Über die Mittel von orthogonalen Funktionen. IV. (On the means of orthogonal functions. IV) (Q916042)

[For part III see the paper reviewed above.] Denote by \(\lambda =\{\lambda_ n\}_{n=1}\) a nondecreasing sequence of positive numbers such that \(\lim_{n\to \infty}\lambda_ n=\infty\), and by \(\Omega\) the class of orthogonal systems \(\phi =\{\phi_ k(x)\}^{\infty}_{k=1}\) on the interval (0,1). For a sequence \(a=\{a_ k\}^{\infty}_{k=1}\) of real numbers we set \[ \| a\| =\sup_{\phi \in \Omega}\{\int^{1}_{0}\sup_{n\geq 1}(\sum^{n}_{k=1}a_ k\phi_ k(x))^ 2dx\}^{1/2}, \] and \(a(M,N)=\{0,...,0,a_ M,...,a_ N,0,...\}\) where \(1\leq M\leq N\) are integers. For a positive integer k we define \(Z_ k\) to be the set of integers n such that \(2^ k<\lambda_ n\leq 2^{k+1}\) (assume \(\lambda_ 1>2)\). We denote by \(k_ s\) \((k_ 1<k_ 2<...)\) those integers for which \(Z_ k\neq 0\) and by \(N_ s\) the least integer in \(Z_{k_ s}\). The following theorem is proved: If a sequence \(a=\{a_ k\}\) is such that (i) \(\sum^{\infty}_{s=1}\| a(N_ s,N_{s+1}- 1)\|^ 2/\lambda^ 2_{N_ s}<\infty,\) then for all \(\phi\in \Omega\) we have \(\lim_{n\to \infty}(1/\lambda_ n)\sum^{n}_{k=1}a_ k\phi_ k(x)=0\).
