[For the entire collection see Zbl 0692.00005.] Let \(C^ \psi_{\alpha}\) be the class of continuous functions of the form \[ f(x)={a_ 0 \over 2}+{1 \over \pi}\int^ \pi_{- \pi}\phi(x+t)\psi(t)dt \hbox { with }|\varphi(t)|\leq 1, \int^ \pi_{-\pi}\varphi(t)dt=0 \] , where \(\psi\) is a convex function on \([1,\infty)\) with \(\sum^ \infty_{k=1}\left|\sin{\alpha\pi \over 2}\right|{\psi(k) \over k}<\infty\). The aim of this note is to discuss the approximation order of the Fourier sum \(S_ nf\), namely \[ A=\sup\{\| f-S_ nf\|_ \infty:f\in C^ \psi_ \alpha\}. \] Of special interest is the asymptotic behaviour of \(A\) with respect to \(n,\alpha\) and \(\psi\). In particular it is included the case \(\psi(n)=n^{-r}\), \(r\in\mathbb{R}^ +\). Here \[ A={4 \over \pi^ 2n^ r}\log{n \over \min(n,r+1)}+{2 \over \pi rn^ r}\left|\sin{\alpha\pi \over 2}\right|+O(n^{-r}), \] where the \(O\) is independent of \(r\) and \(\alpha\). In the general case the discussion depends on certain properties of \(\psi\).
