Ralston, J. Rovnyak (USA), and others. The conference meetings were held in the building of the National Academy of Public Administration under the President of Ukraine. The topics discussed were concerned with problems in both modern Mathematical Analysis and Mechanics. There were 8 Mathematical Analysis sections including the following: the geometry of Banach and Krein spaces; evolution equations in Banach spaces; the theory of operators on Hilbert and Krein spaces and its applications; non-selfadjoint operators and algebraic problems of Functional Analysis; spectral theory of diﬀerential and diﬀerence operators; direct and inverse problems; applications of spectral theory to problems in analysis; control theory and the theory of stochastic processes; nonlinear analysis; harmonic analysis, the analysis of functions of inﬁnitely many variables, generalized functions. The problems in Mechanics were discussed in the corresponding section. Opening talks containing recollections about the life and the work of M.G. Krein, importance of his scientiﬁc heritage for the development of the modern mathematics and for the applications were given by the Head of the Southern Scientiﬁc Center, academician of the National Academy of Sciences, S.A. Andronati, Director of the Institute of Mathematics, academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, A.M. Samoilenko, Rector of the Odessa National I.I. Mechnikov University, academician of the Higher School Academy, V.A. Smintina, as well as the students and collaborators of M.G. Krein, – V.M. Adamyan, D.Z. Arov, Yu.M. Berezansky, I. Gohberg, M.L. Gorbachuk, H. Langer. All 25 plenary talks discussed the inﬂuence of ideas and scientiﬁc results of M.G. Krein on subsequent developments of diﬀerent directions in the modern analysis, and applications of the ideas and the results in various branches of science and technology. M.G. Krein was a phenomenally gifted mathematician. His way to science was equally extraordinary. His life as a scientist and a person reﬂects dramatic events of Soviet totalitarian times. Let us shortly describe milestones of the life and work of this brilliant scientist, a world ﬁgure in mathematics. He was born in Kiev on April 3, 1907, in a modest income family that was raising seven children. M.G. Krein had exhibited his extraordinary mathematical abilities in his teens. Already when he was 14, he attended lectures and scientiﬁc seminars conducted by D.O. Grave and B.M. Delone at Kiev University and Kiev Polytechnic Institute. At the age of 17, inﬂuenced by the work of M. Gorky “My Universities”, he decided that it was the time to start his own “universities” and, together with his friend, he went to Odessa to join one of circus troupes, for he had a dream of becoming an acrobat. However, the fate had its way, and saved to the world, in the person of M.G. Krein, not an acrobat but a prominent mathematician whose inﬂuence on the development of mathematics can not be overestimated. In Odessa, he met N.G. Chebotarev, a famous algebraist and a

wonderful person, who conducted research in Odessa University. Having discovered Krein’s mathematical gifts, Nikolai Grigorievich Chebotarev achieved in getting, from the Department of Education, a permission for admitting M.G. Krein, who was 19, to a Doctorate Program, although Krein did not have even a high school diploma, to say nothing about a university degree. In his “Mathematical Autobiography”, N.G. Chebotarev talking about 17 year old M.G. Krein, recalled that he “without having graduated from a high school, had brought a personal work with a very distinguished content”. N.G. Chebotarev was very proud of his ﬁrst student and regarded him as “one of the best mathematicians in Ukraine”. In 1931, M.G. Krein has obtained a Professor position at the Odessa University. The degree of Doctor in Physics and Mathematics was awarded to him at the age of 31 by Moscow State University without even a requirement of submitting a thesis. Shortly after that, in 1939, he was elected a corresponding member to the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. The early ﬂourishing of M.G. Krein’s talent as a scientist was accompanied by as early opening of his pedagogical talent. At the age of 25, he started, in Odessa University, a scientiﬁc seminar that soon became one of the leading centers for the research in functional analysis, a young branch of mathematics at the time. During this period, M.G. Krein’s mathematical interests include oscillation matrices and kernels, geometry of Banach spaces, the Nevanlinna–Pick interpolation problem, extension of positive deﬁnite functions and their applications, spectral theory of linear operators. At the same time, M.G. Krein was working in the Mathematics Research Center at the Khar’kov University (1934–1940), just before the World War II in Kiev where he headed the Department of Functional Analysis at the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (one of the researchers working there during the period of 1940–1941 was great S. Banach with whom M.G. Krein had scientiﬁc contacts since his trip to L’vov in 1940). Many of his results obtained at that time now became classic and can be found in main monographs and textbooks on functional analysis. During the World War II, M.G. Krein headed the Chair of Theoretical Mechanics at Kuibyshev Industrial Institute (Russia). In 1944, he returned to Odessa. He loved this city, knew history of its streets, was fond of the local “Odessa language”. However, shortly after that, M.G. Krein was laid oﬀ the Odessa University. His closest friend B.Ya. Levin, a mathematician, could not also work there any more. This was a consequence of the antisemitic policies conducted by the Stalin regime and the corruption of the University administration. A principled scientiﬁc position of these scientists, their opposition to pushing through illiterate doctorate theses, was regarded as an indication of Zionism. During the period of 1944–1954, M.G. Krein worked in the Department of Theoretical Mechanics at the Odessa Marine Engineering Institute. Starting in 1954 and until the retirement, Mark Grigorievich headed the Chair of Theoretical Mechanics in Odessa Institute of Civil Engineering. After his retirement he worked as a consultant in the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of Ukr. SSR.

