%N Decimal expansion of the least real solution x > 0 of Gamma(1/4 + x/2)/(Pi^x*Gamma(1/4 - x/2)) = 1.

%F Let x be this constant:

%F Gamma(1/4 - x/2)/(Pi^x*Gamma(1/4 + x/2)) = 1.

%F zeta((1/2) + x) = zeta((1/2) - x), where zeta is the Riemann zeta function.

%F (2*Pi)^(-1/2 - x)*(2*x - 1)*cos(Pi/4 + (Pi*x)/2)*Gamma(x - 1/2) = 1.

%F 2^(1/2 - x)*Pi^(-1/2 - x)*sin(Pi/2 - (Pi*x)/2)*Gamma(1/2 + x) = 1.

%F Z(i*x) = -zeta((1/2) + x) = -zeta((1/2) - x), where Z is the Riemann-Siegel Z function and i is the imaginary unit. From this follows that theta(i*-x) = theta(i*x) is an odd multiple of Pi where theta is the Riemann-Siegel theta function. This can also be seen if we consider Hardy's definition of the Z function: Z(s) = Pi^(-i*s/2)*zeta((1/2) + i*s)*Gamma((1/4)+(i*s/2))^(1/2)/Gamma((1/4) - (i*s/2))^(1/2).
