On a theorem of Paley and Wiener

Extract

The conjugate g of a periodic and integrable function f is not necessarily integrable, even when f is monotone inside its fundamental interval. Paley and Wiener, however, proved that g is integrable if f is monotone and odd. A simpler proof was given later by Zygmund‡.

* There is no special case of Theorem 1 corresponding to it exactly, since f (t) cannot be odd, increasing for all t, and integrable.

This is not exactly a case of the Paley-Wiener theorem, but becomes one if we consider (0, 2π) instead of (− π, π).
