Let \(({\mathfrak X},|\cdot|)\) be a Banach space, and let \({\mathfrak C}\), \({\mathfrak {AC}}\) denote the spaces of continuous and absolutely continuous functions on \([0,2\pi]\) with norms \(|\cdot|_{\mathfrak C}\), \(|\cdot|_{\mathfrak AC}\) defined by \[ |f|_{\mathfrak C}= \sup\{|f(t)|,\;0\leq t\leq 2\pi\},\quad |f|_{\mathfrak AC}= |f(0)|+\text{var}(f), \] where \(\text{var}(f)\) denotes the variation of \(f\) on \([0,2\pi]\). If \({\mathcal X}= \{X(n): n\in\mathbb{Z}\}\subseteq{\mathfrak X}\), and \(S_{\mathcal X}\) is defined as a linear operator on the set of polynomials \(P\) by \[ S_{\mathcal X}(\phi)= \sum\widehat\phi(k) X(-k),\quad \phi\in P, \] where \(\widehat\phi(k)\), \(k\in\mathbb{Z}\), are the Fourier coefficients of \(\phi\), then \(S_{\mathcal X}\) is called the (generalized) spectral distribution of \({\mathcal X}\), and \({\mathcal X}\) is said to be an \({\mathfrak AC}\)-continuous sequence if \[ |S_{\mathcal X}(\phi)|\leq m|\phi|_{\mathfrak{AC}},\quad \phi\in P. \] In one of the main results of this paper (Theorem 1), it is shown that if \(({\mathfrak X},|\cdot|)\) is a separable reflexive Banach space and \({\mathcal X}\) is an \({\mathfrak AC}\)-continuous sequence, then a spectral function \(x:[0,2\pi]\to{\mathfrak X}\) exists such that \[ S_{\mathcal X}(\theta)= \theta(0)X(0)- \int^{2\pi}_0 \theta'(t)x(t)dt,\quad \theta\in{\mathfrak AC}. \] If \(\psi\in{\mathfrak AC}\), then \(\{Y(n)= S_{\mathcal X}(e^{in}\psi):n\in\mathbb{Z}\}\) is an \({\mathfrak AC}\)-continuous sequence with spectral function \[ y(t)= \psi(t)x(t)- \int^t_0 \psi'(s)x(s)+\text{constant}. \] Other results of the paper relate to the boundedness and convergence of \(\sum_N(X; t)= (N+1)^{-1} \sum^N_{k= 1} S_k(X;t)\), where \(S_K(X; t)= \sum^K_{n=-K}n^{-1} X(n)e^{int}\).
