A Convolution Operator Related to the Generalized Mehler–Fock and Kontorovich–Lebedev Transforms

In this paper we study a generalization of an index integral involving the product of modified Bessel functions and associated Legendre functions. It is applied to a convolution construction associated with this integral, which is related to the classical Kontorovich–Lebedev and generalized Mehler–Fock transforms. Mapping properties and norm estimates in weighted L _p -spaces, 1 ≤ p ≤ 2, are investigated. An application to a class of convolution integral equations is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the solvability of these equations in L ₂.     

Measure-compact operators, almost compact operators, and linear functional equations in L p

Under study are the measure-compact operators and almost compact operators in L _p . We construct an example of a measure-compact operator that is not almost compact. Introducing two classes of closed linear operators in L _p , we prove that the resolvents of these operators are almost compact or measure-compact. We present methods for the reduction of linear functional equations of the second kind in L _p with almost compact or measure-compact operators to equivalent linear integral equations in L _p with quasidegenerate Carleman kernels.     

On Compactness of Regular Integral Operators in the Space <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript>1</Subscript>

In this paper we obtain a sufficient condition for quite continuity of Fredholm type integral operators in the space L₁(a, b). Uniform approximations by operators with degenerate kernels of horizontally striped structures are constructed. A quantitative error estimate is obtained. We point out the possibility of application of the obtained results to second kind integral equations, including convolution equations on a finite interval, equations with polar kernels, one-dimensional equations with potential type kernels, and some transport equations in non-homogeneous layers.     

On Monotonic Integrable Solutions for Quadratic Functional Integral Equations

We study the solvability of functional quadratic integral equations in the space of integrable functions on the interval I = [0, 1]. We concentrate on a.e. monotonic solutions for considered problems. The existence result is obtained under the assumption that the functions involved in the investigated equation satisfy Carathéodory conditions. As a solution space we consider both L ₁(I) and L _p (I) spaces for p > 1.     

Complex cauchy problem in the class of analytic functions with integral metric

We study the complex Cauchy problem for a system of linear differential equations in the class of analytic functions with integral metric. In the case of a Hardy-Lebesgue type weighted L _p -space, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the local solvability of the problem.     

Triangular summability of two-dimensional Fourier transforms

We consider the triangular summability of two-dimensional Fourier transforms, and show that the maximal operator of the triangular-??-means of a tempered distribution is bounded from H _p (?²) to L _p (?²) for all 2/(2 + ??) < p ?? ??; consequently, it is of weak type (1,1), where 0 < ?? ?? 1 is depending only on ??. As a consequence, we obtain that the triangular-??-means of a function f ?? L ₁(?²) converge to f a.e. Norm convergence is also considered, and similar results are shown for the conjugate functions. Some special cases of the triangular-??-summation are considered, such as the Weierstrass, Picar, Bessel, Fejér, de la Vallée-Poussin, Rogosinski, and Riesz summations.     

The boundedness and the fredholm property of integral operators with anisotropically homogeneous kernels of compact type and variable coefficients

In the space L _p (? ⁿ ), 1 < p < ??, we study a new wide class of integral operators with anisotropically homogeneous kernels. We obtain sufficient conditions for the boundedness of operators from this class. We consider the Banach algebra generated by operators with anisotropically homogeneous kernels of compact type and multiplicatively slowly oscillating coefficients. We establish a relationship between this algebra and multidimensional convolution operators, and construct a symbolic calculus for it. We also obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the Fredholm property of operators from this algebra.     

Well-posed solvability of an analytic Cauchy problem in spaces with an integral metric

We study the complex Cauchy problem for a system of linear differential equations in a class of analytic functions with an integral metric. For the case in which L_p is a weighted Lebesgue space, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the local solvability of the problem.     

Convolution integral equations involving a general class of polynomials and the multivariableH-function

In this paper we first solve a convolution integral equation involving product of the general class of polynomials and theH-function of several variables. Due to general nature of the general class of polynomials and theH-function of several variables which occur as kernels in our main convolution integral equation, we can obtain from it solutions of a large number of convolution integral equations involving products of several useful polynomials and special functions as its special cases. We record here only one such special case which involves the product of general class of polynomials and Appell's functionF ₃. We also give exact references of two results recently obtained by Srivastavaet al [10] and Rashmi Jain [3] which follow as special cases of our main result.     

Bessel functions for GL 2

In classical analytic number theory there are several trace formulas or summation formulas for modular forms that involve integral transformations of test functions against classical Bessel functions. Two prominent such are the Kuznetsov trace formula and the Voronoi summation formula. With the paradigm shift from classical automorphic forms to automorphic representations, one is led to ask whether the Bessel functions that arise in the classical summation formulas have a representation theoretic interpretation. We introduce Bessel functions for representations of GL ₂ over a finite field first to develop their formal properties and introduce the idea that the γ-factor that appears in local functional equations for L-functions should be the Mellin transform of a Bessel function. We then proceed to Bessel functions for representations of GL ₂(?) and explain their occurrence in the Voronoi summation formula from this point of view. We briefly discuss Bessel functions for GL ₂ over a p-adic field and the relation between γ-factors and Bessel functions in that context. We conclude with a brief discussion of Bessel functions for other groups and their application to the question of stability of γ-factors under highly ramified twists.     

