The \(p\)-adic differential-integral type operator (Q1313675)

The author introduces a class of linear operators \(T_ g\) depending on a kernel function \(g\) which gives a unified treatment of the Butzer-Wagner theory of differentiation on \(p\)-adic groups. For example, if \(g(x)=x^ n\) then \(T_ g\) is the \(p\)-adic derivative operator of order \(n\), and if \(g(x)=x^{-n}\) then \(T_ g\) is the \(p\)-adic integral operator of order \(n\). The author shows that \(T_ g\) is a closed linear operator and that \(T_{1/g}\) is the inverse operator of \(T_ g\). He also examines Lipschitz spaces and best approximation by generalized Walsh polynomials in this context.
