Ces\`{a}ro means of subsequences of partial sums of trigonometric Fourier series

Abstract

In 1936 Zygmunt Zalcwasser asked with respect to the trigonometric system that how "rare" can a sequence of strictly monotone increasing integers $(n_j)$ be such that the almost everywhere relation $\frac{1}{N}\sum_{j=1}^N S_{n_j}f \to f$ is fulfilled for each integrable function $f$. In this paper, we give an answer to this question. It follows from the main result that this a.e. relation holds for every integrable function $f$ and lacunary sequence $(n_j)$ of natural numbers.
