1. Introduction
We know the following fact: If , then the sine function and tangent function satisfy the following simultaneous inequalities
which is
One can consider the asymptotic expansion of the sum of the square of the first function and the last one in (1) as follows:
In 1989, inspired by the above formula (2), Wilker [1] proposed two open problems as follows:
- (1)
- If , then
- (2)
- There exists a largest constant c such thatfor .
Sumner et al. [2] affirmed the truth of two problems above and obtained a further result as follows: For , the double inequality
holds with the best constants and .
For the promotion and development of inequalities (3) and (5), interested readers can see [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43]. Recently, Zhu [44] established two new Wilker-type inequality for circular functions as follows.
Proposition 1.
Let . Then
holds, where can not be replaced by any larger number.
Proposition 2.
Let . Then
holds, where can not be replaced by any smaller number.
Resently, the author of this paper [45] shown two Wilker’s inequalities of exponential type for the functions and bounded by the function , and obtained the following results.
Proposition 3.
Let Then
holds with the best constant .
Proposition 4.
Let 2. Then
holds with the best constant .
In this paper we consider the asymptotic expansion of the following function
In order to obtain some more precise Wilker-type inequalities, letting in (10) we obtain the following result:
Then we obtain the following precise Wilker-type inequalities with fractional powers.
Theorem 1.
Let . Then
holds with the best constant .
Due to the high accuracy of the inequality established in this paper, we demonstrate it by the following technical route: using the power series expansions of the correlation functions whose Taylor coefficients are connected with Bernoulli numbers we realize our whole proof by estimating the ratio of two adjacent even-indexed Bernoulli numbers. Here, I would like to mention two conclusions of Euler, a famous mathematician in the history of mathematics, on the expansion of power series of cotangent function and Riemann zeta function:
which are the bridges between cotangent and Bernoulli number, Bernoulli number and Riemann zeta function. Some very interesting recent developments (see [46,47,48,49,50,51,52]) involving cotangent function have shown the connection of such functions to really essential open problems in Mathematics such as the Riemann Hypothesis, as well as to the study of important Number Theoretic functions, such as the Euler totient function. It is beneficial for readers to understand the internal relationship between the functions mentioned above in the number theory and other mathematical fields.
2. Lemmas

By mathematical induction we can prove the inequality (14). First, the inequality (14) is obviously true for . Let’s assume that (14) holds for , that is,
