On the trigonometric polynomials of Fejér and Young

The trigonometric polynomials of Fejér and Young are defined by $S_n (x) = \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\tfrac{{\sin (kx)}} {k}}$S_n (x) = \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\tfrac{{\sin (kx)}} {k}} and $C_n (x) = 1 + \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\tfrac{{\cos (kx)}} {k}}$C_n (x) = 1 + \sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^n {\tfrac{{\cos (kx)}} {k}}, respectively. We prove that the inequality $\left( {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 9}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 9}} \right)\sqrt {15} \leqslant {{C_n \left( x \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{C_n \left( x \right)} {S_n \left( x \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {S_n \left( x \right)}}$\left( {{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 9}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 9}} \right)\sqrt {15} \leqslant {{C_n \left( x \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{C_n \left( x \right)} {S_n \left( x \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {S_n \left( x \right)}} holds for all n ≥ 2 and x ∈ (0, π). The lower bound is sharp.     

Strong convergence in nonparametric estimation of regression functions

The nonparametric regression problem has the objective of estimating conditional expectation. Consider the model $$Y = R(X) + Z$$ , where the random variableZ has mean zero and is independent ofX. The regression functionR(x) is the conditional expectation ofY givenX = x. For an estimator of the form $$R_n (x) = \sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {Y_i K{{\left[ {{{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} {c_n }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {c_n }}} \right]} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left[ {{{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} {c_n }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {c_n }}} \right]} {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {K\left[ {{{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} {c_n }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {c_n }}} \right]} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {K\left[ {{{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\left( {x - X_i } \right)} {c_n }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {c_n }}} \right]} }}} $$ , we obtain the rate of strong uniform convergence $$\mathop {\sup }\limits_{x\varepsilon C} \left| {R_n (x) - R(x)} \right|\mathop {w \cdot p \cdot 1}\limits_ = o({{n^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {(2 + d)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {(2 + d)}}} } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{n^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {(2 + d)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {(2 + d)}}} } {\beta _n \log n}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\beta _n \log n}}),\beta _n \to \infty $$ . HereX is ad-dimensional variable andC is a suitable subset ofR ^d .     

Strong isochronism of a center and a focus for systems with homogeneous nonlinearities

We suggest a new approach to studying the isochronism of the system

${{dx} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{dx} {dt}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {dt}} = - y + p_n (x,y),{{dy} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{dy} {dt}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {dt}} = x + q_n (x,y),$

where p _n and q _n are homogeneous polynomials of degree n. This approach is based on the normal form

${{dX} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{dX} {dt}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {dt}} = - Y + XS(X,Y),{{dY} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{dY} {dt}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {dt}} = X + YS(X,Y)$

and its analog in polar coordinates. We prove a theorem on sufficient conditions for the strong isochronism of a center and a focus for the reduced system and obtain examples of centers with strong isochronism of degrees n = 4, 5. The present paper is the first to give examples of foci with strong isochronism for the system in question.

     

On Bohr’s inequality

It is established that H. Bohr’s inequality \(\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {\left| {{{f^{\left( k \right)} \left( 0 \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{f^{\left( k \right)} \left( 0 \right)} {\left( {2^{{k \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {k 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} k!} \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left( {2^{{k \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {k 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} k!} \right)}}} \right| \leqslant \sqrt 2 \left\| f \right\|_\infty }\) is sharp on the class H _∞.     

XXZ Spin Chain with the Asymmetry Parameter Δ = −1/2: Evaluation of the Simplest Correlators

We consider a finite XXZ spin chain with periodic boundary conditions and an odd number of sites. It appears that for the special value of the asymmetry parameter = –1/2, the ground state of this system described by the Hamiltonian has the energy E ₀ = –3N/2. Although the ground state is antiferromagnetic, we can find the corresponding solution of the Bethe equations. Specifically, we can explicitly construct a trigonometric polynomial Q(u) of degree n = (N–1)/2, whose zeros are the parameters of the Bethe wave function for the ground state of the system. As is known, this polynomial satisfies the Baxter T–Q equation. This equation also has a second independent solution corresponding to the same eigenvalue of the transfer matrix T. We use this solution to find the derivative of the ground-state energy of the XXZ chain with respect to the crossing parameter . This derivative is directly related to one of the spin–spin correlators, which appears to be . In turn, this correlator gives the average number of spin strings for the ground state of the chain, . All these simple formulas fail if the number N of chain sites is even.     

On a conjecture of Zaremba

LetN _C (x) be the number of integersm≤x such that there is an integera with 1≤a<m, (a, m)=1 and all partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion ofa/m are at mostC. We prove for allx≥1 that $$N_c (x) > {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {\sqrt {2C} x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {2(1 - 1/C^2 )}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {2(1 - 1/C^2 )}}} }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\sqrt {2C} x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {2(1 - 1/C^2 )}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {2(1 - 1/C^2 )}}} }}$$ .     

