Let

1.1

denote the nth partial sum of the Fourier Legendre series of a function ƒ(x). The references available to us, except (5), prove only that Sn(ƒ, x) converges uniformly to ƒ(x) in [— 1, 1] if ƒ(x) has a continuous second derivative on [—1, 1]. Very recently Suetin (5) has shown by employing a theorem of A. F. Timan (7) (which is a stronger form of Jackson's theorem) that Sn(ƒ, x) converges uniformly to ƒ(x) ƒ(x) belongs to a Lipschitz class of order greater than 1/2 in [—1, 1]. More generally he has proved the following theorem.
