contents Here, we study both analytically and numerically, an integral $Z(σ,r)$ related to the mean value of a generalized moment of Riemann's zeta function. Analytically, we predict finite, but discontinuous values and verify the prediction numerically, employing a modified form of Cesàro summation. Further, it is proven and verified numerically that for certain values of $σ$, the derivative function $Z^{\prime}(σ,n)$ equates to one generalized tine of the Dirac comb function without recourse to the use of limits, test functions or distributions. A surprising outcome of the numerical study arises from the observation that the proper integral form of the derivative function is quasi-periodic, which in turn suggests a periodicity of the integrand. This possibility is also explored and it is found experimentally that zeta function values offset (shifted) over certain segments of the imaginary complex number line are moderately auto-correlated.
