Generalized Bessel Functions for p-Radial Functions

Suppose that and p > 0. In this paper we study the generalized Bessel functions for the surface , introduced by D.St.P. Richards. We derive a recurrence relation for these functions and utilize a series representation to relate them to the classical symmetric functions. These generalized Bessel functions are symmetric with respect to the action of the hyperoctahedral group W_d, which is the symmetry group of the unit sphere. By means of this symmetry under W_d, we further express these generalized Bessel functions in terms of Bessel functions for certain finite reflection groups. For the case in which p = 2, our representations lead to known relations for the classical Bessel functions of order (d - 2)/2. For the case in which p = 1, the generalized Bessel functions have been studied by Berens and Xu in the analysis of summability problems for 1-radial functions, and we show how their results may be framed within our more general context.     

Large degree asymptotics of generalized Bessel polynomials

Asymptotic expansions are given for large values of n of the generalized Bessel polynomials . The analysis is based on integrals that follow from the generating functions of the polynomials. A new simple expansion is given that is valid outside a compact neighborhood of the origin in the z-plane. New forms of expansions in terms of elementary functions valid in sectors not containing the turning points z=±i/n are derived, and a new expansion in terms of modified Bessel functions is given. Earlier asymptotic expansions of the generalized Bessel polynomials by Wong and Zhang (1997) and Dunster (2001) are discussed.     

Generalized Shift-Invariant Systems

A countable collection $X$ of functions in $L_2(\mbox{\footnotesize\bf R})$ is said to be a Bessel system if the associated analysis operator $$ \txs{X}:L_2(\mbox{\smallbf R}^d)\to \ell_2(X) : f\mapsto (\inpro{f,x})_{x\in X} $$ is well-defined and bounded. A Bessel system is a fundamental frame if $\txs{X}$ is injective and its range is closed. This paper considers the above two properties for a generalized shift-invariant system $X$. By definition, such a system has the form $$ X=\bigcup_{j\in J} Y_j, $$ where each $Y_j$ is a shift-invariant system (i.e., is comprised of lattice translates of some function(s)) and $J$ is a countable (or finite) index set. The definition is general enough to include wavelet systems, shift-invariant systems, Gabor systems, and many variations of wavelet systems such as quasi-affine ones and nonstationary ones. The main theme of this paper is the fiberization of $\txs{X}$, which allows one to study the frame and Bessel properties of $X$ via the spectral properties of a collection of finite-order Hermitian nonnegative matrices.     

On the role of arbitrary order Bessel functions in higher dimensional Dirac type equations

This paper exhibits an interesting relationship between arbitrary order Bessel functions and Dirac type equations. Let be the Euclidean Dirac operator in the n-dimensional flat space the radial symmetric Euler operator and α and λ be arbitrary non-zero complex parameters. The goal of this paper is to describe explicitly the structure of the solutions to the PDE system in terms of arbitrary complex order Bessel functions and homogeneous monogenic polynomials.

Approximations of parabolic integro-differential equations using wavelet-Galerkin compression techniques

Error estimates for Galerkin discretizations of parabolic integro-differential equations are presented under minimal regularity assumptions. The analysis is applicable in case that the full Galerkin matrix A associated to the integral operator is replaced by a compressed “sparse” matrix using wavelet basis techniques. In particular, a semi-discrete (in space) scheme and a fully-discrete scheme which is discontinuous in time but conforming in space are analyzed. AMS subject classification (2000)  65R20, 65M60     

The Schur–Potapov Algorithm for Sequences of Complex p × q Matrices. I

The main theme of this paper is to characterize distinguished subclasses of the matricial Schur class in terms of Taylor coefficients. Starting point of our investigations is the observation that the Taylor coefficient sequences of functions from are exactly the infinite p  ×  q Schur sequences. We draw our attention mainly to the subclass of which consists of all p ×  q Schur functions for which the corresponding Taylor coefficient sequences are nondegenerate p  ×  q Schur sequences. Using an appropriate adaptation of the Schur–Potapov algorithm for functions belonging to to infinite sequences of complex p  ×  q matrices we obtain an one-to-one correspondence between infinite nondegenerate p  ×  q Schur sequences and the set of all infinite sequences (E_j)_j=0^∞ of strictly contractive complex p  ×  q matrices. Taking into account the construction of this gives us an one-to-one correspondence between and the set of all infinite sequences (E_j)_j=0^∞ of strictly contractive complex p  ×  q matrices. Hereby, (E_j)_{j =0}^∞ is called the sequence of Schur–Potapov parameters (shortly SP-parameters) of f. Communicated by Daniel Alpay. Submitted: August 17, 2006; Accepted: September 13, 2006     

Product formulas and convolution structure for Fourier-Bessel series

One of the most far-reaching qualities of an orthogonal system is the presence of an explicit product formula. It can be utilized to establish a convolution structure and hence is essential for the harmonic analysis of the corresponding orthogonal expansion. As yet a convolution structure for Fourier-Bessel series is unknown, maybe in view of the unpractical nature of the corresponding expanding functions called Fourier-Bessel functions. It is shown in this paper that for the half-integral values of the parameter ,n=0, 1, 2,, the Fourier-Bessel functions possess a product formula, the kernel of which splits up into two different parts. While the first part is still the well-known kernel of Sonine's product formula of Bessel functions, the second part is new and reflects the boundary constraints of the Fourier-Bessel differential equation. It is given, essentially, as a finite sum over triple products of Bessel polynomials. The representation is explicit up to coefficients which are calculated here for the first two nontrivial cases and . As a consequence, a positive convolution structure is established for . The method of proof is based on solving a hyperbolic initial boundary value problem.Communicated by Tom H. Koornwinder.     

