Abstract:
S. A. Vinogradov's method is adapted to prove for certain orthogonal product systems the analogue of his inequality concerning the trigonometric system. For example, for the Walsh system $W=\{w_n\}$ the following holds. Let $U(W)$ be the space of functions with a uniformly convergent Walsh–Fourier series. Then, for every functional $F$ on $U(W)$ we have the inequality
$$ \operatorname{mes}\Bigl\{\sup_N\Bigl|\sum_{n\le2N}F(w_n)w_n\Bigr|>\lambda\Bigr\}\le\mathrm{const}\,\lambda^{-1}\|F\|_{U(W)^*}.$$
