No label defined (Q4528404)

Let \(r_1\), \(r_2\), \(r_m\) and \(\beta\) be real numbers with \(0< r_1< r_2< r_m\), and functional \(\mu(r)\), \(k(r)\), \(h(r)\) satisfy the following conditions: (i) \(\mu(r)\), \(k(r)\) and \(h(r)\) are nonnegative measurable, (ii) \(\int^r_0 \mu(s) ds<+\infty\) for every \(r< r_m\), \(\int^{r_m}_0 \mu(s) ds= +\infty\), (iii) \(0\leq k(r)\leq 1\), if \(0\leq r\leq r_m\), (iv) \(h(r)= 0\), if \(r\not\in[r_1, r_2]\), \(\int^{r_2}_{r_1} h(r) dr= 1\), (v) without \(\delta> 0\) such that \(k(r) h(r)= 0\), a.e. on \((r_2-\delta, r_2)\). The population operator \(A\) on the Hilbert space \(L^2[0, r_m]\) is defined as \[ (Ap)(r)= -p'(r)- \mu(r) p(r),\text{ for every }r\in [0, r_m] \] with the domain \[ D(A)= \Biggl\{p\mid p, p'+\mu p\in L^2[0, r_m],\;p(0)= \int^{r_2}_{r_1} k(r) h(r) p(r) dr\Biggr\}. \] In the note the author showed that the subspace \(\{p\in D(A)\mid(\lambda I-A)^np= 0\) for some natural number \(n\) and complex number \(\lambda\}\) is not dense in \(L^2[0,r_m]\).