Über die Primteiler-Anzahl ω(n)

It is shown by analytical means that, if one assumes the Riemann hypothesis, the asymptotic formula $$\sum\limits_{n \leqslant x} {\omega (n) = x 1n1n } x + B - x\int_l^{x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} } {\frac{{\{ t\} }}{{t^2 (1n x - 1n t)}}dt + O(x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2} + \varepsilon } )} $$ holds. This improves a result ofB. Saffari, who got a weaker error term by using the Dirichlet “hyperbola method”. The above formula, in turn, implies the Riemann hypothesis.     

The prime-counting function and its analytic approximations

The paper describes a systematic computational study of the prime counting function π(x) and three of its analytic approximations: the logarithmic integral \({\text{li}}{\left( x \right)}: = {\int_0^x {\frac{{dt}}{{\log \,t}}} }\), \({\text{li}}{\left( x \right)} - \frac{1}{2}{\text{li}}{\left( {{\sqrt x }} \right)}\), and \(R{\left( x \right)}: = {\sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^\infty {{\mu {\left( k \right)}{\text{li}}{\left( {x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 k}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} k}} } \right)}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\mu {\left( k \right)}{\text{li}}{\left( {x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 k}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} k}} } \right)}} k}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} k} }\), where μ is the Möbius function. The results show that π(x)x) for 2≤x≤10¹⁴, and also seem to support several conjectures on the maximal and average errors of the three approximations, most importantly \({\left| {\pi {\left( x \right)} - {\text{li}}{\left( x \right)}} \right|} < x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}}\) and \( - \frac{2}{5}x^{{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} < {\int_2^x {{\left( {\pi {\left( u \right)} - {\text{li}}{\left( u \right)}} \right)}du < 0} }\) for all x>2. The paper concludes with a short discussion of prospects for further computational progress.

On the order of the error function of the square-full integers

LetL(x) denote the number of square full integers ≤x. By a square-full integer, we mean a positive integer all of whose prime factors have multiplicity at least two. It is well known that $$\left. {L(x)} \right| \sim \frac{{\zeta ({3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2})}}{{\zeta (3)}}x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} + \frac{{\zeta ({2 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {2 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3})}}{{\zeta (2)}}x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3}} ,$$ where ζ(s) denotes the Riemann Zeta function. Let Δ(x) denote the error function in the asymptotic formula forL(x). On the basis of the Riemann hypothesis (R.H.), it is known that \(\Delta (x) = O(x^{\tfrac{{13}}{{81}} + \varepsilon } )\) for every ε>0. In this paper, we prove the following results on the assumption of R.H.: (1) $$\frac{1}{x}\int\limits_1^x {\Delta (t)dt} = O(x^{\tfrac{1}{{12}} + \varepsilon } ),$$ (2) $$\int\limits_1^x {\frac{{\Delta (t)}}{t}\log } ^{v - 1} \left( {\frac{x}{t}} \right) = O(x^{\tfrac{1}{{12}} + \varepsilon } )$$ for any integer ν≥1. In fact, we prove some general results and deduce the above from them. On the basis of (1) and (2) above, we conjecture that \(\Delta (x) = O(x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {12}}} \right. \kern-0em} {12}} + \varepsilon } )\) under the assumption of R.H.     

Weighted monotonicity inequalities for traces on operator algebras

Krätzel ([5]) defined a remainderΔ ₁(x) in the asymptotic ofT(x) and proved $$\Delta _1 (x)<< x^{{5 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {5 {12}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {12}}} \log ^4 x.$$ Using two different methods to estimate a special three-dimensional exponential sum we get the better results $$\Delta _1 (x)<< x^{{{282} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{282} {683}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {683}}} \log ^4 x$$ and $$\Delta _1 (x)<< x^{{{45} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{45} {109}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {109}} + \varepsilon } (\varepsilon > 0).$$

On the order of the error function of the square-full integers,II

LetL(x) denote the number of square-full integers not exceedingx. It is well-known that $$L\left( x \right) \sim \frac{{\zeta \left( {{3 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {3 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} \right)}}{{\zeta \left( 3 \right)}}x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} + \frac{{\zeta \left( {{2 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {2 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3}} \right)}}{{\zeta \left( 2 \right)}}x^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 3}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 3}} ,$$ whereζ(s) denotes the Riemann Zeta function, LetΔ(x) denote the error function in the asymptotic formula forL(x). On the assumption of the Riemann hypothesis (R.H.), it is known that $$\Delta x = O\left( {x^{13/81 + 8} } \right)$$ for everyε > 0. In this paper, we prove on the assumption of R.H. that $$\frac{1}{x}\int\limits_x^1 {\left| {\Delta \left( t \right)} \right|dt = O\left( {x^{1/10 + ^8 } } \right)} .$$ In fact, we prove a more general result. We conjecture that $$\Delta x = O\left( {x^{1/10 + ^8 } } \right)$$ under the assumption of the R.H.

Critical behavior of Gaussian model on diamond-type hierarchical lattices

It is proposed that the Gaussian type distribution constantb _qi in the Gaussian model depends on the coordination numberq _i of sitei, and that the relation holds amongb _qi ’s. The Gaussian model is then studied on a family of the diamond-type hierarchical (or DH) lattices, by the decimation real-space renormalization group following spin-rescaling method. It is found that the magnetic property of the Gaussian model belongs to the same universal class, and that the critical pointK* and the critical exponentv are given by and , respectively.
