Mathematicians' Riemann Hypothesis Proof

The document presents a proof of the Riemann hypothesis using the Mellin transform of a function w(t). It shows that w(t) is holomorphic in the critical strip 0 < Re(s) < 1, as conjectured by Riemann, since w(t) is bounded as t approaches 0 and 1/t as t approaches infinity. This proves that the Riemann zeta function has no zeros in the critical strip, validating the Riemann hypothesis.
