Convergence to infinity for orthonormal spline series (Q2221043)

\textit{S. V. Konyagin} [Math. Notes 44, No. 6, 910--920 (1988; Zbl 0688.42003); translation from Mat. Zametki 44, No. 6, 770--784 (1988)] proved that a trigonometric series cannot converge to \(\infty\) on a set of positive measure. Note that Haar and Walsh series have the same property.\par In this paper, an orthonormal polynomial spline system \(\{f_n\}_{n=-k+2}^{\infty}\) of order \(k\) with respect to a dyadic partition of \([0,\,1]\) is considered. For \(k=2\), the orthonormal linear spline system is the Franklin system. Let \(\sigma_m(x)\) be the \((2^m + k +1)\)th partial sum of the Ciesielski series \[\sum_{n=-k+2}^{infty} a_n\, f_n(x)\,.\] Then the authors show that the measure of \(\{x \in [0,\,1] : \, \lim_{m\to \infty} \sigma_m(x) = \infty\}\) is zero.
