On the summability by Cesàro methods of double series with respect to block-orthonormal systems (Q377798)

A double series \[ \sum_{m=1}^\infty \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_{mn} \varphi_{mn}(x,y) \leqno (1) \] is called \((C,1,1)\)-summable if the limit \(\lim_{\min(m,n) \to \infty} \sigma_{mn}(x,y)\) exists, where \(\sigma_{mn}(x,y)\) are defined as partial sums \[ \sum_{i=1}^m \sum_{j=1}^n \Big(1 - \frac{i-1}{m}\Big)\Big(1 - \frac{j-1}{n}\Big) a_{ij} \varphi(x,y). \] Slight variations in the definitions of these partial sums leads to notions of \((C,1,0)\)- and \((C,0,1)\)-summability. The author establishes tests for almost everywhere summabilities of these kinds for some generalization of double orthogonal series of type (1), where the pairwise orthogonality between functions \(\varphi_{mn}\) is assumed everywhere except an arbitrary increasing sequences of intervals. These tests generalize tests for double orthogonal series first established by \textit{F. Móricz} [Trans.\ Am.\ Math.\ Soc. 297, 763--776 (1986; Zbl 0605.42024)].
