A question was recently asked about a generalization of the Fejer-Jackson inequality $$\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{\sin kx}{k}\gt 0 \quad \forall\: n\in\mathbb{Z}^+\: \text{and}\: 0\lt x\lt\pi$$ to ...

I am looking for a closed formula for the expressions $$ \sum_{k=1}^{n-1} \sin\left(\pi \frac{k}{n}\right)^m,$$ with $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $m \in \mathbb{N}$ odd. Playing with these sums a bit, I ...

let $x\in\mathbb{R}-\mathbb{Z}$ and $e(x)=e^{2\pi ix}$. If we have this sum $$\left|\overset{q}{\underset{h=1}{\sum}^{*}}e\left(h\, x\right)\underset{\underset{p\equiv h\,\textrm{mod}\, q}{p\leq N}}{\...

Hey guys, I'm concerned with bounding the following sum of gauss sums from above $$\sum_{p\leq x}~{\frac{1}{(p-1)^2}}\sum_{m=1}^{p-1}~\sum_{\chi~(p)}~\sum_{a=1}^{p-1}{~\chi^m(a)e\left(\frac{a}{p}\...

I am interested in bounding the following Salie-type ("twisted Kloosterman") sum $$ S(a,b,\beta) = \sum_{x \in \mathbb{Z}/{p^{\beta}}\mathbb{Z}} \left( \frac{x}{p^{\beta}} \right) \chi(ax + bx^{-1}). ...
