In this talk we discuss the convergence rate of the Newton method for finding the singularity point on vetor fields. It is well-known that the Newton Method has local quadratic convergence rate with nonsingularity and Lipschitz condition. Here we release Lipschitz condition. With only nonsingularity, the Newton Method has superlinear convergence. If we have enough time, we can quickly give the damped Newton method on finding singularity on vector fields with superlinear convergence under nonsingularity condition only.

In this talk I will present the best up-to-date bounds for the argument of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line, assuming the Riemann hypothesis. The method applies to other objects related to the Riemann zeta-function and uses certain special families of functions of exponential type. This is a joint work with Vorrapan Chandee (Montreal) and Micah Milinovich (Mississipi).
