It was first pointed out by Fine (2), that the Walsh functions are essentially the characters of a certain compact abelian group, namely the countable direct product of groups of order two. Later Chrestenson (1) considered characters of the direct product of cyclic groups of order α (α = 2, 3, …). In general, his results show that the analytic properties of these generalized Walsh functions are basically the same as those of the ordinary Walsh functions.
