Applications of Affine Systems of Walsh Type to Generate Smooth Basis

The question on affine Riesz basis of Walsh affine systems is considered. An affine Riesz basis is constructed, generated by a continuous periodic function that belongs to the space on the real line, which has a derivative almost everywhere; in connection with the construction of this example, we note that the functions of the classical Walsh system suffer a discontinuity and their derivatives almost vanish everywhere. A method of regularization (improvement of differential properties) of the generating function of Walsh affine system is proposed, and a criterion for an affine Riesz basis for a regularized generating function that can be represented as a sum of a series in the Rademacher system is obtained.

Analytical solutions of a particular Hill's differential system

Consider a second order differential linear periodic equation. This equation is recast as a first-order homogeneous Hill’s system. For this system we obtain analytical solutions in explicit form. The first solution is a periodic function. The second solution is a sum of two functions; the first is a continuous periodic function, but the second is an oscillating function with monotone linear increasing amplitude. We give a formula to directly compute the slope of this increase, without knowing the second numerical solution. The periodic term of second solution may be computed directly. The coefficients of fundamental matrix of the system are analytical functions.

Affine Bessel sequences and Nikishin’s example

We study affine Bessel sequences in connection with the spectral theory and the multishift structure in Hilbert space. We construct a non-Besselian affine system fun(x)g1 n=0 generated by continuous periodic function u(x). The result is based on Nikishin?s example concerning convergence in measure. We also show that affine systems fun(x)g1 n=0 generated by any Lipchitz function u(x) are Besselian.

Absolutely convergent Fourier series and generalized Zygmund classes of functions

We investigate the order of magnitude of the modulus of smoothness of a function $f$ with absolutely convergent Fourier series. We give sufficient conditions in terms of the Fourier coefficients in order that $f$ belongs to one of the generalized Zygmund classes $(\mathrm{Zyg}(\alpha, L)$ and $(\mathrm{Zyg} (\alpha, 1/L)$, where $0\le \alpha\le 2$ and $L= L(x)$ is a positive, nondecreasing, slowly varying function and such that $L(x) \to \infty$ as $x\to \infty$. A continuous periodic function $f$ with period $2\pi$ is said to belong to the class $(\mathrm{Zyg} (\alpha, L)$ if 26740 |f(x+h) - 2f(x) + f(x-h)| \le C h^\alpha L\left(\frac{1}{h}\right)\qquad \text{for all $x\in \mathsf T$ and $h>0$}, 26740 where the constant $C$ does not depend on $x$ and $h$; and the class $(\mathrm{Zyg} (\alpha, 1/L)$ is defined analogously. The above sufficient conditions are also necessary in case the Fourier coefficients of $f$ are all nonnegative.

The limit-point, limit-circle nature of rapidly oscillating potentials

SynopsisThe Weyl limit-point, limit-circle nature of the equation y″(x)–q(x)y(x) = 0(0≦ x< ∞) is analysed When q(x) has the form q(x) = xαp(xβ), where α and β are positive constants and p(t) is a continuous periodic function of t.

On the existence of periodic solutions of a certain third-order differential equation

In this paper we shall be concerned with the differential equationin which a and b are constants, p(t) is a continuous periodic function of t with a least period ω, and dots indicate differentiation with respect to t. The function h(x) is assumed continuous for all x considered, so that solutions of (1) exist satisfying any assigned initial conditions. In an earlier paper (2) explicit hypotheses on (1) were established, in the two distinct cases:under which every solution x(t) of (1) satisfieswhere t0 depends on the particular x chosen, and D is a constant depending only on a, b, h and p. These hypotheses are, in the case (2),or, in the case (3),In what follows here we shall refer to (2) and (H1) collectively as the (boundedness) hypotheses (BH1), and to (3) and (H2) as the hypotheses (BH2). Our object is to examine whether periodic solutions of (1) exist under the hypotheses (BH1), (BH2).
