Abstract: Let S(t)=frac1piargzeta(frac12+it) be the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point frac12+it. For ngeq1 and t>0 define its iterates �egin{equation*} S_n(t) = int_0^t S_{n-1}( au) ,{ m d} au, + delta_n,, end{equation*} where deltan is a specific constant depending on n and S0(t):=S(t). In 1924, J. E. Littlewood proved, under the Riemann hypothesis (RH), that Sn(t)=O(logt/(loglogt)n+1). The order of magnitude of this estimate was never improved up to this date. The best bounds for S(t) and S1(t) are currently due to Carneiro, Chandee and Milinovich. In this paper we establish, under RH, an explicit form of this estimate �egin{equation*} -left( C^-_n + o(1) ight) frac{log t}{(log log t)^{n+1}} leq S_n(t) leq left( C^+_n + o(1) ight) frac{log t}{(log log t)^{n+1}},, end{equation*} for all ngeq2, with the constants Cnpm decaying exponentially fast as noinfty. This improves (for all ngeq2) a result of Wakasa, who had previously obtained such bounds with constants tending to a stationary value when noinfty. Our method uses special extremal functions of exponential type derived from the Gaussian subordination framework of Carneiro, Littmann and Vaaler for the cases when n is odd, and an optimized interpolation argument for the cases when n is even. In the final section we extend these results to a general class of L-functions.
