Abstract:
For a badly approximable vector $\alpha$, we obtain a sharp estimate for the
rate of convergence in the space $L_p$ ($0<p<\infty$) of the Birkhoff means
$\frac1{n}\sum_{s=0}^{n-1} f(x+s\alpha)$ for an absolutely continuous periodic
function $f$ and for functions in spaces of Bessel potentials.
