The Hardy-Littlewood Function An Exercise in Slowly Convergent Series
نویسنده
چکیده
The function in question is H(x) = ∑∞ k=1 sin(x/k)/k. In deference to the general theme of this conference, a summation procedure is first described using orthogonal polynomials and polynomial/rational Gauss quadrature. Its effectiveness is limited to relatively small (positive) values of x. Direct summation with acceleration is shown to be more powerful for very large values of x. Such values are required to explore a (in the meantime disproved) conjecture of H. Alzer and C. Berg, according to which H(x) is bounded from below by −π/2.

Calculation and Applications of Epstein Zeta Functions
Rapidly convergent series are given for computing Epstein zeta functions at integer arguments. From these one may rapidly and accurately compute Dirichlet L functions and Dedekind zeta functions for quadratic and cubic fields of any negative discriminant. Tables of such functions computed in this way are described and numerous applications are given, including the evaluation of very slowly conv...
متن کاملLattice Points in Cones and Dirichlet Series
Hecke proved the meromorphic continuation of a Dirichlet series associated to the lattice points in a triangle with a real quadratic slope and found the possible poles in terms of the fundamental unit. An analogous result is proven for certain elliptical cones where now the poles are determined by the spectrum of the Laplacian on an arithmetic Riemann surface. 1 Some results of Hardy-Littlewood...
متن کاملFourier Series Acceleration and Hardy-littlewood Series
We discuss the effects of the δ2 and Lubkin acceleration methods on the partial sums of Fourier Series. We construct continuous, even Hölder continuous functions, for which these acceleration methods fail to give convergence. The constructed functions include some interesting trigonometric series whose properties were investigated by Hardy and Littlewood.

Let {cj} be a null sequence of bounded variation. We give appreciate smoothness and growth conditions on {cj} to obtain the pointwise convergence as well as Lr -convergence of Laguerre series ∑ cj a j .

متن کاملEstimates of Weighted Hardy-Littlewood Inequality for Differential Forms
Differential forms are interesting and important generalizations of real functions and distributions. Many interesting results and applications of differential forms have recently been found in some fields. As an important tool the Hardy-Littlewood inequality have been playing critical roles in many mathematics, including potential analysis, partial differential equations and the theory of elas...
