1. Introduction
Let ℕ+ denote the set of the positive integers, and ℝ denote the set of real numbers. In this paper, C denote absolute positive constants and Cq denote positive constants depending at most on q although not always the same in different occurrences.
The Walsh–Paley system (the detail briefs can be obtained in the books of [17] and [19]) is a special product generated by the so-called Rademacher functions rn (n ∈ ℕ). For the definition let r be the function given on the interval [0, 1) by
and extended to the whole real line ℝ periodically by 1.Now, define rn(x) := r(2nx) (x ∈ [0, 1), n ∈ ℕ). Then the usual product system (wn, n ∈ ℕ) of is obtained in the following way:
where is the binary decomposition of n, i.e. nk ∈ {0, 1} (k ∈ ℕ). It is well-known (for details see the book [19]) that (wn, n ∈ ℕ) is a complete orthonormal system with respect to the Lebesgue measure of [0, 1).Then a basic property of the Walsh–Dirichlet Kernel is
This interval [0, 1) can be treated as the so called dyadic group, i.e. the set of all sequences (xk, k ∈ ℕ) where xk = 0 ∨ 1. The group operation ∔ is the coordinate-wise addition modulo 2, i.e. if x = (xk, k ∈ ℕ), y = (yk, k ∈ ℕ) then x ∔ y := xk ⊕ yk, k ∈ ℕ, where a ⊕ b denotes the addition modulo 2 of a, b ∈ ℕ. For example the Rademacher functions can be computed in this sense rn(x) = (−1)xn (x ∈ [0, 1), n ∈ ℕ). Furthermore, D2n = 2nχIn (n ∈ ℕ) where In is the set of all (xk, k ∈ ℕ) such that x0 = x1 = · · · = xn−1 = 0 and χIn is its characteristic function.
In this work, we focus on summability methods of Walsh–Kaczmarz–Fourier series. For any , where 0 < n ∈ ℕ, s ∈ ℕ, the so-called Kaczmarz rearrangement (ψn, n ∈ ℕ) (called Walsh–Kaczmarz system) of Walsh–Paley system is defined in the following way
and is called Walsh–Kaczmarz system. We commonly use the following notations. Let |n| := max {k ∈ ℕ : nk ≠ 0} (that is, 2|n| ≤ n < 2|n|+1) and .If f ∈ L1[0, 1), then we can define the Fourier coefficients, the partial sums of the Fourier series, the Dirichlet kernels with respect to the Walsh–Kaczmarz system in the usual manner:
It is known that (for details see [21]) ψ is a complete orthonormal system,
and Moreover, if we define then andThe Fejér means and kernels with respect to the Walsh–Kaczmarz system are defined in the usual manner:
Let Ko := 0. The next estimation with respect to Kn (see [21]) will be used often in this work: if x ∈ [0, 1), 0 < n ∈ ℕ then
From this it follows by (1.1) the uniform L1− boundedness of Kn in whichLet 0 < α ≤ 1, k ∈ ℕ, and f ∈ L1[0, 1). Then, the nth (C, α) Walsh–Kaczmarz Kernels and (C, α) Walsh–Kaczmarz means with respect to ψ will be defined respectively as follows
where It is well-known that (see [24]) and α may also be a sequence α = (αn). In this case we have sequence of (C, αn).The maximal operator of (C, αn) means is defined as
Here, we give also the most important concepts with respect to the dyadic Hardy spaces. Let the maximal function of f ∈ L1[0, 1) be given by
Then, Hardy space on [0, 1) is defined as A function a ∈ L∞[0, 1) is called a 1-atom if either a is identically equal to 1 or there exists a dyadic interval I = x ∔ IN for some N ∈ ℕ, x ∈ [0, 1) such that and . We shall say that a is supported on I.Definition 1.1 ([19])
A sublinear operator T which maps H1[0, 1) into the collection of measurable functions defined on [0, 1) is called 1-quasi-local if there exists a constant C such that
for every p-atom a supported on I.Lemma 1.2.
Let 1-quasi-local operator T is L∞-bounded, i.e.,
Then T is bounded from H1[0, 1) to L1[0, 1).Definition 1.3.
It is already defined in [2] that
For example P (n, 1) = n.Moreover, for the set of sequences α = (αn) and positive real number q, we consider the following subset of natural numbers:
The first result on the a.e. convergence of the (C, 1) means of Walsh–Fourier series is due to Fine [8] and Schipp [18], if the Walsh functions are considered by Paley’s ordering. The analogical result in the case of Walsh–Kaczmarz system was also investigated by many authors. One of the Kaczmarz analogue of Schipp’s [18] results was given by Gát [10]. Besides, he proved also an (H1, L1)-like inequality for the maximal operator of Fejér means with respect to Walsh–Kaczmarz system
Convergence and summability of Cesàro means of the one and two dimensional cases in Lebesgue and martingale Hardy spaces were studied by a lot of authors. We mention Akhobadze [3], Blahota, Persson and Tephnadze [5], Blahota, Tephnadze and Toledo [7], Blahota, Tephnadze [6], Fridli [9], Gát [12], Nagy [15, 16], Simon [20], Weisz [23].
