On functions satisfying certain differential inequalities

The function , where is Lerch's transcendent, satisfies the following two-dimensional formally self- adjoint second-order hyperbolic differential equation: where . The corresponding differential expression determines a densely defined symmetric operator (the minimal operator) on the Hilbert space , where . We obtain a description of the domains of definition of some symmetric extensions of the minimal operator. We show that formal solutions of the eigenvalue problem for these symmetric extensions are represented by functional series whose structure resembles that of the Fourier series of . We discuss sufficient conditions for these formal solutions to be eigenfunctions of the resulting symmetric differential operators. We also demonstrate a close relationship between the spectral properties of these symmetric differential operators and the distribution of the zeros of some special analytic functions analogous to the Riemann zeta function.

We study orthogonal and symmetric operators in non-Archimedean Hilbert spaces in the connection with p-adic quantization. This quantization describes measurements with finite precision. Symmetric (bounded) operators in the p-adic Hilbert spaces represent physical observables. We study spectral properties of one of the most important quantum operators, namely, the operator of the position (which is represented in the p-adic Hilbert L2-space with respect to the p-adic Gaussian measure). Orthogonal isometric isomorphisms of p-adic Hilbert spaces preserve precisions of measurements. We study properties of orthogonal operators. It is proved that each orthogonal operator in the non-Archimedean Hilbert space is continuous. However, there exist discontinuous operators with the dense domain of definition which preserve the inner product. There also exist nonisometric orthogonal operators. We describe some classes of orthogonal isometric operators and we study some general questions of the theory of non-Archimedean Hilbert spaces (in particular, general connections between topology, norm and inner product).

It is well known that the conformable and the symmetric differential operators have formulas in terms of the first derivative. In this document, we combine the two definitions to get the symmetric conformable derivative operator (SCDO). The purpose of this effort is to provide a study of SCDO connected with the geometric function theory. These differential operators indicate a generalization of well known differential operator including the Sàlàgean differential operator. Our contribution is to impose two classes of symmetric differential operators in the open unit disk and to describe the further development of these operators by introducing convex linear symmetric operators. In addition, by acting these SCDOs on the class of univalent functions, we display a set of sub-classes of analytic functions having geometric representation, such as starlikeness and convexity properties. Investigations in this direction lead to some applications in the univalent function theory of well known formulas, by defining and studying some sub-classes of analytic functions type Janowski function and convolution structures. Moreover, by using the SCDO, we introduce a generalized class of Briot–Bouquet differential equations to introduce, what is called the symmetric conformable Briot–Bouquet differential equations. We shall show that the upper bound of this class is symmetric in the open unit disk.

This chapter introduces the basic concepts underlying Banach and Hilbert spaces and gives an illustration thereof through the problem of function approximation in the form of expansions over Hilbert bases. Two types of bases are considered: trigonometric bases leading to Fourier series and bases of orthogonal polynomials. The chapter first defines the notions of distance and metric space. Then, it illustrates the use of distance for the study of convergence of sequences and of local continuity of a function. The notions of orthogonality, orthonormal basis, and orthogonal projection onto a subspace are presented before describing the Gram–Schmidt orthonormalization process which is a fundamental method of linear algebra. The chapter also presents the notion of Fourier series expansion of periodic functions. It makes the link between Hilbert spaces and function approximation through the use of expansions over Hilbert bases.

This chapter pursues three lines of investigation in the subject of functional analysis—one involving smooth functions and distributions, one involving fixed-point theorems, and one involving spectral theory.Section 1 introduces topological vector spaces. These are real or complex vector spaces with a Hausdorff topology in which addition and scalar multiplication are continuous. Examples include normed linear spaces, spaces given by a separating family of countably many seminorms, and weak and weak-star topologies in the context of Banach spaces. Various general properties of topological vector spaces are proved, and it is proved that the quotient of a topological vector space by a closed vector subspace is Hausdorff and is therefore a topological vector space.Section 2 introduces a topology on the space C∞(U) of smooth functions on an open subset of ℝN. The support of a continuous linear functional on C∞(U) is defined and shown to be a compact subset of U. Accordingly, the continuous linear functionals are called distributions of compact support.Section 3 studies weak and weak-star topologies in more detail. The main result is Alaoglu’s Theorem, which says that the closed unit ball in the weak-star topology on the dual of a normed linear space is compact. In an earlier chapter a preliminary form of this theorem was used to construct elements in a dual space as limits of weak-star convergent subsequences.Section 4 follows Alaoglu’s Theorem along a particular path, giving what amounts to a first example of the Gelfand theory of Banach algebras. The relevant theorem, known as the Stone Representation Theorem, says that conjugate-closed uniformly closed subalgebras containing the constants in B(S) are isomorphic via a norm-preserving algebra isomorphism to the space of all continuous functions on some compact Hausdorff space. The compact space in question is the space of multiplicative linear functionals on the subalgebra, and the proof of compactness uses Alaoglu’s Theorem.Sections 5–6 return to the lines of study toward distributions and fixed-point theorems. Section 5 studies the relationship between convexity and the existence of separating linear functionals. The main theorem makes use of the Hahn-Banach Theorem. Section 6 introduces locally convex topological vector spaces. Application of the basic separation theorem from the previous section shows the existence of many continuous linear functionals on such a space.Section 7 specializes to the line of study via smooth functions and distributions. The topic is the introduction of a certain locally convex topology on the space C ∞com (U) of smooth functions of compact support on U. This is best characterized by a universal mapping property introduced in the section.Sections 8–9 pursue locally convex spaces along the other line of study that split off in Section 5. Section 8 gives the Krein-Milman Theorem, which asserts the existence of a supply of extreme points for any nonempty compact convex set in a locally convex topological vector space. Section 9 relates compact convex sets to the subject of fixed-point theorems.Section 10 takes up the abstract theory of Banach algebras, with particular attention to commutative C* algebras with identity. Three examples are the algebras characterized by the Stone Representation Theorem, any L∞ space, and any adjoint-closed commutative Banach algebra consisting of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space and containing the identity.Section 11 continues the investigation of the last of the examples in the previous section and derives the Spectral Theorem for bounded self-adjoint operators and certain related families of operators. Powerful applications follow from a functional calculus implied by the Spectral Theorem. The section concludes with remarks about the Spectral Theorem for unbounded self-adjoint operators.KeywordsBanach AlgebraTopological Vector SpaceNormed Linear SpaceInternal PointCompact Hausdorff SpaceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

