Entire functions of Bernstein's class that are not Fourier-Stieltjes transforms (Q1274107): Difference between revisions

The Bernstein class \(B\) consists of entire functions of exponential type \(\leq \pi\) that are bounded on the real axis. It is well known that if \(F\in B\) is a Fourier-Stieltjes transform, then the corresponding measure is necessarily concentrated on the torus \(\mathbb{T}\). In the present paper, certain subclasses of \(B\) are considered, while functions are constructed that belong to these subclasses but are not Fourier-Stieltjes transforms. Particular attention is paid to the distribution of zeros of such functions. The results obtained are applied to determine whether the completeness of a system \(\exp(i\lambda_nt)\) of exponentials in the spaces \(C(\mathbb{T})\) and \(L^p(\mathbb{T})\) is stable under small perturbations of the \(\lambda_n\).
