Popis: We determine the optimal inequality of the form $\sum_{k=1}^m a_k\sin kx\leq 1$, in the sense that $\sum_{k=1}^m a_k$ is maximal. We also solve exactly the analogous problem for the sawtooth (or signed fractional part) function. Equivalently, we solve exactly an optimization problem about equidistribution on the unit circle.
Comment: 19 pages, 6 figures; v2: Omitted the application to algebraic varieties of general type with small volume, in view of better results for that problem in arXiv:2109.13383
