A condition of new type on Fourier coefficients makes the ratio \(\| f-S_ n(f)\| /E_ n(f)\) bounded (Q2565296)

A sequence \(\{\gamma_n\}\) of positive numbers in said to be quasi geometrically increasing if there exist a natural number \(\mu\) and a real number \(k\geq 1\) such that \(\gamma_{n+\mu} \geq 2\gamma_n\) and \(\gamma_n\leq k\gamma_{n+1}\) for all natural numbers \(n\). Recently, \textit{S. P. Zhou} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 121, No. 3, 779-785 (1994; Zbl 0808.42003)] obtained a very interesting result concerning the boundedness of \(|f-S_n(f) |/E_n(f)\) by proving that \(M_\varphi \subset S_E\) iff \(L(\Phi,\varepsilon_0) =O(1)\) for some \(\varepsilon_0>0\). In this paper the author shows that \(L(\Phi,\varepsilon_0) =O(1)\) for some \(\varepsilon_0>0\) iff the sequence \(\Phi= \{\varphi_n\}\) in quasi geometrically increasing, and thus \(M_\varphi \subset S_E\) iff \(\Phi\) is a quasi geometrically increasing sequence.
