The Walsh–Kaczmarz–Marcinkiewicz means and Hardy spaces

Abstract

It is known that the maximal operator \({\sigma^{\kappa,*}(f)} := sup_{n \in \mathbf{P}}{|{\sigma}_{n}^{\kappa} (f)|}\) is bounded from the dyadic Hardy space \({H_{p}}\) into the space \({L_{p}}\) for \({p > 2/3}\) [6]. Moreover, Goginava and Nagy showed that \({\sigma^{\kappa,*}}\) is not bounded from the Hardy space \({H_{2/3}}\) to the space \({L_{2/3}}\) [9]. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the case \({0 < p < 2/3}\). We show that the weighted maximal operator \({\tilde{\sigma}^{\kappa,*,p}(f) :=sup_{n\in \mathbf{P}} \frac{|{\sigma}_{n}^\kappa (f)|}{n^{2/p-3}}}\), is bounded from the Hardy space \({H_{p}}\) into the space \({L_{p}}\) for any \({0 < p < 2/3}\). With its aid we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of Walsh–Kaczmarz–Marcinkiewicz means in terms of modulus of continuity on the Hardy space \({H_p}\), and prove a strong convergence theorem for this means.
