Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2013, Article number: 440 (2013)
Abstract
Recently, Lal (Appl. Math. Comput. 209:346-350, 2009) has determined the degree of approximation of a function belonging to Lipα and weighted -classes using product summability with non-increasing weights . In this paper, we determine the degree of approximation of function , conjugate to a 2π-periodic function f belonging to weighted -class by dropping the monotonicity on the generating sequence with a new (proper) set of conditions, which in turn generalizes the results of Mishra et al. (Bull. Math. Anal. Appl., 2013) on -class and rectifies (removes) the errors of Mishra et al. (Mat. Vesn., 2013). Few examples and applications are also highlighted in this manuscript.

1 Introduction
Approximation by trigonometric polynomials is at the heart of approximation theory. The most important trigonometric polynomials used in the approximation theory are obtained by linear summation methods of Fourier series of 2π-periodic functions on the real line (i.e., Cesàro means, Nörlund means and Product Cesàro-Nörlund means, etc.). Much of the advance in the theory of trigonometric approximation is due to the periodicity of the functions. The method of summability considered here was first introduced by Woronoi [1]. Summability techniques were also applied on some engineering problems like, Chen and Jeng [2] implemented the Cesàro sum of order and , in order to accelerate the convergence rate to deal with the Gibbs phenomenon, for the dynamic response of a finite elastic body subjected to boundary traction. Chen et al. [3] applied regularization with Cesàro sum technique for the derivative of the double layer potential. Similarly, Chen and Hong [4] used Cesàro sum regularization technique for hyper singularity of dual integral equation. The degree of approximation of functions belonging to Lipα, , and ()-classes by Nörlund () matrices and general summability matrices has been proved by various investigators like Govil [5], Khan [6], Qureshi [7], Mohapatra and Chandra [8], Leindler [9], Rhoades et al. [10], Guven and Israfilov [11], Bhardwaj and Gupta [12] and Mishra et al. [13–20]. Here, Lal [21] has assumed monotonicity on the generating sequence to prove their theorems. The approximation of function , conjugate to a periodic function () using product -summability has not been studied so far. In this paper, we obtain a new theorem on the degree of approximation of function , conjugate to a periodic function -class using semi-monotonicity on the generating sequence and a proper set of the conditions.
A bidiagonal matrix is a matrix with non-zero entries along the main diagonal and either the diagonal above or the diagonal below. This means there are exactly two non-zero diagonals in the matrix.
When the diagonal above the main diagonal has the non-zero entries, the matrix is upper bidiagonal. When the diagonal below the main diagonal has the non-zero entries, the matrix is lower bidiagonal.
For example, the following matrix is upper bidiagonal:
and the following matrix is lower bidiagonal:
Let be a given infinite series with the sequence of n th partial sums . Let be a non-negative sequence of constants, real or complex, and let us write
The sequence to sequence transformation defines the sequence of Nörlund means of the sequence , generated by the sequence of coefficients . The series is said to be summable to the sum s if exists and is equal to s. In the special case in which
The Nörlund summability reduces to the familiar summability.
The product of summability with an summability defines summability. Thus, the mean is given by . If as , then the infinite series or the sequence is said to be summable to the sum s if exists and is equal to s.
Let be a 2π-periodic function and Lebesgue integrable. The Fourier series of is given by

Abel’s transformation: The formula

If are non-negative and non-increasing, the left-hand side of (1.3) does not exceed in absolute value. In fact,
We write throughout
, where τ denotes the greatest integer not exceeding . Furthermore, C denotes an absolute positive constant, not necessarily the same at each occurrence.
We note that the series, conjugate to a Fourier series, is not necessarily a Fourier series. Hence a separate study of conjugate series is desirable and attracted the attention of researchers.
2 Known theorem

Remark 2.3 There is a fatal error in the proof of Theorem 2.1 of Lal [[21], p.349], in calculating
note that . Therefore, one has , which need not be , since ϵ might be for some .
3 Main theorem
It is well known that the theory of approximations, i.e., TFA, which originated from a well-known theorem of Weierstrass, has become an exciting interdisciplinary field of study for the last 130 years. These approximations have assumed important new dimensions due to their wide applications in signal analysis [23], in general and in digital signal processing [24] in particular, in view of the classical Shannon sampling theorem. Mittal et al. [25, 26] have obtained many interesting results on TFA using summability methods without monotonicity on the rows of the matrix T: a digital filter. Broadly speaking, signals are treated as functions of one variable, and images are represented by functions of two variables. Very recently, Mishra et al. [13, 18] obtained the degree of approximation of conjugate of a function using product summability method of its conjugate series of its Fourier series in Lipschitz and weighted spaces, respectively. Therefore, the purpose of the present paper is to generalize the results of Mishra et al. [13] on the degree of approximation of a function , conjugate to a 2π-periodic function f belonging to weighted -class by means of conjugate series of its Fourier series by dropping the monotonicity condition on the generating sequence with the help of a new (proper) set of conditions to rectify the errors of Mishra et al. [18]. More precisely, we state our main theorem as follows.
Theorem 3.1 If , conjugate to a 2π-periodic function f belonging to -class, then its degree of approximation by means of conjugate series of Fourier series (1.2) is given by
provided satisfies
and satisfies the following conditions:
where δ is an arbitrary number such that , , , conditions (3.4) and (3.5) hold uniformly in x.
Note 3.2 , for .
Note 3.3 Condition , [27].
Note 3.4 The product transform plays an important role in signal theory as a double digital filter [14] and theory of machines in mechanical engineering [14].

This completes the proof of Theorem 3.1.
6 Applications
The theory of approximation is a very extensive field, which has various applications. As mentioned in [24], the Lp-space in general and and in particular play an important role in the theory of signals and filters. From the point of view of the applications, the Sharper estimates of infinite matrices are useful to get bounds for the lattice norms (which occur in solid state physics) of matrix-valued functions and enable to investigate perturbations of matrix-valued functions and compare them. Some interesting applications of the Cesàro summability can be seen in [2–4]. The following corollaries can be derived from Theorem 3.1.
Corollary 1 If , then the generalized weighted Lipschitz ()-class reduces to the class , and the degree of approximation of a function , conjugate to a 2π-periodic function f belonging to the class , is given by

Examples (i) From Theorem 20 of Hardy’s ‘Divergent Series,’ if a Nörlund method has increasing weights , then it is stronger than .
Therefore, there is an easy way to find a sequence that is summable, but not convergent. One such sequence is

We know already that sums the sequence . We will now show that CN is stronger than C, for any regular Nörlund matrix (with non-negative generating sequence).
The statement CN is stronger than C is equivalent to showing that the matrix is regular.

7 Conclusion
Various results concerning the degree of approximation of periodic signals (functions) belonging to the generalized weighted class by matrix operator have been reviewed, and the condition of monotonicity on the weights has been relaxed (i.e., weakening the conditions on the filter, we improve the quality of digital filter). Further, a proper (correct) set of conditions has been discussed to rectify the errors pointed out in Remarks 2.2 and 2.3. Some interesting application of the operator used in this paper is pointed out in Note 3.4. The theorem of this paper is an attempt to formulate the problem of approximation of the function , conjugate to a periodic function ()-class through trigonometric polynomials generated by the product summability -transform of conjugate series of Fourier series of f in a simpler manner by dropping monotonicity on the generating sequence with the help of proper (new) set of conditions. Few applications and examples on product summability -transform of signals (functions) are also discussed in this manuscript.
