COMMENTS
As mentioned in the paper by Borwein et al., the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to a positivity condition on every even-order derivative of the Xi function at the point s = 1/2.

FORMULA
Xi(s) = 1/2*s*(s-1)*Pi^(-s/2)*Gamma(s/2)*zeta(s).
Xi''(1/2) = (-(32*Pi^(1/4))^(-1))*Gamma(1/4)*((-32 + (log(Pi) - PolyGamma(1/4))^2 + PolyGamma(1, 1/4))*zeta(1/2) + 4*((-log(Pi) + PolyGamma(1/4))*zeta'(1/2) + zeta''(1/2))).
