Remarks on functions preserving convergence of infinite series (Q1374555)

In Čas. Pěst. Mat. 92, 267-282 (1967; Zbl 0161.33505) \textit{T. Neubrunn} and \textit{T. Šalát} investigated functions (or transformations) (1) \(f\:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}\) preserving convergence of infinite series. (We recall that (1) preserves convergence of series if for each convergent real series (2) \(\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n\) the series (3) \(\sum_{n=1}^\infty f(a_n)\) is convergent.) The object of this paper is to study series-to-series transformations (1) which in some way use \textit{absolute convergence} of series, e.g. particularly that for each absolutely convergent real series (2) the series (3) is absolutely convergent, too. Denote by \(F^{(cp)}\) and \(F^{(acp)}\) the class of all functions (1) that preserve convergence and absolute convergence of series, respectively. We quote now three interesting results from Section 2. (i) \(F^{(cp)}\subset F^{(acp)}\) but \(F^{(cp)}\not = F^{(acp)}\). (ii) \(f\in F^{(acp)} \Leftrightarrow f(0)=0\) and \(\limsup_{x\to 0} \big |f(x)/x\big |<\infty\). (iii) the class \(F^{(acp)}\) is an algebra of functions. In Section 3, among other things, standard topological properties (density, Baire category) of classes \(F^{(cp)}\) and \(F^{(acp)}\) in some function spaces are studied.
