Sharp bounds for harmonic numbers

In the paper, we first survey some results on inequalities for bounding harmonic numbers or Euler-Mascheroni constant, and then we establish a new sharp double inequality for bounding harmonic numbers as follows: For $n\in\mathbb{N}$, the double inequality -\frac{1}{12n^2+{2(7-12\gamma)}/{(2\gamma-1)}}\le H(n)-\ln n-\frac1{2n}-\gamma<-\frac{1}{12n^2+6/5} is valid, with equality in the left-hand side only when $n=1$, where the scalars $\frac{2(7-12\gamma)}{2\gamma-1}$ and $\frac65$ are the best possible.Comment: 7 page

Some sharp inequalities involving Seiffert and other means and their concise proofs

In the paper, by establishing the monotonicity of some functions involving the sine and cosine functions, the authors provide concise proofs of some known inequalities and find some new sharp inequalities involving the Seiffert, contra-harmonic, centroidal, arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, and root-square means of two positive real numbers $a$ and $b$ with $a\ne b$.Comment: 10 page

The monotonicity and convexity of a function involving digamma one and their applications

Let $\mathcal{L}(x,a)$ be defined on $\left( -1,\infty \right) \times \left( 4/15,\infty \right)$ or $\left( 0,\infty \right) \times \left( 1/15,\infty \right)$ by the formula% \begin{equation*} \mathcal{L}(x,a)=\tfrac{1}{90a^{2}+2}\ln \left( x^{2}+x+\tfrac{3a+1}{3}% \right) +\tfrac{45a^{2}}{90a^{2}+2}\ln \left( x^{2}+x+\allowbreak \tfrac{% 15a-1}{45a}\right) . \end{equation*} We investigate the monotonicity and convexity of the function $x\rightarrow F_{a}\left( x\right) =\psi \left( x+1\right) -\mathcal{L}(x,a)$, where $\psi$ denotes the Psi function. And, we determine the best parameter $a$ such that the inequality \psi \left( x+1\right) \right) \mathcal{L}% (x,a) holds for $x\in \left( -1,\infty \right)$ or $\left( 0,\infty \right)$, and then, some new and very high accurate sharp bounds for pis function and harmonic numbers are presented. As applications, we construct a sequence $\left( l_{n}\left( a\right) \right)$ defined by $l_{n}\left( a\right) =H_{n}-\mathcal{L}\left( n,a\right)$, which gives extremely accurate values for $\gamma$.Comment: 20 page

Some remarks on harmonic projection operators on spheres

We give a survey of recent works concerning the mapping properties of joint harmonic projection operators, mapping the space of square integrable functions on complex and quaternionic spheres onto the eigenspaces of the Laplace-Beltrami operator and of a suitably defined subLaplacian. In particular, we discuss similarities and differences between the real, the complex and the quaternionic framework
