A Tauberian theorem for distributional point values (Q998809): Difference between revisions

The definition of the value of a distribution at a point was first given by \textit{S.\,Łojasiewicz} [Stud.\ Math.\ 16, 1--36 (1957; Zbl 0086.09405)]. A distribution \(f\in {\mathcal D}'({\mathbb R})\) has the value \(\gamma\) at the point \(x_0\in\mathbb{R}\) if the limit \(\lim_{\varepsilon\to0}f(x_0+\varepsilon x)\) exists in \({\mathcal D}'({\mathbb R})\) and is equal to the constant \(\gamma\). This is denoted by \(f(x_0)=\gamma\). In the present paper, the authors prove that if \(f\in {\mathcal D}'(a,b)\) is the distributional limit of an analytic function \(F\) defined in \((a,b)\times (0,R)\), and \(F(x_0+i y) \to \gamma\) as \(y \to 0^+\), and \(f\) is distributionally bounded at \(x=x_0\), then \(f\) has the value \(\gamma\) at the point \(x_0\).
