Abstract

In the present paper we study the asymptotic behavior of trigonometric products of the form prod _{k=1}^N 2 sin (pi x_k) for N rightarrow infty , where the numbers omega =(x_k)_{k=1}^N are evenly distributed in the unit interval [0, 1]. The main result are matching lower and upper bounds for such products in terms of the star-discrepancy of the underlying points omega , thereby improving earlier results obtained by Hlawka (Number theory and analysis (Papers in Honor of Edmund Landau, Plenum, New York), 97–118, 1969). Furthermore, we consider the special cases when the points omega are the initial segment of a Kronecker or van der Corput sequences The paper concludes with some probabilistic analogues.

Summary

Introduction and statement of the results

Let f be a function f : [0, 1] → R+0 and (xk)k≥1 be a sequence of numbers in the unit interval. 2 sin(π {nα}) = |2 sin(π nα)| , n=1 n=1 where α is a given irrational number, i.e., we consider the special case when (xn)n≥1 is the Kronecker sequence ({nα})n≥1. Such products play an essential role in many fields and are the best studied such Weyl products in the literature. It is interesting that the constant π/ 6 in Theorem 1 is exactly the same as in results obtained by Fukuyama [13] for products |2 sin(π nkα)| and |2 cos(π nkα)| under the “super-lacunary” gap condition nk+1/nk → ∞. 2 we will prove Theorems 1 and 2, which give estimates of Weyl products in terms of the discrepancy of the numbers (xk)1≤k≤N.
