On convergence of ultraspherical lacunary series

Summary Kolmogoroff's classical result on the convergence of lacunary Fourier trigonometric series corresponding to a function of L² class has been extended to the convergence of the Fourier Ultraspherical series possessing lacunae similar to those supposed in Kolmogoroff's theorem for the trigonometric series.

On the Riesz transform associated with the ultraspherical polynomials

We define and investigate the Riesz transform associated with the differential operatorL _λ f(θ)=−f"(θ)−2λ cot’θ. We prove that it can be defined as a principal value and that it is bounded onL ^P ([0, π],dm _λ (θ)),dm _λ(θ)=sin^2λ θdθ, for every 1<p<∞ and of weak type (1,1). The same boundedness properties hold for the maximal operator of the truncated operators. The speed of convergence of the truncated operators is measured in terms of the boundedness inL ^P (dm _λ ), 1<p<∞, and weak type (1,1) of the oscillation and ρ-variation associated to them. Also, a multiplier theorem is proved to get the boundedness of the conjugate function studied by Muckenhoupt and Stein for 1<p<∞ as a corollary of the results for the Riesz transform. Moreover, we find a condition on the weightv which is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a weightu such that the Riesz transform is bounded fromL ^P (v dm _λ ) intoL ^P (u dm _λ ).

Characterizations of generalized Hermite and sieved ultraspherical polynomials

A new characterization of the generalized Hermite polyno-
mials and of the orthogonal polynomials with respect to the measure
is derived which is based on a ``reversing property" of the coefficients in the corresponding recurrence formulas and does not use the representation in terms of Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials. A similar characterization can be obtained for a generalization of the sieved ultraspherical polynomials of the first and second kind. These results are applied in order to determine the asymptotic limit distribution for the zeros when the degree and the parameters tend to infinity with the same order.

Kernels and best approximations related to the system of ultraspherical polynomials

We study the uniformly bounded orthonormal system of functions

where is the normalized system of ultraspherical polynomials. We investigate some approximation properties of the system and we show that these properties are similar to one's of the trigonometric system. First, we obtain estimates of L^p-norms of the kernels of the system . These estimates enable us to prove Nikol'skiı˘-type inequalities for -polynomials. Next, we prove directly that is a basis in each , where w is an arbitrary A_p-weight function. Finally, we apply these results to get sharp inequalities for the best -approximations in L^q in terms of the best -approximations in . For the trigonometric system such inequalities have been already known.     

Some relations between Jacobi and ultraspherical polynomials

Limit ultraspherical series and their approximation properties

We study new series of the form $\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)} $ in which the general term $f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)$ , k = 0, 1, …, is obtained by passing to the limit as α→?1 from the general term $\hat f_k^\alpha \hat P_k^{\alpha ,\alpha } (x)$ of the Fourier series $\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {f_k^\alpha \hat P_k^{\alpha ,\alpha } (x)} $ in Jacobi ultraspherical polynomials $\hat P_k^{\alpha ,\alpha } (x)$ generating, for α> ?1, an orthonormal system with weight (1 ? x ₂)α on [?1, 1]. We study the properties of the partial sums $S_n^{ - 1} (f,x) = \sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^n {f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)} $ of the limit ultraspherical series $\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {f_k^{ - 1} \hat P_k^{ - 1} (x)} $ . In particular, it is shown that the operator S _n ^?1 (f) = S _n ^?1 (f, x) is the projection onto the subspace of algebraic polynomials p _n = p _n (x) of degree at most n, i.e., S _n (p _n ) = p _n ; in addition, S _n ^?1 (f, x) coincides with f(x) at the endpoints ±1, i.e., S _n ^?1 (f,±1) = f(±1). It is proved that the Lebesgue function Λ _n (x) of the partial sums S _n ^?1 (f, x) is of the order of growth equal to O(ln n), and, more precisely, it is proved that $\Lambda _n (x) \leqslant c(1 + \ln (1 + n\sqrt {1 - x^2 } )), - 1 \leqslant x \leqslant 1$ .
