A lower estimate for the Lebesgue constants of linear means of Laguerre expansions (Q1266937)

The paper deals with series in Laguerre polynomials \(\sum_{k=0}^\infty f_k L_k^\alpha(x)\) and multipliers \(m=(m_k)_{k=0}^\infty\) for which \(\|\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} m_k f_k L_k^\alpha \|_{p,\gamma} \leq C \|\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} f_k L_k^\alpha \|_{p,\gamma}\), where \(\|\cdot\|_{p,\gamma}\) is a weighted \(p\)-norm on \([0,\infty)\). The smallest possible constant \(C\) is the multiplier norm of \(m\) and the authors obtain a lower bound for this multiplier norm, following the lines of a similar result of Kal'nej, which deals with Jacobi series [\textit{S. G. Kal'nej}, Proc. Steklov Inst. Math. 170, 127-133 (1987; Zbl 0613.41018)].
