Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, University str. 2, Tbilisi 0128, Georgia e-mail: zazagoginava@gmail.com (Received February 28, 2012; Accepted August 21, 2012) The Uniform convergence of double Fourier-Legendre series of function of bounded Harmonic variation and bounded partial Λ-variation are investigated. Keywords: Fourier-Legendre series, Generalized bounded variation, Uniform convergence AMS Subject Classification: 42C10. 1. Classes of Functions of Bounded Generalized Variation In 1881 Jordan [14] introduced a class of functions of bounded variation and applied it to the theory of Fourier series. Hereinafter this notion was generalized by many authors (quadratic variation, Φ-variation, Λ-variation ets., see [5, 18, 23, 24]). In two dimensional case the class BV of functions of bounded variation was introduced by Hardy [13]. Let f be a real function of two variables. Given intervals ∆ = (a, b), J = (c, d) and points x, y from I := [−1, 1] we denote f (∆, y) := f (b, y) − f (a, y), f(x, J) = f (x, d) − f (x, c) and f (∆, J) := f (a, c) − f (a, d) − f (b, c) + f (b, d). Let E = {∆i } be a collection of nonoverlapping intervals from I ordered in an arbitrary way and let Ω be the set of all such collections E. Denote by Ωn the set of all collections of n nonoverlapping intervals ∆k ⊂ I. 2 2 For the sequence of positive numbers Λ = {λn }∞ n=1 and I := [−1, 1] we denote ΛV1 (f ; I 2 ) = sup sup y ISSN: 1512-0082 print c 2012 Tbilisi University Press ° E∈Ω X |f (∆i , y)| i λi (E = {∆i }) , 2 Bulletin of TICMI ΛV2 (f ; I 2 ) = sup sup X |f (x, Jj )| λj x F ∈Ω j ΛV1,2 (f ; I 2 ) = sup F, E∈Ω (F = {Jj }), X X |f (∆i , Jj )| i j λi λj . Definition 1.1: We say that the function f has bounded Λ-variation on I 2 and write f ∈ ΛBV , if ΛV (f ; I 2 ) := ΛV1 (f ; I 2 ) + ΛV2 (f ; I 2 ) + ΛV1,2 (f ; I 2 ) < ∞. We say that the function f has bounded partial Λ-variation and write f ∈ P ΛBV if P ΛV (f ; I 2 ) := ΛV1 (f ; I 2 ) + ΛV2 (f ; I 2 ) < ∞. ¡ 1 2¢ Definition 1.2: We say that the function f is continuous in Λ , Λ -variation ¡ ¢ ¡ ¢ on I 2 and write f ∈ C Λ1 , Λ2 V I 2 , if ¡ ¢ ¡ ¢ lim Λ1n V1 f ; I 2 = lim Λ2n V2 f ; I 2 = 0 n→∞ n→∞ and ¡ ¢ ¡ ¢ ¡ ¢ ¡ ¢ lim Λ1n , Λ2 V1,2 f ; I 2 = lim Λ1 , Λ2n V1,2 f ; I 2 = 0, n→∞ n→∞ ª∞ © © ª∞ where Λin := λik k=n = λik+n k=0 , i = 1, 2. If λn ≡ 1 (or if 0 < c < λn < C < ∞, n = 1, 2, . . .) the classes ΛBV and P ΛBV coincide with the Hardy class BV and PBV respectively. Hence it is reasonable to assume that λn → ∞ and since the intervals in E = {∆i } are ordered arbitrarily, we will suppose, without loss of generality, that the sequence {λn } is increasing. Thus, 1 < λ1 ≤ λ2 ≤ . . . , lim λn = ∞. n→∞ (1) In the case when λn = n, n = 1, 2 . . . we say Harmonic Variation instead of Λ-variation and write H instead of Λ (HBV , P HBV , HV (f ), ets). The notion of Λ-variation was introduced by Waterman [24] in the one dimensional case, by Sahakian [21] in the two dimensional case. The notion of bounded partial variation (P BV ) was introduced by Goginava [11] and the notion of bounded partial Λ-variation, by Goginava and Sahakian [12]. The statements of the following theorem is known. Theorem D [Dragoshanski [9]] HBV = CHV . Definition 1.3: Let Φ-be a strictly increasing continuous function on [0, +∞) with Φ (0) = 0. We say that the function f has bounded partial Φ-variation on I 2 Vol. 16, No. 2, 2012 3 and write f ∈ P BVΦ , if n X (1) VΦ (f ) := sup sup y (2) VΦ (f ) := sup {Ii }∈Ωn i=1 m X sup x {Jj }∈Ωm j=1 Φ (|f (Ii , y) |) < ∞, n = 1, 2, ..., Φ (|f (x, Jj ) |) < ∞, m = 1, 2, .... In the case when Φ (u) = up , p ≥ 1, the notion of bounded partial p-variation (class P BVp ) was introduced in [10]. In [12] it is proved that the following theorem is true. Theorem GS Let Λ = {λn } and λn /n ≥ λn+1 / (n + 1) > 0, n = 1, 2, .... . 