$\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{\sin kx}{k^\alpha} >0\quad\text{for all}\ n=1,2,3,\ldots\ \text{and}\ 0<x<\pi, \text{and}\ \alpha \ge 1$
The Fejer-Jackson inequality as follows:
$$\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{\sin kx}k>0\quad\text{for all}\ n=1,2,3,\ldots\ \text{and}\ 0<x<\pi.$$
I conjecture that the inequality as follows holds:
$$\sum_{...

Sum of negative roots of a $5^{th}$ degree monic polynomial
Let $f(x)$ be a $4^{th}$ degree monic polynomial say $f(x) = x^4 + a_1x^3+a_2x^2+a_3x+a_4$ with the property that $a_1<0, a_4>0$ and $a_2<a_3$. They by Descartes' rule of signs we can ...
