On the generalization of the Salem test (Q1705204)

\textit{D. Waterman} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 105, No. 1, 129--133 (1989; Zbl 0683.42006)] proved an improvement of Salem test for the uniform convergence of the Fourier series of a continuous function. Moreover, the Waterman's test applies for the uniform convergence on arbitrary set.\par In the paper under the review, the authors prove that the Waterman's test is strictly sharper than the Salem's test by proving that there exists a continuous \(2\pi\)-periodic function fulfilling the Waterman's test but not fulfilling the Salem's test. They also improve \textit{B. I. Golubov}'s result [Soobshch. Akad. Nauk Gruz. SSR 66, 545--548 (1972; Zbl 0256.42026)] and [Izv. Vyssh. Uchebn. Zaved., Mat. 1972, No. 12(127), 55--68 (1972; Zbl 0249.42023)] for the uniform convergence of rectangular partial sums of double Fourier series.
