Functional equation (L-function)
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Mathematics/pxTouaz4">mathematics</a>, the <a href="/facts/L-function/REVCKvU7"><i>L</i>-functions</a> of <a href="/facts/Number_theory/zhoa7zrc">number theory</a> are expected to have several characteristic properties, one of which is that they satisfy certain <a href="/facts/Functional_equation/4ovU4CAt">functional equations</a>. There is an elaborate theory of what these equations should be, much of which is still conjectural. </p>
