1. Explicit truncated Perron formula
Here is Theorem 7.1 of
.
Theorem (2007)
Let $F(z)=\sum_{n}a_n/n^z$ be a Dirichlet series that converges absolutely
for $\Re z>\kappa_a$, and let $\kappa>0$ be strictly larger than
$\kappa_a$. For $x\ge1$ and $T\ge1$, we have
$$
\sum_{n\le x}a_n
=\frac1{2i\pi}\int_{\kappa-iT}^{\kappa+iT}F(z)\frac{x^zdz}z
+\mathcal{O}^*\left(
\int_{1/T}^{\infty}
\sum_{|\log(x/n)|\le u}\frac{|a_n|}{n^\kappa}
\frac{2x^\kappa du}{T u^2}
\right).
$$
See
for different versions.
We start with a majorant principle taken for instance from
,
chapter 7, Theorem 3.
Theorem
Let $\lambda_1,\cdots,\lambda_N$ be $N$ real numbers, and suppose
that $|a_n|\le A_n$ for all $n$. Then
$$
\int_{-T}^T\Bigl|\sum_{1\le n\le N}a_n e(\lambda_n t)\Bigr|^2dt
\le 3
\int_{-T}^T\Bigl|\sum_{1\le n\le N}A_n e(\lambda_n t)\Bigr|^2dt
$$.
The constant 3 has furthermore been shown to be optimal in
where the reader will find an intensive discussion on this
question. The next lower estimate is also proved there:
Theorem
Let $\lambda_1,\cdots,\lambda_N$ be $N$ be real numbers, and suppose
that $a_n\ge 0$ for all $n$. Then
$$
\int_{-T}^T\Bigl|\sum_{1\le n\le N}a_n e(\lambda_n t)\Bigr|^2dt
\ge
T \sum_{n\le N}a_n^2.
$$.
We follow the idea of Corollary 3 of
but rely on
to get the following.
Theorem (2013)
Let $(a_n)_{n\ge1}$ be a series of complex numbers that are such that
$\sum_n n|a_n|^2 < \infty$ and $\sum_n |a_n| < \infty$. We have, for $T\ge0$,
\begin{equation*}
\int_0^T\Bigl|
\sum_{n\ge1} a_{n}n^{it}
\Bigr|^{2}dt =
\sum_{n\le N}|a_n|^2 \bigl(T+\mathcal{O}^*(2\pi c_0(n+1))\bigr),
\end{equation*}
where $c_0=\sqrt{1+\frac23\sqrt{\frac{6}{5}}}$. Moreover, when $a_n$ is
real-valued, the constant $2\pi c_0$ may be reduced to $\pi c_0$.
This is Lemma 6.2 from .
Corollary 6.3 and 6.4 of
contain explicit versions of a Theorem of
Theorem (2013)
Let $(a_n)_{n\ge1}$ be a series of complex numbers that are such that
$\sum_n n|a_n|^2 < \infty$ and $\sum_n |a_n| < \infty$. We have, for $T\ge0$,
$$
\sum_{q\le Q}\frac{q}{\varphi(q)}
\sum_{\substack{\chi\mod q,\\ \text{$\chi$ primitive}}}
\int_{-T}^T
\biggl|\sum_{n}a_n \chi(n)n^{it}\biggr|^2dt
\le
7
\sum_{n}|a_n|^2( n+ Q^2\max(T, 3) ).