In 2007, Akhobadze [4] introduced the notion of Cesàro means of trigonometric Fourier series with variable parameter setting. The varying parameter settings of the (C, α) means of the Walsh–Paley–Fourier series for different situation were investigated in [1], [2], [13] and with respect to the character systems of the group of 2-adic integers in [22] (for the more general orthonormal system, i.e., with respect to Vilenkin system, in [14]). However, these problems with respect to Walsh–Kaczmarz orthonormal system have not been investigated yet.
Thus, in this paper, it is going to be proved that the maximal operator of Cesàro means of Walsh–Kaczmarz–Fourier series is of weak type (L1, L1). Moreover, the almost everywhere convergence of Cesàro means with varying parameter setting of integrable functions (i.e. , as n → ∞) is proved, for f ∈ L1, for every sequence α = (αn, n ∈ ℕ) where 0 < αn < 1.
2. Main results
Proof
Consider the binary expansion of 0 < n ∈ ℕ, where nk ∈ ℕ, k = 1, ..., q and nk ≥ nk+1, k = 1, ..., q − 1. Then,
Let x ∈ [0, 1), thus by applying (1.2) we get Applying Abel’s transformation, we get the following By considering we can transform as follows:If x0 = ... = xj−1 = 0, note that , then by (1.1) we get
Thus, For x ∈ [0, 1), the situation for becomes Using Abel’s transformation, where , k = 1, . . . , q, we get Hence, the theorem follows.Define the maximal operator
Proof
By the definition of quasi-locality, let f ∈ L1[0, 1) be such that
for some dyadic interval IN(u). Then, Since for n ∈ ℕ, n ≤ 2N and x ∈ IN(u) we have , thus From the proof of Lemma 2.1, we have the decomposition where Again, from the proof of Lemma 2.1, we have If x ∈ [0, 1) \ IN then by (1.1), we get for all t = 0, . . . , 2n1. From the proof of Lemma 2.1, we have I = 0. By Lemma 2.1 in [11], II = 0. The situation for III: with respect to x and for any 0 ≤ j < 2N, we have that the Fejér kernel Kj(y ∔ x) depends only on the coordinates x0, x1, . . . , xN−1. This implies that, Thus, we can re-write So, using Lemma 3 in [11], we get Hence, Note that since for nl < ns ≤ nk because of the Ank measurablity of and ∫ f = 0. Moreover, for ns > nk, y ∔ x ∉ IN.From Lemma 1.1 of [14] (see also [4]), we have
Thus, by the fact that n ∈ ℕαn,q, we have (see (1.5)) Consequently, using (1.4), we can estimate Hence, the lemma is proved.Lemma 2.3.
Let α = (αn, n ∈ ℕ), where 0 < αn < 1 satisfy condition (1.5). Then:
(I) ,
(II) there exists an absolute constant Cq such that ,
(III) the maximal operator is of type (L∞, L∞).
Proof
To prove (I) we use Lemma 2.1 and estimation (1.3). That is,
where em := 2−m−1 = (0, . . . , 0, 1, 0, . . .) and With a similar computation we show that the same estimation can be obtained for β2. Thus, can be estimated as Applying (1.1), the previous estimation implies for that Analogically, it can also be obtained for the L1-norm estimation of β1. Consider that when x0 = . . . = xj−1 = 0. Then by (1.1) we get that is From this and (1.1) we get Let us deal now with the situation , and as follows: Similarly, From (1.4), can be estimated as follows: Thus, (I) follows. The results in (II) and (III) are a direct consequence of (I). Hence, the theorem follows.Theorem 2.4.
Let α = (αn, n ∈ ℕ), where 0 < αn < 1 and f ∈ L1[0, 1). Then:
(I) the maximal operator is of weak type (L1, L1),
(II) as n → ∞ where n ∈ ℕαn,q, where constant Cq depends on q indicated in equation (1.5) above.
Proof
To prove (I) of this theorem, we apply the Calderon–Zygmund decomposition Lemma [11]. That is, let f ∈ L1[0, 1) and . Then there is a decomposition:
such that and are disjoint intervals for which andBy the σ-sublinearity of the maximal operator with an appropriate constant Cq we have
Since is of type (L∞, L∞), we have Then we have A = 0. The case for B becomes, where From Lemma 2.2 we get Finally, we have This shows that the maximal operator is of weak type (L1, L1).Now, we prove (II). Let t ≥ 2k. Then we have Stp ≡ p, where p is a Walsh–Kaczmarz polynomial which can be given by
This implies the statement holds everywhere not only for .Now, fix η, ϵ > 0, f ∈ L1[0, 1). Let p be a one dimensional Walsh–Kaczmarz polynomial such that
Since from (I) the maximal operator is of weak type (L1, L1), we get
This is true for all η > 0.Thus, we get
for an arbitrary ϵ > 0. As a result, we have Finally, for all , Hence, the theorem follows.
