Let An and Gn (respectively, A′n and G′n) be the weighted arithmetic and geometric means of x1, …, xn (respectively, 1 – x1, …, 1 – xn). We present sharp upper and lower bounds for the differences and . And we determine the best possible constants r and s such thatholds for all xi ∈ [a, b] (i = 1, …, n; 0 < a < b < 1). Our theorems extend and sharpen results of Fan, Cartwright and Field, McGregor and the author.

We consider the following boundary value problemwhere λ > 0 and 1 ≤ p ≤ n – 1 is fixed. The values of λ are characterized so that the boundary value problem has a positive solution. Further, for the case λ = 1 we offer criteria for the existence of two positive solutions of the boundary value problem. Upper and lower bounds for these positive solutions are also established for special cases. Several examples are included to dwell upon the importance of the results obtained.

Upper and lower bounds on the order of magnitude of $\sum\nolimits_{t = 1}^n {\lefttnq#x007C; {x_t } \righttnq#x007C;^{ - \alpha } } $, where xt is an integrated process, are obtained. Furthermore, upper bounds for the order of magnitude of the related quantity $\sum\nolimits_{t = 1}^n {v_t } \lefttnq#x007C; {x_t } \righttnq#x007C;^{ - \alpha } $, where vt are random variables satisfying certain conditions, are also derived.

AbstractWe study the multifractal structure of product measures. for a Borel probability measure μ and q, t Є , let and denote the multifractal Hausdorff measure and the multifractal packing measure introduced in [O11] Let μ be a Borel probability merasure on k and let v be a Borel probability measure on t. Fix q, s, t Є . We prove that there exists a number c > 0 such that for E ⊆k, F ⊆l and Hk+l provided that μ and ν satisfy the so-called Federer condition.Using these inequalities we give upper and lower bounds for the multifractal spectrum of μ × ν in terms of the multifractal spectra of μ and ν

The Difference

Exact upper and lower bounds on the difference between the arithmetic and geometric means are obtained. The inequalities providing these bounds may be viewed, respectively, as a reverse Jensen inequality and an improvement of the direct Jensen inequality, in the case when the convex function is the exponential.

AbstractFor any positive integer $n$, let $f(n)$ denote the number of solutions to the Diophantine equation $$\begin{eqnarray*}\frac{4}{n} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z}\end{eqnarray*}$$ with $x, y, z$ positive integers. The Erdős–Straus conjecture asserts that $f(n)\gt 0$ for every $n\geq 2$. In this paper we obtain a number of upper and lower bounds for $f(n)$ or $f(p)$ for typical values of natural numbers $n$ and primes $p$. For instance, we establish that $$\begin{eqnarray*}N\hspace{0.167em} {\mathop{\log }\nolimits }^{2} N\ll \displaystyle \sum _{p\leq N}f(p)\ll N\hspace{0.167em} {\mathop{\log }\nolimits }^{2} N\log \log N.\end{eqnarray*}$$ These upper and lower bounds show that a typical prime has a small number of solutions to the Erdős–Straus Diophantine equation; small, when compared with other additive problems, like Waring’s problem.

SynopsisThe present paper is concerned with developing the existence and asymptotic properties of the state density N(λ) associated with certain higher order random ordinary differential operators A of the formwhere Ao has homogeneous and ergodic coefficients with respect to the σ-algebra generated by the Wiener process q(ω, x). The analysis uses the Weyl min-max principle to determine rough upper and lower bounds for N(λ).
