The problem of the approximation of a \(2\pi \)-periodic function belonging to the class \(Lip\, \alpha\), \(0<\alpha \leq 1\), by \(K^\lambda \) summability means of its Fourier series is considered. This summability method was first introduced by \textit{J. Karamata} [Matematica, Cluj 9,164-178 (1935; Zbl 0013.39901)]. The authors state that if \(f\) is a \(2\pi \)-periodic function belonging to the class \(\text{Lip}\, \alpha \), then \[ \sup_{x\in R}\;S_n^\lambda (x)-f(x) =O((n+1)^{-(\alpha +1)}\log {(n+1)e}+(n+1)^{-\lambda }),\tag{*} \] where \(S_n^\lambda ,n=0,1,2,\dots,\lambda > 0\), denotes the \(K^\lambda\)-means of order \(n\) of the Fourier series of \(f\). On the other hand, it is well known that the order of the approximation of a function \(f\in Lip\;\alpha \) by means of trigonometrical polynomials of order \(n\) cannot be higher than \((n+1)^{-\alpha }\) [\textit{A. Zygmund}, ``Trigonometric series'', Vol. 1., 2nd ed. (1959; Zbl 0085.05601, Ch.3)]. Therefore the relation (*) cannot be true for all \(\lambda > 0\) for all functions \(f\) belonging to the class \(Lip\;\alpha \).
