Unique continuation for elliptic operators with non-multiple characteristics

In this paper we prove a unique continuation theorem for elliptic operators of the formP(D)+V(x), whereP(D) has orderm≥2 and simple complex characteristics, andV(x)∈L ^n/m (R ⁿ ). To prove our main theorem we use a restriction theorem for the Fourier transform to manifolds of codimension 2.     

Hyperbolic Wavelets and Multiresolution in H^{2}(\mathbb{T})

In signal processing and system identification for H²(\BbbT)H^{2}(\Bbb{T}) and H²(\BbbD)H^{2}(\Bbb{D}) the traditional trigonometric bases and trigonometric Fourier transform are replaced by the more efficient rational orthogonal bases like the discrete Laguerre, Kautz and Malmquist-Takenaka systems and the associated transforms. These bases are constructed from rational Blaschke functions, which form a group with respect to function composition that is isomorphic to the Blaschke group, respectively to the hyperbolic matrix group. Consequently, the background theory uses tools from non-commutative harmonic analysis over groups and the generalization of Fourier transform uses concepts from the theory of the voice transform. The successful application of rational orthogonal bases needs a priori knowledge of the poles of the transfer function that may cause a drawback of the method. In this paper we give a set of poles and using them we will generate a multiresolution in H²(\BbbT)H^{2}(\Bbb{T}) and H²(\BbbD)H^{2}(\Bbb{D}). The construction is an analogy with the discrete affine wavelets, and in fact is the discretization of the continuous voice transform generated by a representation of the Blaschke group over the space H²(\BbbT)H^{2}(\Bbb{T}). The constructed discretization scheme gives opportunity of practical realization of hyperbolic wavelet representation of signals belonging to H²(\BbbT)H^{2}(\Bbb{T}) and H²(\BbbD)H^{2}(\Bbb{D}) if we can measure their values on a given set of points inside the unit circle or on the unit circle. Convergence properties of the hyperbolic wavelet representation will be studied.     

Slice regular functions on real alternative algebras

In this paper we develop a theory of slice regular functions on a real alternative algebra A. Our approach is based on a well-known Fueter's construction. Two recent function theories can be included in our general theory: the one of slice regular functions of a quaternionic or octonionic variable and the theory of slice monogenic functions of a Clifford variable. Our approach permits to extend the range of these function theories and to obtain new results. In particular, we get a strong form of the fundamental theorem of algebra for an ample class of polynomials with coefficients in A and we prove a Cauchy integral formula for slice functions of class C¹.     

Product (α1, α2)-modulation spaces

We study fundamental properties of product (α₁, α₂)-modulation spaces built by (α₁, α₂)-coverings of ℝⁿ¹ × ℝⁿ². Precisely we prove embedding theorems between these spaces with different parameters and other classical spaces. Furthermore, we specify their duals. The characterization of product modulation spaces via the short time Fourier transform is also obtained. Families of tight frames are constructed and discrete representations in terms of corresponding sequence spaces are derived. Fourier multipliers are studied and as applications we extract lifting properties and the identification of our spaces with (fractional) Sobolev spaces with mixed smoothness.

     

On Nevanlinna's second main theorem in projective space

Summary We first prove a theorem concerning higher order logarithmic partial derivatives for meromorphic functions of several complex variables. Then we show the best nature of the second main theorem in Nevanlinna theory under two different assumptions of non-degeneracy of meromorphic mappingsf : ^{n n} for arbitrary positive integersn andm. Moreover, we derive a upper bound of the error term in the second main theorem for meromorphic mappings of finite order. Finally, we demonstrate the sharpness of all upper bounds in our main theorems.Oblatum 28-IX-1994 & 29-V-1995     

