An improved lower bound for a problem of Littlewood on the zeros of cosine polynomials

  • Benjamin Bedert

摘要

Let Z(N) denote the minimum number of zeros in [0, 2π] that a cosine polynomial of the form \(f_{A}(t)={\sum_{n \in A}} \cos nt\) f A ( t ) = n A cos n t can have when A is a finite set of non-negative integers of size ∣A∣ = N. It is an old problem of Littlewood to determine Z(N). In this paper, we obtain the lower bound Z(N) ≽ (log log N)(1+o(1)) which exponentially improves on the previous best bounds of the form Z(N) ≽ (log log log N)c due to Erdélyi and Sahasrabudhe.
