Extremal functions in de Branges and Euclidean spaces (Q2452074): Difference between revisions

The authors study some extremal problems on the class of entire functions of prescribed exponential type. The central problem is to obtain optimal majorants and minorants of exponential type for a special class of radial functions on \({\mathbb R}^N\) in the \(L^1({\mathbb R}^N, \, |x|^{2\nu+2-N} dx)\)-metric, where \(\nu>-1\) is a free parameter. To achieve this result the authors develop new interpolation tools to solve to solve an associated extremal problem for the exponential function \(e^{-\lambda |x|}\), where \(\lambda>0\), in the general framework of de Branges spaces. Specializing this construction to a particular family of homogeneous de Branges spaces the authors solve the central problem. Applications of the results include multidimensional versions of Hilbert-type inequalities, extremal one-sided approximations by trigonometric polynomials for a class even periodic functions and extremal one-sided approximations by polynomials for a class of functions on the sphere \({\mathbb S}^{N-1}\) with an axis of symmetry.
