1. Introduction
Let

is the Riemann zeta-function, and
is a finite Dirichlet series. For this type of mean square of
, there are a number of researches, which is related to estimate the number of the zeros of
on the critical line
, see [

4,
5,
6]As before, for two positive integers
, denote
, and
is the least positive integer such that
. For
, denote by
and
.
Balasubramanian, Conrey, and Heath-Brown proved that
For
, and
, there is
where
. In the paper [
1], it is applied an auxiliary function
, which plays an important role of "ferrying", Instead, in this paper, we will make use of a new one, i.e.
defined in Lemma 2.1. Our result is that
Theorem 1.1.
Suppose that , and , then
where .
As it is easy to know that
, then with a properly re-define
, it has
The main arguments in this paper are most similar to the ones in [
1].
2. The Proof of Theorem 1.1
Lemma 2.1.
Suppose that , define
Let , denote , if , then
And if , or , then
Proof.
By Stirling’s formula, it has
Hence, if
, then
and similarly
if
, or
, then
□
Lemma 2.2
write , then for , then
where , and it has
Lemma 2.3.
Suppose that , let
Proof.
By the theory of Mellin Transforms(refer to [
7])
where
We apply this formula to and respectively.
□
Denote by the straight line from 0 to .
Lemma 2.4.
Let , , then
where and are two constants.
Proof. Equality (2.6) is followed by the residue theorem for the two integral paths form a contour with a pole at .
To prove (2.7), we change the integral paths and to the positive real axis but with an indentation around with and respectively.
And let
, then
where the integral path
is from
to
then along a upper semicircle
to
and tend to
. The integral path
is same but with a lower semicircle
. Let
be the union of
and the reversal of
.
It is easy to know that
and
as
. Let
, then
where
By the partial integration,
P can be expressed as
where
N is a any positive integer.
□
The following Lemma is direct.
Lemma 2.6.
Let , and let
and the estimation is also holds in the cases the term is removed, or is replaced by and by .
Proof. Let
, then
where
, and clearly,
.
Suppose that
, let
, there are the following estimates
and
where
C is a constant. Hence
Divide the
x integral into three pieces
and
with
,
and
respectively, then there are
□
Lemma 2.7.
Let , define
Then for , there is
where , and is a constant.
Proof. We move the integral path from
to
, the residue at
is
Hence,
where
is the one of
moved in the new integral path.
where
By Lemma 2.4,
and by Lemma 2.5
The other error term is
which may be written as a sum of four terms of a typical one is that
where
□
The Proof of Theorem 1.1.
Proof. By Lemma 2.1, it has
and
that is, the last term is
.
Then replacing
T by
, and summing, it follows
On the other hand, similarly it has
Hence, it will lead same bound as the upper bound above. As for the fact
, it may be followed from the known result of Ingham [
5]. □
It should be mentioned that the integrant of
in general is not as the one of
a positive real number, nevertheless, its argument is about
, which is very small in the context, so can be approximately viewed as a positive real number, and the deduction above is valid as the one in [
1].
