Let G be a Hausdorff locally compact abelian group. The author has shown (Bull. Austral. Math. Soc. 10 (1974), 59–66) that, given ε > 0 and a certain base {Vi}i∈I of symmetric open neighbourhoods of zero, the algebra L1(G) admits a bounded positive approximate unit {ki}i∈I such that for every p–th integrable function f on G,where ω(p; f; Vi) denotes the mean modulus of continuity with exponent p of f. The purpose of this paper is to obtain {ki}i∈I (as above) with a simple dependence of supp on {ki}i∈I on Vi; this is achieved for finite products and homomorphic images of groups for which such a simple dependence is known. The results obtained are used to give a simplified proof of the classical Jackson's Theorem for the circle group, and an analogue of this theorem for the a-adic solenoid.

If f is a p–th integrable function on the circle group and ω(p; f; δ) is its mean modulus of continuity with exponent p then an extended version of the classical theorem of Jackson states the for each positive integer n, there exists a trigonometric polynomial tn of degree at most n for which‖f-tn‖p ≤(p; f; 1/n).In this paper it will be shewn that for G a Hausdorff locally compact abelian group, the algebra L1(G) admits a certain bounded positive approximate unit which, in turn, will be used to prove an analogue of the above result for Lp(G).

(1.1) The conjugate function on locally compact abelian groups. Let G be a locally compact abelian group with character group Ĝ. Let μ denote a Haar measure on G such that μ(G) = 1 if G is compact. (Unless stated otherwise, all the measures referred to below are Haar measures on the underlying groups.) Suppose that Ĝ contains a measurable order P: P + P ⊆P; PU(-P)= Ĝ; and P⋂(—P) =﹛0﹜. For ƒ in ℒ2(G), the conjugate function of f (with respect to the order P) is the function whose Fourier transform satisfies the identity for almost all χ in Ĝ, where sgnP(χ)= 0, 1, or —1, according as χ =0, χ ∈ P\\﹛0﹜, or χ ∈ (—P)\﹛0﹜.

Let x1, x2, x3 be independent random variables with values in a locally compact Abelian group X with nonvanish- ing characteristic functions, and aj, bj be continuous endomorphisms of X satisfying some restrictions. Let L1 = a1x1 + a2x2 + a3x3, L2 = b1x1 + b2x2 + b3x3. It was proved that the distribution of the random vector (L1; L2) determines the distributions of the random variables xj up a shift. This result is a group analogue of the well-known C.R. Rao theorem. We also prove an analogue of another C.R. Rao’s theorem for independent random variables with values in an a-adic solenoid.

We are concerned in this work with the following question:Suppose that i is a continuous algebraic isomorphism from the topological group H onto a subgroup of the topological group G and suppose that the image i(H) is not closed in G; then what can we say about the cardinal numberWe observe two easy results.

Let G be a locally compact abelian group, with character group Ĝ. Let ψ be an arbitrary continuous real-valued homomorphism defined on Ĝ. For f in LP(G), 1 < p ≤ 2, letwhere 1[−ν, ν] is the indicator function of the interval [ − ν, ν ], and I is an unbounded increasing sequence of positive real numbers. Then there is a constant Mp, independent of f, such that ‖M#f‖p ≤ Mp ‖f‖p. Consequently, the pointwise limit of the function exists, almost everywhere on G, as ν tends to infinity. Using this result and a generalised version of Riesz's theorem on conjugate functions, we obtain a pointwise inversion for Fourier transforms of functions on Ra × Tb, where a and b are nonnegative integers, and on various other locally compact abelian groups.

AbstractIn this paper, we consider the problem of characterizing positive definite functions on compact two-point homogeneous spaces cross locally compact abelian groups. For a locally compact abelian group $G$ with dual group $\widehat{G}$, a compact two-point homogeneous space $\mathbb{H}$ with normalized geodesic distance $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}$ and a profile function $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}:[-1,1]\times G\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ satisfying certain continuity and integrability assumptions, we show that the positive definiteness of the kernel $((x,u),(y,v))\in (\mathbb{H}\times G)^{2}\mapsto \unicode[STIX]{x1D719}(\cos \unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}(x,y),uv^{-1})$ is equivalent to the positive definiteness of the Fourier transformed kernels $(x,y)\in \mathbb{H}^{2}\mapsto \widehat{\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}}_{\cos \unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}(x,y)}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE})$, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}\in \widehat{G}$, where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}_{t}(u)=\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}(t,u)$, $u\in G$. We also provide some results on the strict positive definiteness of the kernel.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with a Delsarte-type extremal problem. Denote by $${\mathcal {P}}(G)$$ P ( G ) the set of positive definite continuous functions on a locally compact abelian group G. We consider the function class, which was originally introduced by Gorbachev, $$\begin{aligned}&{\mathcal {G}}(W, Q)_G = \left\{ f \in {\mathcal {P}}(G) \cap L^1(G)~:\right. \\&\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \left. f(0) = 1, ~ {\text {supp}}{f_+} \subseteq W,~ {\text {supp}}{\widehat{f}} \subseteq Q \right\} \end{aligned}$$ G ( W , Q ) G = f ∈ P ( G ) ∩ L 1 ( G ) : f ( 0 ) = 1 , supp f + ⊆ W , supp f ^ ⊆ Q where $$W\subseteq G$$ W ⊆ G is closed and of finite Haar measure and $$Q\subseteq {\widehat{G}}$$ Q ⊆ G ^ is compact. We also consider the related Delsarte-type problem of finding the extremal quantity $$\begin{aligned} {\mathcal {D}}(W,Q)_G = \sup \left\{ \int _{G} f(g) \mathrm{d}\lambda _G(g) ~ : ~ f \in {\mathcal {G}}(W,Q)_G\right\} . \end{aligned}$$ D ( W , Q ) G = sup ∫ G f ( g ) d λ G ( g ) : f ∈ G ( W , Q ) G . The main objective of the current paper is to prove the existence of an extremal function for the Delsarte-type extremal problem $${\mathcal {D}}(W,Q)_G$$ D ( W , Q ) G . The existence of the extremal function has recently been established by Berdysheva and Révész in the most immediate case where $$G={\mathbb {R}}^d$$ G = R d . So, the novelty here is that we consider the problem in the general setting of locally compact abelian groups. In this way, our result provides a far reaching generalization of the former work of Berdysheva and Révész.

For each natural number n, let un(x)=(1—cos nx)/πnx2(xɛℝ). It is well–known that a bounded continuous function f on the real line ℝ is the Fourier transform of an integrable function on ℝ if and only if the functions Φn(f) (n= 1, 2,…), defined byform a Cauchy sequence in the space L1(ℝ) (cf. [2]). Such a characterization, which can be extended to functions defined on a locally compact Abelian group more general than ℝ, is based on the fact that the space L1(ℝ) is complete with respect to convergence in mean.

AbstractAccording to the Skitovich–Darmois theorem, the independence of two linear forms of n independent random variables implies that the random variables are Gaussian. We consider the case where independent random variables take values in a second countable locally compact abelian group X, and coefficients of the forms are topological automorphisms of X. We describe a wide class of groups X for which a group-theoretic analogue of the Skitovich–Darmois theorem holds true when n=2.

This paper develops several aspects of shift-invariant spaces on locally compact abelian groups. For a second countable locally compact abelian group G we prove a useful Hilbert space isomorphism, introduce range functions and give a characterization of shift-invariant subspaces of L2(G) in terms of range functions. Utilizing these functions, we generalize characterizations of frames and Riesz bases generated by shifts of a countable set of generators from L2(ℝn) to L2(G).
