A Stronger Generalization of the Riemann Functional Equation

A major breakthrough introduced in this paper is a generalization of the Riemann functional equation that has a broader validity domain than the existing one from the literature. The insight that led to this new relation came from a new formula for the zeta function created herein that implies the Riemann functional equation. Further developments that stem from new formulae introduced previously are also discussed. Btw, someone has pointed out that there is an easier solution, in hindsight, that can be used to derive this generalization. Typical nay-sayism. It only matters if someone has used that same logic to come up with the formula before it was published! The new formula can also be dissmissed as deja-vu if the result already existed previously in the literature, but in no other case. Coming up with easier ways to deduce a formula (which relies on the formula itself after it's known) is not how problems are solved. You only got the insight because you saw the look and feel of the new result.
