Minimality of root vectors of operator functions analytic in an angle

We study the minimality of elementsx _h,j,k of canonical systems of root vectors. These systems correspond to the characteristic numbers _k of operator functionsL() analytic in an angle; we assume that operators act in a Hilbert space . In particular, we consider the case whereL()=I+T()c, >0,I is an identity operator,C is a completely continuous operator, (I- C)^–1c for ¦arg¦, 0<<, the operator functionT() is analytic, and T()c for ¦arg¦<. It is proved that, in this case, there exists >0 such that the system of vectorsC ^v x _h,j,k is minimal in for arbitrary positive <1+, provided that ¦_k¦>.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 46, No. 5, pp. 545–566, May, 1994.This research was partially supported by the Ukrainian State Committee of Science and Technology.     

Properties of solutions of linear functional-differential equations depending on a parameter

On the segment 0 t1 we study the equation A(d/dt, )x(t) + [F()x](t)=f(t), whereA (d/dt, ) x=x( ⁿ )+A ₁ x(^n–1 +...+ ⁿ A _n x, the matrices A₁,...,A_n are of size m × m, x is an unknown and f a given function with values in the m-dimensional space ^m , F() is a linear operator acting from a Hölder space to a Lebesgue space of vectorfunctions with values in ^m and depending on a complex parameter . We find the set of those at which a one-to-one correspondence is established between the solutions of the given equation and the solutions of the equation A(d/dt, )x(t)=0.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 43, No. 9, pp. 1213–1231, September, 1991.     

Estimation of a K-Functional of Higher Order in Terms of a K-Functional of Lower Order

Let U _j be a finite system of functionals of the form , and let be the subspace of the Sobolev space , 1 p +, that consists only of functions g such that U _j(g) = 0 for k _j < r. It is assumed that there exists at least one jump _j for every function _j , and if _j = _s for j s, then k _j k _s. For the K-functional

Equivalence of certain principal vectors of polynomial operator sheaves

The equivalence of derived chains constructed from the principal vectors of polynomial sheafs of operators acting in Hilbert space is studied. These derived chains correspond to different boundary-value problems on the semi-axis for operator-differential equations whose symbol is these operator sheafs. On the basis of equivalence tests assertions are deduced concerning the minimality of derived chains corresponding to a boundary-value problem on the semi-axis in the case in which the initial conditions of the vector solution at zero are known, and the solution itself obeys radiation-type conditions at infinity.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 7, pp. 948–970, July, 1992.

Moduli of continuity defined by zero continuation of functions andK-functionals with restrictions

We consider the followingK-functional: $$K(\delta ,f)_p : = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{g \in W_{p U}^r } \left\{ {\left\| {f - g} \right\|_{L_p } + \delta \sum\limits_{j = 0}^r {\left\| {g^{(j)} } \right\|_{L_p } } } \right\}, \delta \geqslant 0,$$ where ? ∈L _p :=L _p [0, 1] andW _p,U ^r is a subspace of the Sobolev spaceW _p ^r [0, 1], 1≤p≤∞, which consists of functionsg such that $\int_0^1 {g^{(l_j )} (\tau ) d\sigma _j (\tau ) = 0, j = 1, ... , n} $ . Assume that 0≤l _l ≤...≤l _n ≤r-1 and there is at least one point τ _j of jump for each function σ _j , and if τ _j =τ _s forj ≠s, thenl _j ≠l _s . Let $\hat f(t) = f(t)$ , 0≤t≤1, let $\hat f(t) = 0$ ,t<0, and let the modulus of continuity of the functionf be given by the equality $$\hat \omega _0^{[l]} (\delta ,f)_p : = \mathop {\sup }\limits_{0 \leqslant h \leqslant \delta } \left\| {\sum\limits_{j = 0}^l {( - 1)^j \left( \begin{gathered} l \hfill \\ j \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right)\hat f( - hj)} } \right\|_{L_p } , \delta \geqslant 0.$$ We obtain the estimates $K(\delta ^r ,f)_p \leqslant c\hat \omega _0^{[l_1 ]} (\delta ,f)_p $ and $K(\delta ^r ,f)_p \leqslant c\hat \omega _0^{[l_1 + 1]} (\delta ^\beta ,f)_p $ , where β=(pl _l + 1)/p(l ₁ + 1), and the constantc>0 does not depend on δ>0 and ? ∈L _p . We also establish some other estimates for the consideredK-functional.     

On the best approximations and rate of convergence of decompositions in the root vectors of an operator

We establish upper bounds of the best approximations of elements of a Banach space B by the root vectors of an operator A that acts in B. The corresponding estimates of the best approximations are expressed in terms of a K-functional associated with the operator A. For the operator of differentiation with periodic boundary conditions, these estimates coincide with the classical Jackson inequalities for the best approximations of functions by trigonometric polynomials. In terms of K-functionals, we also prove the abstract Dini-Lipschitz criterion of convergence of partial sums of the decomposition of f from B in the root vectors of the operator A to f     

Asymptotics with respect to a parameter of solutions of linear functional-differential equations

We study the question of the number of linearly independent solutions of the equationy ⁽ⁿ⁾ (x)+(Fy) (x)+ⁿ y (x)=0,x [0, 1], in which F is a bounded linear operator acting on various normed function spaces. A number of assertions about the asymptotic behavior of these solutions with respect to , tending to infinity are established.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 11, pp. 1460–1469, November, 1990.
