Abstract
Various investigators such as Khan [3], Qureshi [8–10], Qureshi and Nema [11], Leindler [6] and Chandra [1] have determined the degree of approximation of functions belonging to the classes \( W(L^{r},\xi (t)), Lip (\xi (t), r), Lip (\alpha , r)\) and \(Lip \alpha \) using different summability methods with monotonocity conditions. Recently, Lal [5] has determined the degree of approximation of the functions belonging to \(Lip \alpha \) and \(W(L^{r},\xi (t))\) classes by using Cesàro-Nörlund \((C^{1}\cdot N_{p})\)—summability with non-increasing weights \(\{p_{n}\}\). In this paper, we shall determine the degree of approximation of 2\(\pi \)-periodic function f belonging to the function classes \(Lip\alpha \) and \(W(L^{r},\xi (t))\) by \( C^{1}\cdot T\)—means of Fourier series of f. Our theorems generalize the results of Lal [5], and we also improve these results in the light of [7, 12, 13]. From our results, we derive some corollaries also.

1 Introduction
For a given signal \(f \in L^{r}: = L^{r} [0,2\pi ], r \ge 1,\) let
denote the partial sums, called trigonometric polynomial of degree (or order) n, of the first \((n+1)\) terms of the Fourier series of f. The matrix means of (1) are defined by
where \(T\equiv (a_{n,k})\) is a lower triangular matrix with non-negative entries such that \(a_{n,-1}=0, A_{n,k}=\sum _{r=k}^{n}a_{n,r}\) so that \(A_{n,0}=1, \forall n\ge 0.\) The Fourier series of f is said to be T-summable to s, if \(t_{n}(f) \rightarrow s\) as \(n \rightarrow \infty .\)
By superimposing \(C^{1}\) summability upon T summability, we get the \(C^{1}\cdot T\) summability. Thus the \(C^{1}\cdot T\) means of \(\{s_{n}(f)\}\) denoted by \(t_{n}^{C^{1}\cdot T}(f)\) are given by
If \(t_{n}^{C^{1}\cdot T}\rightarrow s_{1}\) as \(n\rightarrow \infty \), then the Fourier series of f is said to be \({C^{1}\cdot T}\)—summable to the sum \(s_{1}.\) The regularity of methods \(C^{1}\) and T implies regularity of method \(C^{1}\cdot T.\)
A function \( f \in Lip \alpha \) if \(|f(x\,+\,t)-f(x)|=O(|t|^{\alpha }) \), for \( 0< \alpha \le 1,\) \( f \in Lip (\alpha , r)\) if \(\left( \int _{0}^{2 \pi } | f(x\,+\,t)-f(x)| ^{r} dx\right) ^{1/r}=O(|t|^{\alpha }), 0<\alpha \le 1, r\ge 1,\)
\( f \in Lip (\xi (t), r)\) if \(\left( \int _{0}^{2 \pi } | f(x\,+\,t)-f(x)| ^{r} dx\right) ^{1/r}=O(\xi (t))\) and
\( f \in W(L^{r}, \xi (t))\) if \(\left( \int _{0}^{2 \pi } | (f(x+t)-f(x))\sin ^{\beta }(x/2)|^{r} dx\right) ^{1/r}=O(\xi (t)), \,\,\)
\(\beta \ge 0, r \ge 1,\) where \(\xi (t)\) is a positive increasing function of t.
If \(\beta =0, \,W(L^{r},\xi (t),) \equiv Lip (\xi (t), r)\) and for \(\xi (t)=t^{\alpha } (\alpha >0), Lip(\xi (t),r)\equiv Lip (\alpha , r).\) \(Lip (\alpha , r)\rightarrow Lip \alpha \) as \(r\rightarrow \infty .\) Thus
The \(L^{r}\)-norm of \(f\in L^{r}[0,2\pi ]\) is defined by
\(\,\,\,\,\, \Vert f \Vert _{r} = \left\{ \frac{1}{2 \pi }\int _{0}^{2 \pi } |f(x)| ^{r} dx \right\} ^{1/r}\) \( (1 \le r < \infty ) \) and \(\Vert f \Vert _{\infty } = \displaystyle \sup _{x\in [0,2\pi ]} |f(x)|. \)
The degree of approximation of \(f\in L^{r}\) denoted by \(E_{n}(f)\) is given by
in terms of n , where \(T_{n}(x)\) is a trigonometric polynomial of degree n.
