A smooth complex generalization of the Hobby-Rice theorem

Abstract: The Hobby-Rice Theorem states that, given

n

functions

f_{j}

on

{m a t h b b R}^{N}

, there exists a multiplier

h

such that the integrals of

f_{j} h

are all simultaneously zero. This multiplier takes values~

p m 1

and is discontinuous. We show how to find a multiplier

h = e^{i g}

that is infinitely differentiable, takes values on the unit circle, and is such that the integrals of

f_{j} h

are all zero. We also show the existence of

n

infinitely differentiable, real functions

g_{j}

such that the

n

functions

f_{j} e^{i g_{j}}

are pairwise orthogonal.
