A curious property of series involving terms of generalized sequences.
We prove that for all integers n ≥ 1 and real numbers x. The upper bound Si(π) is best possible. This result refines inequalities due to Fejér (1910) and Lenz (1951).
We prove: If then The constant is the best possible.
The main observation of this note is that the Lebesgue measure μ in the Turán-Nazarov inequality for exponential polynomials can be replaced with a certain geometric invariant ω ≥ μ, which can be effectively estimated in terms of the metric entropy of a set, and may be nonzero for discrete and even finite sets. While the frequencies (the imaginary parts of the exponents) do not enter the original Turán-Nazarov inequality, they necessarily enter the definition of ω.
