R 1. Let {en }n be a sequence of measurable functions such that en ≥ 0, R en (x)dx = 1, supp en ⊂ (−δn , δn ) with δn → 0 as n → ∞. Prove that kf ∗ en − f k1 → 0 as n → ∞ for any f ∈ L1 (R). P 2. Deduce from Wiener’s Tauberian theorem the following of Hardy: if ∞ n=0 an is Cesaro Presult summable to λ and the sequence {nan }n is bounded, then ∞ a = λ in the usual sense. n n=0 For this take ( X e−x , if x ≥ 0, an , K(x) = S(x) = 0, if x < 0, n≤ex and show that S is bounded and slowly oscillating as x → ∞. 1