This method of approximation is called trigonometric Fourier approximation.
We also write
and \(\tau =[1/t],\) the integral part of 1 / t.
2 Known Results
Various investigators such as Khan [3], Qureshi [8–10], Qureshi and Nema [11], Leindler [6] and Chandra [1] have determined the degree of approximation of functions belonging to the classes \( W(L^{r},\xi (t)), Lip (\xi (t), r), Lip (\alpha , r)\) and \(Lip \alpha \) with \(r\ge 1\) and \(0<\alpha \le 1\) using different summability methods with monotonocity conditions on the rows of summability matrices. Recently, Lal [5] has determined the degree of approximation of the functions belonging to \(Lip \alpha \) and \(W(L^{r},\xi (t))\) classes by using Cesáro-Nörlund \((C^{1}\cdot N_{p})\)—summability with non-increasing weights \(\{p_{n}\}\). He proved:
Theorem 1
Let \(N_{p}\) be a regular Nörlund method defined by a sequence \(\{p_{n}\}\) such that
Let \(f \in L^{1}[0,2\pi ]\) be a \(2\pi \)-periodic function belonging to \(Lip\, \alpha \,(0 < \alpha \le 1), \) then the degree of approximation of f by \(C^{1}\cdot N_{p}\) means of its Fourier series is given by
Theorem 2
If f is a \(2\pi \)-periodic function and Lebesgue integrable on \([0,2\pi ]\) and is belonging to \(W(L^{r},\xi (t))\) class then its degree of approximation by \(C^{1}\cdot N_{p}\) means of its Fourier series is given by
provided \(\xi (t)\) satisfies the following conditions:
where \(\delta \) is an arbitrary number such that \(s(1-\delta )-1>0, r^{-1}+ s^{-1}=1, r\ge 1, \) conditions (4) and (5) hold uniformly in x.
The improved version of above theorems with their generalization to non-monotone weights \(\{p_{n}\}\) can be seen in [13].
3 Main Results
In this paper, we generalize Theorems 1 and 2 by replacing matrix \(N_{p}\) with matrix T in the light of Remarks 2.3 and 2.4 of [13, pp. 3–4]. More precisely, we prove:
Theorem 3
If \(T\equiv (a_{n,k})\) is a lower triangular regular matrix with non-negative and non-decreasing (with respect to k) entries which satisfy
hold uniformly in \(\tau =[1/t],\) then the degree of approximation of a \(2\pi \)-periodic function \( f \in Lip \alpha \) \((0<\alpha \le 1)\subset L^{1}[0,2\pi ]\) by \(C^{1}\cdot T\) means of its Fourier series is given by
Theorem 4
If \(T\equiv (a_{n,k})\) be a lower triangular regular matrix with non-negative and non-decreasing (with respect to k) entries which satisfy condition (6), then the degree of approximation of a \(2\pi \)-periodic function with \(r>1\) and \( 0<\beta \, s<1\) by \(C^{1}\cdot T\) means of its Fourier series is given by
provided positive increasing function \(\xi (t)\) satisfies the conditions:
where \(\delta \) is a real number such that \(\beta +1/r>\delta >r^{-1}, r^{-1}+ s^{-1}=1,\) \(r> 1.\) Also, conditions (10) and (11) hold uniformly in x.
