[seqfan] Sequences Related to the Riemann Zeta Zeros

        I would like to describe a set of sequences that could be
generated from the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann Zeta function.

        While it is obvious that the following sum does not converge:
           sum(n>=1, 1/n^(1/2 + i*y) )
where (1/2 + i*y) is a Riemann Zeta Zero, perhaps certain subsets of the
integers would allow this to converge to zero.

        Suppose we define such an integer sequence {a(n)} such that

(*)        sum(n>=1, 1/a(n)^(1/2 + i*y) ) = 0    

by requiring that the modulus of the partial sums be always decreasing in
magnitude, so that the sum approaches zero as a limit.  The n-th term
a(n) is to be the least positive integer that causes the n-th partial sum
of (*) to be less in magnitude than the (n-1)-th partial sum.
        
        Further, it would be interesting to derive a table of related row
sequences satisfying (*) for the same Zeta zero, such that they
collectively would form a permutation of the natural numbers.  There
would then be a separate table defined for each Riemann Zeta zero.  

        Perhaps someone would like to derive some of these tables?  I can
generate the first row sequences, but the subsequent rows are beyond my
calculating capability at present.

        Here are a few sequences that satisfy (*) for six different Zeta
zeros, and would form the first row of the above tables.

        Thanks,
                Paul

PARI code:
? \p1000
? y=...(500+ digits of imaginary value of Zeta zero)

? S=0;i=sqrt(-1);w=1;a=0;
?
for(n=1,100,b=a+1;while(abs(S+exp(i*y*log(b))/sqrt(b))>w,b++);S=S+exp(i*y
*log(b))/sqrt(b);w=abs(S);a=b;print1(b,","))

Sequences that satisfy (*) for the k-th Riemann Zeta Zero, Z_k = 1/2
+i*y.
