Spectral factorization of trigonometric polynomials and lattice geometry

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We formulate a conjecture concerning spectral factorization of a class of trigonometric polynomials of two variables and prove it for special cases. Our method uses relations between the distribution of values of a polynomial of two variables and the distributions of values of an associated family of polynomials of one variable. We suggest an approach to prove the full conjecture using relations between the distribution of values and the distribution of roots of polynomials.


It was shown by \textit{F. Riesz} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 146, 83--87 (1915; JFM 45.0408.01)] that if \(f(X)\) is a non-negative trigonometric polynomial having frequencies in the difference set \(F-F\), where \(F\) is an interval \([0,n]\), then \(f(X)=|g(X)|^2\), where \(g(X)\) is a trigonometrical polynomial with frequencies in \(F\). The author conjectures the following analogue of this result: if \(\alpha,\beta\) are real, and \(F\) is the set of lattice points \((x,y)\) in the region bounded by the lines \(\alpha x+\beta,\alpha x-\beta\), and \(f(X,Y)\) is a non-negative trigonometric polynomial having frequencies in \(F-F\), then \(f\) is a uniform limit of a sequence \(|f_n(X,Y)|^2\), where \(f_n\) are trigonometric polynomials with frequencies in \(F\). He proves this conjecture in the cases when \(\alpha\) is either rational or there exists a sequence of matrices \(g^{(n)}\in SL_2(Z)\) such that NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\lim_{n\to\infty}|g{(n)}_{21}+\alpha g{(n)}_{22}||g{(n)}_{22}|\log(|g{(n)}_{22}|)=0.NEWLINE\]
