ON L1 -CONVERGENCE OF REES-STANOJEVIĆ’S SUMS
WITH COEFFICIENTS FROM THE CLASS K
XHEVAT Z. KRASNIQI
In this paper are considered the modified cosine sums introduced by
Rees and Stanojević [2] with coefficients from the class K. In addition,
is proved that the condition limn→∞ |an+1 | log n = 0 is a necessary and
sufficient condition for the L1 -convergence of the cosine series. Also, an
open problem about L1 -convergence for the r−th derivative of the cosine
series is presented.
1.
Introduction and Preliminaries
Let us consider the cosine trigonometric series
g(x) =
∞
a0
+ ∑ am cos mx
2 m=1
with its partial sums denoted by
Sn (x) =
n
a0
+ ∑ am cos mx
2 m=1
and let limn→∞ Sn (x) = g(x).

A lot of authors investigated the L1 -convergence of the series (1) under different classes of coefficients. Was W. H. Young [9] who showed that condition
limm→∞ am log m = 0 is necessary and sufficient condition for cosine series with
so-called convex (42 am ≥ 0, where 4am = am − am+1 , 42 am = 4am − 4am+1 )
coefficients and A. N. Kolmogorov

with quasi-convex ∑∞

Likewise, in various papers are introduced different modified cosine and
sine sums which we shall make for them a list as follows:
C. S. Rees and Č. V. Stanojević [2] have introduced the following modified
cosine sums
n
n
1 n
gn (x) = ∑ 4ak + ∑ ∑ (4a j ) cos mx,
(2)
2 m=0
m=1 j=m
until Kumari and Ram [6], introduced new modified cosine and sine sums as
n

m cos mx,
fn (x) = + ∑ ∑ 4

and

Later on, N. Hooda, B. Ram and S. S. Bhatia [5] introduced new modified

Rn (x) =

Recently K. Kaur, S. S. Bhatia, and B. Ram [4] introduced new modified
sine sums as
Kn (x) =
n
n

∑ ∑ (4a j−1 − 4a j+1 ) sin mx,
2 sin x m=1
j=m
and a new class of sequences defined as follows:
A sequence {am } is said to belongs to the class K, if am → 0, m → ∞, and
∞
∑ m 42 am−1 − 42 am+1 < ∞,
(a0 = 0).
m=1
The class K can be generalized in the following manner: A sequence {am }
is said to belongs to the class Kr , (r = 0, 1, . . . ), if am → 0, as m → ∞, and
∞
∑ mr+1 42 am−1 − 42 am+1 < ∞,
m=1
(a0 = 0).

27
For r = 0, clearly K ≡ K0 and Kr ⊂ K, r ≥ 1.
Further, wishing to generalize the class Kr we define a certain subclass of
r
K as follows:
Let α := {αm } be a positive monotone sequence tending to infinity. A sequence {am } belongs to the class K(α) if am → 0, as m → ∞, and
∞
∑ αm 42 am−1 − 42 am+1 < ∞,
(a0 = 0).
m=1
If we denote the class K(α), where αm := mr+1 , by Kr , that is, if we introduce the definition Kr := K(mr+1 ), we immediately get the generalization of
the classes Kr , for any positive integer r.
All of the authors, (see also [7], [8]), cited above studied the L1 -convergence
of these cosine and sine sums proving different results. Among others let us
formulate the following statements proved in [4]:
Theorem 1.1. Let the sequence {an } belong to the class K, then Kn (x) converges to g(x) in the L1 -norm.
Corollary 1.2. If {an } belongs to the class K, then the necessary and sufficient
condition for the L1 -convergence of the cosine series (1) is limn→∞ an log n = 0.
As usually with Dn (x) and D̃n (x) we shall denote the Dirichlet and its conjugate kernels defined by Dn (x) = a20 + ∑nm=1 cos mx, D̃n (x) = ∑nm=1 sin mx, respectively.
The object of this paper is to prove analogous statements as the Theorem 1.1
and the Corollary 1.2 when we use the modified cosine sums gn (x) instead of
new modified sine sums Kn (x). More precisely, we shall show that Theorem 1.1
and the Corollary 1.2 hold good for modified cosine sums (2) with coefficients
from the class K.
Throughout this paper the constants in the O-expression denote positive constants and they may be different in different relations.

Main Results
We shall prove the following main result.
Theorem 2.1. Let the sequence {an } belong to the class K, then gn (x) converges
to g(x) in the L1 -norm.

and passing on limit when n → ∞ we obtain

(4am−1 − 4am+1 ) D̃m (x).

In a similiar fashion we can show that

Therefore limn→∞ gn (x) = g(x) exists, and from (5) and (6) the following
equality

holds. Hence

The first and fourth terms tend to zero as n → ∞ based on facts that

Further, for the second term, denoted by Λ(n), for large enough n we obtain

This completes the proof of our theorem.
Corollary 2.2. If {an } belongs to the class K, then the necessary and sufficient
condition for the L1 -convergence of the cosine series (1) is limn→∞ |an+1 | log n =
0.

|D (x)| dx ∼ log n and our assumption
From the well-known relation −π
Rπ n
that an log n = o(1), we obtain |an+1 | −π |Dn (x)| dx = o(1) as n → ∞. Also,
according to the Theorem 2.1 kg − gn k = o(1), as n → ∞. This completes the
sufficient condition.
Necessity. The following holds

Z π

|Dn (x)| dx = kan+1 Dn (x)k
= kSn − gn k ≤ kSn − gk + kg − gn k = o(1)
by our assumption and the Theorem 2.1.
The Corollary 2.2 is proved completely.
We saw in Section 2 how we extended the class K to the class Kr , (r =
0, 1, . . . ). Since the condition limn→∞ |an+1 | log n = 0 is a special case of the condition limn→∞ nr |an+1 | log n = 0, (r = 0), then the following propositions may be
true:
(r)
Theorem 2.3. Let the sequence {an } belong to the class Kr , then gn (x) converges to g(r) (x) in the L1 -norm.
Corollary 2.4. If {an } belongs to the class Kr , then the necessary and sufficient
condition for the L1 -convergence of the r − th derivative of the cosine series (1)
is limn→∞ nr |an+1 | log n = 0.
The question is: Do these propositions are true or not? This is still an open
problem.
