Explicit results on exponential sums ==================================== .. if-builder:: html .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 Collecting references: :cite:`Daboussi-Rivat01`. 1. Bounds with the first derivative ----------------------------------- We start with the Kusmin-Landau Lemma. .. admonition:: Theorem :class: thm-tme-emt Let :math:`f` be a function over :math:`[a, b]` such that :math:`f^\prime` is monotonic and satisfies :math:`\theta \le f^\prime(u)\le 1-\theta` for some :math:`\theta \in(0,1/2]`. Then :math:`\displaystyle \biggl|\sum_{a\le n\le b} e(f(n))\biggr| \le \cot\frac{\pi\theta}{2}\le \frac{2}{\pi \theta}.` 2. Bounds with the second derivative ------------------------------------ Here is a corrected version of Lemma 3 of :cite:`Cheng-Graham01`, see Lemma 2.3 of :cite:`Patel22`. .. admonition:: Theorem (2004) :class: thm-tme-emt Let :math:`f` be a real-valued function with two continuous derivatives on :math:`[N+1, N+L]`. Suppose there are :math:`W > 1` and :math:`\lambda > 1` such that :math:`1 \le W |f^{\prime\prime}(x)| \le \lambda` for every :math:`x\in [N+1, N+L]`. Then we have :math:`\displaystyle \biggl|\sum_{n= N+1}^{N+L} \exp( 2i\pi f(n)) \biggr| \le 2\biggl(\frac{L \lambda}{W} +2\biggr) \biggl(2\sqrt{\frac{W}{\pi}} + 1\biggr).` 3. Bounds with the third derivative ----------------------------------- Here is Lemma 1.2 of :cite:`Hiary16b`. See Lemma 2.3 :cite:`Patel22`. .. admonition:: Theorem (2016) :class: thm-tme-emt Let :math:`f` be a real-valued function with three continuous derivatives on :math:`[N+1, N+L]`. Suppose there are :math:`W > 1` and :math:`\lambda > 1` such that :math:`1 \le W |f^{\prime\prime\prime}(x)| \le \lambda` for every $x\in [N+1, N+L]:math:`. Then, for any `\eta > 0$, we have :math:`\displaystyle \biggl|\sum_{n= N+1}^{N+L} \exp( 2i\pi f(n)) \biggr|^2 \le (LW^{-1/3} +\eta) (\alpha L + \beta W^{2/3})` where :math:`\displaystyle \alpha = \frac{1}{\eta} +\frac{64\lambda}{75} \sqrt{\eta + W^{-1/3}}+\frac{\lambda\eta}{W^{1/3}} +\frac{\lambda}{W^{2/3}},` and :math:`\displaystyle \beta = \frac{65}{15\sqrt{\eta}} + \frac{3}{W^{1/3}}.` 4. Bounds with higher derivatives --------------------------------- See Lemma 3.1 and 3.2 of :cite:`Patel22`. 5. Iterated Van der Corput Inequality ------------------------------------- During the proof of Lemma 8.6 in :cite:`Granville-Ramare96` one finds the next inequality. .. admonition:: Theorem (1996) :class: thm-tme-emt Let :math:`f` be a real-valued function with :math:`k+1` continuous derivatives on :math:`(A, B]` and let :math:`N` be a lower bound for the number of integers in :math:`(A,B]`. The quantity :math:`\displaystyle \biggl|\frac{1}{8N} \sum_{A < n\le B} \exp(2 i \pi f(n))\biggr|^{2^k}` is bounded above by :math:`\displaystyle \frac{1}{8}\biggl(\frac{1}{Q} + \frac{1}{Q^{2-2^{1-k}}} \sum_{r_1 =1}^{Q2^{-0}} \sum_{r_2 =1}^{Q2^{-1}} \cdots \sum_{r_k =1}^{Q2^{-k+1}} \biggl| \frac{1}{N} \sum_{A < n \le B-r_1-r_2-\cdots-r_k} \exp(\pm 2i\pi f_{r_1,\cdots,r_k}(n)) \biggr| \biggr)` where the function :math:`f_{r_1,\cdots,r_k}` satisfies :math:`\displaystyle \forall t,\ \exists y\in[t, t + r_1 + \cdots + r_k], \quad f^{\prime}_{r_1,\cdots, r_k}(t) = r_1r_2\cdots r_k f^{(k+1)}(y).` 6. Explicit Poisson Formula --------------------------- Here is a consequence of the main theorem of :cite:`Karatsuba-Korolev07`. .. admonition:: Theorem (2007) :class: thm-tme-emt Suppose :math:`f^\prime` is decreasing on :math:`[N+1,N+L]` and set :math:`f^\prime(N+L)=\alpha` and :math:`f^\prime(N) = \beta`. For integer :math:`\nu\in(\alpha, \beta]`, let :math:`x_\nu` be the solution to :math:`f^\prime(x)=\nu`. Suppose further that :math:`\lambda_2\le |f^{\prime\prime}(x)|\le h_2\lambda_2` and :math:`\lambda_3\le |f^{\prime\prime\prime}(x)|\le h_3\lambda_3`. Then :math:`\displaystyle \sum_{n=N+1}^{N+L} \exp(2i\pi f(n)) = \sum_{\alpha < \nu\le \beta} \frac{\exp(2i\pi (f(x_\nu)-\nu x_\nu-1/8))}{\sqrt{f^{\prime\prime}(x_\nu)}} +\mathcal{E}` where :math:`\displaystyle |\mathcal{E}|\le \frac{40}{\sqrt{\pi}}\lambda^{-1/2} + \frac{3+2h_2}{\pi} \log(\beta-\alpha+2) + 2.9 h_2h_3^{1/5}L(\lambda_2\lambda_3)^{1/5} +1.9.`
