Measure theoretic trigonometric functions

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We study the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplacian Deltamu=fracddmufracddx for a Borel probability measure mu on the interval [0,1] by a technique that follows the treatment of the classical eigenvalue equation f=lambdaf with homogeneous Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions. For this purpose we introduce generalized trigonometric functions that depend on the measure mu. In particular, we consider the special case where mu is a self-similar measure like e.g. the Cantor measure. We develop certain trigonometric identities that generalize the addition theorems for the sine and cosine functions. In certain cases we get information about the growth of the suprema of normalized eigenfunctions. For several special examples of mu we compute eigenvalues of Deltamu and Linfty- and L2-norms of eigenfunctions numerically by applying the formulas we developed.
