The Mathieu’s series S(r) was considered firstly by É.L. Mathieu in 1890; its alternating variant Š(r) has been recently introduced by Pogány et al. [Some families of Mathieu a-series and alternating Mathieu a-series, 2006] where various bounds have been established for S, Š. In this note we obtain new upper bounds over S(r), Š(r) with the help of Hardy–Hilbert double integral inequality.
