Finding solution subspaces of the Laplace and heat equations isometric to spaces of real functions, and some of their applications (Q1668090)

The authors recall the definitions of the Abel-Poisson nonnegative delta-kernel \[ P_y(x)=\frac{y}{\pi (y^2+x^2)} \] and of the Gauss-Weierstrass nonnegative delta-kernel \[ W_y(x) =\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\pi y}} e^{-x^2/(4y)}. \] In the abstract, they write, ``We single out subspaces of harmonic functions in the upper half-plane coinciding with spaces of convolutions with the Abel-Poisson kernel and subspaces of solutions of the heat equation coinciding with spaces of convolutions with the Gauss-Weierstrass kernel that are isometric to the corresponding spaces of real functions defined on the set of real numbers. It is shown that, due to isometry, the main approximation characteristics of functions and function classes in these subspaces are equal to the corresponding approximation characteristics of functions and function classes of one variable.'' Their results are presented in the form of a lot of formulas, equalities or inclusions, which cannot be described here.