The (maximum) penalized-likelihood method of probability density estimation and bump-hunting is improved and exemplified by applications to scattering and chondrite data. We show how the hyperparameter in the method can be satisfactorily estimated by using statistics of goodness of fit. A Fourier expansion is found to be usually more expeditious than a Hermite expansion but a compromise is useful. The best fit to the scattering data has 13 bumps, all of which are evaluated by the Bayesian interpretation of the method. Eight bumps are well supported. The result for the chondrite data suggests that it is trimodal and confirms that there are (at least) three kinds of chondrite.

Let H be an abstract separable Hilbert space. We will consider the Hilbert space H1 whose elements are functionsf(x) with domain H and we will also consider the set of self-adjoint operators Q(x) in H of the form Q(x)=A+B(x). In this formula A≥E, B(x)≥0, and the operator B(x) is bounded for all x. An operator L0 is defined on the set of finite, infinitely differentiable (in the strong sense) functions y(x) eH1 according to the formula: L0y=−y″ + Q(x)y (−∞<x<∞). It is proved that the closure of the operator L0 is a self-adjoint operator in H1 under the given assumptions.

Relative form boundedness and compactness for a second-order differential operator

We describe continuous linear operators acting in a countable inductive limit of weighted Frchet spaces of entire functions of several complex variables and commuting in these spaces with systems of partial differentiation and translation operators. Under the made assumptions, the commutants of the systems of differentiation and translation operators coincide. They consist of convolution operators defined by an arbitrary continuous linear functional on . At that, we do not assume that the set of the polynomials is dense in . In the space topological dual to , we introduce the natural multiplication. Under this multiplication, the algebra is isomorphic to the aforementioned commutant with the usual multiplication, which is the composition of the operators. This isomorphism is also topological if is equipped by the weak topology, while the commutant is equipped by the weak operator topology. This implies that the set of the polynomials of the differentiation operators is dense in the commutant with topology of pointwise convergence. We also study the possibility of representing an operator in the commutant as an infinite order differential operator with constant coefficients. We prove the immediate continuity of linear operators commuting with all differentiation operators in a weighted (LF)-space of entire functions isomorphic via Fourier-Laplace transform to the space of infinitely differentiable functions compactly supported in a real multi-dimensional space.

This research paper aims to study the methods of solving partial differential equations using Fourier series. Partial differential equations are a powerful and practical tool in mathematics and physics to describe many phenomena and processes that involve continuous change at the level of equations and functions. The basic concepts related to the Fourier series and how to represent functions using it in the field of mathematics will be reviewed. Application examples of partial differential equations, such as waves, heat and diffusion, and how to use the Fourier series to solve them will also be presented. The steps of solving the partial differential equation using the Fourier series will be explained. The importance of Fourier series in the theory of partial differential equations is that periodic functions f(x) defined on (-∞,∞) or functions defined on a finite interval can be represented by an infinite interval of sines and cosines. In this research, the solution of the partial differential equation using the Fourier series was studied with the solution of an example.

This study conducts an introductory investigation of the Fourier series with fuzzy coefficients. A structure of Hilbert space is provided throughout an identification of the convergent square summable real sequences into a set generated by an enumerable family of strongly linearly independent subsets of fuzzy numbers. An application to a signal processing model with the fuzzy Fourier series approximation of the square wave is presented.

We study the spectral function of a self-adjoint semibounded below differential operator on a Hilbert space and obtain the formulae for the spectral function of the operator with general boundary conditions at the zero. In particular, for the boundary conditions we find the explicit form of the spectral function on the diagonal for .

On a theorem of Livsic

The instability index of a linear operator with point spectrum is defined to be the total multiplicity of its eigenvalues with positive real parts. Under certain conditions the computation of the instability index of an unbounded nonsymmetric operator acting in a Hilbert space can be reduced to an analogous problem for a certain selfadjoint operator. It is shown that if the original operator is a differential operator acting in a space of vector-valued functions with a single variable, then the selfadjoint operator corresponding to it can be found in the form of an integro-differential operator which can be realized constructively by solving a special elliptic boundary value problem. Analogues of known theorems of Morse on the connection between the instability index and the number of conjugate points are established for this integro-differential operator.Bibliography: 26 titles.

The spectral representation of a symmetric nonmaximal operator transforms it into a multiplication operator by a complex variable acting in a linear space of pairs of vectorvalued functions holomorphic on the upper and lower half- planes. Each generalized spectral function of the same symmetric operator leads to its realization in form of a multiplication operator by a real variable in some Hilbert space. We study the connection between such realizations of the given operator and its spectral representation.
