On an inequality of the Kolmogorov type for a second-order differential expression

In this paper we discuss an integro-differential inequality formed from the square of a second-order differential expression. A connection between the existence of the inequality and the Titchmarsh–Weyl m -function is established and it is shown that the best constant in the inequality is determined by the behaviour of the m -function. Analytic results are established for specific classes of problems. A numerical treatment of the inequality is also discussed and estimates of the best constant in specific examples are given.

SynopsisThis paper considers an extension of the following inequality given in the book Inequalities by Hardy, Littlewood and Polya; let f be real-valued, twice differentiable on [0, ∞) and such that f and f are both in the space fn, ∞), then f′ is in L,2(0, ∞) andThe extension consists in replacing f′ by M[f] wherechoosing f so that f and M[f] are in L2(0, ∞) and then seeking to determine if there is an inequality of the formwhere K is a positive number independent of f.The analysis involves a fourth-order differential equation and the second-order equation associated with M.A number of examples are discussed to illustrate the theorems obtained and to show that the extended inequality (*) may or may not hold.

The spatial behavior of a coupled system of wave-plate type is studied. We get the alternative results of Phragmén-Lindelöf type in terms of an area measure of the amplitude in question based on a first-order differential inequality. We also get the spatial decay estimates based on a second-order differential inequality.

SynopsisWe give generalizations of the Landau–Hadamard inequality ‖u′‖2 ≦ K ‖u‖ ‖u″‖ replacing u” by the second-order differential expression u″ − (α + β)u′ + αβu (α, β ∈ ℂ). The new functional inequalities are then used to obtain similar inequalities for dissipative and skew-Hermitian operators.

SynopsisThe inequality considered in this paper iswhereNis the real-valued symmetric differential expression defined byGeneral properties of this inequality are considered which result in giving an alternative account of a previously considered inequalityto which (*) reduces in the casep=q= 0,r= 1.Inequality (*) is also an extension of the inequalityas given by Hardy and Littlewood in 1932. This last inequality has been extended by Everitt to second-order differential expressions and the methods in this paper extend it to fourth-order differential expressions. As with many studies of symmetric differential expressions the jump from the second-order to the fourth-order introduces difficulties beyond the extension of technicalities: problems of a new order appear for which complete solutions are not available.

SynopsisThis article is concerned with eigenvalue problems of the form Au = λTu in a Hilbert space H, where Ais a selfadjoint positive operator generated by a second-order Sturm-Liouville differential expression and T a selfadjoint indefinite multiplicative operator which is one-to-one. Emphasis is on the full-range and partial-range expansionproperties of the eigenfunctions.

SynopsisThe deficiency index of each power of the differential expression M[y] = w−1(−(py′)′ + qy), defined on [a, ∞), is calculated exactly in terms of the behaviour of a simple function of p and w for a large class of expressions satisfying a hypothesis which requires that p be large compared with w and q. In general, not all powers of M are limit-point.
