Young's integral inequality is reformulated with upper and lower bounds for the remainder. The new inequalities improve Young's integral inequality on all time scales, such that the case where equality holds becomes particularly transparent…

We investigate the large values of the derivatives of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ on the 1-line. We give a larger lower bound for $\max_{t\in[T,2T]}|\zeta^{(\ell)}(1+{\rm i} t)|$, which improves the previous result established by…

Much work has been done attempting to understand the dynamic behaviour of the so-called "3x+1" function. It is known that finite sequences of iterations with a given length and a given number of odd terms have some combinatorial properties…

In this paper, new upper and lower bounds for the Trapezoid inequality of absolutely continuous functions are obtained. Applications to some special means are provided as well.

Consider a topological dynamical system $(X, T)$ endowed with the metric $d$. We introduce a novel function as $\overline{BF}(x, y) = \limsup_{n-m \rightarrow +\infty} \inf_{\sigma \in S_{n,m}} \frac{1}{n-m} \sum_{k=m}^{n-1} d\left(T^{k} x,…

In this paper, we establish some upper bounds for Berezin number inequalities including of $2\times 2$ operator matrices and their off-diagonal parts. Among other inequalities, it is shown that if $T=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 0&X, Y&0…

We give an explicit upper bound for non-principal Dirichlet $L$-functions on the line $s=1+it$. This result can be applied to improve the error in the zero-counting formulae for these functions.

This paper derives a lower bound on the spacing between adjacent zeros of the confluent hypergeometric function $\Phi(a,b,z)$ when $a$ is variable and $(b,z) \in \mathbb{R}^+$ are known and fixed. Monotonicity of the bound is established,…

Let $S_{(x,y]} = \left\{\frac{p_n}{p_{n+1}-2} :~ n\in I \right\}$, where $I = \left\{n :~ x<p_n \le y \right\}$, $p_n$ is the $n$-th prime and $x, y \in \mathbb{R}_{>0}$. If $M_\alpha(x,y)$ denotes the $\alpha$-power mean of the elements of…

We prove explicit uniform two-sided bounds for the phase functions of Bessel functions and of their derivatives. As a consequence, we obtain new enclosures for the zeros of Bessel functions and their derivatives in terms of inverse values…

Simple bounds are obtained for the integral $\int_0^x\mathrm{e}^{-\gamma t}t^\nu I_\nu(t)\,\mathrm{d}t$, $x>0$, $\nu>-1/2$, $0\leq\gamma<1$, together with a natural generalisation of this integral. In particular, we obtain an upper bound…

If $f(x,y)$ is a real function satisfying $y>0$ and $\sum_{r=0}^{n-1}f(x+ry,ny)=f(x,y)$ for $n=1,2,3,\ldots$, we say that $f(x,y)$ is an invariant function. Many special functions including Bernoulli polynomials, Gamma function and Hurwitz…

Let $I, J\subset \mathbb{R}$ be closed intervals, and let $H$ be $C^{3}$ smooth real valued function on $I\times J$ with nonvanishing $H_{x}$ and $H_{y}$. Take any fixed positive numbers $a,b$, and let $d\mu$ be a probability measure with…

Simple upper and lower bounds are obtained for the integral $\int_0^x\mathrm{e}^{-\gamma t}t^\nu I_\nu(t)\,\mathrm{d}t$, $x>0$, $\nu>-\frac{1}{2}$, $0<\gamma<1$. Most of our bounds for this integral are tight as $x\rightarrow\infty$. We…

We obtain reasonably tight upper and lower bounds on the sum $\sum_{n \leqslant x} \varphi \left( \left\lfloor{x/n}\right\rfloor\right)$, involving the Euler functions $\varphi$ and the integer parts $\left\lfloor{x/n}\right\rfloor$ of the…

Let $\phi(n)$ be the Euler totient function and $\sigma(n)$ denote the sum of divisors of $n$. In this note, we obtain explicit upper bounds on the number of positive integers $n\leq x$ such that $\phi(\sigma(n)) > cn$ for any $c>0$. This…

For $\alpha, \beta, \delta \in [0,1], \alpha +\beta = 1 $ we consider sets $$ {\rm BAD}^* (\alpha, \beta ;\delta) = \left\{\xi = (\xi_1,\xi_2) \in [0,1]^2: ,\inf_{p\in \mathbb{N}} \max \{(p\log(p+1))^\alpha ||p\xi_1||, (p\log (p+1))^\beta…

This paper describes a method to compute lower bounds for moments of $\zeta$ and $L$-functions. The method is illustrated in the case of moments of $|\zeta(\frac 12+it)|$, where the results are new for small moments $0< k<1$.
