A generalization of the monotonicity condition and applications (Q2460654)

The authors introduce a new class of sequences which is called \(NBVS\). Let \({\mathbb C}:=\{c_n\}^{\infty}_{n=1}\) be a complex valued sequence satisfying the condition \(c_n\in M(\theta_n):=\{z:| \arg z| \leq\theta_0\}\) for some \(\theta_0\in [0,\pi/2)\) and \(n=1,2,\dots\). Then \({\mathbb C}\in NBVS\) if \(\sum^{2m}_{n=m}| c_n-c_{n+1}| \leq K({\mathbb C})(| c_m| +| c_{2m}| )\) for all \(m=1,2,\dots\). Theorem 3. Let \(b:=\{b_n\}^{\infty}_{n=1}\) be a nonnegative sequence. If \(b\in NBVS\) then a necessary and sufficient condition either for the uniform convergence of the series \(\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}b_n\sin nx\) or for the continuity of its sum function is \(\lim_{n\to\infty}nb_n=0\). Let the sequence \({\mathbb C}:=\{c_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}\in NBVS\) and \(\{c_n+c_{-n}\}^{\infty}_{n=0}\in NBVS\). Under these conditions Theorem 4 gives a sufficient condition for the sequnce \({\mathbb C}:=\{c_n\}_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\) to be a sequence of the Fourier coefficients of a continuous \(2\pi\)-periodic function. Theorem 5. Let \(f\in L_{2\pi}\) be a \(2\pi\)-periodic complex valued function and \(S_n(f)\) be the partial sums of its Fourier series. If the Fourier coefficients \(\hat {f}(n)\) of the function \(f\) satisfy both conditions \(\{\hat {f}(n)\}^{\infty}_{n=1}\in NBVS\) and \(\{\hat {f}(-n)\}^{\infty}_{n=1}\in NBVS\) then \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\| f-S_n(f)\| _L=0\) if and only if \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\hat {f}(n)\log| n| =0\).
