Let ⁿ denote the usual n-torus and let $S{̃}_u^{\delta }\left(f\right)$, u > 0, denote the Bochner-Riesz means of order δ > 0 of the Fourier expansion of f ∈ L¹(ⁿ). The main result of this paper states that for f ∈ H¹(ⁿ) and the critical index α: = (n-1)/2, $li{m}_{R\to \infty }1/logR{\int }_0^R\left(\right||S{̃}_u^{\alpha }\left(f\right)-{f\left|\right|}_{H¹\left(ⁿ\right)})/(u+1)du=0$.

We prove an approximation lemma on (stratified) homogeneous groups that allows one to approximate a function in the non-isotropic Sobolev space ${\dot{NL}}^{1,Q}$ by $L^{\infty }$ functions, generalizing a result of Bourgain–Brezis. We then use this to obtain a Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality for $$ on the Heisenberg group ${ℍ}^n$.

Let W be an operator weight taking values almost everywhere in the bounded positive invertible linear operators on a separable Hilbert space . We show that if W and its inverse $W^{-1}$ both satisfy a matrix reverse Hölder property introduced by Christ and Goldberg, then the weighted Hilbert transform $H:L{²}_W(ℝ,)\to L{²}_W(ℝ,)$ and also all weighted dyadic martingale transforms $T_{\sigma }:L{²}_W(ℝ,)\to L{²}_W(ℝ,)$ are bounded. We also show that this condition is not necessary for the boundedness of the weighted Hilbert transform.

This is a survey of results in a particular direction of the theory of strong approximation by orthogonal series, related mostly with author's contributions to the subject.

Wavelets originated in 1980's for the analysis of (seismic) signals and have seen an explosion of applications. However, almost all the material is based on wavelets over Euclidean spaces. This paper deals with an approach to the theory and algorithmic aspects of wavelets in a general separable Hilbert space framework. As examples Legendre wavelets on the interval [-1,+1] and scalar and vector spherical wavelets on the unit sphere 'Omega' are discussed in more detail.

The well-known general Tauberian theorem of N. Wiener is formulated and proved for distributions in the place of functions and its Ganelius' formulation is corrected. Some changes of assumptions of this theorem are discussed, too.

We investigate the behaviour of Fourier coefficients with respect to the system of ultraspherical polynomials. This leads us to the study of the “boundary” Lorentz space ${ℒ}_{\lambda }$ corresponding to the left endpoint of the mean convergence interval. The ultraspherical coefficients $c{ₙ}^{\left(\lambda \right)}\left(f\right)$ of ${ℒ}_{\lambda }$-functions turn out to behave like the Fourier coefficients of functions in the real Hardy space ReH¹. Namely, we prove that for any $f\in {ℒ}_{\lambda }$ the series ${\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }c{ₙ}^{\left(\lambda \right)}\left(f\right)cosn\theta$ is the Fourier series of some function φ ∈ ReH¹ with ${\left|\right|\phi \left|\right|}_{ReH¹}{\le c\left|\right|f\left|\right|}_{{ℒ}_{\lambda }}$.
