A two-sided inequality for the zeta function, digamma function, and cotangent
A two-sided inequality for the zeta function, digamma function, and cotangent
Let be the first Bernoulli polynomial, let denote the digamma function, and let be the Euler–Mascheroni constant. Define
For , the inequality conjecture.
This inequality would give a simple comparison between the Euler–Riemann zeta function, the digamma function, and the cotangent on the unit interval. The source presents it as a problem arising from the study of a related theorem; no resolution is supplied here.
