Recently, Lal [9] has determined the degree of approximation of function belonging to Lip α and weighted classes using Product C 1 . Np summability with non-increasing weights{pn }. In this paper, we determine the degree of approximation of function fe , conjugate to a 2π-periodic function f belonging to Lip (ξ (t), r)−class using semi-monotonicity on the generating sequence {pn } with proper set of conditions. Few applications of approximation of functions will also be highlighted. 1. Introduction The method of summability considered here was first introduced by Woronoi [20]. Summability techniques were also applied on some engineering problems like, Chen and Jeng [3] implemented the Cesàro sum of order (C, 1) and(C, 2), in order to accelerate the convergence rate to deal with the Gibbs phenomenon, for the dynamic response of a finite elastic body subjected to boundary traction. Chen et al. [2] applied regularization with Cesàro sum technique for the derivative of the double layer potential. Similarly, Chen and Hong [1] used Cesàro sum regularization technique for hyper singularity of dual Integral equation. The degree of approximation of functions belonging to Lip α, Lip (α, r), Lip (ξ(t), r) and weighted classes by Nörlund (Np ) matrices and general summability matrices has been proved by various investigators like Govil [5], Khan [7], Qureshi [18], Mohapatra and Chandra [15], Leindler [8], Rhoades et al. [19], Guven and Israfilov [4] and Mishra et al.[[10]-[12]]. Here, Lal [9] has assumed monotonicity on the generating sequence {pn } to prove their theorems. The approximation of function fe , conjugate to a periodic function f ∈ Lip (ξ (t), r) (r ≥ 1) 1 using product C . Np − summability has not been studied so far.

P∞ Let n = 0 an be a given infinite series with the sequence of nth partial sums {sn }. Let {pn } be a non-negative sequence of constants, real or complex, and let us write Pn = n X k= 0 pk 6= 0 ∀ n ≥ 0, p−1 = 0 = P−1 and Pn → ∞ asn → ∞ . Pn N The sequence ν = 0 p n − ν sν /Pn defines the N to sequence transformation t n = of the sequence {s } , generated by the sequence sequence t n of Nörlund means n P∞ of coefficients {pn } . The series n = 0 an is said to be summable Np to the sum s if lim t N n exists and is equal to s. In the special case in which n→ ∞ pn = n+ α−1 α−1 = (n + α) ; (α > −1) . (n + 1) (α) The Nörlund summability Np reduces to the familiar C α summability. The product of C 1 summability with a Np summability defines C 1 . Np summability. Pn Pk 1 N Pk−1 ν = 0 pk − ν sν . If Thus the C 1 . Np mean is given by tC = n+ n k = 0 1 P∞ N tC → s as n → ∞ then the infinite series n = 0 an or the sequence {sn } is n N said to be summable C 1 .

Then the Fourier series of f ∈ L 2 π at x is given by f (x) ∼ ∞ ∞ X a0 X An (x) (an cos x + bn sin n x) ≡ + 2 n=0 n=1 (1.1) with nth partial sum sn (f ; x), where an and bn are the Fourier coefficients of f.

If ξ(t) = tα then Lip (ξ(t), r) class coincides with the class Lip(α, r) and if r → ∞ then Lip(α, r) reduces to the class Lip α. Thus, we observe that ξ(t)=tα r→∞ Lip(ξ(t), r) −→ Lip(α, r) −→ Lip α for 0 < α ≤ 1, r ≥ 1, t > 0. L∞ - norm of a function f : R → R is defined by k f k∞ = sup {| f (x) | : x ∈ R} .

The degree of approximation of a function f : R → R by trigonometric polynomial tn of order n under sup norm k k∞ is defined by ([21]) k tn − f k∞ = sup {| tn (x) − f (x) | : x ∈ R} and En (f ) of a function f ∈ L r is given by En (f ) = min k tn − f k r .

