Review text

Let \(s_n(f; 0)\) be the \(n\)th partial sum of the Laguerre series of \(f\in L(0,\infty)\) at a point \(x= 0\). Suppose \((p_n)\) and \((q_n)\) are nonnegative sequences such that \(R_n= \sum^n_{k=0} p_k q_{n-k}\neq 0\) for \(n\geq 0\) with \(R_n\to \infty\) as \(n\to\infty\). In this paper, the authors have obtained \[ t^{p,q}_n(f; 0)- f(0)= o(R(n)), \] where \(t^{p,q}_n(f; 0)\) denotes \((N,p,q)\)-mean of \(s_n(f; 0)\), under a set of conditions on \(f\) which includes also the following condition: \[ \int^t_0 e^{-y} y^\alpha|f(y)- f(0)|\,dy= o\{t^{1+\alpha}R(1/t)\}\;(t\to 0) \] for \(-1< \alpha<-{1\over 2}\). This condition is not acceptable for any Lebesgue-integrable function \(f\) since even for \(p_n= q_n= 1\) for all \(n\geq 0\), \(tR(1/t)= O(1)\). On the other hand, as per hypothesis of the theorem, \(R(n)\to\infty\) with \(n\), which shows that \(t^{p,q}_n(f; 0)\to \infty\), as \(n\to\infty\). Consequently, neither the statement nor the result of the theorem is correct. We further remark that, under a different set of conditions on \(f\), the following rate of convergence of Laguerre series was obtained by the present reviewer and \textit{H. Kanur} [Vikram Math. J. 14, 61--67 (1994; Zbl 1017.41504)]: \[ s_n(f; 0)- f(0)= O\{n^{{2\alpha+1\over 4}}\}+ o\{n^{-1/6}\}\quad (-1<\alpha<- \textstyle{{1\over 2}}). \] Since the method used by the present authors is regular, therefore one must get the rate of convergence of \((t^{p,q}_n(f; 0))\) under some suitable conditions, which the present author failed to get.
