| Nov 8, 2014 at 23:59 | comment | added | Alexandre Eremenko | You are absolutely right. The diagonal procedure was used for the "orders of infinity" type questions. But du Bois-Reymond also studied trig series, just an interesting coincidence:-) | |
| Nov 8, 2014 at 21:53 | comment | added | Andrés E. Caicedo | Also, the diagonal procedure arose in a setting unrelated to the study of trigonometric series. Here are some details. And here is a quote by Hardy that perhaps explains why du Bois-Reymond is not better known. | |
