New Effects of an Old Z. Zalcwasser's Theorem

It is well known that the strong (C, 1)-summability of an orthogonal series does not imply its very strong (C, 1)-summability, generally. For a given index-sequence {v _n }, first, Z. Zalcwasser gave an interesting condition implying the strong (C, 1)-summability of these partial sums s _{v n} (x). We show that Zalcwasser's condition on {v _n } holds if and only if the subsequence {v ₂ n} is quasi geometrically increasing. Utilizing this fact and known theorems several strong summability results are presented for given index-sequences {v _n }.
