N. MISHRA, H. H. KHAN, K. KHATRI AND L. N. MISHRA Abstract. Very recently, Sonker and Singh [21] determined the degree of approximation of the conjugate of 2π-periodic signals (functions) belonging to Lip(α, r)(0 < α ≤ 1, r ≥ 1)-class by using Cesàro-Euler (C,1) (E,q) means of their conjugate trigonometric Fourier series. In the present paper, we generalize the result of Sonker and Singh [21] on the generalized weighted Lipschitz W (Lr , ξ(t)), (r ≥ 1)- class of signals (functions) by product summability (C,1) (E,q) transform of conjugate trigonometric Fourier series. Our result also generalizes the result of Lal and Singh [6]. Few applications and example of approximation of functions will also be highlighted. 1. Introduction The degree of approximation of functions belonging to Lipα, Lip(α, r), Lip(ξ(t), r) and W (Lr , ξ(t)), (r ≥ 1) - classes by general summability matrices has been proved by various investigators like Govil [1], Khan [3-5], Mohapatra and Chandra [19], Mittal et al. [8-9], Mittal and Mishra [7], Mishra et al. [10-17] and Mishra and Mishra [18]. Recently, Sonker and Singh [21] discussed the degree of approximation of the conjugate of signals (functions) belonging to Lip(α, r) class by (C, 1)(E, q) means of conjugate trigonometric Fourier series. But nothing seems to have been done so far to obtain the degree of approximation of conjugate of signals belonging to the generalized weighted Lipschitz W (Lr , ξ(t)), (r ≥ 1) class by (C,1) (E, q) product summability transforms. Weighted W (Lr , ξ(t)), (r ≥ 1) Lipschitz - class is generalization of Lipα, Lip(α, r) and Lip(ξ(t), r) - classes.

Let L2π be the space of all 2π - periodic and Lebesgue-integrable functions over [−π, π].Then the Fourier series of f ∈ L2π at x is given by f (x) ∼ ∞ ∞ k=1 k=0 X a0 X + (ak cos kx + bk sin kx) ≡ Ak (x), 2 (1) with nth partial sums sn (f ; x), called trigonometric polynomial of degree (or order) n, of the first (n + 1) terms of the Fourier series of f , ak and bk are the Fourier coefficients of f . The conjugate series of Fourier series (1) is given by ∞ X k=1 (bk cos kx − ak sin kx) ≡ ∞ X Bk (x). (2) k=1 P∞ Let n=0 un be a given infinite series with sequence of its nth partial sums {sn }. Hausdorff matrix H ≡ (hn,k ) is an infinite lower triangular matrix defined by n n−k µk , 0 ≤ k ≤ n, k ∆ hn,k = 0, k > n, where ∆ is the forward difference operator defined by ∆µn = µn − µn+1 and ∆k+1 µn = ∆k (∆µn ). If H is regular, then {µn }, known as moment sequence, has the representation Z 1 un dγ(u), µn = 0 where γ(u) known as mass function, is continuous at u = 0 and belongs to BV[0,1] such that γ(0) = 0, γ(1) = 1; and for 0 < u < 1, γ(u) = [γ(u + 0) + γ(u − 0)]/2. The Hausdorff means of conjugate Fourier series of f are defined by H̃n (f ; x) = n X k=0 hn,k s̃k , n ≥ 0. The conjugate Fourier series is said to be summable to s by Hausdorff means, if H̃n (f ; x) → s, as n → ∞. For the mass function γ(u) is given by 0, 0 ≤ u < a, γ(u) = 1, a ≤ u ≤ 1, where a = 1/(1 + q), q > 0, we can verify that µk = 1/(1 + q)k , and ( n−k n q k (1+qn ) , 0 ≤ k ≤ n, hn,k = 0, k > n. Thus Hausdorff matrix H ≡ (hn,k ) reduces to Euler matrix (E, q) of order q > 0. One more example of Hausdorff matrix [γ(u) = u for 0 ≤ u ≤ 1] is the well known Cesàro matrix of order 1 (C,1). The (E, q) transform is defined as the nth partial sum of (E, q), q > 0 summability and we denote it by Enq . If n X 1 n q q n−k sk → s, as n → ∞, (3) En = k (q + 1)n k=0 42 V. N. MISHRA, H. H. KHAN, K. KHATRI AND L. N. MISHRA then the infinite series P∞ n=0 un is summable (E, q) to a definite number s [2]. If n s0 + s1 + s2 + ... + sn 1 X τn = = sk → s, as n → ∞, n+1 n+1 (4) k=0 P then the infinite series ∞ n=0 un is summable to the definite number s by (C,1) method. The (C,1) transform of the (E, q) transform defines (C,1) (E, q) product transform and denote it by Enq Cn1 . Thus if n k X 1 X k q k−v sv → s, as n → ∞, (5) (1 + q)−k Cn1 Enq = v n+1 v=0 k=0 P then the infinite series ∞ n=0 un is said to be summable by (C,1) (E, q) method or summable (C,1) (E, q) to a definite number ’s’. P ∞ If Cn1 Enq → s as n → ∞ then the infinite series n=0 un or the sequence {sn } is said to be summable (C,1) (E, q) to the sum s if limn→∞ Cn1 Enq exists and is equal to s. n X 1 n sn → s ⇒ (E, q)(sn ) = Enq = q n−k sk → s, as n → ∞, (E, q) method is regular, k (1 + q)n k=0 Cn1 Enq ⇒ (C, 1)((E, q)(sn )) = → s, as n → ∞, (C, 1) method is regular, ⇒ (C, 1)(E, q) method is regular. A signal (function) is said to belong to the class Lipα, if |f (x + t) − f (x)| = O(|tα |) f or 0 < α ≤ 1, t > 0. (6) and f (x) ∈ Lip(α, r), f or 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π , if Z 2π r1 = O |t|α , 0 < α ≤ 1, r ≥ 1, t > 0. kf (x+t)−f (x)kr = |f (x+t)−f (x)|r dx 0 (7) For a given a positive increasing function ξ(t), f (x) ∈ Lip(ξ(t), r) if Z 2π r1 kf (x + t) − f (x)kr = |f (x + t) − f (x)|r dx = O ξ(t) , r ≥ 1, t > 0. (8) 0 Given positive increasing function ξ(t), an integer r ≥ 1, a signal (function) f is said to belong to the generalized weighted Lipschitz W (Lr , (ξ(t)))-class ([5]), if [f (x + t) − f (x)]sinβ x/2 = O ξ(t) , β ≥ 0, t > 0. (9) r If β = 0, then the generalized weighted Lipschitz W (Lr , (ξ(t))) class coincides with the class Lip(ξ(t), r), we observe that β=0 ξ(t)=tα r→∞ W (Lr , (ξ(t)) −−−→ Lip(ξ(t), r) −−−−−→ Lip(α, r) −−−→ Lip(α) f or 0 < α ≤ 1, r ≥ 1, t > 0. (10) The Lr - norm of signal f is defined by Z 2π 1r r , (1 ≤ r < ∞), and kf k∞ = sup |f (x)|. (11) kf kr = |f (x)| dx 0 x∈[0,2π] A signal (function) f is approximated by trigonometric polynomials τn (f ) of order n and the degree of approximation En (f ) is given by [22] DEGREE OF APPROXIMATION OF CONJUGATE OF SIGNALS (FUNCTIONS) En (f ) = min kf (x) − τ (f ; x)kr , 43 (12) n in terms of n, where τn (f ; x) is a trigonometric polynomial of degree n. This method of approximation is called Trigonometric Fourier Approximation (TFA) [8]. We note that Enq and Cn1 Enq are also trigonometric polynomials of degree (or order) n. The conjugate function fe(x) is defined for almost every x by 1 fe(x) = − 2π Z π ψ(t)cos t/2 dt = lim h→0 0 − 1 2π Z π ψ(t)cos t/2 dt h (see [22, p. 131]).