Remark 1
If we take \(a_{n,k}=p_{n-k}/P_{n}\) for \(k\le n\) and \(a_{n,k}=0\) for \(k > n\) such that \(P_{n}(= \sum _{k=0}^{n}p_{k}\ne 0)\rightarrow \infty \) as \(n\rightarrow \infty \) and \(P_{-1} = 0 = p_{-1}\), then \(C^{1}\cdot T\) means reduce to \(C^{1}\cdot N_{p}\) means and
Therefore, condition (6) reduces to condition (2) and \(t_{n}^{C^{1}\cdot T}\) means reduce to \(t_{n}^{CN} means.\) Hence our Theorems 3 and 4 are generalization of Theorems 1 and 2, respectively.
4 Lemmas
We need the following lemmas for the proof of our theorems.
Lemma 1
Let \(\{a_{r,k}\}\) be a non-negative sequence of real numbers, then
Proof
Using \(\sin nt \le nt \) and \(\sin (t/2) \ge t/ \pi \) for \( 0< t \le \pi /(n+1),\) we have
Lemma 2
[4] If \(\{a_{r,k}\}\) is a non-negative and non-decreasing (with respect to k) sequence, then for \( 0\le a<b\le \infty ,\) \( 0 < t\le \pi \) and for every r
Lemma 3
If \(\{a_{r,k}\}\) is non-negative and non-decreasing (with respect to k) sequence, then for \(0 < t \le \pi \)
holds uniformly in \(\tau =[1/t].\)
Proof
For \( 0 < t \le \pi ,\) we have
in view of Lemma 2.
Lemma 4
If \(\{a_{r,k}\}\) is non-negative and non-decreasing (with respect to k) sequence and satisfies the condition (6), then
Proof
Using \(\sin (t/2) \ge t/ \pi \), for \( \pi /(n+1) < t \le \pi \) and Lemma 3, we have
in view of condition (6).
5 Proof of Theorem 3
Following Titchmarsh [14], we have
Denoting \(C^{1}\cdot T\) means of \(\{s_{n}(f;x)\}\) by \(t_{n}^{C^{1}\cdot T}(f),\) we write
Using Lemma 1 and the fact that \(f \in Lip \,\alpha \Rightarrow \phi \in Lip\,\alpha \) {[2], Lemma 5.27}, we have
Now, using Lemma 4 and the fact that \( f \in Lip \,\alpha \Rightarrow \phi \in Lip\, \alpha ,\)
where
and
Thus
6 Proof of Theorem 4
Following the proof of Theorem 3,
Using Hölder’s inequality, \(\phi (t) \in W(L^{r},\xi (t)),\) condition (10), Lemma 1 and mean value theorem for integrals, we have
in view of condition (9), i.e. \((\xi (\pi /(n\,+\,1))/(\pi /(n\,+\,1))) \le (\xi ( 1/(n\,+\,1))/(1/(n\,+\,1))). \)
Using Lemma 4, we have
Using Hölder’s inequality, \(| \sin t| \le 1,\, \sin (t/2) \ge (t/\pi )\) and condition (11), we have
in view of decreasing nature of \( \xi (t)/t\) and \(r^{-1}+s^{-1}=1.\)
Similarly, as above, we have
Hence,
Remark 2
The proof of Theorem 3, for \(r=1,\) i.e. \(s=\infty \) can be written by using sup norm while using Hölder’s inequality.
7 Corollaries
The following corollaries can be derived from Theorem 4
1. If \(\beta =0\) , then for \(f\in Lip (\xi (t),r), \Vert t_{n}^{C^{1}\cdot T}(f) - f(x)\Vert _{r} = O \left( \xi (1/n)\right) .\)
2. If \(\beta =0, \xi (t)=t^{\alpha }(0 < \alpha \le 1),\) then for \(f \in Lip(\alpha ,r)(\alpha > 1/r),\)
3. If \( r\rightarrow \infty \) in Corollary 2, then for \(f\in Lip \alpha (0 < \alpha < 1),\) (22) gives
Remark 3
In view of Remark 2, corollaries of Lal [5, p. 350] are particular cases of our Corollaries 2 and 3, respectively.
