Necessary conditions for metrics in integral Bernstein-type inequalities (Q979037)

Let \(\mathcal T_n\) be the set of all trigonometric polynomials of degree at most \(n\) with complex coefficients. The classical Bernstein inequality \(\|T^\prime_n\|\leq n\|T_n\|\) for all \(T_n\in\mathcal T_n\), where \(\|f\|:=\sup_{t\in\mathbb R}|f(t)|\), was extended in 1933 by \textit{A. Zygmund} [Trigonometric series. Vol. 1, 2. 2nd ed. Cambridge: At the University Press (1959; Zbl 0085.05601)] to the following form \[ \int_0^{2\pi}\varphi(|T^\prime_n(t)|)dt\leq\int_0^{2\pi}\varphi(n|T_n(t)|)dt \] for any \(T_n\in\mathcal T_n\) and any increasing convex function \(\varphi\) on \([0,\infty)\). \textit{V. V. Arestov} [Sov. Math., Dokl. 20, 600--603 (1979); translation from Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR 246, 1289--1292 (1979; Zbl 0433.41004)] showed that Zygmund's inequality can also be obtained under the weaker assumption of \(\varphi\) belonging to the class \(\Phi^+\) of functions of the form \(\psi(\ln u)\), where \(\psi\) is nondecreasing and convex on \((-\infty,\infty)\). In this paper, the author studies the question (posed by Arestov) whether it is possible to extend Zygmund's result to a larger class than that of \(\Phi^+\) and shows that, under certain assumptions, \(\Phi^+\) is the largest possible class.
