Abel Basis of Root Functions of Regular Boundary Value Problems

From MaRDI portal





Let \(A\) be an operator in a Hilbert space \(H\) with discrete spectrum. Let \((u_j)\) be the sequence of eigenvectors of \(A\) corresponding to the eigenvalue sequence \((\lambda_j)\). It is assumed that the eigenvalues \(\lambda_j\) lie in some angle \(| \text{arg }\lambda| <\theta\) and let \(\alpha>0\) be such that \(\alpha\theta<\frac\pi 2\). For \(u\in H\) let \(\sum_{j=1}^\infty c_ju_j\) be the formal Fourier series of \(u\). If for each \(u\in H\) and \(t>0\) the series \(\sum_{j=1}^\infty c_ju_je^{-\lambda_j^\alpha t}\) converges in parentheses to some \(u(t)\) (with parentheses independent of \(u\) and \(t\)) and if \(u(t)\to u\) in \(H\) as \(t\searrow 0\), then \(\{u_j\}\) is said to be an Abel basis of order \(\alpha\) in \(H\). The main result states the Abel basis property for the eigenvalue problem of the ordinary differential equation \[ \lambda u(x)+a(x)u^{(m)}(x)+Bu| _x=0,\quad x\in(0,1), \] with the boundary conditions \[ \lambda\left(\alpha_\nu u^{(m_\nu)}(0)+\beta_\nu u^{(m_\nu)}(1) +\sum_{i=1}^{N_\nu}\delta_{\nu i}u^{(m_\nu)}(x_{\nu i})+T_\nu u\right) +T_{\nu 0}u=0\text{ for }\nu=1,\dots,s, \] \[ \alpha_\nu u^{(m_\nu)}(0)+\beta_\nu u^{(m_\nu)}(1) +\sum_{i=1}^{N_\nu}\delta_{\nu i}u^{(m_\nu)}(x_{\nu i})+T_\nu u=0\text{ for }\nu=s+1,\dots,m, \] with \(m\geq 2\), \(a\) is a scalar function, \(B:W_2^m(0,1)\to L_2(0,1)\) is compact, \(x_{\nu i}\in (0,1)\), \(m_\nu\leq m-1\), \(\alpha_\nu\), \(\beta_\nu\), \(\delta_\nu\) are complex numbers, \(T_\nu\) and \(T_{\nu 0}\) are functionals in \(L_2(0,1)\). The actual assumptions and statements are too lengthy to be reproduced here. The important point is that the usual assumptions \(\text{arg }\omega_j(x)=\text{const}\) and \(\text{arg }(\omega_j(x)-\omega_k(x))=\text{const}\) for the roots of the characteristic equation are not needed.
