Let ‎‎$‎r<-1‎$ ‎be a‎ ‎fixed ‎real ‎number ‎and ‎define ‎the ‎function‎ $f:[1‎, +‎\infty)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ by ‎$‎f(x) = -x^r‎$‎. ‎I‎n this case, $‎f‎$ ‎is ‎concave ‎and ‎increasing‎ ‎on ‎‎$‎[1, +\infty)‎$‎‎‎‎‎. Also, we know ‎‎$‎‎\zeta‎(r) = \sum_{k=1}^\infty ‎\frac{1}{k^r}‎$ ‎for ‎‎$‎r\in ‎\mathbb{C}‎‎$ ‎and‎ ‏‎$‎‎‎‎\zeta‎(r, q) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty ‎\frac{1}{(q+k)^r}‎‎$‎‏ ‎for ‎each ‎fix ‎complex ‎‎$‎q‎$ ‎with ‎‎$‎Re(q)>0‎$‎. Now, my question is:‎‎

‎‏‎Are the following inequality established‏?‎‎‎

Case 1. ‎\begin{align*}‎ ‎‎‎‎‎‎\zeta‎(-r, x) - ‎\zeta‎(-r) + ‎\frac{x^{r+1}}{r+1} \geq ‎\frac{1}{r+1}‎,‎‎‎‎‎‎ ‎‎ ‎\end{align*}‎ ‎for ‎$‎x\geq 1‎$‎.‎‎‎

Case ‎2.‎ ‎\begin{align*}‎‎ ‎\zeta‎(-r, x+1) - ‎\zeta‎(-r)\geq ‎\frac{-1-x^r}{2} -‎ ‎\int_{1}^x ‎t^r ‎dt,‎ ‎\end{align*}‎‎ ‎for ‎$‎x\geq 1‎$‎.
