Write fixed, with . The zeros satisfy . For ,
The previous bound gives at most zeros in each dyadic ordinate band , so its total majorant is . That series converges. There are only finitely many zeros in the remaining bounded bands, and none has the forbidden denominator zero at the specified nonzero point of . Thus the real logarithmic derivative sum converges absolutely. This proves the absolute convergence of the real xi logarithmic derivative without claiming absolute convergence of the unpaired complex sums of .
