Almost everywhere convergence of Ciesielski-Fourier series of \(H_1\) functions (Q706355)

The Ciesielski systems are obtained from the spline systems of order \((m,k)\) in the same way as the Walsh system arises from the Haar system, namely by the same orthogonal transformation of dyadic blocks. The author shows that every lacunary subsequence of the Ciesielski-Fourier series of an \(H_1\) function \(f\) converges to \(f\) almost everywhere. This mimics the same result for Walsh-Fourier series of \(H_1\) functions [\textit{N.~R.~Ladhawala} and \textit{D.~C.~Pankratz}, Stud. Math.~59, 85--92 (1976; Zbl 0424.42017)], which was generalized by \textit{W.-S. Young} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc.~108, No. 2, 433--441 (1990; Zbl 0706.42017)] to the Vilenkin system, and for the trigonometric system can be found in [\textit{A.~Zygmund}, ``Trigonometric series. II'' (1959; Zbl 0085.05601)]. The main ingredient in the proof is a consequence of the Calderón-Zygmund decomposition lemma on weak type \((L_1(l_r),L_1(l_r))\) for a certain class of bounded operators from \(L_{p_1}(l_r)\) to \(L_{p_1}(l_r)\).
