SOME INEQUALITIES FOR COEFFICIENTS OF MULTIPLE FOURIER SERIES (Q4511510)

The following inequality is of importance in Fourier analysis \[ \sum_{k=1}^\infty (|a_k|+|b_k|)\leq(Vf)^{1/2}\sum _{k=1}^\infty\omega^{1/2}(f;\pi 2^{-k}), \] where \(a_k,\) \(b_k\) are the Fourier coefficients of a \(2\pi\)-periodic function \(f,\) \(Vf\) is its total variation, and \(\omega(f;\cdot)\) is the modulus of continuity of \(f.\) Zygmund's theorem on absolute convergence of the Fourier series of a function of bounded variation satisfying the Lipschitz condition of positive order follows from it as well as the continuity of the mappings \(f\to\{a_k\}\) and \(f\to\{b_k\}.\) The paper is devoted to various generalizations of these results to multiple Fourier series. The technique is intimately related to that of Orlicz spaces.
