Characterization of the rate of decay for the Fourier coefficients of functions of bounded characteristic and the classes of analytic functions with infinitely differentiable boundary values (Q1921835)

Let \(f\) be an analytic function of bounded characteristic in the unit disc \(\mathbb{D}\). Assume that the boundary values of \(f\) on the circumference \(\mathbb{T}\) belong to \(L^2 (\mathbb{T})\). Denote by \(\widehat f(n)\), \(n \in \mathbb{Z}\), the Fourier coefficients of \(f\). The author studies the problem of characterization of the increasing sequences \(\{\alpha_n\}_1^\infty\) such that the following implication \[ \bigl |\widehat f(-n) \bigr |\leq 1/ \alpha_n,\;n \in \mathbb{N}, \Rightarrow \quad \widehat f(-n) = 0,\;n \in \mathbb{N}, \tag{1} \] holds. The results of the paper solve the problem under some additional restrictions on \(\{\alpha_n\}^\infty_1\). In particular, the author proves that, if \(\{\alpha_n\}^\infty_1\) is logarithmically convex, then (1) holds if and only if \[ \sum^\infty_1 (\log \alpha_n)/(1 + n^{3/2}) = + \infty. \] Applications of the results to the study of the functions of bounded characteristic with infinitely differentiable boundary values are given.
