Determination of jumps in terms of spectral data (Q2495674)

Let \(T=[-\pi,\pi)\) and \(L(T)\) denotes the set of all \(2\pi\)-periodic functions. For any \(f\in L(T)\) and \(\sigma \in C[0,1]\) we set \[ \tilde S_n^\sigma (f,x)=\sum^n_{k=1}\sigma(\tfrac kn)(a_k\sin kx-b_k\cos kx), \] where \[ a_k=\frac 1 \pi \int^\pi_{-\pi}f(t)\cos kt \, dt , \quad b_k=\frac 1\pi \int^\pi_{-\pi} f(t)\sin kt\, dt \] are Fourier coefficients of the function \(f\). For \(\xi\in T\) we denote by \(D_\xi\) the set of functions \(f\in L(T)\) for which the finite limit \(d_\xi (f)=\lim_{t\to +0}[f(\xi +t)-f(x-1)]\) exists and \(f(\xi+t)-f(x-t)-d_\xi(f)/t\in L[0,\pi]\). If the finite jump \(d_\xi(f)\) exists and \(\lim_{n\to \infty}\tilde S_n^\sigma (f,\xi)=d_\xi(f)\), then the factors \[ \left\{\sigma \left(\frac k n\right), \quad k=1,\dots,n;\;n=1,2,\dots\right\} \tag{1} \] are called concentration factors of the function \(f\) at the point \(\xi\). Theorem 1--2. Assume \(\xi\in T\) and \(\sigma \in \text{Lip}_1[0,1]\) (or \(\sigma \in \text{BV}[0,1]\) with \(\sigma (0)=0\)). Then for any \(f\in D_\xi\) the factors (1) are concentration factors of the function \(f\) at the point \(\xi\) if and only \(\int^1_0\frac{\sigma(t)}{t}\,dt=-\pi\) (correspondingly \(\lim_{n\to \infty}\sum^n_{k=1}\frac{\sigma(\tfrac kn)}{n}=-\pi\)). These theorems are the refinements of the results contained in: \textit{A. Gelb} and \textit{E. Tadmor} [Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 7, 101--135 (1999; Zbl 0952.42001)]. Also, the authors give a definition of concentration factors of Abel-Poisson type for \(f\) at the point \(\xi\) and prove a criterion for such factors.
