Abstract: We derive asymptotic information on the iterates of a Volterra convolution operator acting on L^p(0,1), subject to a mild smoothness condition on the kernel. In particular, an asymptotically equal sequence of rank 1 operators is obtained, leading to a simple asymptotic formula for the operator norms of the iterates.

Review text

If \(1\leq p<\infty\), let \(L^p(0,1)\) denote \(\{f\) Lebesgue measurable on \((0,1):\| f\|_p<\infty\}\), where \[ \| f\|_p= \Biggl(\int^1_0 |f(t)|^p\,dt\Biggr)^{1/p}. \] The convolution \((f* g)\) of measurable functions \(f\), \(g\) on \((0,1)\) is defined by \[ (f *g)(x)= \int^x_0 f(t)g(x- t)\,dt= (g *f)(x),\quad 0< x\leq 1, \] and the convolution iterates \(f^{(*j)}\), \(j= 1,2,3,\dots\), of measurable function \(f\) are defined by \(f^{(*j)}(x)= (f* f^{(*j-1)})(x)= (f^{(*j-1)}* f)(x)\), \(j= 2,3,4,\dots\), \(f^{(*,1)}= f\). The Volterra operator \(V_k\) is defined in terms of the kernel \(k\) by \[ V_k(f)(x)=(k*f) (x)= \int^x_0 k(x- t)f(t)\,dt, \] and the operator iterates \(V^m_k\), \(m= 1,2,3,\dots\), are representable by \(V^m_k(f)(x)= \int^x_0 k^{(*,m)}(x- t)f(t)\,dt\). The main results of this paper include the following statements. If \(k\in L^1(0,1)\) is representable as \(k(t)= t^r\kappa(t)\), where \(r> -1\), \(\kappa(0)\neq 0\), \(\kappa\) has derivative \(\kappa'(0)\) at \(t= 0\), and if \(h(t)= \kappa(0) t^r e^{(\kappa'(0)/\kappa(0))t}\), then for all parameters \(p\), \(1\leq p<\infty\), the asymptotic relation \(V^m_k\sim V^m_h\) (as \(m\to\infty\)) is valid, so that \(\| V^m_k- V^m_h\|_{p\to p}/\| V^m_k\|_{p\to p}\to 0\) (as \(m\to\infty\)), where \(\| T\|_{p\to p}\) is the norm of operator \(T: L^p(0,1)\to L^p(0,1)\). Statements of the introduction of the paper indicate that results of earlier papers by the author and various others involve similar asymptotic estimates for special cases of the Volterra operators in \(L^2(0,1)\).
