"A major difficulty in trying to construct a proof of RH through analysis is that the zeros of L-functions behave so much differently from zeros of many of the s we are used to seeing in mathematics and mathematical physics. For example, it is known that the zeta-function does not satisfy any differential equation. The functions which do arise as solutions of some of the classical differential equations, such as s, s, etc., have zeros which are fairly regularly spaced. A similar remark holds for the zeros of solutions of classical differential equations regarded as a function of a parameter in the differential equation."
