Comonotone approximation of twice differentiable periodic functions

In the case where a 2π-periodic function f is twice continuously differentiable on the real axis ℝ and changes its monotonicity at different fixed points y _i ∈ [− π, π), i = 1,…, 2s, s ∈ ℕ (i.e., on ℝ, there exists a set Y := {y _i } _i∈ℤ of points y _i = y _i+2s + 2π such that the function f does not decrease on [y _i , y _i−1] if i is odd and does not increase if i is even), for any natural k and n, n ≥ N(Y, k) = const, we construct a trigonometric polynomial T _n of order ≤n that changes its monotonicity at the same points y _i ∈ Y as f and is such that

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.

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.
