Prove $\int_{0}^{\infty} \cos(\omega x) \exp(-x^{\alpha}) \, {\rm d} x \ge {\alpha^2 \sqrt{\pi} \over 8} \exp \left( -\frac{\omega^2}{4} \right)$

I would like to prove that $$\int_{0}^{\infty} \cos(\omega x) \exp(-x^{\alpha}) \, {\rm d} x \ge {\alpha^2 \sqrt{\pi} \over 8} \exp \left( -\frac{\omega^2}{4} \right)$$ for any $\omega > 0$ and $...

A question on the sine function

The Fejer-Jackson-Gronwall inequality involving the sine function is as follows: $$\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{\sin kx}k>0\quad\text{for all}\ n=1,2,3,\ldots\ \text{and}\ 0<x<\pi.$$ Here I ask the ...

The discrete Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality

Let $p>1$, $q>1$, $0<\lambda<1$ be such that $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}+\lambda=2$. Suppose that $(a_{k})\in \ell^{p}(\mathbb{Z})$ and $(b_{k})\in \ell^{q}(\mathbb{Z})$. It is known ([1,2,3]...

On a monotonicity property of Fourier coefficients of truncated power functions

Is it true that $$a_{k,n}:=\int_0^{2\pi}x^k\cos(nx)\,dx$$ is nonincreasing in natural $n$ for each $k\in\{0,1,\dots\}$? This question is related to this previous one. Twice integrating by parts, one ...

Weak-type inequality for the partial Fourier sum operator

I'm studying harmonic analysis by myself. One of the online notes gives the following claim as a remark: For any $N \in \mathbb{Z}^{+}$, let's use $S_{N}$ to denote the partial ($N$ terms) Fourier sum ...

Monotonicity of a parametric integral

For real $x>0$, let $$f(x):=\frac1{\sqrt x}\,\int_0^\infty\frac{1-\exp\{-x\, (1-\cos t)\}}{t^2}\,dt.$$ How to prove that $f$ is increasing on $(0,\infty)$? Here is the graph $\{(x,f(x))\colon0<...

Approximation by gaussian mollification in Sobolev spaces

I have been trying to find a good estimate on the constant in the inequality (in dimension $d=3$ to simplify) $$\label{0}\tag{0} \|(1-e^{t\Delta})f\|_{L^{5/3}(\Bbb R^3)} \leq C_0\,t^{2/5}\, \|\nabla \...

$L^p$ estimate of a multiplier operator

I'm studying harmonic analysis by myself and I encountered the following claim about multipliers: consider a sequence of complex numbers $\{m_{n}\}_{n \in \mathbb{Z}}$ that satisfies: $$\sum_{n \in \...

Analogous form of Hardy-Littlewood maximal inequality (weak/strong type) on affine subspaces

I'm using some online notes (Professor Schlag, Yale University) to study harmonic analysis by myself. He introduced the following claim as an exercise: For any function $f \in L^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{d})$ ...

Uniform bound for an alternating series of functions

I have mainly two questions, the first one being motivated by the second one. 1) Is there a way to prove that $F(x) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{k+1} x^{2k}}{(2k)!}$ is bounded on $\mathbb{R}_+$ ...
