In this paper we investigate problems on almost everywhere convergence of subsequences of Riemann sums \md0 R_nf(x)=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}f\bigg(x+\frac{k}{n}\bigg),\quad x\in \ZT. \emd We establish a relevant connection between Riemann and ordinary maximal functions, which allows to use techniques and results of the theory of differentiations of integrals in $\ZR^n$ in mentioned problems. In particular, we prove that for a definite sequence of infinite dimension $n_k$ Riemann sums $R_{n_k}f(x)$ converge almost everywhere for any $f\in L^p$ with $p>1$.
In this paper, motivated by physical considerations, we introduce the notion of modified Riemann sums of Riemann-Stieltjes integrable functions, show that they converge, and compute them explicitely under various assumptions.
One of the approaches to the Riemann Hypothesis is the Nyman-Beurling criterion. Cotangent sums play a significant role. Here we investigate the values of these cotangent sums for various shifts of the argument.
We generalize the property that Riemann sums of a continuous function corresponding to equidistant subdivision of an interval converge to the integral of that function, and we give some applications of this generalization.
We give an estimate for sums appearing in the Nyman-Beurling criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis containing the Möbius function. The estimate is remarkably sharp in comparison to estimates of other sums containing the Möbius function. The methods intensively use tools from the theory of continued fractions and from the theory of Fourier series.
In various papers the authors have derived asymptotics for moments of certain cotangent sums related to the Riemann Hypothesis. S. Bettin has given an upper bound for the error term in these asymptotic results. In the present paper the authors establish a lower bound for the error term for the second moment.
We give an estimate for sums appearing in the Nyman-Beurling criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis. These sums contain the Möbius function and are related to the imaginary part of the Estermann zeta function. The estimate is remarkably sharp in comparison to other sums containing the Möbius function. The bound is smaller than the trivial bound - essentially the number of terms - by a fixed power of that number. The exponent is made explicit. The methods intensively use tools from the theory of continued fractions and from the theory of Fourier series.
We consider two integrals over $x\in [0,1]$ involving products of the function $ζ_1(a,x)\equiv ζ(a,x)-x^{-a}$, where $ζ(a,x)$ is the Hurwitz zeta function, given by $$\int_0^1ζ_1(a,x)ζ_1(b,x)\,dx\quad\mbox{and}\quad \int_0^1ζ_1(a,x)ζ_1(b,1-x)\,dx$$ when $\Re (a,b)>1$. These integrals have been investigated recently in \cite{SCP}; here we provide an alternative derivation by application of Feynman parametrization. We also discuss a moment integral and the evaluation of two doubly infinite sums containing the Riemann zeta function $ζ(x)$ and two free parameters $a$ and $b$. The limiting forms of…
Cotangent sums play a significant role in the Nyman-Beurling criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis. Here we investigate the maximum of the values of these cotangent sums over various sets of rational numbers in short intervals.
In this work we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a genus $0$ entire function $f(z)$ has only positive zeros by applying Hausdorff moment problem and Mergelyan's theorem, the obtained criterion is very much reminiscent of Xian-Jin Li's criterion on the Riemann hypothesis. We also apply this criterion to the Riemann hypothesis and the generalized Riemann hypothesis for certain Dirichlet $L$-series of real primitive characters.
Let $\mathbf{x}=(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ be an $n$-tuple of positive real numbers and the sequence $(x_i)_{i\in\mathbb{Z}}$ be its $n$-periodic extension. Given an $n$-tuple $\mathbf{r}=(r_1,\dots,r_n)$ of positive integers, let $a_i$ be the arithmetic mean of $x_{i+1},\dots,x_{i+r_i}$. We form the cyclic sums $S_n(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{r})=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i/a_{i}$, following the pattern of the long studied Shapiro sums, which correspond to all $r_i=2$, and more general Diananda sums, where all $r_i$ are equal. We find the asymptotics of the $\mathbf{r}$-independent lower bounds $A_{n,*}=\inf_{\mathbf{r}}…
We show that $$\bigg\|\sup_{0 < t < 1} \big|\sum_{n=1}^{N} e^{2πi (n(\cdot) + n^2 t)}\big| \bigg\|_{L^{4}([0,1])} \leq C_ε N^{3/4 + ε}$$ and discuss some applications to the theory of large values of Weyl sums. This estimate is sharp for quadratic Weyl sums, up to the loss of $N^ε$.
In this paper we derive uniform asymptotic expansions for the partial sums of the exponential series. We indicate how this information will be used in a later publication to obtain full and explicitly computable asymptotic expansions with error bounds for all zeros of the Taylor polynomials $p_{n-1}(z) = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} z^k/ k!$. Our proof is based on a representation of $p_{n-1}(nz)$ in terms of an integral of the form $\int_γ \frac{e^{nϕ(s)}}{s-z}ds$. We demonstrate how to derive uniform expansions for such integrals using a Riemann-Hilbert approach. A comparison with classical steepest des…
Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis we establish an upper bound for the sum of the M{\" o}bius function up to $x$. Our method is based on estimating the frequency with which intervals of a given length can contain an unusual number of ordinates of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function.
Consider the Riemann sum of a smooth compactly supported function h(x) on a polyhedron in R^d, sampled at the points of the lattice Z^d/t. We give an asymptotic expansion when t goes to infinity, writing each coefficient of this expansion as a sum indexed by the faces f of the polyhedron, where the f-term is the integral over f of a differential operator applied to the function h(x). In particular, if a Euclidean scalar product is chosen, we prove that the differential operator for the face f can be chosen (in a unique way) to involve only normal derivatives to f. Our formulas are valid for a …
We prove an Euler-Maclaurin formula for double polygonal sums and, as a corollary, we obtain approximate quadrature formulas for integrals of smooth functions over polygons with integer vertices. Our Euler-Maclaurin formula is in the spirit of Pick's theorem on the number of integer points in an integer polygon and involves weighted Riemann sums, using tools from Harmonic analysis. Finally, we also exhibit a classical trick, dating back to Huygens and Newton, to accelerate convergence of these Riemann sums.
We present a simple yet rigorous theory of integration that is based on two axioms rather than on a construction involving Riemann sums. With several examples we demonstrate how to set up integrals in applications of calculus without using Riemann sums. In our axiomatic approach even the proof of the existence of the definite integral (which does use Riemann sums) becomes slightly more elegant than the conventional one. We also discuss an interesting connection between our approach and the history of calculus. The article is written for readers who teach calculus and its applications. It might…
For the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line the terminal estimate have been proved, which had been conjectured by Lindelöf at the beginning of this Centure. The proof is based on the authors relations which connect the bilinear forms of the eigenvalues of the Hecke operators with sums of the Kloosterman sums. By the way, it is proved that for the Hecke series (which are associated with the eigenfunctions of the automorphic Laplacian) the natural analogue of the Lindelöf conjecture is true also. \noindent Bibl. 14.
We show that, for odd $d$, the $L^{\frac{d+2}2}$ bounds of Sogge and Xi for the Nikodym maximal function over manifolds of constant sectional curvature, are unstable with respect to metric perturbation, in the spirit of the work of Sogge and Minicozzi. A direct consequence is the instability of the bounds for the corresponding oscillatory integral operator. Furthermore, we extend our construction to show that the same phenomenon appears for any $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with a local totally geodesic submanifold of dimension $\lceil{\frac{d+1}2}\rceil$ if $d\ge 3$. In contrast, Sogge'…
