Transmutation techniques and observability for time-discrete approximation schemes of conservative systems (Q2350736)

The authors study the transmutation techniques and observability for time-discrete approximation schemes of conservative systems. They give several instances of classical time-discretization schemes that fit a particular abstract setting with a function \(f\) satisfying the following assumptions. \(f\) is \(C^{\infty}\) and satisfies \(f(0)=0\), \(f'(0)=1\), \(f\) is odd, \(f\) is real-valued and \(f:(-R,R)\rightarrow(-\pi,\pi)\), and for all \( \delta<R\), \(\inf\{f'(\alpha)\); \(|\alpha|\leq\delta\}>0\). Theorems with proofs are given. The authors present a reverse representation formula and discuss its application to uniform admissibility results and use it to prove optimality of the time estimate. Some open problems are discussed.
