On a trigonometric sum of Vinogradov. (Q1429809): Difference between revisions

Put \[ f(m,n)= \sum_{k=1}^{n-1} \frac{\left|\sin\left(\frac{\pi kn}{n}\right)\right|} {\sin\left(\frac{\pi k}{n}\right)}, \] It is proved here that the mean value inequalities \[ c_1m(\log m+\gamma-\log\tfrac\pi2)\leq \tfrac1m \sum_{n=1}^m f(m,n)\leq c_2m(\log m+\gamma-\log\tfrac\pi2) \quad (m=2,3,\dots) \] hold with the best possible constant factors \[ c_1= \frac{1}{4[\gamma+\log\frac4\pi]}= 0.30533\dots\;, \qquad c_2= \frac{4}{\pi^2}= 0.40528\dots\;. \]
