Abstract
LetG be a Vilenkin group (i.e., an infinite, compact, metrizable, zero-dimensional Abelian group). Our main result is a factorization theorem for functions in the Lipschitz spaces\(\mathfrak{L}\mathfrak{i}\mathfrak{p}\) (α,p; G). As colloraries of this theorem, we obtain (i) an extension of a factorization theorem ofY. Uno; (ii) a convolution formula which says that\(\mathfrak{L}\mathfrak{i}\mathfrak{p} (\alpha , r; G) = \mathfrak{L}\mathfrak{i}\mathfrak{p} (\beta , l; G)*\mathfrak{L}\mathfrak{i}\mathfrak{p} (\alpha - \beta , r; G)\) for 0<β<α<∞ and 1≤r≤∞; and (iii) an analogue, valid for allG, of a classical theorem ofHardy andLittlewood. We also present several results on absolute convergence of Fourier series defined onG, extending a theorem ofC. W. Onneweer and four results ofN. Ja. Vilenkin andA. I. Rubinshtein. The fourVilenkin-Rubinshtein results are analogues of classical theorems due, respectively, toO. Szász, S. B. Bernshtein, A. Zygmund, andG. G. Lorentz.
