Abstract
In this paper, we give a characterization of Nikol'ski\u{\i}-Besov type classes of functions, given by integral representations of moduli of smoothness, in terms of series over the moduli of smoothness. Also, necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of monotone or lacunary Fourier coefficients for a function to belong to a such a class are given. In order to prove our results, we make use of certain recent reverse Copson- and Leindler-type inequalities.

Also, necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of monotone or lacunary Fourier coefficients for a function to belong to a such a class are given. In order to prove our results, we make use of certain recent reverse Copson- and Leindler-type inequalities.

1. Introduction
Let 111The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest regarding the publication of this paper. , , be a -periodic function. We say that the function has monotone Fourier coefficients if it has a cosine Fourier series with
[TABLE]
We say that the function has lacunary Fourier coefficients if
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
that is
[TABLE]
By we denote the modulus of smoothness of order in metrics of a function , :

is the -th order shift operator.
By we denote the best approximation in metrics of a function , , by means of trigonometric polynomials whose degree is not greater than , i.e.

We say that a -periodic function belongs to the Nikol’skiĭ-Besov class , , if the following conditions are satisfied

where constants222Without mentioning it explicitly, we will consider all the constants positive. , and do not depend on , and .
A more detailed approach to the classes is given in [6] and [12] (see also [2]). In the paper, we give a characterization of classes of functions in terms of series over their moduli of smoothness. Then we give the necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of monotone or lacunary Fourier coefficients for a function to belong to a class . In the process of proving the results, we make use of certain recent reverse -type inequalities [10], closely related to Copson’s and Leindler’s inequalities.
Finally, by making use of our results, we construct an example of a function having a lacunary Fourier series, which shows that classes are properly embedded between the appropriate Nikol’skiĭ classes and Besov classes.
2. Statement of Results
Now we formulate our results.
Theorem 2.1**.**
A function belongs to the class if and only if333Here and below we assume that the parameters , , and satisfy the condition 2, and the function satisfies the conditions 4–6 of the definition of the class .
[TABLE]
where constant does not depend on .
Theorem 2.2**.**
For a function , , such that
[TABLE]
to belong to the class it is necessary and sufficient that its Fourier coefficients satisfy the condition
[TABLE]
where constant does not depend on .
Regarding Theorem 2.1, a very interesting open question remains its analogue for functions with general monotone Fourier coefficients, generalized in the sense of [13, 9].
Corollary 2.1**.**
Put , , in the definition of the class , we obtain [6] the Nikol’skiĭ class . Thus Theorems 2.1 and 2.2 give the single coefficient condition
[TABLE]
for , given in [5], where the function is given by (2).
Corollary 2.2**.**
If , then we obtain [6] the Besov class . Thus Theorems 2.1 and 2.2 give the necessary and sufficient condition
[TABLE]
for , given in [11], where the function is given by (2).
Theorem 2.3**.**
For a function , , such that
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
to belong to the class it is necessary and sufficient that its Fourier coefficients satisfy the condition444Here and below we assume that the parameters , , and satisfy the condition 2, and the function satisfies the conditions 4–6.
[TABLE]
where constant does not depend on .
Corollary 2.3**.**
Putting , , in the definition of the class , we obtain [6] the Nikol’skiĭ class . Thus Theorem 2.3 gives the single coefficient condition
[TABLE]
for , where the function is given by (3).
Corollary 2.4**.**
If , then we obtain [6] the Besov class . Thus Theorem 2.3 gives the necessary and sufficient condition
[TABLE]
for , given in [11], where the function is given by (3).

