function A = riemann(n) %RIEMANN A matrix associated with the Riemann hypothesis. % A = RIEMANN(N) is an N-by-N matrix for which the % Riemann hypothesis is true if and only if % DET(A) = O( N! N^(-1/2+epsilon) ) for every epsilon > 0 % (`!' denotes factorial). % A = B(2:N+1, 2:N+1), where % B(i,j) = i-1 if i divides j and -1 otherwise. % Properties include, with M = N+1: % Each eigenvalue E(i) satisfies ABS(E(i)) <= M - 1/M. % i <= E(i) <= i+1 with at most M-SQRT(M) exceptions. % All integers in the interval (M/3, M/2] are eigenvalues. % % See also REDHEFF. % Reference: % F.
