Extract

In a recent paper (2) Rankin has proved that for all positive integral n where As stated by Rankin, his proof is not simple although it is based on elementary ideas. Also, as noted by him, no other proof is available for any inequality of the form with λ a positive constant independent of n. It is the main purpose of this note to give a simple proof for the following result which implies the truth of (3) with λ = ¼, though not the truth of (1).
