AbstractA trigonometric series has “small gaps” if the difference of the orders of successive terms is bounded below by a number exceeding one. Wiener, Ingham and others have shown that if a function represented by such a series exhibits a certain behavior on a large enough subinterval I, this will have consequences for the behavior of the function on the whole circle group. Here we show that the assumption that f is in any one of various classes of functions of generalized bounded variation on I implies that the appropriate order condition holds for the magnitude of the Fourier coefficients. A generalized bounded variation condition coupled with a Zygmundtype condition on the modulus of continuity of the restriction of the function to I implies absolute convergence of the Fourier series.

ABSTRACTThe first 2N + 1 Fourier coefficients of an unknown, non-negative function f(θ) are given, and it is required to find bounds for ∫Ef(θ) dθ, where E is some given region of integration. We also wish to find the interval E for which the bounds are most strict, when the width of E is specified. f(θ) may represent a distribution of energy in the interval 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π; the object is to determine where the energy is chiefly located.In the present paper we show that if the energy is located mainly in the neighbourhood of not more than M distinct points, significant lower bounds for ∫Ef(θ) dθ can be found in terms of the first 2M + 1 Fourier coefficients. The effectiveness of the method is illustrated by applying the inequalities to some known functions.The results have application in determining the direction of propagation of ocean waves and other forms of energy.
