Weak subordination for convex univalent harmonic functions

For two complex-valued harmonic functions f and F defined in the open unit disk Δ with f(0)=F(0)=0, we say f is weakly subordinate to F if f(Δ)⊂F(Δ). Furthermore, if we let E be a possibly infinite interval, a function with f(⋅,t) harmonic in Δ and f(0,t)=0 for each t∈E is said to be a weak subordination chain if f(Δ,t₁)⊂f(Δ,t₂) whenever t₁,t₂∈E and t₁<t₂. In this paper, we construct a weak subordination chain of convex univalent harmonic functions using a harmonic de la Vallée Poussin mean and a modified form of Pommerenke's criterion for a subordination chain of analytic functions.     

Interpolating polynomial wavelets on [−1,1]

The present paper gives a contribution of wavelet aspects to classical algebraic polynomial approximation theory. As is so often the case in classical approximation, the authors follow the pattern provided by the trigonometric polynomial case. Algebraic polynomial interpolating scaling functions and wavelets are constructed by using the interpolation properties of de la Vallée Poussin kernels with respect to the four kinds of Chebyshev weights. For the decomposition and reconstruction of a given function the structure of the involved matrices is studied in order to reduce the computational effort by means of fast discrete cosine and sine transforms.

Fourier transform and related integral transforms in superspace

In this paper extensions of the classical Fourier, fractional Fourier and Radon transforms to superspace are studied. Previously, a Fourier transform in superspace was already studied, but with a different kernel. In this work, the fermionic part of the Fourier kernel has a natural symplectic structure, derived using a Clifford analysis approach. Several basic properties of these three transforms are studied. Using suitable generalizations of the Hermite polynomials to superspace (see [H. De Bie, F. Sommen, Hermite and Gegenbauer polynomials in superspace using Clifford analysis, J. Phys. A 40 (2007) 10441-10456]) an eigenfunction basis for the Fourier transform is constructed.     

A generalized Fourier transform and convolution on time scales

In this paper, we develop some important Fourier analysis tools in the context of time scales. In particular, we present a generalized Fourier transform in this context as well as a critical inversion result. This leads directly to a convolution for signals on two (possibly distinct) time scales as well as several natural classes of time scales which arise in this setting: dilated, closed under addition, and additively idempotent. We explore the properties of these time scales and demonstrate the utility of these concepts in discrete convolution, Mellin convolution, and transformations of a random variable.     

Higher order Lipschitz classes of functions and absolutely convergent Fourier series

We introduce the higher order Lipschitz classes Λ _r (α) and λ _r (α) of periodic functions by means of the rth order difference operator, where r = 1, 2, ..., and 0 < α ≦ r. We study the smoothness property of a function f with absolutely convergent Fourier series and give best possible sufficient conditions in terms of its Fourier coefficients in order that f belongs to one of the above classes. This research was supported by the Hungarian National Foundation for Scientific Research under Grant T 046 192.     

Fourier transform and distributional representation of the generalized gamma function with some applications

We present a Fourier transform representation of the generalized gamma functions, which leads to a distributional representation for them as a series of Dirac-delta functions. Applications of these representations are shown in evaluation of the integrals of products of the generalized gamma function with other functions. The results for Euler’s gamma function are deduced as special cases. The relation of the generalized gamma function with the Macdonald function is exploited to deduce new identities for it.     

Absolutely convergent Fourier series and function classes

We study the smoothness property of a function f with absolutely convergent Fourier series, and give best possible sufficient conditions in terms of its Fourier coefficients to ensure that f belongs either to one of the Lipschitz classes Lip(α) and lip(α) for some 0<α?1, or to one of the Zygmund classes Λ_∗(1) and λ_∗(1). Our theorems generalize some of those by Boas [R.P. Boas Jr., Fourier series with positive coefficients, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 17 (1967) 463-483] and one by Németh [J. Németh, Fourier series with positive coefficients and generalized Lipschitz classes, Acta Sci. Math. (Szeged) 54 (1990) 291-304]. We also prove a localized version of a theorem by Paley [R.E.A.C. Paley, On Fourier series with positive coefficients, J. London Math. Soc. 7 (1932) 205-208] on the existence and continuity of the derivative of f.     

Absolutely convergent Fourier series and function classes. II

We study the smoothness property of a function f with absolutely convergent Fourier series, and give best possible sufficient conditions in terms of its Fourier coefficients to ensure that f belongs to one of the Zygmund classes Λ_∗(α) and λ_∗(α) for some 0<α?2. This paper is a natural supplement to our earlier one [F. Móricz, Absolutely convergent Fourier series and function classes, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 324 (2) (2006) 1168-1177] under the same title, and we keep its notations.