Known Theorem In a recent paper, Sonker and Singh [21] have studied the degree of approximation of functions belonging to Lip(α, r) - class using (C,1) (E, q) summability means of its conjugate Fourier series. They proved the following theorem: Theorem 2.1. Let f (x) be a 2π- periodic, Lebesgue integrable function and belong to the Lip(α, r) - class with r ≥ 1 and αr ≥ 1. Then the degree of approximation of fe(x), the conjugate of f (x) by (C,1) (E, q) means of its conjugate Fourier series is given by (14) kC 1 E q − fekr = O n−α+1/r , n = 0, 1, 2, ..., n provided Z n π/(n+1) 0 Z π |ψ(t)| tα r r1 = O((n + 1)−1 ), dt r r1 −δ |ψ(t)| = O((n + 1)δ ), t dt tα π/(n+1) (15) (16) where δ is an arbitrary number such that (α+δ)s+1 < 0 and r−1 +s−1 = 1 f or r > 1. 3. Main Theorem Approximation by trigonometric polynomials is at the heart of approximation theory. The most important trigonometric polynomials used in the approximation theory are obtained by linear summation methods of Fourier series of 2π -periodic functions on the real line (i.e. Cesàro means, Nörlund means and Product CesàroNörlund means, Product Ceàsro-Euler means etc.). Much of the advance in the theory of trigonometric approximation is due to the periodicity of the functions. Recently, Mishra et al. [14] have studied the degree of approximation of functions belonging to W (Lr , ξ(t)) - class through (E, q)(C, 1) means of conjugate Fourier 44 V. N. MISHRA, H. H. KHAN, K. KHATRI AND L. N. MISHRA series. In this paper, we use the (C, 1)(E, q) means of conjugate Fourier series of f ∈ W (Lr , ξ(t)) to determine the degree of approximation of the conjugate of f , which in turn generalizes the result of Sonker and Singh [21] and Lal and Singh [6]. More precisely, we prove Theorem 3.1. If fe(x), conjugate to a 2π - periodic function f belonging to the generalized weighted Lipschitz W (Lr , ξ(t)), (r ≥ 1) - class then its degree of approximation by (C,1) (E, q) product summability means of conjugate series of Fourier series is given by n√ 1 o 1 ^ 1 E q − fek = O ( n) r +β ξ √ , kC n r n n (17) provided ξ(t) satisfies the following conditions: Z π √ n 0 Z π π √ n t|ψ(t)| ξ(t) r t−δ |ψ(t)| ξ(t) sinβr t/2 dt 1/r 1 =O √ , n r 1/r δ √ n , dt =O (18) (19) ξ(t) and t is non-increasing in ’t’, where δ is an arbitrary number such that s(1−δ +β)−1 > 0, r1 + 1s = 1, 1 ≤ r ≤ ∞, ^ 1 q ^ conditions (18) and (19) hold uniformly in x and C n En is (C, 1)(E, q) means of the series (2) and 1 f (x) = − 2π Note 3.2 ξ √π n ≤ πξ √1 n Z π ψ(t)cos t/2dt.