Regardless the diﬃculties pertaining these times, he has founded a number of important directions in mathematics and mechanics, became a world famous scientist. Together with theoretical value of his results, their importance in applications has also increased, especially those related to parametric resonance. V. Veksler, a renowned physicist, have remarked that “without works of M.G. Krein, we would not have a synchrophasotron”. In a popular book by N. Wiener, a father of cybernetics, “I Am a Mathematician”, the name of M.G. Krein goes together with the name of A.M. Kolmogorov, which was a way to acknowledge the value of their researches in the prediction and control theory during and shortly after the war. Because of the political situation that was in the USSR at that time, M.G. Krein was never elected an academician of the Academy of Sciences, although he became Honor member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1968), a foreign member of the US National Academy of Sciences (1979). He was awarded with a Wolf Prize in Mathematics (1982), which is an analogue of the Nobel Prize, and the State Prize of the Ukrainian SSR for Science and Technology (1987). M.G. Krein is an author of more than 300 papers and monographs all of which with no exception were published abroad in translation, some of them several times. These works are of an excellent analytic level and quality, broad in topic, and have opened a number of new directions in mathematics, while signiﬁcantly enriched traditional directions. The following is an incomplete list of branches in mathematics where M.G. Krein’s research became fundamental and, to an extent, have determined the direction for a later development: oscillation kernels and matrices, the moment problem, orthogonal polynomials and approximation theory, cones and convex sets in Banach spaces, operators on spaces with two norms, extension theory for Hermitian operators, the theory of extension of positive deﬁnite functions and spiral arcs, the theory of entire operators, integral operators, direct and inverse spectral problems for inhomogeneous strings and Sturm–Liouville equations, the trace formula and the scattering theory, the method of directing functionals, stability theory for diﬀerential equations, Wiener–Hopf and Toeplitz integrals and singular integral operators, the theory of operators on spaces with an indeﬁnite metric, indeﬁnite extension problems, non-selfadjoint operators, characteristic operator-valued functions and triangular models, etc. The participants of the conference dedicated to the 100th birthday anniversary of the famous mathematician unanimously agreed with the initiative of Yu.M. Berezansky, academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, to install a memorial plaque on the building of Odessa National I.I. Mechnikov University. A.M. Samoilenko, academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, announced that Krein Prize would be founded in 2007 to be awarded for outstanding merits in the area of functional analysis. With an initiative of I.Ts. Gohberg (Israel), a student of Mark Grigorievich Krein, the publisher “Birkh¨ auser” will publish a complete collection of works of the conference.

Bilateral Asymptotic Solution of One Class of Dual Integral Equations of the Static Contact Problems for the Foundations Inhomogeneous in Depth Sergey Aizikovich, Victor Alexandrov and Irina Trubchik On the occasion of M.G. Krein’s 100th birthday

Abstract. An article is devoted to the method of reduction of one class of dual integral equations, which appear while solving the mixed problems of elastic theory, to the solution of inﬁnite algebraic equation systems in accordance with the method described by Alexandrov V.M. For example, such dual equations arise in solving the contact problems of elasticity theory for the layer inhomogeneous in depth or inhomogeneous half-space. The approximate solution of such equations is reduced to the solution of ﬁnite algebraic equation systems. It is proved that the solution, constructed in such way, is asymptotically exact as for small, as for large values of dimensionless geometrical parameter of the problem. The equations generated by the Fourier and Hankel integral transforms are provided as an example. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 45E05; Secondary 74E05. Keywords. Asymptotic solution, dual integral equations, contact problems, inhomogeneous media.

