Hardy-Littlewood theorem

The Hardy–Littlewood theorem in the theory of functions of a complex variable: If , and if the power series

with radius of convergence 1 satisfies on the real axis the asymptotic equality

then the partial sums satisfy the asymptotic equality

This theorem was established by G.H. Hardy and J.E. Littlewood [1] and is one of the Tauberian theorems.

The Hardy–Littlewood theorem on a non-negative summable function. A theorem on integral properties of a certain function connected with the given one. It was established by G.H. Hardy and J.E. Littlewood [1]. Let be a non-negative summable function on , and let

Then:

1) If , , then

2) If , then for all ,

3) If , then

where depends only on . Here

Let be a -periodic function that is summable on , and let

Then , where is constructed for . From the theorem for one obtains integral inequalities for .
