Finite Trigonometric Character Sums via Discrete Fourier Analysis

چکیده
We prove several old and new theorems about finite sums involving characters and trigonometric functions. These sums can be traced back to theta function identities from Ramanujan’s notebooks and were systematically first studied by Berndt and Zaharescu; their proofs involved complex contour integration. We show how to prove most of Berndt–Zaharescu’s and some new identities by elementary methods of discrete Fourier Analysis.

Uniqueness for multiple trigonometric and Walsh series with convergent rearranged square partial sums
If at each point of a set of positive Lebesgue measure, every rearrangement of a multiple trigonometric series square converges to a finite value, then that series is the Fourier series of a function to which it converges uniformly. If there is at least one point at which every rearrangement of a multiple Walsh series square converges to a finite value, then that series is the Walsh-Fourier ser...
متن کاملOn Some Trigonometric Power Sums
In contrast to Fourier series, these finite power sums are over the angles equally dividing the upper-half plane. Moreover, these beautiful and somewhat surprising sums often arise in analysis. In this note, we extend the above results to the power sums as shown in identities (17), (19), (25), (26), (32), (33), (34), (35), and (36) and in the appendix. The method is based on the generating func...
متن کاملSome polynomial extremal problems which emerged in the twentieth century
Most of the “extremal problems” of Harmonic (or Fourier) Analysis which emerged before the year 2000 were actually born in the twentieth century, and their emergences were scattered throughout that century, including the two world war periods. A great many of these problems pertain to polynomials, trigonometric polynomials and (finite) exponential sums. Writing a reasonably complete monograph o...
متن کاملSome Extremal Functions in Fourier Analysis. Ii
We obtain extremal majorants and minorants of exponential type for a class of even functions on R which includes log |x| and |x|α, where −1 < α < 1. We also give periodic versions of these results in which the majorants and minorants are trigonometric polynomials of bounded degree. As applications we obtain optimal estimates for certain Hermitian forms, which include discrete analogues of the o...
