1.1. In the theorems which follow we are concerned with functionsf (x ) real for realx and integrable in the sense of Lebesgue. We do not, however, remain in the field of the real variable, for we suppose, in 4et seq ., thatf (x ), or a function associated withf (x ), is analytic, or, at any rate, harmonic, in a region of the complex plane associated with the particular real value ofx considered. The Fourier’s series considered are those associated with the interval (0, 2π). Ifa is a point of the interval, we writeϕ(u) = ½ {f (a +u ) +f (a -u ) - 2s } (0 <a < 2π), (1.11)ϕ(u) = ½ {f (u ) +f (2π -u ) - 2s } (a = 0,a = 2π), (1.12) wheres is a constant.
