Bounds for Bateman’s \(G\)-function and its applications. (English) Zbl 1351.33003

Georgian Math. J. 23, No. 4, 579-586 (2016).
Summary: In this paper, we present an asymptotic formula for Bateman’s \(G\)-function \({G(x)}\) and deduce the double inequality \[ \frac{1}{2x^{2}+3/2}<G(x)-\frac{1}{x}<\frac{1}{2x^{2}}, \quad x>0. \] We apply this result to find estimates for the error term of the alternating series \(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{k-1}}{k+h}\), \(h\neq-1,-2,-3,\dots\). Also, we study the monotonicity of some functions involving the function \({G(x)}\). Finally, we propose a sharp double inequality for the function \({G(x)}\) as a conjecture.
