For $k=0,\cdots, m$ and $l=0,\cdots 2m+1$ let us put $$ \alpha_{kl}=\frac{4k-4l+1}{4(m+1)}\pi\quad \beta_{kl}=\frac{4k+4l+3}{4(m+1)}\pi $$

and

$$x_{kl}=\frac{1}{4}\Big(\frac{1}{\sin\alpha_{kl}}+\frac{1}{\sin\beta_{kl}} \Big)$$

$$y_{kl}=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}\Big(\frac{\sin(\frac{\pi}{4}-\alpha_{kl})}{\sin\alpha_{kl}}+\frac{\sin(\frac{3\pi}{4}-\beta_{kl})}{\sin(\beta_{kl})} \Big) $$

$$z_{kl}=\frac{1}{2}\Big(\frac{\sin\frac{\alpha_{kl}}{2}}{\sin\alpha_{kl}}-\frac{\sin\frac{\beta_{kl}}{2}}{\sin\beta_{kl}}\Big)$$

How can we show that $x_{kl}+y_{kl}+z_{kl}>0$ ?

  • $\begingroup$ Having been on Math.SE for a while, you should know that the community prefers/expects a question to include something of what the asker knows (What have you tried? Where did you get stuck? etc.) This helps answerers avoid wasting time explaining things you already understand. ... That said, if my quick Mathematica calculation is correct, the sum simplifies rather nicely. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ To prove the invertibility of a principal submatrix of discrete sine transform matrix of type 1, I faced to this problem. I checked it by MATLAB but could not find any clear approach to get that. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Well, I can tell you that the sum reduces to (ignoring subscripts) $$\frac{\sin\frac14(\alpha+\beta)}{4\sin\frac14(\pi-\alpha)\;\sin\frac14(\pi+\beta)}$$ Can you take it from there? $\endgroup$
