A theorem on the almost-everywhere convergence of orthogonal series: If a system of functions is orthonormal on a segment and if

then the series

(*)

converges almost-everywhere on . This result has been proved independently by D.E. Men'shov [1] and H. Rademacher [2]. Men'shov showed also that this assertion is sharp in the following sense. If a monotone increasing sequence satisfies the condition , then one can find an orthogonal series (*), diverging everywhere, the coefficients of which satisfy the condition
