Abstract: In 1974, Askey and Steinig showed that for n⩾0 and x∈(0,2π), Sn(x)=∑k=0nsin((k+1/4)x)k+1>0andCn(x)=∑k=0ncos((k+1/4)x)k+1>0. We prove that (0.1)Sn(x)+Cn(x)⩾12 and that the alternating sums Sn∗(x)=∑k=0n(−1)ksin((k+1/4)x)k+1andCn∗(x)=∑k=0n(−1)kcos((k+1/4)x)k+1 satisfy (0.2)Sn∗(x)+Cn∗(x)⩾1200(13−85)300+2085=0.41601…. Both inequalities hold for all n⩾0 and x∈[0,2π]. The constant lower bounds given in (0.1) and (0.2) are best possible. The asymptotic behaviour of both sums is also investigated.
