Fréchet spaces invariant under differential operators (Q2430134)

\textit{M. Langenbruch} and \textit{J. Voigt} proved in [Bull. Soc. R. Sci. Liège 69, No. 6, 387--393 (2000; Zbl 0989.46022)] that a Fréchet space of distributions \(E\) which is stable under differential operators is continuously included in \(\mathcal{C}^{\infty}\). The authors give extensions of this result to the ultradifferentiable setting. To do this, the assumption of invariance under differential operators has to be replaced by the stability under suitable differential operators of infinite order, as any class of ultradistributions of Roumieu type is a Fréchet space stable under differential operators. They also show that it suffices to assume that the Fréchet space is invariant under the action of a single elliptic differential operator \(P(D)\) (of finite order) satisfying some extra assumption. The obtained results are related to the problem of iterates, which roughly speaking consists in characterizing the functions in a given non-quasianalytic class in terms of the behaviour of the iterates of a fixed differential operator when acting on these functions.
