No label defined (Q4397602)

Let \(V_n(x):= 2K_{2n- 1}(x)- K_{n-1}(x)\) be the de la Vallée-Poussin kernel, where \(K_n(x)\) is the familiar Fejér kernel. Set \(Q_0(x):= V_1(x)\) and \(Q_n(x):= V_{2^n}(x)- V_{2^{n- 1}}(x)\) for \(n\geq 1\). It is well-known that for every function \(f\in L^1(\mathbb{T})\), \(\mathbb{T}:= [-\pi,\pi)\), the so-called de la Vallée-Poussin series \[ {1\over\pi} \sum^\infty_{n= 0} \int_{\mathbb{T}} f(t)Q_n(x- t)dt\tag{1} \] converges to \(f(x)\) a.e. The author introduces the norm \[ \| f\|_D:= \sup_\Delta \Biggl\{{1\over| \Delta|} \int_\Delta \sum_{2^{-n}<| \Delta|} \Biggl(\int^{2\pi}_0 f(t) Q_n(x- t)dt\Biggr)^2dx\Biggr\}^{1/2}, \] where \(\Delta\) is an arbitrary interval on the unit circle. The main results proved are the following: (i) The norms \(\|\cdot\|_{\text{BMO}}\) and \(\|\cdot\|_D\) are equivalent. (ii) The Littlewood-Paley function of series (1) defined by \[ \Biggl\{\sum^\infty_{n= 0} \Biggl(\int_{\mathbb{T}} f(t)Q_n(x- t)dt\Biggr)^2\Biggr\}^{1/2} \] is of weak type \((1,1)\). Among others, the following corollaries are obtained. (iii) The unconditional convergence of series (1) is deduced for functions \(f\) in the real Hardy space \(H^1_r(\mathbb{T})\). (iv) Multiplicative inequalities are derived which give lower estimates for the \(L^1\)- and \(H^1\)-norms of trigonometric series and polynomials. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0838.00008].
