Abstract

The Riemann zeta-function ζ(s) has the property that, for each function g(z) meromorphic on ℂ, there exists a sequence \(s=q_{n}(z)=a_n+b_{n}z\) of linear transformations and an increasing sequence of compact sets K m, whose union is the complex plane ℂ, such that the sequence ζ q n converges spherically uniformly to g on each K m.
