Review text

Let \(f(x)\) be a function integrable \((L)\) over the range \([-1,1]\). The Legendre series associated with the function is \[ f(x)\sim\sum^\infty_{n= 0} a_nP_n(x), \] where \(a_n= (n+1)\int^1_{-1} f(x)P_n(x)dx\) and \(P_n(x)\) is the \(n\)th Legendre polynomial. Let \(\phi(w)= f(x\pm w)-f(x)\). The author proves the following theorem. Theorem: At any interior point \(x\) of the interval \((-1,1)\) for which \(\Phi_x(h)= \int^\delta_h {|\phi(u)|\over u} du= O\left\{\psi\left({1\over h}\right)\right\}\), \(0\leq\delta\leq\pi\), where \(\psi\left({1\over h}\right)\) is a decreasing function such that \(\psi\left({1\over h}\right)\to \infty\) as \(h\to 0\), it holds \(S_n(x)- f(x)= O\left\{\psi\left({1\over h}\right)\right\}\).
