From Ingham to Nazarov's inequality: a survey on some trigonometric inequalities
arXiv:2311.17714
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to give an overview of some inequalities about -norms ( or ) of harmonic (periodic) and non-harmonic trigonometric polynomials. Among the material covered, we mention Ingham's Inequality about 2 norms of non-harmonic trigonometric polynomials, the proof of the Littlewood conjecture by Mc Gehee, Pigno and Smith on the lower bound of the 1 norm of harmonic trigonometric polynomials as well as its counterpart in the non-harmonic case due to Nazarov. For the latter one, we give a quantitative estimate that completes our recent result with an estimate of 1-norms over small intervals. We also give some stronger lower bounds when the frequencies satisfy some more restrictive conditions (lacunary Fourier series, "multi-step arithmetic sequences"). Most proofs are close to existing ones and some open questions are mentioned at the end.
