I am searching for some examples of complete families of functions $left phi_m(t) right_m = 1^infty$ on $t in [0, T]$ that form an absolutely convergent series:
$$
sum_m = 1^infty |phi_m(t)| < infty, ~~~~ t in [0, T].
$$
According to the Weierstrass M-test, $phi_m$ must satisfy
$$
|phi_m(t)| leq c_m, ~~ t in [0, T],
$$
such that
$$
sum_m = 1^infty c_m < infty.
$$
Any idea or references would be highly appreciated.

Do you work in the Hilbert space $L^2([0,T])$? What is the precise definition of a complete family?

According to the definition of complete system in the link provided, $phi_m$ must be an orthonormal system. This implies among other things that$int_0^T|phi_m|^2,dt=1$. Suppose that there is a constant $M>0$ such that
$$
|phi_m(t)|leq Mquadforall tin[0,T]quadtextandquad sum_m=1^inftyint_0^T|phi_m(t)|,dtleq M.
$$
This holds in particular if $|phi_m(t)|leq c_m$ with $sum_m=1^infty c_m<infty$. Then
$$
sum_m=1^infty|phi_m(t)|^2le Msum_m=1^infty|phi_m(t)|,quad0le tle T.
$$
Integrating we get $infty$ on the left hand side, and $M^2$ on the right hand side, a contradiction.
This shows that no such families exist.
In other words, there are complete families of $phi_m(t)$ that are bounded but their series is not absolutely convergent. That's clear. I am more interested in examples of $phi_m$ the series of which is absolutely convergent.

My question could be too primitive for you, but I am just trying to understand. My understanding of your answer, is that there might be a family $phi_m in L^1[0, T]$ whose series is not absolutely convergent. I agree with that. But since not every family $phi_m$ with $$ |phi_m(t)| leq c_m, ~~ sum_m = 1^infty c_m < infty, $$ satisfies $$ sum_m = 1^infty int_0^T |phi_m(t)| dt < infty, $$ I think we can't claim that such families do not exist at all.
