Fejér type theorems for Fourier-Stieltjes series (Q5892661): Difference between revisions

A theorem of Fejér states that if a periodic function \(F\) is of bounded variation on the closed interval \([0, 2\pi]\), then the \(n\)th partial sum of its formally differentiated Fourier series divided by \(n\) converges to \(\pi^{-1}[F(x+0)-F(x-0)]\) at each point \(x\). The generalization of this theorem for Fourier-Stieltjes series of nonperiodic functions of bounded variation is also known. These theorems can be interpreted in such a way that the terms of the Fourier-Stieltjes (or Fourier) series of \(F\) determine the atoms of the finite Borel measure on the torus \(\mathbf T:= [0,\pi)\) induced by an appropriate extension of \(F\) (or by \(F\) itself in the periodic case). The aim of the present paper is to extend all of these results to the Cesàro as well as Abel-Poisson means of Fourier-Stieltjes (or Fourier) series of nonperiodic (or periodic) functions \(F\) of bounded variation. Finally, the author gives a possible extension of these results to linear means defined by more general kernels.