Approximation power of RBFs and their associated SBFs: a connection

Error estimates for scattered data interpolation by “shifts” of a conditionally positive definite function (CPD) for target functions in its native space, which is its associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), have been known for a long time. Regardless of the underlying manifold, for example ℝⁿ or S ⁿ, these error estimates are determined by the rate of decay of the Fourier transform (or Fourier series) of the CPD. This paper deals with the restriction of radial basis functions (RBFs), which are radial CPD functions on ℝⁿ⁺¹, to the unit sphere S ⁿ. In the paper, we first strengthen a result derived by two of us concerning an explicit representation of the Fourier–Legendre coefficients of the restriction in terms of the Fourier transform of the RBF. In addition, for RBFs that are related to completely monotonic functions, we derive a new integral representation for these coefficients in terms of the measure generating the completely monotonic function. These representations are then utilized to show that if an RBF has a native space equivalent to a Sobolev space H _s(ℝⁿ⁺¹), then the restriction to S ⁿ has a native space equivalent to H _s−1/2(S ⁿ). In addition, they are used to recover the asymptotic behavior of such coefficients for a wide variety of RBFs. Some of these were known earlier. Joseph D. Ward: Francis J.

The Fueter mapping theorem in integral form and the ℱ‐functional calculus

In this paper we show a version of the Fueter mapping theorem that can be stated in integral form based on the Cauchy formulas for slice monogenic (or slice regular) functions. More precisely, given a holomorphic function f of a paravector variable, we generate a monogenic function by an integral transform whose kernel is particularly simple. This procedure allows us to define a functional calculus for n‐tuples of commuting operators (called ?‐functional calculus) based on a new notion of spectrum, called ?‐spectrum, for the n‐tuples of operators. Analogous results are shown for the quaternionic version of the theory and for the related ?‐functional calculus. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A Paley-Wiener theorem and Wiener-Hopf-type integral equations in Clifford analysis

Using the properties of the monogenic extension of the Fourier transform, we state a Paley-Wiener-type theorem for monogenic functions. Based on an multiplier algebra related to boundary values of monogenic functions we consider integral equations of Wiener-Hopf-typeK±u _±=f on ℝ ⁿ , whereK ∈S′ andu _± are boundary values of monogenic functions in ℝ₊ ⁿ⁺¹ and ℝ_{_} ⁿ⁺¹ respectivly.     

Clifford Algebra-Valued Wavelet Transform on Multivector Fields

This paper presents a construction of the n = 2 (mod 4) Clifford algebra Cl _n,0-valued admissible wavelet transform using the admissible similitude group SIM(n), a subgroup of the affine group of \mathbbRⁿ{\mathbb{R}^{n}} . We express the admissibility condition in terms of the Cl _n,0 Clifford Fourier transform (CFT). We show that its fundamental properties such as inner product, norm relation, and inversion formula can be established whenever the Clifford admissible wavelet satisfies a particular admissibility condition. As an application we derive a Heisenberg type uncertainty principle for the Clifford algebra Cl _n,0-valued admissible wavelet transform. Finally, we provide some basic examples of these extended wavelets such as Clifford Morlet wavelets and Clifford Hermite wavelets.     

Analogues of Miyachi, cowling-price and Morgan theorems for compact extensions of ℝ n

Let K be a compact subgroup of automorphisms of ? ⁿ . We formulate and prove an analogue of Miyachi’s theorem for the semi-direct product K ? ? ⁿ . This allows us to solve the sharpness problems in the theorem of Cowling-Price and in the L ^p ? L ^q analogue of Morgan theorem for any compact extension of ? ⁿ . These upshots are proved using the representations theory and the Plancherel formula for the group Fourier transform.     

Inversion of the exponential X-ray transform. II: Numerics

The exponential X-ray transform arises in single photon emission computed tomography and is defined on functions on the plane by ??_μf(φ,x) = ∫f (x + tφ)e^μt where μ is a constant. In [MMAS(10), 561–574, 1988], we derived analytical formulae for filters K corresponding to a general point spread function E that can be used to invert the exponential X-ray transform via a filtered backprojection algorithm. Here, we use those formulae to derive expressions suitable for numerical computation of the filters corresponding to a specific family of bandlimited point spread functions and give the results of reconstructions of a mathematical phantom using these filters. Also included is an analogue of the Shepp–Logan ellipse theorem, [IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci. (21), 21–43, 1974], for the exponential X-ray transform.     

