Abstract

Let G be an arbitrary locally compact abelian group. It is the purpose of the present paper to establish saturation theorems for approximation processes generated by families (μt)t > 0 of complex bounded Radon measures on G and operating on a submodule of the Banach module Lp(G), Lp(G), over the convolution algebra

. A basic tool is the Fourier transform method and, in the case p>1 for noncompact G, its interpretation in the context of the theory of quasimeasures on G.
