Abstract

We study the sharp constant Wn(D)W_{n}(D) in Wiener's inequality for positive definite functions Tnf2dxWn(D)D1Df2dx,DTn. \int_{\mathbb{T}^{n}}|f|^{2}\,dx\le W_{n}(D)|D|^{-1}\int_{D}|f|^{2}\,dx,\quad D\subset \mathbb{T}^{n}. N. Wiener proved that W1([δ,δ])<W_{1}([-\delta,\delta])<\infty, δ(0,1/2)\delta\in (0,1/2). E. Hlawka showed that Wn(D)2nW_{n}(D)\le 2^{n}, where DD is an origin-symmetric convex body. We sharpen Hlawka's estimates for DD being the ball BnB^{n} and the cube InI^{n}. In particular, we prove that Wn(Bn)2(0.401+o(1))nW_{n}(B^{n})\le 2^{(0.401\ldots +o(1))n}. We also obtain a lower bound of Wn(D)W_{n}(D). Moreover, for a cube D=1qIn D=\frac1q I^{n} with q=3,4,,q=3,4,\ldots, we obtain that Wn(D)=2nW_{n}(D)=2^{n}. Our proofs are based on the interrelation between Wiener's problem and the problems of Tur\'an and Delsarte.
