Comments

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, the nonreal zeros of zeta(s,1) = zeta(s) lie on the critical line Re(s) = 1/2 and the nonreal zeros of zeta(s,1/2) = (2^s - 1)*zeta(s) lie on the critical line and on the imaginary axis Re(s) = 0.

Examples

			The first zero rho1 of zeta(s,1) on the line Re(s) = 1/2 connects by a path of zeros of zeta(s,a) to a zero of zeta(s,1/2) on the line Re(s) = 0, so rho1 is "unstable" and 1 is a member.
The 2nd zero rho2 of zeta(s,1) on Re(s) = 1/2 connects to a zero of zeta(s,1/2) on Re(s) = 1/2, so rho2 is "stable" and 2 is not a member.

Formula

Solve the differential equation ds(a)/da = -(dzeta(s,a)/da)/(dzeta(s,a)/ds) = s*zeta(s+1,a)/(dzeta(s,a)/ds) where s = s0(a) and zeta(s0(a),a) = 0. For initial conditions use the zeros of zeta(s,1).
