Abstract
We study a Turán extremal problem on the largest mean value of a 1-periodic even function with nonnegative Fourier coefficients, fixed value at zero, and support on a closed interval \([ - h,h],0 < h \leqslant 1/2\). We show how the solution of this extremal problem for rational numbers h=p/q is related to the solution of two finite-dimensional problems of linear programming. The solution of the Turán problem for rational numbers h of the form 2/q, 3/q, 4/q, \(p/(2p + 1)\) is obtained. Applications of the Turán problem to analytic number theory are given.
