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 ...

Infinite partial fraction expansions to compute fractional iterations and recurrences

Let say a function $f$ is defined iteratively over the set of positive integers, for instance $f(t+1)=f(f(t))$ or $f(t+1)=f(t)+f(t-1)$. Based on the recurrence relationship and initial conditions, how ...

Prove that these two definitions of "natural" integration constant coincide when both converge

These are two possible definitions of antiderivative (integral) incorporating a supposedly natural choice of an integration constant (see this question for further details). The first one is based on ...