Abel’s Transformation: The formula n X uk vk = k=m n −1 X k=m Uk (vk − vk + 1 ) − Um − 1 vm + Un vn , (1.3) where 0 ≤ m ≤ n, Uk = u0 + u1 + u2 + ....+ uk , if k ≥ 0, U− 1 = 0, which can be verified, is known as Abel’s transformation and will be used extensively in what follows. If vm , vm + 1 , ..., vn are non-negative and non-increasing, the left hand side of (1.3) does not exceed 2 vm max | Uk | in absolute value. In fact, m−1 ≤ k ≤ n n X uk vk k=m ≤ max | Uk | ( n−1 X k=m (vk − vk + 1 ) + vm + vn ) = 2 vm max | Uk | .

Main Theorem It is well known that the theory of approximations i.e., TFA, which originated from a well-known theorem of Weierstrass, has become an exciting interdisciplinary field of study for the last 130 years. These approximations have assumed important new dimensions due to their wide applications in signal analysis [16], in general and in Digital Signal Processing [17] in particular, in view of the classical Shannon sampling theorem. Mittal et. al. ([[13], [14]]) have obtained many interesting results on TFA using summability methods without monotonicity on the rows of the matrix T: a digital filter. Broadly speaking, signals are treated as functions of one variable and images are represented by functions of two variables. But till now, nothing seems to have been done so far to obtain the degree of approximation of conjugate of a function using C 1 . Np product summability method of its conjugate series of Fourier series. Therefore, the purpose of present paper is to establish a quite new theorem on degree of approximation of a function f˜ (x) , conjugate to a 2π− periodic function f belonging to Lip (ξ(t), r), (r ≥ 1)− class by C 1 . Np means of conjugate series of Fourier series using semi-monotonicity on the generating sequence {pn }and a proper set of conditions. We prove Theorem 2.1. If f˜ (x) ,conjugate to a 2π − periodic function f belonging to Lip (ξ(t), r) class, then its degree of approximation by C 1 . Np means of conjugate series of Fourier series (1.2) is given by 1 1/2 r N e √ , (2.1) t̃C − f = O (n) ξ n n r provided {pn } satisfies the (2.2) Wn < C, and ξ (t) satisfies the following conditions: {ξ (t)/t} is non-increasing in ′ ′ (2.3) t , r Z π/√ n | ψ (t) | ξ (t) 0 Z π √ π/ n t−δ | ψ (t) | ξ (t) r dt dt !1/r !1/r = O (1) , =O √ δ , n (2.4) (2.5) where δ is an arbitrary number such that s (1 − δ) − 1 > 0, r−1 + s−1 = 1, 1 ≤ r ≤ ∞, conditions (2.4) and (2.5) hold uniformly in x.

Combining (3.2), (3.3) and (3.4) yields (3.1). This completes the proof of Lemma 3.2.

Applications Some interesting applications of the Cesàro summability can be seen [[1], [2], [3]]. The following corollaries can be derived from Theorem 2.1. Corollary 5.1. If ξ(t) = tα , 0 < α ≤ 1, then the class Lip (ξ(t), r) , r ≥ 1, reduces to the class Lip (α, r) , r1 < α < 1 and the degree of approximation of a function fe(x), conjugate to a 2π− periodic function f belonging to the class Lip (α, r) , is given by −α / 2 + 1 / 2 r N . (5.1) t̃C − fe = O (n) n Proof. Putting ξ(t) = tα , 0 < α ≤ 1 in Theorem 2.1, we have N t̃C − fe n r Z = 2π 0 ≤ r dx 1 / r =O = O (n) −α / 2 + r / 2 .

If ξ (t) = tα for 0 < α < 1and r → ∞ in (5.1), then f ∈ Lip α. In this case, using (5.1), we have −α / 2 N . (5.2) fe(x) − t̃C (x) = O (n) n ∞ Proof. For r → ∞, we get N fe(x) − t̃C n (x) ∞ = sup 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π N fe(x) − t̃C n (x) r = O (n)−α / 2 . This completes the proof of corollary 5.2. 4. Conclusion Various results concerning to the degree of approximation of periodic signals (functions) belonging to the Lip (ξ(t), r), (r = 1)-class by Matrix Operator have been reviewed and the condition of monotonicity on the weights {pn } has been relaxed (i.e. weakening the conditions on the filter, we improve the quality of digital filter). Further, a proper (correct) set of conditions have been discussed to rectify the errors. Some interesting application of the operator (C1 . Np ) used in this paper pointed out in Note 2.4.