1. Introduction The continuous variation of mechanical properties in one of the coordinates is typical for many bodies; it depends on the conditions of their creation and exploitation. The 80s’ development of modern technologies has increased the interest to contact problems for the continuously inhomogeneous bodies, which allows to get material’s coatings with mechanical properties continuously variable in depth, This work was completed with the support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, project nos. 05-08-18270a, 06-08-01595a, 07-08-00730-a.

radius and angular coordinate (depending on the geometry of the foundation). The tribology development has led to the expansion of theoretical researches of nonclassical contact problems of elasticity theory. In particular, one of the main tribology problems is the contact problem for the bodies with coatings. The characteristic property of inhomogeneous materials is the presence of additional sources of stress concentration. The stress concentration in homogeneous bodies appears in areas of sharp variations in body’s geometry and loading. There is additional stress in inhomogeneous materials, which arises in areas of sharp changes of physical and mechanical properties of the material (elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio and others), that is along the adjoin surfaces of homogeneous elements. The detailed survey of the main results of statics problems for multilayered media is given in the monograph [1] by Nikishin V.S. The reduction of contact problems to the integral equation (IE), while considering the model in the inhomogeneous media, is complicated with the necessity of solving the boundary problem for diﬀerential equation system with variable coeﬃcient for the construction of the transforms’ kernel. One of the simplest models of the foundation is the homogeneous layer or wedge coupled with nondeformable foundation. It was found that integrable singularities can appear in the vicinity of mutual top of two joint wedges. The type of these integrable singularities depends on material’s characteristics and local geometry of the joint. Moreover, kernel transforms of IE for inhomogeneous media in average case are constructed by numerical methods, which is opposite to homogeneous media (half-space, layer). [2]. The numerically constructed kernel transform is approximated by an expression of a special type, so that it is possible to obtain a closed solution of the approximate integral equation. It is shown that the resulting approximate solution is asymptotically accurate as for small as for large values of dimensionless parameter λ of each problems. It gives the opportunity to investigate the inﬂuence of arbitrary changing laws of inhomogeneity on the stress-strain state distributed within the depth of the layer or half-space.

2. The reduction of contact problems of inhomogeneous media to the dual IE The equation of spatial elasticity theory in cylindrical coordinate system is used to reduce mixed problem to the dual IE. When Hook’s law ratios are substituted in these equations, we get the system of diﬀerential equations with variable coeﬃcient for the functions – transforms of integral transformation of Fourier, Hankel or Mellin (depending on the media geometry). It is convenient to write this system in vector form: → − → − dY = AY (2.1) dx

The form and the rank of the matrix A depends on the geometry of the inhomogeneous medium, and they are provided in works [3]–[5]. The solution of the vector diﬀerential equation (2.1) is constructed with the method suggested in [2]. The method is based on the isolation of the exponential components in Green matrix construction.

The application of inverse integral transform in (2.3) allows obtaining of the sought values of displacement and stress. The eﬃciency of this method can be illustrated with the example of equations generated by the Fourier and Hankel transforms. Other dual equations were considered by the authors in [5]. This paper is a continuation of [6] and [3]. In particular the component Y 1 corresponds here to the kernel transform of the vertical displacement function and denoted as K(u).

where E(z) is Young modulus and ν(z) is Poisson’s ratio, it can be demonstrated (Aizikovich and Aleksandrov, [7]), that the kernel transform L(u) has the following properties 3

(3.2) (3.3)

where A, B, C, D, E are some constants. For multilayered media the property of a compliance function similar to (3.2) was noticed by Privarnikov [8]. The property (3.2) means that the value K(0) for the problem under consideration is independent of the way in which elastic moduli vary in the half-space from z = 0 to z → −∞ and it is determined only by their values for z = 0 and z = −H. Graphically it looks as follows: if the set of curves describing the certain laws of the elastic moduli variation with depth have identical values on the surface of the half-space and as z → −∞, then the graphs of corresponding transforms K(u) of the problem will issue from a common point K(0) = A and converge at one point K(∞) = 1. Let us introduce the following deﬁnitions: Deﬁnition 3.1. The function K(αλ) belongs to the class ΠN if it has the form K(αλ) = LΠN (αλ) ≡

N α2 + A2i λ−2 ; (Bi − Bk )(Ai − Ak ) = 0 for i = k. (3.4) α2 + Bi2 λ−2 i=1

Here Ai , Bi (i = 1, . . . , N ) are certain complex constants. Deﬁnition 3.2. The function K(αλ) belongs to the class ΣM if it has the form K(αλ) = LΣM (αλ) ≡

Deﬁnition 3.3. The function K(u) belongs to the class SN,M , it has the form K(αλ) = LΠN (αλ) + LΣM (αλ).

