On the normalizing multiplier of the generalized Jackson kernel

We consider the question of evaluating the normalizing multiplier $$\gamma _{n,k} = \frac{1}{\pi }\int_{ - \pi }^\pi {\left( {\frac{{sin\tfrac{{nt}}{2}}}{{sin\tfrac{t}{2}}}} \right)^{2k} dt} $$ for the generalized Jackson kernel J _n,k (t). We obtain the explicit formula $$\gamma _{n,k} = 2\sum\limits_{p = 0}^{\left[ {k - \tfrac{k}{n}} \right]} {( - 1)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {2k} \\ p \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {k(n + 1) - np - 1} \\ {k(n - 1) - np} \\ \end{array} } \right)} $$ and the representation $$\gamma _{n,k} = \sqrt {\frac{{24}}{\pi }} \cdot \frac{{(n - 1)^{2k - 1} }}{{\sqrt {2k - 1} }}\left[ {1\frac{1}{8} \cdot \frac{1}{{2k - 1}} + \omega (n,k)} \right],$$ , where $$\left| {\omega (n,k)} \right| < \frac{4}{{(2k - 1)\sqrt {ln(2k - 1)} }} + \sqrt {12\pi } \cdot \frac{{k^{\tfrac{3}{2}} }}{{n - 1}}\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{n - 1}}} \right)^{2k - 2} .$$ .

On positive solutions of a reciprocal difference equation with minimum

In this paper we consider positive solutions of the following difference equation $$x_{n + 1} = \min \left\{ {\frac{A}{{x_n }},\frac{B}{{x_{n - 2} }}} \right\}, A, B > 0.$$ We prove that every positive solution is eventually periodic. Also, we present here some results concerning positive solutions of the difference equation $$x_{n + 1} = \min \left\{ {\frac{A}{{x_n x_{n - 1} ...x_{n - k} }},\frac{B}{{x_{n - (k + 2)} ...x_{n - (2k + 2)} }}} \right\}, A, B > 0.$$      

On Certain Integral Operators of Fractional Type

In this paper we study integral operators of the form $$T\,f\left( x \right) = \int {k_1 \left( {x - a_1 y} \right)k_2 \left( {x - a_2 y} \right)...k_m \left( {x - a_m y} \right)f\left( y \right)dy} ,$$ $$k_i \left( y \right) = \sum\limits_{j \in Z} {2^{\frac{{jn}}{{q_i }}} } \varphi _{i,j} \left( {2^j y} \right),\,1 \leqq q_i < \infty ,\frac{1}{{q_1 }} + \frac{1}{{q_2 }} + ... + \frac{1}{{q_m }} = 1 - r,$$ $0 \leqq r < 1$ , and $\varphi _{i,j}$ satisfying suitable regularity conditions. We obtain the boundedness of $T:L^p \left( {R^n } \right) \to T:L^q \left( {R^n } \right)$ for $1 < p < \frac{1}{r}$ and $\frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{p} - r$ .     

On the strong summation of Fourier series with variable exponents

A note on simultaneous diophantine approximation

Refining earlier investigations due to J.M.MACK [7] by a method of MORDELL it is proved that for any two irrational numbers α, β there exist infinitely many pairs of fractions p/r, q/r satisfying the inequalities $$|\alpha - \frac{p}{r}|< \frac{8}{{13}}r^{ - 3/2} ,|\beta - \frac{q}{r}|< \frac{8}{{13}}r^{ - 3/2} .$$ .

On the convolution equation with positive kernel expressed via an alternating measure

We consider the integral convolution equation on the half-line or on a finite interval with kernel $$K(x - t) = \int_a^b {e^{ - \left| {x - t} \right|s} d\sigma (s)} $$ with an alternating measure dσ under the conditions $$K(x) > 0, \int_a^b {\frac{1}{s}\left| {d\sigma (s)} \right| < + \infty } , \int_{ - \infty }^\infty {K(x)dx = 2} \int_a^b {\frac{1}{s}d\sigma (s) \leqslant 1} .$$ The solution of the nonlinear Ambartsumyan equation $$\varphi (s) = 1 + \varphi (s) \int_a^b {\frac{{\varphi (p)}}{{s + p}}d\sigma (p)} ,$$ is constructed; it can be effectively used for solving the original convolution equation.

Regularized sums of half-integer powers of a Sturm-Liouville operator

We investigate the question of the regularized sums of part of the eigenvalues z_n (lying along a direction) of a Sturm-Liouville operator. The first regularized sum is $$\sum\nolimits_{n = 1}^\infty {(z_n - n - \frac{{c_1 }}{n} + \frac{2}{\pi } \cdot z_n arctg \frac{1}{{z_n }} - \frac{2}{\pi }) = \frac{{B_2 }}{2} - c_1 \cdot \gamma + \int_1^\infty {\left[ {R(z) - \frac{{l_0 }}{{\sqrt z }} - \frac{{l_1 }}{z} - \frac{{l_2 }}{{z\sqrt z }}} \right]} } \sqrt z dz,$$ where the z_n are eigenvalues lying along the positive semi-axis, z _n ² =λ_n, $$l_0 = \frac{\pi }{2}, l_1 = - \frac{1}{2}, l_2 = - \frac{1}{4}\int_0^\pi {q(x) dx,} c_1 = - \frac{2}{\pi }l_2 ,$$ , B₂ is a Bernoulli number, γ is Euler's constant, and \(R(z)\) is the trace of the resolvent of a Sturm-Liouville operator.     

