The Absolute Summability of Fourier Series*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

The problem under discussion is the relation between the behaviour of a function ɸ (t) near a particular point t = x and the behaviour of the partial sums sn of its Fourier series at that point. We start from Hardy and Littlewood’s theorem † that if ɸ(t) tends to a limit in the Ceaáro sense as tx, then the Fourier series at that point is summable in the Cesàro sense, and conversely. The exact order of the Cesàro means in each case is unspecified.