Applications The theory of approximation is a very extensive field, which has various applications. As mentioned in [20], the Lp -space in general, and L2 and L∞ in particular play an important role in the theory of signals and filters. From the point of view of the applications, Sharper estimates of infinite matrices are useful to get bounds for the lattice norms (which occur in solid state physics) of matrix valued functions, and enables to investigate perturbations of matrix valued functions and compare them. The following corollaries may be derived from Theorem 3.1. Corollary 6.1. If ξ(t) = tα , 0 < α ≤ 1, then the weighted class W (Lr , ξ(t)), r ≥ 1 reduces to the class Lip(α, r), (1/r) < 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 1 q ^ 1 e |Cn En − f kr = O √ α−1/r . (25) ( n) Proof.

An Example Since Hausdorff matrices commute, therefore it is very easy to find an example of a positive non-convergent sequence which is (C, 1) summable. Let us consider an infinite series ∞ X (−1)n (2q + 1)n cos nx n=0 The nth partial sums sn of series (27) at x =0 is given by sn = n X (−1)r (2q + 1)r cos rx r=0 ≤ 1 − (−1)n+1 (2q + 1)n+1 2(1 + q) Since limn→∞ sn does not exist. Therefore the series (27) is non-convergent. Now, the (E, q) transform of (27) is given by n X 1 n q En = q n−k sk , q > 0 q (1 + q)n k=0 n X 1 − (−1)k+1 (2q + 1)k+1 1 n n−k q ≤ k (1 + q)n 2(1 + q) k=0 = = 1 (1 + 2q)(q − 1 − 2q)n + 2(1 + q) 2(1 + q)(q + 1)n 1 (1 + 2q)(−1)n + 2(1 + q) 2(1 + q) (27) DEGREE OF APPROXIMATION OF CONJUGATE OF SIGNALS (FUNCTIONS) 51 Here, limn→∞ Enq not exist. Hence the series (27) is not summable.

In n X n q n−k k k=0 Change the variable of summation by j = (n − k) to get n 0 X X n n q j = (1 + q)n . qj = j n−j j=n j=0 Now integrate both sides from 0 to x to get j+1 x n X (1 + x)n+1 − 1 x (1 + q)n+1 n = = . j j+1 n+1 n+1 0 j=0 Thus j n X (1 + x)n+1 − 1 x n = . j j+1 x(n + 1) j=0 Finally, the (C, 1) (E, q) transform of (27) is given by n X 1 n Enq Cn1 = q n−k σk1 k (1 + q)n k=0 n X (1 + 2q) (1 + 2q)k+2 1 1 n n−k + + q ≤ k (1 + q)n 2(1 + q) 4(1 + q)2 (k + 1) 4(1 + q)2 (k + 1) k=0 n−k n−k n n X (1 + 2q) (1 + 2q)2 X n q 1 q n + − + = n+2 n+2 k k 2(1 + q) 4(1 + q) (k + 1) 4(1 + q) (k + 1) k=0 k=0 2 n+1 n+1 1 (1 + 2q) (1 + q) −1 (1 + q) −1 (1 + 2q) = + + 2(1 + q) 4(1 + q)n+2 (n + 1)q 4(1 + q)n+2 (n + 1)q 1 1 1 (1 + 2q)2 (1 + 2q) = 1− 1 − + . + 2(1 + q) 4(1 + q)(n + 1)q (1 + q)n+1 4(1 + q)(n + 1)q (1 + q)n+1 1 Enq Cn1 → 2(1+q) as n → ∞, the series (27) is (E, q)(C, 1) summable. Therefore the series (27) is neither (E, q) summable nor (C, 1) summable but it 1 . Thus the product summability (E, q)(C, 1) is is (E, q)(C, 1) summable to 2(1+q) more powerful than (E, q) and (C, 1). Consequently (E, q)(C, 1) gives the better 52 V. N. MISHRA, H. H. KHAN, K. KHATRI AND L. N. MISHRA approximation than the individual methods (E, q) and (C, 1).
