We consider the group Ta, its group of characters Za, and an arbitrary order P on Za. For x ∊ Za, let sgnpx be 1, - 1 , or 0 according as x € P\{0}, x € (-P)\{0}, or X = 0. For f in Lp(Ta), 1 < p < ∞, it is known that there is a function in Lp(Ta) such that for all X in Za. Summability methods for are also available. In this paper, we obtain summability methods for that apply for in L1(Ta), and we show how various properties of can be derived from our construction.
