Q16 Sequences and Series Limit Evaluation Involving Sequences View
Throughout the third part, $f \in \mathcal{C}_{0}$ satisfies property $(\mathcal{P}_{1})$: there exist $x_{0} \in [0,1]$, $s \in ]0,1[$ and $c_{1} \in ]0, +\infty[$, such that for all $(j, k) \in \mathcal{I}$, $$|c_{j,k}(f)| \leq c_{1} (2^{-j} + |k 2^{-j} - x_{0}|)^{s}$$ We fix $x_{0}$, $s$, $c_{1}$ and $x \in [0,1] \backslash \{x_{0}\}$. Let $n_{0}$ be the unique natural integer such that $2^{-n_{0}-1} < |x - x_{0}| \leq 2^{-n_{0}}$. We suppose that $\|f\|_{\infty} = 1$.
Show that there exists a unique $n_{1} \in \mathbf{N}$ such that $\omega_{f}(2^{-n_{1}-1}) < 2^{-n_{0} s} \leq \omega_{f}(2^{-n_{1}})$.

Throughout the third part, $f \in \mathcal{C}_{0}$ satisfies property $(\mathcal{P}_{1})$: there exist $x_{0} \in [0,1]$, $s \in ]0,1[$ and $c_{1} \in ]0, +\infty[$, such that for all $(j, k) \in \mathcal{I}$, $$|c_{j,k}(f)| \leq c_{1} (2^{-j} + |k 2^{-j} - x_{0}|)^{s}$$ We fix $x_{0}$, $s$, $c_{1}$ and $x \in [0,1] \backslash \{x_{0}\}$. Let $n_{0}$ be the unique natural integer such that $2^{-n_{0}-1} < |x - x_{0}| \leq 2^{-n_{0}}$, and $n_{1}$ the unique natural integer such that $\omega_{f}(2^{-n_{1}-1}) < 2^{-n_{0} s} \leq \omega_{f}(2^{-n_{1}})$.
Show that for all $n \geq n_{1}$, we have $$\|f - S_{n} f\|_{\infty} \leq 2^{s+1} |x - x_{0}|^{s}$$ One may use the results of questions 9a and 9c.

Throughout the third part, $f \in \mathcal{C}_{0}$ satisfies property $(\mathcal{P}_{1})$: there exist $x_{0} \in [0,1]$, $s \in ]0,1[$ and $c_{1} \in ]0, +\infty[$, such that for all $(j, k) \in \mathcal{I}$, $$|c_{j,k}(f)| \leq c_{1} (2^{-j} + |k 2^{-j} - x_{0}|)^{s}$$ We fix $x_{0}$, $s$, $c_{1}$ and $x \in [0,1] \backslash \{x_{0}\}$. Let $n_{0}$ be the unique natural integer such that $2^{-n_{0}-1} < |x - x_{0}| \leq 2^{-n_{0}}$, and $n_{1}$ the unique natural integer such that $\omega_{f}(2^{-n_{1}-1}) < 2^{-n_{0} s} \leq \omega_{f}(2^{-n_{1}})$.
Show that when $n_{0} < n_{1}$, we have $$\sum_{j=n_{0}+1}^{n_{1}} \sum_{k \in \mathcal{T}_{j}} |c_{j,k}(f)| |\theta_{j,k}(x)| \leq c_{1} 3^{s} (n_{1} - n_{0}) |x - x_{0}|^{s} .$$

Throughout the third part, $f \in \mathcal{C}_{0}$ satisfies property $(\mathcal{P}_{1})$: there exist $x_{0} \in [0,1]$, $s \in ]0,1[$ and $c_{1} \in ]0, +\infty[$, such that for all $(j, k) \in \mathcal{I}$, $$|c_{j,k}(f)| \leq c_{1} (2^{-j} + |k 2^{-j} - x_{0}|)^{s}$$ We fix $x_{0}$, $s$, $c_{1}$ and $x \in [0,1] \backslash \{x_{0}\}$. We suppose furthermore that the function $\omega_{f}$ satisfies property $(\mathcal{P}_{2})$: for all integer $N \geq 1$, there exists a real number $c_{4}(N) > 0$, such that for all $h \in ]0,1]$, $$\omega_{f}(h) \leq c_{4}(N) (1 + |\log_{2} h|)^{-N}$$ For all integer $N \geq 1$, we set $c_{5}(N) = 3^{s} c_{1} (c_{4}(N))^{1/N}$. Show that $$n_{1} - n_{0} \leq n_{1} + 1 \leq \left(\frac{c_{4}(N)}{\omega_{f}(2^{-n_{1}})}\right)^{\frac{1}{N}}$$ and deduce $$\sum_{j=n_{0}+1}^{n_{1}} \sum_{k \in \mathcal{T}_{j}} |c_{j,k}(f)| |\theta_{j,k}(x)| \leq c_{5}(N) |x - x_{0}|^{(1 - \frac{1}{N})s}$$

Throughout the third part, $f \in \mathcal{C}_{0}$ satisfies property $(\mathcal{P}_{1})$: there exist $x_{0} \in [0,1]$, $s \in ]0,1[$ and $c_{1} \in ]0, +\infty[$, such that for all $(j, k) \in \mathcal{I}$, $$|c_{j,k}(f)| \leq c_{1} (2^{-j} + |k 2^{-j} - x_{0}|)^{s}$$ We suppose furthermore that $\omega_{f}$ satisfies property $(\mathcal{P}_{2})$: for all integer $N \geq 1$, there exists $c_{4}(N) > 0$ such that for all $h \in ]0,1]$, $\omega_{f}(h) \leq c_{4}(N)(1 + |\log_{2} h|)^{-N}$.
Deduce from the above that $\alpha_{f}(x_{0}) \geq s$.
One may distinguish the cases $n_{0} \geq n_{1}$ and $n_{0} < n_{1}$.
