Summability and integrability of Vilenkin series (Q5930122)

The authors offer two main results here. The first identifies conditions on the coefficients of a summability method sufficient to prove that the Vilenkin-Fourier series of all \(L^q\) functions, \(1\leq q\leq \infty\), are summable by that method in \(L^q\) norm. This result was already known for Vilenkin systems of bounded type. The second result is another theorem of Fomin type about sufficient conditions on the coefficients of a given Vilenkin series for its integrability. The authors already had a generalization of the result of \textit{W. R. Bloom} and \textit{J. J. F. Fournier} [J. Aust. Math. Soc., Ser. A 45, No. 1, 46-61 (1988; Zbl 0653.42030)] which was valid for Vilenkin systems of unbounded type. Here, they take their conditions one step further, replacing a \(p_s\) condition by a \(\log p_s\) condition.
