Fourier majorants that match norms

Abstract

Denote the coefficients in the complex form of the Fourier series of a function ff on the interval [π,π)[-\pi, \pi) by f^(n)\hat f(n). It is known that if p=2j/(2j1)p = 2j/(2j-1) for some integer j>0j>0, then for each function ff in LpL^p there exists another function FF in LpL^p that majorizes ff in the sense that F^(n)f^(n)\hat F(n) \ge |\hat f(n)| for all nn, but that also satisfies Fpfp\|F\|_p \le \|f\|_p. Rescaling FF suitably then gives a majorant with the same LpL^p norm as ff. We show how that majorant comes from a variant in L2jL^{2j} of the notion of exact majorant in L2L^2.
