1 Introduction
Let \(N_{+}\) denote the set of positive integers, and let \(N:=N_{+} \cup \{0\}\). Let \(m:= ( m_{0},m_{1},\ldots ) \) be a sequence of positive integers not less than 2. Denote by \(Z_{m_{k}}:=\{0,1,\ldots,m _{k}-1\}\) the additive group of integers modulo \(m_{k}\). Define the group \(G_{m}\) as the complete direct product of the groups \(Z_{m_{j}}\) with the product of the discrete topologies of \(Z_{m_{j}}\).
The direct product of the measures
is the Haar measure on \(G_{m}\) with \(\mu ( G_{m} ) =1\). If the sequence m is bounded, then \(G_{m}\) is called a bounded Vilenkin group. In this paper, we consider only bounded Vilenkin groups. The elements of \(G_{m}\) can be represented by sequences \(x:= ( x_{0},x _{1},\ldots,x_{j},\ldots ) \) (\(x_{j}\in Z_{m_{j}} \)). The group operation + in \(G_{m}\) is given by
for \(x:= ( x_{0},\ldots,x_{k},\ldots ) \) and \(y:= ( y_{0},\ldots,y _{k},\ldots ) \in G_{m}\). The inverse of + will be denoted by −.
It is easy to give a base for the neighborhoods of \(G_{m}\):
for \(x \in G_{m}\) and \(n \in N\). Define \(I_{n}:=I_{n} ( 0 ) \) for \(n\in N_{+}\). Set \(e_{n}:= ( 0,\ldots,0,1,0,\ldots ) \in G_{m}\), where the nth coordinate of which is 1, and the rest are zeros (\(n\in N \)).
We define the so-called generalized number system based on m as follows: \(M_{0}:=1\), \(M_{k+1}:=m_{k}M_{k}\) (\(k\in N \)). Then every \(n \in N\) can be uniquely expressed as \(n=\sum_{j=0} ^{\infty }n_{j}M_{j}\), where \(n_{j} \in Z_{m_{j}}\) (\(j \in N_{+} \)), and only a finite number of \(n_{j}\) differ from zero. We also use the following notation: \(\vert n \vert :=\max \{k\in N:n_{k}\neq 0\}\) (i.e., \(M_{|n|}\leq n< M_{|n|+1}\), \(n\neq 0\)). For \(x \in G_{m}\), we denote \(\vert x \vert :=\sum_{j=0}^{ \infty }\frac{x_{j}}{M_{j+1}}\) (\(x_{j}\in Z_{m_{j}} \)).
Next, we introduce on \(G_{m}\) an orthonormal system, which is called the Vilenkin system. First, we define the complex-valued functions \(r_{k} ( x ) :G_{m}\rightarrow C\), the generalized Rademacher functions, as follows:
Now we define the Vilenkin system \(\psi := ( \psi _{n}:n\in N ) \) on \(G_{m}\) as
In particular, if \(m=2\), then we call this system the Walsh–Paley system. Each \(\psi _{n}\) is a character of \(G_{m}\), and all characters of \(G_{m}\) are of this norm. Moreover, \(\psi _{n} ( -x ) =\bar{ \psi }_{n} ( x ) \).
The Dirichlet kernels are defined by
Recall that (see [20] or [23])
The Vilenkin system is orthonormal and complete in \(L^{1} ( G _{m} ) \) (see [1]).
Next, we introduce some notation from the theory of two-dimensional Vilenkin system. Let m̃ be a sequence like m. The relation between the sequences \(( \tilde{m}_{n} ) \) and \(( \tilde{M} _{n}) \) is the same as between sequences \(( m_{n} ) \) and \((M_{n}) \). The group \(G_{m}\times G_{\tilde{m}}\) is called a two-dimensional Vilenkin group. The normalized Haar measure is denoted by μ as in the one-dimensional case. We also suppose that \(m=\tilde{m}\) and \(G_{m}\times G_{\tilde{m}}=G_{m}^{2}\).
The norm of the space \(L^{p} ( G_{m}^{2} ) \) is defined by
Denote by \(C ( G_{m}^{2} ) \) the class of continuous functions on the group \(G_{m}^{2}\) endowed with the supremum norm.
