Abstract

It is known that inequality zn1z1|z^n-1|\geq|z-1| holds on the circle z1/2=1/2|z-1/2|= 1/2, where nn is a positive integer. We prove that in fact nn can be real number not less then 1. We also prove following inequality as a lemma: cosnx<1sinxcos^nx\lt 1-sinx for real n>3n\gt3 and 2π/(n+1)x<π/22\pi/(n+1)\leq x \lt \pi/2.
