Abstract:

When f is a $2\pi$ periodic function with rth order fractional derivative, $r \geqslant 0$, of p-bounded variation, Golubov has obtained estimates of the degree of approximation of f, in the ${L^q}$ norm, $q > p$, by the partial sums of its Fourier series. Here we consider the analogous problem for functions whose fractional derivatives are of $\Phi$-bounded variation and obtain estimates of the degree of approximation in an Orlicz space norm. In a similar manner we shall extend various results that he obtained on degree of approximation in the sup norm.