On prime numbers of special kind on short intervals

Suppose that the Riemann hypothesis holds. Suppose that $$\psi _1 (x) = \mathop \sum \limits_{\begin{array}{*{20}c} {n \leqslant x} \\ {\{ (1/2)n^{1/c} \} < 1/2} \\ \end{array} } \Lambda (n)$$ where c is a real number, 1 < c ≤ 2. We prove that, for H>N ^1/2+10ε, ε > 0, the following asymptotic formula is valid: $$\psi _1 (N + H) - \psi _1 (N) = \frac{H}{2}\left( {1 + O\left( {\frac{1}{{N^\varepsilon }}} \right)} \right)$$ .     

Characterization of the Bernoulli-polynomials,exp andΨ by Nörlund's multiplication formula

The system of functional equations $$\forall p\varepsilon N_ + \forall (x,y)\varepsilon D:f(x,y) = \frac{1}{p}\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{p - 1} {f(x + ky,py)}$$ is suited to characterize the functions $$(x,y) \mapsto y^m B_m \left( {\frac{x}{y}} \right),m\varepsilon N,$$ B _m means them-th Bernoulli-polynomial, $$(x,y) \mapsto \exp (x)y(\exp (y) - 1)^{ - 1}$$ (for these functionsD =R ×R ₊) and $$(x,y) \mapsto \log y + \Psi \left( {\frac{x}{y}} \right)(D = R_ + \times R_ + )$$ as those continuous solutions of this system which allow a certain separation of variables and take on some prescribed function values.     

Fourier coefficients of Siegel cusp forms of genus n

Let F(Z) be a cusp form of integral weight k relative to the Siegel modular group Sp_n(Z) and let f(N) be its Fourier coefficient with index N. Making use of Rankin's convolution, one proves the estimate (1) $$f(\mathcal{N}) = O(\left| \mathcal{N} \right|^{\tfrac{k}{2} - \tfrac{1}{2}\delta (n)} ),$$ where $$\delta (n) = \frac{{n + 1}}{{\left( {n + 1} \right)\left( {2n + \tfrac{{1 + ( - 1)^n }}{2}} \right) + 1}}.$$ Previously, for n ≥ 2 one has known Raghavan's estimate $$f(\mathcal{N}) = O(\left| \mathcal{N} \right|^{\tfrac{k}{2}} )$$ In the case n=2, Kitaoka has obtained a result, sharper than (1), namely: (2) $$f(\mathcal{N}) = O(\left| \mathcal{N} \right|^{\tfrac{k}{2} - \tfrac{1}{4} + \varepsilon } ).$$ At the end of the paper one investigates specially the case n=2. It is shown that in some cases the result (2) can be improved to, apparently, unimprovable estimates if one assumes some analogues of the Petersson conjecture. These results lead to a conjecture regarding the optimal estimates of f(N), n=2.

Estimates for the coefficients of univalent functions in terms of the second coefficient

For the coefficients b_n of an odd function \(f(z) = z + \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^\infty {{}^bk^{z^{2k + 1} } } \) , regular in the unit disk, we obtain the estimate $$|b_n | \leqslant \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\sqrt {1 + |b_1 |^2 } \exp \frac{1}{2}\left( {\delta + \frac{1}{2}|b_1 |^2 } \right),where \delta = 0.312,$$ (1) from which it follows that ¦b_n¦≤1, if ¦b₁¦≤0.524.

Zur Abschätzung der Partitionsfunktion p(n) mit elementaren Mitteln

If p(n) denotes the number of all partitions n=n₁+...+=n_r of a natural number n, the inequality $$(\alpha - \varepsilon )\sqrt n< \log p(n)(with3\alpha = \pi \sqrt 6 )$$ (with 3α=π√6) holds for all n>N(ε). It is shown in the paper, that one can choose $$N(\varepsilon ) = \left( {\frac{{16}}{\varepsilon }} \right)^{\frac{2}{\varepsilon } + 2} $$ The elementary proof, given by GROSSWALD in [2], is modified in such a way, that one needs no results from integral calculus. Furthermore one can see, that the connection of α and π is not essential for the proof. All facts about the constant α, which are needed, can be derived from the formula $$\alpha ^2 = 4 \cdot (1 + \frac{1}{{2^2 }} + \frac{1}{{3^2 }} + ... + \frac{1}{{n^2 }} + ...).$$
