Research
Herman te Riele is employed as CWI researcher since 1970. His specialities are numerical mathematics and computational number theory, including factorization of large numbers. He is known, a.o., for proving the correctness of the Riemann hypothesis for the first 1,5 billion non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function (with Jan van de Lune and Dik Winter), for disproving the so-called Mertens conjecture (with Andrew Odlyzko), and for factoring large numbers of world record size (with many others). In 1987 he found a new upper bound for sign changes of the function pi(x) − Li(x).
