Strong boundary values, analytic functionals, and nonlinear Paley-Wiener theory (Q2750964)

The authors introduce a notion of boundary values for functions along real analytic boundaries without any restriction on the growth of the functions. These boundaries are analytic functionals or (in the local setting) hyperfunctions. This booklet is mostly self contained. It starts in section 2. with an introduction to analytic functionals and hyperfunctions. Then in section 3. analytic functionals as boundary values are considered. Firstly the notion of strong boundary values is introduced and some properties of these boundary values are investigated. Then the classical case of solutions of partial differential equations is discussed.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEIn section 4. a nonlinear Paley-Wiener theory is developed, which is for nonconvex carriers the equivalent of Martineaus theory for convex carriers. Section 5. is the central section. Here the notion of strong boundary values is presented in context of hyperfunctions. It is independent of any differential equation the function in question may satisfy. In sections 6. and 7. the case of boundary values of solutions of differential equations along non charcteristic boundaries is studied and it is compared with other notions of boundary values. In section 9. the results are applied to the classical (one-dimensional) reflection principle of Schwarz. This is an interesting and well written booklet which contains many new results and it is very recommendable for mathematicians interested in this field.