1) If ∞ X λn n=1 n2 < ∞, then P ΛBV ⊂ HBV . 2) If, in addition, for some δ > 0 λn λ [1+δ] = O( n[1+δ] ) n n as n→∞ and ∞ X λn n=1 n2 = ∞, then P ΛBV 6⊂ HBV . Corollary 1.4: P BV ⊂ HBV and P HBV 6⊂ HBV . Definition 1.5 see [11]: The partial modulus of variation of a function f are the functions v1 (n, f ) and v2 (m, f ) , defined by v1 (n, f ) := sup sup y v2 (m, f ) := sup n X {Ii }∈Ωn i=1 sup m X x {Jk }∈Ωm i=1 |f (Ii , y)| , |f (x, Jk )| , n = 1, 2, . . . , m = 1, 2, . . . . For functions of one variable the concept of the modulus variation was introduced by Chanturia [5]. 4 Bulletin of TICMI The following theorem is proved by Goginava and Sahakian [12]. Theorem GS2 If f ∈ B is bounded on I 2 and p vj (n, f ) < ∞, 3/2 n n=1 ∞ X j = 1, 2, then f ∈ HBV. ¡ ¢ C I 2 is the space of continuous functions on I 2 with the uniform norm kf kC := max |f (x, y)| . (x,y)∈I 2 ¡ ¢ The partial moduli of continuity of a function f ∈ C I 2 in the C-norm are defined by ω1 (f ; δ) := max {|f (x, y) − f (s, y)| , x, y, s ∈ I, |x − s| ≤ δ} , ω2 (f ; δ) := max {|f (x, y) − f (x, t)| , x, y, t ∈ I, |y − t| ≤ δ} , while the mixed modulus of continuity is defined as follows: ω1,2 (f ; δ1 , δ2 ) : = max {|f (x, y) − f (s, y) − f (x, t) + f (s, t)| , x, y, s, t ∈ I, |x − s| ≤ δ1 , |y − t| ≤ δ2 } . 2. Fourier-Legendre Series Let pn (x) be the Legendre orthonormal polynomial of degree n. If f is an integrable function on I 2 , then Fourier-Legendre series of f is the series ∞ X ∞ X fb(n, m) pn (x) pn (y) , n=0 m=0 where Z1 Z1 fb(n, m) := f (s, t) pn (s) pm (t) dsdt −1 −1 is the (n, m)th Fourier coefficient of the function f . The rectangular partial sums of double Fourier-Legendre series are defined by SM N f (x, y) := N −1 M −1 X X n=0 m=0 fb(n, m) pn (x) pm (y) . Vol. 16, No. 2, 2012 5 It is easy to show that Z1 Z1 f (s, t) Kn (x, s) Km (y, t) dsdt, SM N f (x, y) = (2) −1 −1 where Kn (x, s) := n−1 X pk (s) pk (x) . k=0 The Chrestoffel-Darboux formula is well-know (see ([22])) Kn (x, t) = γn−1 pn−1 (t) pn (x) − pn−1 (x) pn (t) . γn x−t (3) Since γn−1 ≤1 γn and |pn (x)| ≤ c (1 − x2 )1/4 , x ∈ (−1, 1) (4) from (3) we have |Kn (x, t)| ≤ c .

(9) Convergence of double Fourier-Legendre series The well known Dirichlet-Jordan theorem (see [25]) states that the trigonometric Fourier series of a function f (x), x ∈ [0, 2π) of bounded variation converges at every point x to the value [f (x + 0) + f (x − 0)] /2. Hardy [13] generalized the Dirichlet-Jordan theorem to the double trigonometric Fourier series. He proved that if the function f (x, y) has bounded variation in the sense of Hardy (f ∈ BV ), then the double trigonometric Fourier series of the continuous function f converges uniformly on [0, 2π]2 . The author [11] has proved that in Hardy’s theorem there is no need to require the boundedness of V1,2 (f ); moreover, it is proved that if f is a continuous function and has bounded partial variation (f ∈ P BV ) then its double trigonometric Fourier series converges uniformly on [0, 2π]2 . Convergence of rectangular and spherical partial sums of d-dimensional trigonometric Fourier series of functions of bounded Λ-variation was investigated in details by Sahakian [21], Dyachenko [6–8], Bakhvalov [1], Sablin [20]. For the one-dimensional Fourier-Legendre series the convergence of partial sums of functions Harmonic bounded variation and other bounded generalized variation were studied by Agakhanov, Natanson [2], Bojanic [4], Belenkiı̆ [3], Kvernadze [15–17], Powierska [19].
