We study Cauchy means of Dirichlet polynomials
These integrals were investigated when
q=1,σ=1,s=1/2 by Wilf, using integral operator theory and Widom’s eigenvalue estimates. We show the optimality of some upper bounds obtained by Wilf. We also obtain new estimates for the case
q≥1,
σ≥0 and
s>0. We complete Wilf’s approach by relating it with other approaches (having notably connection with Brownian motion), allowing simple proofs, and also prove new results.
