DEGREE OF APPROXIMATION OF FUNCTIONS
BELONGING TO LIPα CLASS AND WEIGHTED
(Lr ,ξ(t)) CLASS BY PRODUCT SUMMABILITY
METHOD
Hare Krishna Nigam
Abstract. A good amount of work has been done on degree of approximation of functions
belonging to Lipα, Lip(α, r), Lip(ξ(t), r) and W (Lr , ξ(t)) classes using Ces`
aro and (generalized)
N¨
orlund single summability methods by a number of researchers like Alexits [1], Sahney and Goel
[11], Qureshi and Neha [9], Quershi [7, 8], Chandra [2], Khan [4], Leindler [5] and Rhoades [10]. But
till now no work seems to have been done so far in the direction of present work. Therefore, in present
paper, two quite new results on degree of approximation of functions f ∈ Lipα and f ∈ W (Lr , ξ(t))
class by (E,1)(C,1) product summability means of Fourier series have been obtained.

Introduction
Let f (x) be periodic with period 2π and integrable in the sense of Lebesgue. The
Fourier series of f (x) is given by
∞
a0 X
f (x) ∽
+
(an cos nx + bn sin nx)

(1.1)
n=1
with nth partial sum sn (f ; x).
L∞ =norm of a function f : R → RR is defined by kf k∞ = sup {| f (x) |: x ∈ R}
1
2π
Lr = norm is defined by kf kr = ( 0 | f (x) |r dx)r , r ≥ 1
The degree of approximation of a function f : R → R by a trigonometric
polynomial tn of order n under sup norm k k∞ is defined by Zygmund [13].
k tn − f k∞ = sup {| tn (x) − f (x) : x} and En (f ) of a function f ∈ Lr is given
by
En (f ) = minktn − f kr

A function f ∈ Lipα if

(1.3)
f ∈ Lip(α, r) if

Given a positive increasing function ξ(t) and an integer r ≧ 1, f ∈ Lip(ξ(t), r) if

In case β = 0, we find that W (Lr , ξ(t)) reduces to the class Lip(ξ(t), r) and if
ξ(t) = tα then Lip(ξ(t), r) class reduces to the class Lip(α, r) and if r → ∞ then
Lip(α, r)Pclass reduces to the class Lipα.

This completes the proof of Theorem 1.

(4.4)
we have
| φ(x + t) − φ(x) | ≦ | f (u + x + t) − f (u + x) | + | f (u − x − t) − f (u − x) |
Hence, by Minkowiski’s inequality,

Then f ∈ W (Lr , ξ(t)) ⇒ φ ∈ W (Lr , ξ(t)).
