Increasing lower bounds and decreasing upper bounds for strengthened Jordan s inequality can be constructed and the errors of lower-upper bounds for strengthened Jordan s inequality can be estimated. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification 26D05 26D15. Keywords Jordan s inequality lower bound upper bound 1 Introduction The well-known Jordan s inequality 1 p. 33 reads that 2 tín 1 0 x n 1 1 n x 2 with equality holds if and only if x n 2. This inequality plays an important role in many areas of pure and applied mathematics. Jordan s inequality has been refined generalized and applied by many mathematicians. It was first extended to the following sínx 2 7 n2 - 4x2 0 x n 1 2 x n 12n 2 and then it was further refined to inequality sin 2 2 - 4 2 0 x n. 1 3 x n n3 2 For detailed information please refer to the expository and survey articles 2 and related references therein. In 3 Theorem or 2 a new method of sharpening Jordan s inequality was established by Li-Li which shows that one can obtain strengthened Jordan s inequalities from old ones. This result may be stated as follows. Theorem Li-Li Let g 0 n 2 0 1 be a continuous function. If sin x n 1 4 g x 0 x x then the double inequality 2 n sin x n- V 2 Kx f 1 h x 0 x n 2 1 5 2011 Kuo licensee Springer.
