Generalized spherical mean value operators on Euclidean space (Q824128)

The authors show that certain convolution equations can be seen as an extension of linear partial differential equations with certain coefficients. In the introduction, several citations confirm that such equations have various applications, as for example in the theory of holomorphic functions on convex domains. \textit{K.-L. Lim} [The spherical mean value operators on Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces. Medford, MA: Tufts University (PhD thesis) (2012)] proved that spherical mean value operators on Euclidean spaces are surjective convolution operators. In Section 2, the authors introduce the Neumann version of spherical mean value operators and its generalization. Convolution operators and distributions are defined as well. The next sections are devoted to the invertibility of distributions, the surjectivity of the Neumann mean value operator on the space of smooth functions and some other related topics.
