Synthesis of complete rational orthonormal bases with prescribed asymptotic order (Q5932271)

The author presents a construction method of orthonormal bases in \(L^2(R)\) of rational functions of prescribed asymptotic order that are also complete in Hardy spaces \(H_p\). The general method uses an arbitrary sequence \((a_n)_{n\geq 0}\) in the open right half-plane, so that \(\sum_{n}(1-|a_n|)=\infty\), and an \(m^{th}\) order real coefficients polynomial \(P(s)\) with roots in the open half-plane. Then \(\{ f_k {\}}_{k\geq 0}\), defined by \(f_k(s) = {\sqrt{2 \operatorname {Re}(a_{k+1})} \over P(s)(s+a_k)} \prod_{j=1}^k {s-\overline{a}_j \over s+a_j}\), is complete in \(H_p\) for all \(1\leq p < \infty\) and \(f_k(s)={\mathcal O}(s^{-(m+1)})\) as \(s\rightarrow\infty\). Next, using the Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization procedure, an orthonormal basis for \(L^2(R)\) (along the imaginary axis) is obtained. Then, by considering \(a_k=a\) and \(P(s)= {\sqrt{2} \over a}(s+a)\), respectively, \(P(s) = \sqrt{a\over b} {s+b \over a+b}\), the author explicitly constructs one-parameter and two-parameter rational orthonormal bases with asymptotic order 2.
