Almost everywhere convergence of Cesàro means of two variable Walsh – Fourier series with varying parameteres

UDC 517.5 We prove that the maximal operator of some means of cubical partial sums of two variable Walsh – Fourier series of integrable functions is of weak type . Moreover, the -means of the function converge a.e. to for , where is the Walsh group for some sequences .

The arithmetic of a semigroup of series of Walsh functions

Let be the classical system of the Walsh functions, the multiplicative semigroup of the functions represented by series of functions Wk(t)with non-negative coefficients which sum equals 1. We study the arithmetic of . The analogues of the well-known [ related to the arithmetic of the convolution semigroup of probability measures on the real line are valid in . The classes of idempotent elements, of infinitely divisible elements, of elements without indecomposable factors, and of elements without indecomposable and non-degenerate idempotent factors are completely described. We study also the class of indecomposable elements. Our method is based on the following fact: is isomorphic to the semigroup of probability measures on the groups of characters of the Cantor-Walsh group.
