I am indebted to Dr. Agata Boraty´ nska of Warsaw University for point- ing out an error in the proof of the Theorem in the above paper.
The formula C
1(ε) %
12as ε & 0 in the middle of page 365 should be replaced by
C
1(ε) % 1 2 − 1
2
2n n
1 2
2nas ε & 0.
As consequences, the inequality C
1(ε) >
12−
12 2nn 12
2nshould read C
1(ε) > 1
2 − 3 4
2n n
1 2
2nand the inequality C
2(ε) >
12 2nn 12
2nshould read C
2(ε) > 3

2n n

2n. The Theorem remains valid as stated.