(3.6)

We show that the expressions of the form (3.6) can approximate K(u) with the properties (3.2) and (3.3) using the following lemma ([9], [10]): Lemma 3.4. Let an even real function φ(u) be continuous on the whole real axis and vanish at inﬁnity, then it can be approximated in C(−∞, ∞) a series of functions of the form −1 φk = u2 + Dk2 . Theorem 3.5. Provided that if the function K(u) possesses the properties (3.2) and (3.3), it allows approximation by the expressions of the form (3.6). Proof. We select constants Ai and Bi (i = 1, 2, . . . , N ) in (3.5) such that N

A2i Bi−2 = A.

(3.7)

We consider the function Ls (u) =

K(u) − LN Π (u) . |u|

(3.8)

On the basis of properties (3.1) and condition (3.7), it follows that Ls (u) satisﬁes the condition of 3.4. This means that the following representation holds Ls (u) =

For a numerical realization the improving approximation of K(u) by functions of the class ΠN can be achieved successfully by using the following algorithm. 2 2 2 We map function K(u)

by mapping γ = u /(u + c ) from interval (0; ∞) into segment (0; 1) (u = c γ/(γ − 1)). Here c is a positive constant, which should be selected to build the optimal approximation of function K(u). As initial value c can be taken c = u∗ , where u∗ such as ∗ K(u ) = 0, 5 max K(u) + min K(u) . u∈[0;∞)

u∈[0;∞)

Here c is a parameter of mapping, which moves the point u = c of axes (0; ∞) into the point u = 0, 5 of segment (0; 1). We approximate the functions K(γ)

By determining the roots of the numerator and denominator in (3.13), we ﬁnd the desired values of Ai , Bi (i = 1, 2, . . . , N ). Such method permits avoiding the presence of an N -triple root in the denominator of the approximation found.

and the function B(γ, x) is a solution of a second-order linear equation with respect to x that satisﬁes the condition of the theorem of Fuchs [12], namely, L − γ 2 B(γ, x) = 0, Lγ B = r(x) s(x)B + t(x)B, a ≤ x ≤ b. (4.3) Here s(x) > 0 for x ∈ (a, b), and r(x) is of deﬁnite sign for x ∈ (a, b). Suppose also that the functions B and B are bounded as x → b, and α1 B + α2 B = 0 at x = a. Moreover, the numbers γk make up the countable set of zeros of some transcendental equation, and a ≤ γk < γk+1 ≤ b. We consider the dual integral equation (the dual series-equation) b Q(γ)ρ(γ)K(λγ)B(γ, x)dh(γ) = f (x),

Here the function ρ(γ) is such that for K(λγ) ≡ 1 the solution of (4.4) is known. Let K(γ) denote the properties (3.2), (3.3). We have the Theorem [13]. Theorem 4.1. If K(γ) has the properties (3.2)–(3.3), then it admits approximation by expressions of the form Σ K(λγ) = KN (λγ) + K∞ (λγ).

Below, the integral operator corresponding to a function K(γ) in the class X will also be denoted by X. Using (4.5), we rewrite (4.7) in operator form: ΠN q + Σ∞ q = f.

(4.8)

S. Aizikovich, V. Alexandrov and I. Trubchik

Deﬁnition 4.2. Condition A will be said to hold for equation (4.4) if when K(γ) ∈ ΠN one can construct a closed solution for it by following [14]. We denote it by q = Π−1 N f,

x ∈ (c, d).

(4.9)

In other words, Condition A means that for functions f (x) in some class W(c, d) of functions there exists a function q(x) in some class V(c, d) of functions such that (4.9) holds. It follows from the representation (4.9) that ||q||V(c,d) ≤ m(ΠN )||f ||W(c,d) ,

m(ΠN ) = const .

