How to Prove the Riemann Hypothesis
Fayez Fok Al Adeh.
Abstract- To prove the Riemann Hypothesis is to show
that the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function,
which are complex, have real part equal to 0.5 . The proof
given herein is divided into two parts. Integral calculus is
used in the first part, while variational calculus is employed
in the second part. Given that (a) is the real part of any
nontrivial zero of the Riemann zeta function, it is assumed
that (a) is a fixed exponent in the equations 50-59 and hence
it is verified that a=0.5. In the remaining equations
beginning in equation (60) (a) is treated as a parameter
(a<0.5) and a contradiction is obtained.
At the end of the proof (from equation (73) onward), it is
verified again that a = 0.5

I. INTRODUCTION
The Riemann zeta function is the function of the complex
variable s = a + bi (i = − 1 ), defined in the half plane a >1 by
the absolute convergent series
∞

ζ (s) = ∑
(1)
s
1 n
and in the whole complex plane by analytic continuation.
The function ζ (s ) has zeros at the negative even integers -2, 4, … and one refers to them as the trivial zeros. The Riemann
Hypothesis states that the nontrivial zeros of ζ (s ) have real
part equal to 0.5.
II, PROOF OF THE RIEMANN HYPOTHESIS
We begin with the equation
ζ (s) =0
(2)
where
s= a+bi
(3)
i.e.
ζ ( a + bi ) = 0
(4)
It is known that the nontrivial zeros of ζ (s ) are all complex.
Their real parts lie between zero and one.
If
0 < a < 1 then

We form the product of the integrals (12)and (13).This is justified by
the fact that both integrals (12) and (13) are absolutely convergent .As
to integral (12) we notice that

this case (a=0.5) (56) will approach zero as (x → 0 ) and
hence remains bounded .
Now suppose that a< 0.5 .In this case we consider a as a
parameter.Hence we have

Assume that a =0.5 .( remember that we are treating a as a
given exponent )This value a =0.5 will guarantee that the

First we compute

Since G[F] is bounded across the elementary interval [0,p],
δ G[F] is bounded across this interval

From (52) we conclude that

It is evident that this last limit is unbounded. This contradicts
our conclusion (71) that

Therefore the case a<0.5 is rejected .We verify here that ,for a =

We have that

We write

Thus we have verified here that ,for a = 0.5 (71) approaches
zero as (x → 0 ) and hence remains bounded.
We consider the case a >0.5 . This case is also rejected, since
according to the functional equation, if ( ζ (s ) =0) (s = a+ bi)
has a root with a>0.5 ,then it must have another root with another
value of a < 0.5 . But we have already rejected the case with
a<0.5
Thus we are left with the only possible value of a which is a =
0.5
Therefore a = 0.5
This proves the Riemann Hypothesis .
