A function
where is a given system of functions, orthonormal with respect to the Lebesgue measure on the interval , . Lebesgue functions are defined similarly in the case when an orthonormal system is specified on an arbitrary measure space. One has
where
is the -th partial sum of the Fourier series of with respect to . In the case when is the trigonometric system, the Lebesgue functions are constant and reduce to the Lebesgue constants. They were introduced by H. Lebesgue.
