COMMENTS

For real x < 0, zeta(x) undergoes divergent oscillations, passing through zero at every even integer value of x. In each interval (-2n,-2n-2), n = 1, 2, 3, ..., it attains a local extreme (maximum, minimum, maximum, ...). The location x_n of the n-th local extreme does not match the odd integer -2n-1. Rather, x_n > -2n-1 for n = 1 and 2, and x_n < -2n-1 for n >= 3. This entry defines the location x_1 of the first maximum. The corresponding value is in A271856.
