Georgian Mathematical Journal Volume 10 (2003), Number 2, 223–235 ON THE UNIFORM CONVERGENCE AND L-CONVERGENCE OF DOUBLE FOURIER SERIES WITH RESPECT TO THE WALSH–KACZMARZ SYSTEM U. GOGINAVA Abstract. In this paper we study the approximation by rectangular partial sums of a double Fourier series with respect to the Walsh–Kaczmarz system in the spaces C and L. From our results we obtain different criteria of the uniform convergence and L-convergence of a double Fourier–Kaczmarz series. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 41A50; Secondary 42C10. Key words and phrases: Walsh–Kaczmarz system, convergence in Lnorm, bounded variation in the sense of Hardy, uniform convergence. 1. Introduction L. Zhizhiashvili ([13], Part. 2, Ch. 3) has established certain approximation properties of rectangular partial sums of a double trigonometric Fourier series in the spaces C and L. An analogous question for a double Fourier series with respect to the Walsh–Paley system were treated in [2], [8]. We will study the approximation of a function f ∈ Lp in the norm of Lp for p = 1 or p = ∞ by means of rectangular partial sums of a double Fourier series with respect to the Walsh–Kaczmarz system; see Theorems 1, 2 and 3. From these theorems one can obtain different criteria for the uniform convergence and L1 -convergence of a double Fourier series with respect to the Walsh–Kaczmarz system, in particular, establish a two-dimensional version of the Dini–Lipschitz condition (see Corollaries 1 and 2). Results of a somewhat different type can be obtained by using the variation of a function. Jordan [7] introduced a class of functions of bounded variation and, applying it to the theory of Fourier series, he proved that if a continuous function has bounded variation, then its Fourier series converges uniformly. In 1906 Hardy [6] generalized the Jordan criterion to the double Fourier series and introduced, for the function of two variables, the notion of bounded variation. He proved that if the continuous function of two variables has bounded variation (in the sense of Hardy), then its Fourier series converges uniformly in the sense of Pringsheim (see, e.g., [13]). An analogous result for a double Walsh–Fourier series was verified by Moricz [8]. The author proves in [3] that in Hardy’s theorem there is no need to require the boundedness of nuxed variation (see V1,2 (f ) below), in particular, it is proved that if f is continuous function and has bounded partial variation, then its double trigonometric Fourier series converges uniformly on c Heldermann Verlag www.heldermann.de ISSN 1072-947X / $8.00 / ° 224 U. GOGINAVA [0, 2π]2 in the sense of Pringsheim. An analogous result for a double Walsh– Fourier series is established in [4]. In this paper we study a similar question in the case of the Walsh–Kaczmarz system (see Theorem 4). 2. Definitions and Notation We denote the sets of all non-negative integers by N, the set of real numbers by R and the set of dyadic rational numbers in the unit interval [0,1] by Q. In particular, each element of Q has the form 2pn for some p, n ∈ N, 0 ≤ p ≤ 2n . Let r0 (x) be the function ( 1 if x ∈ [0, 1/2) r0 (x) = , r0 (x + 1) = r0 (x) . −1 if x ∈ [1/2, 1) The Rademacher system is defined by rn (x) = r0 (2n x), n ≥ 1 and x ∈ [0, 1). The Walsh system in the Paley enumeration {wn (x) : n ∈ N} is defined by wn (x) = m Y (rj (x))nj , j=0 where nj , j = 1, . . . , m, are the binary