On the Integral Representation of Spherical k-Regular Functions in Clifford Analysis

We study the null solutions of iterated applications of the spherical (Atiyah-Singer) Dirac operator on locally defined polynomial forms on the unit sphere of ; functions valued in the universal Clifford algebra , here called spherical k-regular functions. We construct the kernel functions, get the integral representation formula and Cauchy integral formula of spherical k-regular functions, and as applications, the weak solutions of higher order inhomogeneous spherical (Atiyah-Singer) Dirac equations . We obtain, in particular, the weak solution of an inhomogeneous spherical Poisson equation Δ _s g = f.

Pointwise estimates for relative fundamental solutions of heat equations in $${\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{C}}$$

Let be a subharmonic, nonharmonic polynomial and a parameter. Define , a closed, densely defined operator on . If and , we solve the heat equations , u(0,z) = f(z) and , . We write the solutions via heat semigroups and show that the solutions can be written as integrals against distributional kernels. We prove that the kernels are C ^∞ off of the diagonal {(s, z, w) : s = 0 and z = w} and find pointwise bounds for the kernels and their derivatives.

On the ground state eigenfunction of a convex domain in Euclidean space

We study the first eigenfunction ₁ of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a convex domain in Euclidean space. Elementary properties of Bessel functions yield that if D is a sector in Euclidean plane with area 1 and the angle tends to 0. We aim to characterize those domains D such that is large in terms of the ratio of the first eigenvalue of D and the infimum of the first eigenvalues of all subdomains D of D with given volume.Research supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft     

Regularity, Local and Microlocal Analysis in Theories of Generalized Functions

We introduce a general context involving a presheaf and a subpresheaf ℬ of  . We show that all previously considered cases of local analysis of generalized functions (defined from duality or algebraic techniques) can be interpretated as the ℬ-local analysis of sections of  . But the microlocal analysis of the sections of sheaves or presheaves under consideration is dissociated into a “frequential microlocal analysis” and into a “microlocal asymptotic analysis”. The frequential microlocal analysis based on the Fourier transform leads to the study of propagation of singularities under only linear (including pseudodifferential) operators in the theories described here, but has been extended to some non linear cases in classical theories involving Sobolev techniques. The microlocal asymptotic analysis is a new spectral study of singularities. It can inherit from the algebraic structure of ℬ some good properties with respect to nonlinear operations.

We consider some classes of 2π-periodic functions defined by a class of operators having certain oscillation properties, which include the classical Sobolev class and a class of analytic functions which can not be represented as a convolution class as its special cases. Let be the largest integer not bigger than x. We prove that on these classes of functions the rectangular formula

Carleson Measures for the Bloch Space

In this paper we study the positive Borel measures μ on the unit disc in for which the Bloch space is continuously included in , 0 < p < ∞. We call such measures p-Bloch-Carleson measures. We give two conditions on a measure μ in terms of certain logarithmic integrals one of which is a necessary condition and the other a sufficient condition for μ being a p-Bloch-Carleson measure. We also give a complete characterization of the p-Bloch-Carleson measures within certain special classes of measures. It is also shown that, for p > 1, the p-Bloch-Carleson measures are exactly those for which the Toeplitz operator , defined by , maps continuously into the Bergman space A ¹, . Furthermore, we prove that if p > 1, α >-1 and ω is a weight which satisfies the Bekollé-Bonami -condition, then the measure defined by is a p-Bloch-Carleson-measure. We also consider the Banach space of those functions f which are analytic in and satisfy , as . The Bloch space is contained in . We describe the p-Carleson measures for and study weighted composition operators and a class of integration operators acting in this space. We determine which of these operators map continuously to the weighted Bergman space and show that they are automatically compact.

Koksma–Hlawka type inequalities of fractional order

The Koksma–Hlawka inequality states that the error of numerical integration by a quasi-Monte Carlo rule is bounded above by the variation of the function times the star-discrepancy. In practical applications though functions often do not have bounded variation. Hence here we relax the smoothness assumptions required in the Koksma–Hlawka inequality. We introduce Banach spaces of functions whose fractional derivative of order is in . We show that if α is an integer and p = 2 then one obtains the usual Sobolev space. Using these fractional Banach spaces we generalize the Koksma–Hlawka inequality to functions whose partial fractional derivatives are in . Hence we can also obtain an upper bound on the integration error even for certain functions which do not have bounded variation but satisfy weaker smoothness conditions.
