\(p\)-adic integral operators in wavelet bases (Q656288)

The authors study a class of integral operators acting on complex-valued functions on the field \(\mathbb Q_p\) of \(p\)-adic numbers. A typical example is the Vladimirov-Taibleson fractional differentiation operator. In an appropriate wavelet basis, the matrix elements of these operators are shown to be nonzero only on a finite number of main diagonals. Moreover, operators from this class preserve the natural filtration on the space of mean zero test functions on \(\mathbb Q_p\). The authors discuss the possibility to approximate some operators of real analysis simplified in wavelet bases by the above operators on \(L_2(\mathbb Q_p)\).
