On the pseudo-differential operator \((-x^{-1}D)^ \nu\) (Q1804769)

For a certain Fréchet space \(F\) consisting of complex-valued \(C^ \infty\) even functions defined on \(\mathbb{R}\) and rapidly decreasing as \(| x|\to\infty\), the author shows that if \(\nu\) is any complex number, (i) the pseudo-differential operator \((- x^{-1} D)^ \nu\) is an automorphism on \(F\), (ii) \(e^{- \alpha x}\), \(\text{Re } \alpha> 0\), is an eigenfunction of the pseudo-differential operator \((- x^{- 1} D)^ \nu\), (iii) for \(f\) in \(X\), a linear subspace of the Hilbert space \(L^ 2(\mathbb{R})\) generated by the even-order Hermité functions \((H_{2n}(x) e^{- x^ 2/2})\), \(n= 0, 1,2,\dots,\) \[ (- x^{- 1} D)^ \nu f(x)= \sum^ \infty_{ k= 0} \sum^ k_{j= 0} C_{2k} a_{n- j}(x^ 2- 2\nu^*)^ j e^{- x^ 2/2}, \] where \(C_{2k}\) and \(a_{n- j}\) are constants and \[ \nu^{*j}= \begin{cases} \nu(\nu-1)\cdots (\nu- j+ 1)\quad & \text{for}\quad j\geq 1,\;\nu\neq 1\\ 0\quad & \text{for}\quad j\geq 2,\;\nu= 1.\end{cases}. \]
