Companions of the inequalities of Fejér-Jackson and young
Alzer, H.; Koumandos, S. (2005)Applications of some well-known theorems of Jackson and Young lead to the sharp inequalities, We prove that the following counterpart is valid for all integers n ≥ 1 and real numbers x ∈ (0, π): where the sign of equality ...

Inequalities of Fejér-Jackson Type
Alzer, H.; Koumandos, S. (2003)We complement, extend, and sharpen some known inequalities for sine sums. Our main result is the following refinement of the classical Fejér-Jackson inequality: For all integers n ≥ 2 and real numbers x ∈ (0, π) we have ...

A new refinement of Young's inequality
Alzer, H.; Koumandos, S. (2007)A classical theorem due to Young states that the cosine polynomial c n(x) = 1 + ∑k=1n cos(kx)/k is positive for all n ≥ 1 and x ∈ (0, π). We prove the following refinement. For all n ≥ 2 and x ∈ [0, π] we have 1/6 + c(π - ...

On a conjecture of Clark and Ismail
Alzer, H.; Berg, C.; Koumandos, S. (2005)Let Φm (x) = -xmψ(m) (x), where ψ denotes the logarithmic derivative of Euler's gamma function. Clark and Ismail prove in a recently published article that if m ∈ {1,2,..., 16}, then Φm(m) is completely monotonic on (0, ...

On a trigonometric sum of Vinogradov
Alzer, H.; Koumandos, S. (2004)The trigonometric sum f(m, n) = ∑ k=1 m-1 sin(πkn/m) /sin(πk/m) (1 < m ∈ N, n ∈ N) has several applications in number theory. We prove that the mean value inequalities c1m(log m + γ - logπ/2) ≤ 1/m ∑ n=1 f(m, n) < c2m(log ...

Remarks on a sine polynomial
Alzer, H.; Koumandos, S. (2009)Let n ≥ 0 be an integer. Then we have for x ε (0, π) : ∑k=0 n(2n+1 n-k)sin((2k+1)x)/2k+1 ≤ 8 n-rfnet-temp!/(2n+1)!! The upper bound is best possible. This complements a result of Fejér, who proved that the sine polynomial ...

Sharp inequalities for trigonometric sums
Alzer, H.; Koumandos, S. (2003)We prove the following two theorems: (I) Let n ≥ 1 be a (fixed) integer. Then we have for θ ∈ (0, π): ∑k=1ncos(kθ)/k ≤ -log (sin (θ/2)) + π-θ/2 + σn, with the best possible constant σn = ∑k=1n (-1)k/k. (II) For even integers ...