A theorem of the Wiener—Tauberian type forL 1(H n)

The Heisenberg motion groupHM(n), which is a semi-direct product of the Heisenberg group Hⁿ and the unitary group U(n), acts on Hⁿ in a natural way. Here we prove a Wiener-Tauberian theorem for L¹ (Hⁿ) with this HM(n)-action on Hⁿ i.e. we give conditions on the “group theoretic” Fourier transform of a functionf in L¹ (Hⁿ) in order that the linear span of^gf : g∈HM(n) is dense in L¹(Hⁿ), where^gf(z, t) =f(g·(z, t)), forg ∈ HM(n), (z,t)∈Hⁿ.     

Spherical Harmonic Analysis for Spinors on H n (C)

Recent results on the harmonic analysis of spinor fields on the complex hyperbolic space H ⁿ (C) are reviewed. We discuss the action of the invariant differential operators on the Poisson transforms, the theory of spherical functions and the spherical transform. The inversion formula, the Paley–Wiener theorem, and the Plancherel theorem for the spherical transform are obtained by reduction to Jacobi analysis on L ²(R).     

On inversion and Sobolev estimate results about the weighted Radon transform

In this paper, we derive an inversion of the weighted Radon transform by Fourier transform, Riesz potential, and integral transform. We extend results of Rigaud and Lakhal to the n‐dimensional Euclidean space. Furthermore, we obtain some properties of the weighted Radon transform. Finally, we develop some estimate results of the weighted Radon transform under Sobolev space.     

Chirp transforms and Chirp series

Motivated by the recent work on the non-harmonic Fourier atoms initiated by T. Qian and the non-harmonic Fourier series which originated from the celebrated work of Paley and Wiener, we introduce an integral version of the non-harmonic Fourier series, called Chirp transform. As an integral transform with kernel ei?(t)θ(ω), the Chirp transform is an unitary isometry from L²(R,d?) onto L²(R,dθ) and it can be explicitly defined in terms of generalized Hermite polynomials. The corresponding Chirp series take einθ(t) as a basis which in some sense is dual to the theory of non-harmonic Fourier series which take eiλnt as a basis. The Chirp version of the Shannon sampling theorem and the Poisson summation formula are also considered by dealing with sampling points which may non-equally distributed. Since the Chirp transform interchanges weighted derivatives into multiplications, it plays a role in solving certain differential equations with variable coefficients. In addition, we extend T. Qian's theorem on the characterization of a measure to be a linear combination of a number of harmonic measures on the unit disc with positive integer coefficients to that with positive rational coefficients.     

The Calderón reproducing formula, windowed X-ray transforms, and radon transforms in LP-spaces

The generalized Calderón reproducing formula involving “wavelet measure” is established for functions f ∈ L^p(ℝⁿ). The special choice of the wavelet measure in the reproducing formula gives rise to the continuous decomposition of f into wavelets, and enables one to obtain inversion formulae for generalized windowed X-ray transforms, the Radon transform, and k-plane transforms. The admissibility conditions for the wavelet measure μ are presented in terms of μ itself and in terms of the Fourier transform of μ. Acknowledgements and Notes.

On the Cauchy problem for Wigner–Poisson–BGK equation in the Wiener algebra

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the local mild solution to the Cauchy problem of the n‐dimensional (n≥3) Wigner–Poisson–BGK equation in the space of some integrable functions whose inverse Fourier transform are integrable. The main difficulties in establishing mild solution are to derive the boundedness and locally Lipschitz properties of the appropriate nonlinear terms in the Wiener algebra.

The Weyl transform and bounded operators on Lp(Rn)

A multiplier theorem for the Weyl transform is proved. This theorem is used to derive sufficient conditions for the boundedness of a general operator on L^p($\text{R}$ⁿ). An application to multipliers of the Hermite expansion is given.     

Fundamental solutions of the instationary Schrödinger difference operator

In this paper, we study the fundamental solutions for the explicit and implicit time dependent Schrödinger operator, via the discrete Fourier transform and the arising symbol for the Laplace operator. In both cases, we prove the convergence of the obtained discrete fundamental solutions to the continuous ones in the l ₁ norm.