[TABLE]
and, taking into account properties of modulus of smoothness [15],
[TABLE]
In an analogous way we estimate
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Let . For a positive integer we put . Then we have
[TABLE]
Hence we obtain
[TABLE]
which proves inequality (1).
Now we suppose that inequality (1) holds. For we choose the positive integer satisfying . Then, taking into consideration the estimates from above for and we have
[TABLE]
Hence
[TABLE]
implying .
Proof of Theorem 2.1 is completed. ∎
Proof of Theorem 2.2.
Theorem 2.1 implies that the condition is equivalent to the condition
[TABLE]
where constant does not depend on . Lemma 3.5 yields that the last estimate is equivalent to the estimate
[TABLE]
where constant does not depend on . Hence, if we denote the terms on the left-hand side of the inequality by , , and respectively, then condition is equivalent to the condition
[TABLE]
Now we estimate the terms , , and from below and above by means of expression taking part in the condition of the theorem.
First we estimate and from below. We have
[TABLE]
For , making use of Lemmas 3.2 and 3.3 we obtain
[TABLE]
In an analogous way, for we get
[TABLE]
We estimate the term from above:
[TABLE]
For we have
[TABLE]
and applying once more Lemmas 3.2 and 3.3 we obtain
[TABLE]
Put
[TABLE]
Then for
[TABLE]
taking into account that and we get
[TABLE]
Since , we have
[TABLE]
Applying Lemma 3.4 we obtain
[TABLE]
From (8) it follows that
[TABLE]
This way, inequalities (5), (6), (7) and (9) yield
[TABLE]
Now we estimate and . Put
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
applying Lemma 3.4 for we get
[TABLE]
We estimate in an analogous way:
[TABLE]
We estimate the series
[TABLE]
First let . Applying Hölder inequality we have
[TABLE]
Since \bigl{(}rp-\frac{p}{\theta}+1\bigr{)}\frac{\theta}{\theta-p}=rp\frac{\theta}{\theta-p}+1>1, we get
[TABLE]
So, for we have proved that
[TABLE]
Let . For given we choose the positive integer such that . Then we have
[TABLE]
Making use of Lemma 3.1 we obtain
[TABLE]
Since for holds , we get
[TABLE]
This way, for we proved that
[TABLE]
Hence (12) yields
[TABLE]
Now, from (11) it follows that
[TABLE]
Further, we estimate the series
[TABLE]
where is
[TABLE]
Hence
[TABLE]
Making use of (14) and (13) we have
[TABLE]
Hence, applying (14) in (10) we obtain
[TABLE]
Now we estimate and from below. Making use of Lemma 3.4 we get
[TABLE]
and in an analogous way
[TABLE]
Hence
[TABLE]
This way the following inequality holds
[TABLE]
From (10) it follows that
[TABLE]
Since
[TABLE]
holds, we have
[TABLE]
Now, estimates (16) and (15) imply
[TABLE]
This way we proved that condition (1) is equivalent to the condition of the theorem. Since condition (1) is equivalent to the condition , proof of Theorem 2.2 is completed. ∎
Proof of Theorem 2.3.
Considering Lemma 3.6, condition is equivalent to the condition
[TABLE]
where constant does not depend on . Corollary 3.1 yields that the last estimate is equivalent to the estimate
[TABLE]
where constant does not depend on .
Put
[TABLE]

Let . Using Lemma 3.1, changing the order os summation we get
[TABLE]
Therefrom, taking into consideration that while computing the second sum we obtain
[TABLE]
Let and . Applying Hölder inequality we have
[TABLE]
where is . Computing the second sum we obtain
[TABLE]
Now we have
[TABLE]
This way, for we have
[TABLE]
where constant does not depend on .
Now we estimate from below.
Let . Making use of Lemma 3.1 we get
[TABLE]
Computing the second sum we get
[TABLE]
Let and . Applying Hölder inequality we have
[TABLE]
where is . The last estimate implies
[TABLE]
Changing the order of summation and then computing the second sum we obtain
[TABLE]

Consequently, for every the following estimate holds
[TABLE]
where constants and do not depend on .
Now we estimate . Obviously
[TABLE]
Let . Applying Lemma 3.1, changing the order of summation, and then computing the second sum we obtain
[TABLE]
Let and . Applying Hölder inequality we get
[TABLE]
where is . The last estimate implies
[TABLE]
Changing the order of summation and computing the second sum we have
[TABLE]
Thus, for every holds
[TABLE]
Now we estimate from above. Taking into consideration that , we have
[TABLE]
Since
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
Let . Applying Lemma 3.1 we obtain
[TABLE]
Let and . Then applying Hölder inequality we have
[TABLE]
where is . Using the last estimate we get
[TABLE]
Changing the order of summation and computing the second sum we obtain
[TABLE]
Therefore, for every the following estimate holds
[TABLE]
Now making use of inequalities (20) and (18) we have
[TABLE]
This way, inequalities (18), (19) and the last inequality imply the estimate
[TABLE]
where constants and do not depend on . Hence, considering the condition (17) we conclude that condition is equivalent to the condition
[TABLE]
where constant does not depend on .
We put
[TABLE]
For given we choose the positive integer such that .
First we consider the case . We have
[TABLE]
Since for , we get
[TABLE]
Further, since , we get
[TABLE]
Hence, for we obtain
[TABLE]
where constants and do not depend on and .
Let us assume now that . In an analogous way we have
[TABLE]
Thus, for the following estimate holds
[TABLE]
where constants and do not depend on and . Hence, considering the condition (21) we conclude that condition is equivalent to the condition
[TABLE]
where constant does not depend on and .
Since , we get
[TABLE]
where constant does not depend on and ; and since we get
[TABLE]
where constant does not depend on and . This way, condition (22) is equivalent to the condition
[TABLE]
where constant does not depend on .
This completes the proof of Theorem 2.3. ∎
