One of the arithmetic means of the partial sums of a Fourier series in the trigonometric system

where and are the Fourier coefficients of the function .

If is continuous, then converges uniformly to ; converges to in the metric of .

If belongs to the class of functions that satisfy a Lipschitz condition of order , then

that is, in this case the Fejér sum approximates at the rate of the best approximating functions of the indicated class. But Fejér sums cannot provide a high rate of approximation: The estimate

is valid only for constant functions.

Fejér sums were introduced by L. Fejér [1].
