First the problem:
If D_n is the Dirichlet kernel, I need to show that there exist positive constants c_1 and c_2 such that
c_1 \log n \le \int\limits_{ - \pi }^\pi {\left| {D_n \left( t \right)} \right|dt} \le c_2 \log n
for n=2,3,4,....

The only thing I have been able to do is this:
<br /> \left| {D_n \left( t \right)} \right| = \frac{1}{\pi }\left( {\frac{1}{2} + \left| {\sum\limits_{N = 1}^n {\cos \left( {Nt} \right)} } \right|} \right) \le \frac{1}{\pi }\left( {\frac{1}{2} + n} \right)<br />
Which is not good enough.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit:
By "log" I mean the natural logarithm.

The integrals over ##\cos(Nt)|## are all constantly ##4##, hence ##\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}|D_n(t)|\leq \dfrac{1}{\pi}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+4n\right)## by the triangle inequality. So the real problem is to find a qualitatively better approximation for ##|\sum_{N=1}^{n}\cos(Nt)|##, i.e. using the negative terms in the Taylor expansions of ##\cos(Nt)##.