coefficients of n. Now we recall the definition of the Walsh–Kaczmarz system {ψn (x) : n ∈ N} . Set ψ0 (x) = 1, while for n ≥ 1 with the binary coefficients nk , k = 1, . . . , m, set m−1 Y ψn (x) = rm (x) (rm−j−1 (x))nj . j=0 Let us consider the Dirichlet kernels Dn (x) = n−1 X ωj (x) , Kn (x) = j=0 n−1 X ψj (x) j=0 for the Walsh–Paley system and for the Walsh–Kaczmarz system, respectively. We need the well-known equality for the Dirichlet kernel of the Walsh–Paley system (see [5], p. 27) ( 2n if x ∈ [0, 1/2n ) ; D2n (x) = (1) 0 if x ∈ [1/2n , 1) . The transformation τn for x ∈ [0, 1) is defined by τn (x) = n−1 X −(k+1) xn−k−1 2 k=0 where x = ∞ P k=1 + ∞ X xj 2−(j+1) , j=n xk 2−(k+1) is the dyadic expansion of x (for x ∈ Q we choose the expansion for which xk → 0 as k → ∞). ON THE UNIFORM CONVERGENCE AND L-CONVERGENCE 225 We apply the transformation τn also for integers p ≥ 0 given by τn (p) = n−1 X xn−j−1 2j , j=0 where p= n−1 X xj 2j . j=0 n Given n ≥ 0 and 0 ≤ p < 2 , we set In (p) = [p 2−n , (p + 1) 2−n ). It is evident that the transformation τn (x) maps the segment In (p) on the segment In (τn (p)) . It is known [11] that Kn (x) = D2k (x) + rk (x) Dm (τk (x)) for n = 2k + m, 0 ≤ m < 2k , (2) and 2k for x ∈ Ik (p) , p = 1, 2, . . . , 2k − 1. (3) τk (p) We consider the double system {ψn (x) × ψm (y) : n, m ∈ N} on the unit square I 2 = [0, 1) × [0, 1) . If f ∈ L (I 2 ) , then |Dm (τk (x))| ≤ Z1 Z1 fˆ (n, m) = f (x, y) ψn (x)ψm (y) dx dy 0 0 is the (n, m)-th Fourier coefficient of f. The rectangular partial sums of double Fourier series with respect to the Walsh–Kaczmarz system are defined by SM,N (f ; x, y) = M −1 N −1 X X fˆ (m, n) ψm (x)ψn (y). m=0 n=0 2 As usual, denote by L (I ) the set of all measurable functions defined on I 2 , for which kf k1 , the integral of |f (x, y)| on I 2 , is finite. Furthermore, let C (I 2 ) be the set of all functions f : I 2 → R that are uniformly continuous from the dyadic topology of I 2 to the usual topology of R with the norm (see [9], pp. 9–11) ¡ ¡ ¢¢ kf kC = sup |f (x, y)| f ∈ C I2 . x,y∈I 2 The total modulus of continuity and the total integrated modulus of continuity are respectively defined by ° ª ©° ω (f ; δ1 , δ2 )C = sup °f (x ⊕ u, y ⊕ v) − f (x, y) °C : 0 ≤ u < δ1 , 0 ≤ v < δ2 , ° ª ©° ω (f ; δ1 , δ2 ) = sup °f (x ⊕ u, y ⊕ v) − f (x, y) ° : 0 ≤ u < δ1 , 0 ≤ v < δ2 , 1 1 226 U.

We also use the notion of the mixed modulus of continuity, and the mixed integrated modulus of continuity which are respectively defined as follows: ©° ω1,2 (f ; δ1 , δ2 )C = sup °f (x ⊕ u, y ⊕ v) − f (x ⊕ u, y) ° ª ¡ ¢ −f (x, y ⊕ v) + f (x, y) °C : 0 ≤ u < δ1 , 0 ≤ v < δ2 , f ∈ C I 2 , ©° ω1,2 (f ; δ1 , δ2 )1 = sup °f (x ⊕ u, y ⊕ v) − f (x ⊕ u, y) ° ª ¡ ¢ −f (x, y ⊕ v) + f (x, y) ° : 0 ≤ u < δ1 , 0 ≤ v < δ2 , f ∈ L I 2 . 1 A function f : I 2 → R is said to be of bounded variation in the sense of Hardy(f ∈ HBV (I 2 )) if there exists a constant K such that for any partition ∆1 : 0 ≤ x0 < x1 < x2 < · · · < xn ≤ 1, ∆2 : 0 ≤ y0 < y1 < y2 < · · · < ym ≤ 1, we have V1,2 (f ) = sup ∆1 ×∆2 n−1 m−1 X X¯ ¯f (xi , yj ) − f (xi+1 , yj ) i=0 j=0 ¯ − f (xi , yj+1 ) + f (xi+1 , yj+1 ) ¯ ≤ K, n−1 X ¯ ¯ ¯f (xi , y) − f (xi+1 , y) ¯ ≤ K, V1 (f ) = sup sup y ∆1 V2 (f ) = sup sup x ∆2 i=0 m−1 X ¯ ¯ ¯f (x, yj ) − f (x, yj+1 ) ¯ ≤ K. j=0 Definition 1 ([4]). We say that the function f : I 2 → R is of bounded partial variation (f ∈ P BV (I 2 )) if V1 (f ) and V2 (f ) are finite.