For brevity in notation, we write \(L^{\infty } ( G_{m}^{2} ) \) instead of \(C ( G_{m}^{2} ) \).
The two-dimensional Fourier coefficients, the rectangular partial sums of the Fourier series, and the Dirichlet kernels with respect to the two-dimensional Vilenkin system are defined as follows:
Denote
where
and
The \((C,-\alpha )\) means of the double Vilenkin–Fourier series are defined as follows:
where
It is well known that (see [28])
and
where positive constants \(c_{1}\) and \(c_{2}\) depend on α.
The dyadic partial moduli of continuity of a function \(f\in L^{p} ( G_{m}^{2} ) \) in the \(L^{p}\)-norm are defined by
and
whereas the dyadic mixed modulus of continuity is defined as follows:
It is clear that
The dyadic total modulus of continuity is defined by
The problems of summability of partial sums and Cesàro means for Walsh–Fourier series were studied in [2, 13,14,15,16,17,18,19, 21, 22, 25, 26].
The convergence issue of Fejér (and Cesàro) means on the Walsh and Vilenkin groups for unbounded case were studied in [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11].
In his monograph [27], Zhizhinashvili investigated the behavior of Cesàro \((C, \alpha )\)-means for double trigonometric Fourier series in detail. Goginava [18] studied the analogous question in the case of the Walsh system. In particular, the following theorems were proved.
Theorem A
Let f belong to \(L^{p} ( G_{2} ) \) for some \(p \in [ 1,\infty ] \) and \(\alpha \in ( 0,1 ) \). Then, for any \(2^{k}\leq n<2^{k+1}\) (\(k, n\in N\)), we have the inequality
Theorem B
Let f belong to \(L^{p} ( G_{2} ) \) for some \(p \in [ 1,\infty ] \) and \(\alpha \in ( 0,1 ) \). Then, for any \(2^{k}\leq n<2^{k+1}\) (\(k, n\in N\)), we have the inequality
In this paper, we state and prove analogous results in the case of double Vilenkin–Fourier series. Our main results are the following theorems.
Theorem 1
Let f belong to \(L^{p} ( G_{m}^{2} ) \) for some \(p \in [ 1,\infty ] \) and \(\alpha \in ( 0,1 ) \). Then, for any \(M_{k}\leq n< M_{k+1}\) (\(k, n\in N\)), we have the inequality
Theorem 2
Let f belong to \(L^{p} ( G_{m}^{2} ) \) for some \(p \in [ 1,\infty ] \) and \(\alpha \in ( 0,1 ) \). Then, for any \(M_{k}\leq n< M_{k+1}\) (\(k, n\in N\)), we have the inequality
To make the proofs of these theorems clearer, we formulate some auxiliary lemmas in Sect. 2. Some of these lemmas are new and of independent interest. Detailed proofs can be found in Sect. 3.
2 Auxiliary lemmas
To prove Theorems 1 and 2, we need the following three lemmas (see [1, 12], and [8], respectively)
Lemma 1
Let \(\alpha _{1}, \alpha _{2},\ldots,\alpha _{n}\) be real numbers. Then
Lemma 2
Let \(\alpha _{1}, \alpha _{2},\ldots,\alpha _{n}\) be real numbers. Then
Lemma 3
Let \(0\leq j< n_{s}M_{s}\) and \(0\leq n_{s}< m_{s}\). Then
We also need the following new nemmas of independent interest.
Lemma 4
Let f belong to \(L^{p} ( G_{m}^{2} ) \) for some \(p \in [ 1,\infty ] \). Then, for every \(\alpha \in ( 0,1 ) \), we have the inequality
where \(M_{k}\leq n< M_{k+1}\).
Lemma 5
Let \(\alpha \in ( 0,1 ) \) and \(p=M_{k},M_{k}+1,\ldots \) . Then
Lemma 6
We have the inequality
3 The detailed proofs
Proof of Lemma 3
Applying Abel’s transformation, from (2) we get
where the first and second terms on the right side of inequality (5) are denoted by \(I_{1}\) and \(I_{2}\), respectively.
