The problem of calculating the least upper bound

(*)

where the are trigonometric polynomials of order not exceeding , is the class of periodic functions whose -th derivative in the sense of Weyl (see Fractional integration and differentiation) satisfies the inequality , and . The Favard problem was posed by J. Favard [1]. Subsequently, broader classes of functions have been considered and a complete solution of the Favard problem for and arbitrary has been obtained as a corollary of more general results (see [2], [3]).
