Trigonometric functions are often needed in embedded real-time software. To fulfill concrete resource demands, different implementation strategies of trigonometric functions are possible. In this paper we analyze the resource demands of iterative calculations compared to other implementation strategies, using the trigonometric functions as a case study. By analyzing the worst-case execution tim...

We prove the case ρ = 4 of the following conjecture of Koumandos and Ruscheweyh: let s μ n (z) := ∑n k=0 (μ)k k! z k , and for ρ ∈ (0, 1] let μ(ρ) be the unique solution of ∫ (ρ+1)π 0 sin(t − ρπ)tμ−1dt = 0 in (0, 1]. Then we have | arg[(1− z)ρs n (z)]| ≤ ρπ/2 for 0 < μ ≤ μ(ρ), n ∈ N and z in the unit disk of C and μ(ρ) is the largest number with this property. For the proof of this other new re...

Starting from certain inequalities for hyperbolic and trigonometric functions, we obtain some general inequalities for functions and their inverses. As applications, refinements and new inequalities for hyperbolic and trigonometric functions are pointed out.

When we fix one side and draw different tangential quadrilaterals having the same side lengths but different angles we observe that their incenters lie on a circle. Based on a known formula expressing the incircle radius of a tangential quadrilateral by its tangent lengths, some older results will be presented in a new light and the equation of the before mentioned circle will appear. This circ...

In this note, we describe a method for establishing trigonometric inequalities that involve symmetric functions in the cosines of the angles of a triangle. The method is based on finding a complete set of relations that define the cosines of such angles.

We prove the right Lax-type inequality on subarcs of the unit circle of the complex plane for complex algebraic polynomials of degree n having no zeros in the open unit disk. This is done by establishing the right Bernstein-Szegő-Videnskii type inequality for real trigonometric polynomials of degree at most n on intervals shorter than the period. The paper is closely related to recent work by B...

This study is concerned with the visualization of monotone data using a piecewise C rational trigonometric interpolating scheme. Four positive shape parameters are incorporated in the structure of rational trigonometric spline. Conditions on two of these parameters are derived to attain the monotonicity of monotone data and other two are left free. Figures are used widely to exhibit that the pr...