On the similarity of linear operators in L p to integral operators of the first and second kind

We construct an example of a compact operator of the third kind in L _p (p ≠ 2) not similar to any integral operator of the first or second kind. This example shows that not every linear equation of the third kind in L _p (p ≠ 2) can be reduced by an invertible continuous linear change to an equivalent integral equation of the first or second kind. The example also proves the impossibility of a characterization of integral and Carleman integral operators in L _p (p ≠ 2) in terms of the spectrum and its components.     

On the kolmogorov theorems on Fourier series and conjugate functions

We consider Fourier series of summable functions from spaces ??wider?? than L ₁. We describe classes ??(L) which contain conjugate functions, where their conjugate Fourier series converge. The obtained results are more general than A. N. Kolmogorov theorems on the convergence of Fourier series in metrics weaker than that of L ₁.     

Weighted L p -algebras on groups

The space L _p (G), 1 > p < ∞, on a locally compact group G is known to be closed under convolution only if G is compact. However, the weighted spaces L _p (G, w) are Banach algebras with respect to convolution and natural norm under certain conditions on the weight. In the present paper, sufficient conditions for a weight defining a convolution algebra are stated in general form. These conditions are well known in some special cases. The spectrum (the maximal ideal space) of the algebra L _p (G,w) on an Abelian group G is described. It is shown that all algebras of this type are semisimple.     

On the representation of functions as Fourier integrals

Sufficient conditions for the representation of functions as the Fourier integral in ? ^d of a function belonging to the space L ₁ ∩ L _p , where 0 < p < 2 are obtained. The sharpness of these conditions is shown.     

Existence and Numerical Solutions of Nonlinear Quadratic Integral Equations Defined on Unbounded Intervals

The first goal of this article is to discuss the existence of solutions of nonlinear quadratic integral equations. These equations are considered in the Banach space L ^p (?₊). The arguments used in the existence proofs are based on Schauder's and Darbo's fixed point theorems. In particular, to apply Schauder's fixed point theorem based method, a special care is devoted to the proof of the L ^p -compactness of the operators associated with our nonlinear quadratic integral equations. The second goal of this work is to study a numerical method for solving nonlinear Volterra integral equations of a fairly general type. Finally, we provide the reader with some examples that illustrate the different results of this work.     

Natural Volterra Runge-Kutta methods

A very general class of Runge-Kutta methods for Volterra integral equations of the second kind is analyzed. Order and stage order conditions are derived for methods of order p and stage order q = p up to the order four. We also investigate stability properties of these methods with respect to the basic and the convolution test equations. The systematic search for A- and V ₀-stable methods is described and examples of highly stable methods are presented up to the order p = 4 and stage order q = 4.     

On spline collocation for convolution equations

We consider the numerical solution of Wiener-Hopf integral equations and Mellin convolution equations by collocation methods and their iterated and discrete variants, using piecewise polynomials as basis functions. In the present paper we obtain results on stability and optimal convergence in the L^p norm generalizing those of [4]–[6] and [9].     

On a boundary value problem of N. I. Ionkin type

We study the spectral properties of a second-order differential operator with regular but not strongly regular boundary conditions. We show that the system of root functions of this operator contains infinitely many associated functions. We prove that a specially chosen system of root functions of this operator forms a basis in the space L _p (0, 1), 1 < p < ∞, which is unconditional for p = 2.     

A Class of Index Transforms with General Kernels

This paper deals with a class of integral transforms of the non - convolution type involving sufficiently general kernels, which depend upon two essentially independent arguments. One of them, in various particular cases, is a parameter or index of the corresponding special functions. This class of integral transforms comprises the famous Kontorovich-Lebedev and Mehler-Fock transforms. We study here the mapping properties and give also inversion theorems of the general index transforms on the space L_p(?), p ≥ 1, that covers the respective measurable functions on the whole real axis with the norm It is shown that the images of the transforms belong to the space L_{ν, p}(?₊), νε ?, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ of functions normed by In particular, when v = 1/p we get the usual L_p(?₊) space. We also direct our attention to the case of the Hilbert space and give certain interesting examples of these transforms.     

Mapping Properties and Composition Structure of Multidimensional Integral Transforms

In this paper mapping properties of multidimensional integral transforms ?? are considered, which have a composition of the type ?? f = C ?? a ?? f, where C is a constant, ?? the Fourier transform and a denotes a function of absolute value one. Mapping properties are investigated in the spaces L₂(Rⁿ) and in Lizorkin spaces of test and generalized functions as well as in Gelfand-Shilov spaces of test and generalized functions. Two- and three-dimensional examples are discussed.
