Abstract:

We obtain estimates for certain sums of Fourier-Stieltjes (and hence also Fourier) coefficients of continuous functions $f$ of bounded variation in terms of the modulus of continuity of $f$. As a consequence of one of our results we obtain an improvement on a theorem of Zygmund on the absolute convergence of Fourier series of functions of bounded variation. We also consider absolutely continuous functions and show by examples that a number of the results we obtain are "best possible".