For \(I_{2}\), we have the estimate
where the first, second, and third terms on the right side of inequality (6) are denoted by \(I_{21}\), \(I_{22}\), and \(I_{23}\), respectively.
It is evident that
Hence
Moreover, by the generalized Minkowski inequality, Lemma 2, and by (1) and (4) we obtain
The estimation of \(I_{23}\) is analogous to that of \(I_{21}\):
Analogously, we can estimate \(I_{1}\) as follows:
By combining (7)–(9) with (10) for I we find that
The proof of Lemma 3 is complete. □
Proof of Lemma 4
It is evident that
where the first and second terms on the right side of inequality (12) are denoted by \(\mathit{II}_{1}\) and \(\mathit{II}_{2}\), respectively.
From (1) by \(\vert A_{p-M_{k}}^{-\alpha -1} \vert \leq 1\) we get that
Moreover, by Lemma 3 we have that
where the first, second, third, and fourth terms on the right side of inequality (14) are denoted by \(\mathit{II}_{11}\), \(\mathit{II}_{12}\), \(\mathit{II}_{13}\), and \(\mathit{II}_{14}\) respectively.
From (1) and (4) it follows that
By Applying Abel’s transformation, in view of Lemma 2, we have that
The estimation of \(\mathit{II}_{12}\) and \(\mathit{II}_{13}\) are analogous to the estimation of \(\mathit{II}_{11}\). Applying Abel’s transformation, in view of Lemma 1, we find that
and
The proof is complete by combining (12)–(18). □
Proof of Lemma 5
Let
Denote
Since (see [20])
we find that
where the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth terms on the right side of inequality (20) are denoted by \(\mathit{III}_{1}\), \(\mathit{III}_{2}\), \(\mathit{III}_{3}\), \(\mathit{III}_{4}\), and \(\mathit{III}_{5}\), respectively.
By (1) we have that
Moreover, since (see [24])
for \(\mathit{III}_{4}\), we get that
Analogously, we find that
For \(r\in \{0,\ldots m_{A}-1\}\) and \(0\leq j< M_{A}\) (see [20]), this yields that
Thus we have
On the other hand, by (1) and (4) we obtain that
Consequently, for \(\mathit{III}_{1}\), we have the estimate
where the first, second, third, and fourth terms on the right side of inequality (25) are denoted by \(\mathit{III}_{11}\), \(\mathit{III}_{12} \), \(\mathit{III}_{13}\), and \(\mathit{III}_{14}\), respectively.
From Lemma 4 we have that
The estimation of \(\mathit{III}_{11}\) is analogous to that of \(\mathit{III}_{3}\), and we find that
The estimation of \(\mathit{III}_{12}\) and \(\mathit{III}_{13}\) is analogous to that of \(\mathit{III}_{4}\), and we obtain that
and
After substituting (21) and (23)–(29) into (20), we conclude that
The proof is complete. □
Now we are ready to prove the main results.
Proof of Theorem 1
It is evident that
From Lemma 5 it follows that
Moreover, for II, we have the estimate
where the first and second terms on the right side of inequality (32) are denoted by \(\mathit{II}_{1}\) and \(\mathit{II}_{2}\), respectively.
In view of the generalized Minkowski inequality, by (4) and Lemma 5 we get that
The estimation of \(\mathit{II}_{2}\) is analogous to that of \(\mathit{II}_{1}\), and we find that
Combining (30)–(34), we obtain the proof of Theorem 1. □
Proof of Theorem 2
It is evident that
where the first, second, and third terms on the right side of inequality (35) are denoted by I, II, and III, respectively.
From Lemma 4 it follows that
Next, we repeat the arguments just in the same way as in the proof of Theorem 1 and find that
On the other hand, for III, we have
where the first, second, and third terms on the right side of inequality (38) are denoted by \(\mathit{III}_{1}\), \(\mathit{III}_{2}\), and \(\mathit{III}_{3}\), respectively.
It is easy to show that
By the generalized Minkowski inequality and Lemma 5, for \(\mathit{III}_{1}\), we obtain that
The estimation of \(\mathit{III}_{3}\) is analogous to that of \(\mathit{III}_{2}\), and we find that
After substituting (36)–(37) and (41) into (35), we obtain the proof of Theorem 2. □
