Abstract

Denote the coefficients in the complex form of the Fourier series of a function f on the interval [-π, π) by f(n). It is known that if p = 2j/(2j-1) for some integer j>0, then for each function f in Lp there exists another function F in Lp that majorizes f in the sense that F(n) ≥ | f(n)| for all n, but that also satisfies ‖F‖p ≤ ‖f‖p. Rescaling F suitably then gives a majorant with the same Lp norm as f. We show how that majorant comes from a variant in L2j of the notion of exact majorant in L2.
