Comparison of two generalized trigonometric integrals (Q2473662)

The topic of trigonometric integrals, integrals with respect to which everywhere convergent trigonometric series are Fourier series, is an intricate one. As the sum of an everywhere convergent trigonometric series is the Schwarz derivative of the formally twice integrated series it was natural that classically trigonometric integrals should be defined by the Perron method. Several such integrals have been defined, the \(T_{2s, o}\)-totalization of Denjoy, the \(SCP\)-integral of Burkill, the \(P^2\)-integral of James [\url{arxiv: math/0309115v1}; \url{http://www.emis.de/proceedings/Toronto2000}]. Not all is known about the relations between the various trigonometric integrals but they are often incompatible [see \textit{I. A. Vinogradova} and \textit{V. A. Skvortsov}, J. Sov. Math. 1, 677--703 (1973; Zbl 0295.42014)]. In the Perron definition the major (and minor) functions are allowed two kinds exceptional sets; the generalized derivative of the major function must exceed the function to be integrated almost everywhere, and must be greater than \(-\infty\) nearly everywhere. However there is a natural class of exceptional sets connected with trigonometric series namely the sets of uniqueness. Recently a new trigonometric integral closely related to the \(P^2\)-integral has been defined in which the nearly everywhere finiteness has been replaced by finiteness off a set of uniqueness, the \(T^2\)-integral of \textit{N. N. Kholshchevnikova} [Generalized trigonometric integral, Izv.\ Nats.\ Akad.\ Nauk Armen.\ Mat. 36, 82--89 (2001)]. If then a function is the sum of an everywhere convergent trigonometric series it is both \(T^2\)-integrable and \(P^2\)-integrable, and the integrals are equal. In this paper an example is given of a function that is almost everywhere the sum of a trigonometric series but which is \(T^2\)-integrable but not \(P^2\)-integrable. The construction that is complicated uses earlier work of the first author who has done much to elucidate the relationships between various trigonometric integrals [\textit{V. A. Skvortsov}, Vestn. Mosk. Univ., Ser. I 22, No. 4, 68--72 (1967; Zbl 0166.06102)].
