Sharp estimates of deviations from Fourier-Haar sums for continuous functions of two variables (Q2628847)

Let \(S_n(f)\) be the \(n^{th}\) partial sum with respect to the Fourier-Haar system expansion of a \(1\)-periodic real valued continuous function \(f\). In dimension \(1\), the following estimate is well known: \[ \|f-S_n(f)\|_\infty\leq K\omega(f;1/n) \] where \(\omega\) is the continuity modulus of \(f\). Actually the author points out that the value \(K=3/2\) is admissible and sharp. The purpose of the paper under review is to extend such estimate for functions of two variables. The first step is to give a proper definition and clarify the order in this framework. The author considers a Haar system constructed by means of dyadic dilation and integer translation from three wavelet-functions. Let us mention the main result (see Theorem 1): \[ \|f-S_n(f)\|_\infty\leq \frac{7}{4}\omega_\infty(f;1/\sqrt{n}) \] where \(\omega_\infty(f;.)\) is the continuity modulus of \(f\) relatively to the sup-distance in \({\mathbb R}^2\). The constant \(7/4\) is shown to be sharp (see Theorem 1 (3)) and the order \(1/\sqrt{n}\) too (see Theorem 1 (2)).
