Summability of a Tchebysheff system of functions (Q969291)

Summary: We consider a special type of Chebyshev systems of functions \(\{u_i(\cdot)\}_{i=0}^n\) and \(\{v_i(\cdot)\}_{i=0}^n\) defined on the intervals \((0,1]\) and \([0,+\infty)\), respectively, such that \[ u_i(t)= t^{\alpha_0} \int_t^1 t_1^{\alpha_1} \int_{t_1}^1 t_2^{\alpha_2}\dots \int_{t_{i-1}}^1 t_i^{\alpha_i}\,dt_i\,dt_{i-1}\ldots dt_1 \] and \[ v_i(t)= t^{\beta_0} \int^t_1 t_1^{\beta_1} \int^{t_1}_1 t_2^{\beta_2}\dots \int^{t_{i-1}}_1 t_i^{\beta_i}\,dt_i\,dt_{i-1}\ldots dt_1. \] We find necessary and sufficient conditions under which functions from the investigated systems belong to the corresponding Lebesgue spaces \(L_p(0,1)\) and \(L_p(1,+\infty)\). In order to prove the main results we obtain lower and upper estimates of these functions that are of independent interest.
