Review text

The authors introduce some spaces of test functions in order to provide new spaces of generalized distributions as their topological dual spaces; these generalized distributions are supposed to be of some use. In order to do so, the authors closely follow the approach of \textit{G.~Björck} [Ark. Mat. 6, 351--407 (1966; Zbl 0166.36501)]. However, instead of the Fourier transform on \(L^1(\mathbb{R}^{n+1})\), the authors use the Weinstein transform on \(L^1(\mathbb{R}^n\times (0,\infty), x_{n+1}^{2\beta+1}d(x_1,\ldots,x_{n+1}))\), \(\beta>-1/2\) fixed, which plays the same role for the Weinstein operator as does the Fourier transform for the Laplace operator. For suitable non-negative functions \(\omega\) on \(\mathbb{R}^n\times (0,\infty)\), the space of test functions \(\mathcal{D}_\omega\), as well as the spaces \(\mathcal{E}_\omega\) and \(\mathcal{S}_\omega\), are introduced analogously to Björck [loc. cit., Chapter 1] along with some of the corresponding properties, where one has to replace partial derivatives by (powers) of the Weinstein operator. Unfortunately, the results of the present paper are quite unmotivated. Since the arguments are mutatis mutandis the same as in the proofs of the corresponding results by Björck [loc. cit.], the fact that the paper is written in a rather poor style, does not weigh too heavy. For example, while the authors' intention is to establish generalized distributions as continuous linear functionals on suitable test function spaces, they do not explicitly introduce any topology on these spaces of test functions. Additionally, the authors do not give any concrete application of the generalized distributions they introduce, but close their paper by referring to 13~articles written by them and collaborators, items [31--43] from the list of references, ``in each of which the reader can find some other presumably novel directions of further researches along the lines which we have developed herein.
