Abstract

For α∈ (0,1) and x∈ [0,π, we define S0(x,α) = 1 and where Also, we set, for α∈ (0,1), where it is agreed that infØ =∞. It is shown in this paper that and 8≤ N(α)<∞ if α0<α<α*, where α*:=0.33542. . . is the unique solution α∈ (0,1) of the equation while α0= 0.308443. . . is the unique solution α∈ (0,1) of the equation In the case α*<α<1, this extends a result of Brown, Wang and Wilson (1993).
