Convergence rate of Cesàro means of Fourier-Laplace series

The convergence rate of Fourier-Laplace series in logarithmic subclasses of L²(Σd) defined in terms of moduli of continuity is of interest. Lin and Wang [C. Lin, K. Wang, Convergence rate of Fourier-Laplace series of L²-functions, J. Approx. Theory 128 (2004) 103-114] recently presented a characterization of those subclasses and provided the almost everywhere convergence rates of Fourier-Laplace series in those subclasses. In this note, the almost everywhere convergence rates of the Cesàro means for Fourier-Laplace series of the logarithmic subclasses are obtained. The strong approximation order of the Cesàro means and the partial summation operators are also presented.     

Maximal function and multiplier theorem for weighted space on the unit sphere

For a family of weight functions invariant under a finite reflection group, the boundedness of a maximal function on the unit sphere is established and used to prove a multiplier theorem for the orthogonal expansions with respect to the weight function on the unit sphere. Similar results are also established for the weighted space on the unit ball and on the standard simplex.     

Divergence of Cesàro means of spherical h-harmonic expansions

A divergence result for Cesàro means of spherical h-harmonics expansions with a product weight is proved in this short note.     

Convergence rate of spherical harmonic expansions of smooth functions

We extend a well-known result of Bonami and Clerc on the almost everywhere (a.e.) convergence of Cesàro means of spherical harmonic expansions. For smooth functions measured in terms of φ-derivatives on the unit sphere, we obtained the sharp a.e. convergence rate of Cesàro means of their spherical harmonic expansions.     

Almost Everywhere Convergence of Orthogonal Expansions of Several Variables

For a weighted L¹ space on the unit sphere of R^d+1, in which the weight functions are invariant under finite reflection groups, a maximal function is introduced and used to prove the almost everywhere convergence of orthogonal expansions in h-harmonics. The result applies to various methods of summability, including the de La Vallée Poussin means and the Cesàro means. Similar results are also established for weighted orthogonal expansions on the unit ball and on the simplex of R^d.     

On the James constant and B-convexity of Cesàro and Cesàro-Orlicz sequence spaces

The classical James constant and the nth James constants, which are measure of B-convexity for the Cesàro sequence spaces cesp and the Cesàro-Orlicz sequence spaces cesM, are calculated. These investigations show that cesp,cesM are not uniformly non-square and even they are not B-convex. Therefore the classical Cesàro sequence spaces cesp are natural examples of reflexive spaces which are not B-convex. Moreover, the James constant for the two-dimensional Cesàro space is calculated.     

Cesàro means of Jacobi expansions on the parabolic biangle

We study Cesàro (C,δ) means for two-variable Jacobi polynomials on the parabolic biangle . Using the product formula derived by Koornwinder and Schwartz for this polynomial system, the Cesàro operator can be interpreted as a convolution operator. We then show that the Cesàro (C,δ) means of the orthogonal expansion on the biangle are uniformly bounded if δ>α+β+1, α≥β≥0. Furthermore, for the means define positive linear operators.     

Two-weight norm inequalities for the Cesàro means of Hermite expansions

An accurate estimate is obtained of the Cesàro kernel for Hermite expansions. This is used to prove two-weight norm inequalities for Cesàro means of Hermite polynomial series and for the supremum of these means. These extend known norm inequalities, even in the single power weight and ``unweighted' cases. An almost everywhere convergence result is obtained as a corollary. It is also shown that the conditions used to prove norm boundedness of the means and most of the conditions used to prove the boundedness of the Cesàro supremum of the means are necessary.

     

Uniform boundedness of (<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>, 1) means of Jacobi expansions in weighted sup norms. I (The main theorems and ideas)

Lubinsky and Totik’s decomposition [11] of the Cesàro operators σ _n ^(α,β) of Jacobi expansions is modified to prove uniform boundedness in weighted sup norms, i.e., ‖w ^(a,b) σ _n ^(α,β) ‖_∞ ≦ C‖w ^(a,b) f‖_∞, whenever α,β ≧ −1/2 and a, b are within the square around (α/2 + 1/4, α/2 + 1/4) having a side length of 1. This approach uses only classical results from the theory of orthogonal polynomials and various estimates for the Jacobi weights. The present paper is concerned with the main theorems and ideas, while a second paper [7] provides some necessary estimations.      

Growth conditions, compact perturbations and operator subdecomposability, with applications to generalized Cesàro operators

We adapt recent results of Albrecht and Ricker to obtain conditions under which growth constraints on the left resolvent of a Banach space operator are preserved under suitable perturbations. As an application, we establish Bishop's property (β) for certain generalized Cesàro operators on the classical Hardy spaces Hp, 1<p<∞. Our methods also apply to unilateral weighted shifts whose weight sequence converges sufficiently rapidly as well as to perturbations of restrictions of a class of generalized scalar operators.     

Almost everywhere convergence of Cesàro means of Fourier series on the group of 2-adic integers

We prove the almost everywhere convergence of the Cesàro (C, α)-means of integrable functions σ _n ^α f → f for f ∈ L ¹(I), where I is the group of 2-adic integers for every α > 0. This theorem for the case of α = 1 was proved by the author [1]. For the case of the (C, 1) Fejér means there are several generalizations known with respect to some orthonormal systems. One could mention the papers [2, 9]. Research supported by the Hungarian National Foundation for Scientific Research (OTKA), grant no. T 048780.     

On the convergence of Schröder iteration functions for pth roots of complex numbers

In this work a condition on the starting values that guarantees the convergence of the Schröder iteration functions of any order to a pth root of a complex number is given. Convergence results are derived from the properties of the Taylor series coefficients of a certain function. The theory is illustrated by some computer generated plots of the basins of attraction.
