the Riemann zeta function has its zeros only at the negative even integers and complex numbers with real part $\frac{1}{2}$. The Riemann hypothesis belongs to the David Hilbert's list of 23 unsolved problems. Besides, it is one of the Clay Mathematics Institute's Millennium Prize Problems. This problem has remained unsolved for many years. The Robin criterion states that the Riemann hypothesis is true if and only if the inequality $\sigma(n)< e^{\gamma } \times n \times \log \log n$ holds for all natural numbers $n>5040$, where $\sigma(x)$ is the sum-of-divisors function and $\gamma \approx 0.57721$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. The Nicolas criterion states that the Riemann hypothesis is true if and only if the inequality $\prod_{q \leq q_{n}} \frac{q}{q-1}>e^{\gamma} \times \log\theta(q_{n})$ is satisfied for all primes $q_{n}>2$, where $\theta(x)$ is the Chebyshev function. Using both inequalities, we show that the Riemann hypothesis is true.

Let [Formula: see text] denote a connected [Formula: see text]-regular undirected graph of finite order [Formula: see text]. The graph [Formula: see text] is called Ramanujan whenever [Formula: see text] for all nontrivial eigenvalues [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. We consider the variant [Formula: see text] of the Ihara Zeta function [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] defined by [Formula: see text] The function [Formula: see text] satisfies the functional equation [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] denote the number sequence given by [Formula: see text] In this paper, we establish the equivalence of the following statements: (i) [Formula: see text] is Ramanujan; (ii) [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]; (iii) [Formula: see text] for infinitely many even [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, we derive the Hasse–Weil bound for the Ramanujan graphs.
