On sequences of Fourier-Walsh sums of bounded functions (Q798911)

Let \(L^{\infty}\) denote the space of measurable 1-periodic essentially bounded functions f with the usual norm; \(S_ k(f)\) the kth partial sum of the Walsh-Fourier series of f, \({\mathcal L}_ k\) the kth Lebesgue constant. The behavior of the sequences \(\{| S_ k(f,t)|\}^{\infty}_{k=1}\) and \(\{\| S_ k(f)\|\}^{\infty}_{k=1}\) is studied. The theorems proved are similar to the corresponding results by \textit{K. I. Oskolkov} [Tr. Mat. Inst. Steklova 143, 129-142 (1977; Zbl 0433.42004)]. In addition it is proved that the Lebesgue estimate \(\| S_ k(t)\|\leq \| f\|\cdot {\mathcal L}_ k (f\in L_{\infty})\) can be improved for a certain sequence of indexes. ''In the mean'', however, this estimate cannot be improved.
