Euler–Maclaurin formula in $\mathbb{Z}^d$

I was wondering whether there is a Euler–Maclaurin formula of sorts for expressions such as $$ \sum_{x \in [a,b]^d\cap \mathbb{Z}^d} f(x) - \int_{[a,b]^d}f(x) $$ where $d\ge 2$ is an integer, $a,b \...

Integral inequality implies $f(t)\equiv 0$ for all $t\geq T$ for some finite $T>0$?

Let $f:[0, \infty)\to [0, \infty)$ be non-increasing and satisfy for all $t>t_{0}$, $$f(t)+C\int_{t_{0}}^{t}f^{\gamma}(s)ds\leq \frac{1}{t-t_{0}}\int_{t_{0}}^{t}f(s)ds,$$ where $0<\gamma<1$ ...

$\int_0^u\int_{[-1,1]^2}\int_{[-1,1]^2}\frac{1}{r}e^{-\alpha^2|x-y|^2/r} \, dx\,dy\,dr\leq Cu^{\epsilon}\alpha^{-2\beta}$

I am looking for a proof for the following fact: for $U>0,\beta>0,$ there exists $C>0,\epsilon>0$ such that $$\forall u\in [0,U],\alpha\in\left]0,1\right],\int_0^u\int_{[-1,1]^2}\int_{[-1,...

Inequalities for the Gudermannian function of the type $\operatorname{gd}(x)\operatorname{gd}\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)<\text{upper bound}$, where $x>0$

After I've read the solution of Problem 4327 (see [1]) I wondered if an inequality for a similar upper bound in the RHS is feasible for the known as Gudermannian function $$\operatorname{gd}(x)\...