Below, we let m(X) be some constant depending on the concrete form of the function belonging to X. In [6] conditions are obtained under which if λ → 0, then the operator Π−1 N ΣM of equation (4.4) is a contraction operator. 4.1. The proof of solution (4.9) accuracy for the small values of parameter λ We will show that under certain conditions (4.9) is an asymptotically exact solution of Eq. (4.8) in the limit λ → 0. Let us ﬁrst examine the question of the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the dual equations (4.4) for K(γ) of class SN,M in this case Eqs. (4.4) can be recast as ΠN q + ΣM q = f.

(4.10)

Let us ﬁnd conditions under which the operator Π−1 N ΣM in (4.4) is contraction operator. For this we will use the following assertions. Lemma 4.3. Consider a bilinear form of the type b γρ(γ)M(γ, ξ)B(γ, x) α ˜ ia (ξ, x) ≡ dh(γ). γ 2 + a2 a ˜ ia (ξ, x) If γρ(γ) = r−1 (γ), M(γ, x) = B(γ, x), and a is a real number, then α admits the representation B− (ia, ξ)B+ (ia, x), ξ < x, α ˜ ia (ξ, x) = B+ (ia, ξ)B− (ia, x), x < ξ, where B− (ia, x) and B+ (ia, x) are linearly dependent solutions of (4.3) such that B− (ia, ξ) → 0 and B+ (ia, ξ) → ∞ as a → ∞. The assertion of Lemma 4.3 follows from Lemma 28.1 of [15] by the substitution γr = ia in the latter. Without loss of generality we set M = 1 in (4.10). Lemma 4.4. If condition A and the hypotheses of Lemma 4.3 are satisﬁed for (4.4), then the operator Σ1 q in (4.10) admits a series representation (Σ1 q corresponds to K1Σ (λγ)) ∞ Σ1 q = βk B(γk , x) (4.11) k=0

and the coeﬃcients βk of the series expansion have the form ⎛ d d −1 Cr λ ⎝C(a) q(ξ)B(γk , ξ)dξ − s(c)Wca (B+ , B) q(ξ)B− (a, ξ)dξ βk (a) = 2 γk − a2 c c ⎞ d + s(d)Wda (B− , B) q(ξ)B+ (a, ξ)dξ ⎠ , a = iD1 λ−1 . (4.12) c

Here γ0 , γ1 , . . . , γn , . . . the set of all eigenvalues of problem (4.3) with the respective boundary conditions, B(γk , x) are the corresponding normalized eigenfunctions, C(a) is a bounded constant which is ﬁxed for each (4.3), and which is related with the Wronskian W (B+ , B− ) of the functions B+ (a, x) and B− (a, x) by the relation W [B+ (a, x), B− (a, x)] = C(a)s−1 (x)

(4.13)

and we used the notation Wba (A, B) = A(a, b)B (γk , b) − B(γk , b)A (a, b).

(4.14)

Proof. To prove Lemma 4.4, we write the representation of the expansion coeﬃcients βk −1

d B(a, x)B(ib, x) s(x) dx = 2 (B (a, x)B(ib, x) − B(a, x)B (ib, x)) r(x) a + b2 c

where B(a, x) and B(ib, x) are two arbitrary solutions of (4.3) corresponding to the values γ = a and γ = ib, we recast expression (4.15) as ⎧ x)B ⎪ + (a, ξ (γk , x) ⎪ s(x)B− (a, ξ) [B ⎪ ⎨ − B(γk , x)B+ (a, x) c , ξ < x 1 Ak (a, ξ) = 2 (4.16) s(x)B 2 + (a, ξ) [B− (a, x)B ⎪ (γk , x) γk − a ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ − B(γk , x)B− (a, x) d , x < ξ ξ

The assertion of Lemma 4.4 follows from (4.16) using (4.13) and (4.14).

We now consider (4.3). Setting y(x) = B(x) s(x), we obtain for y(x) an equation of the form y − γ 2 q(x)y = 0, where q(x) = p(x) − R(x)γ 0.25(s s−1 )2 .

S. Aizikovich, V. Alexandrov and I. Trubchik We have the:

Lemma 4.5. Under the assumptions of Lemma 4.4, the operator Π−1 N ΣM is a contraction operator in the space V (c, d) provided: 1. q (x) is continuous for x ∈ [a, b]; 2. q(x) ≥ 0 for x ∈ [a, b] for 0 < λ < λ∗ , where λ∗ is a ﬁxed value of λ. Proof. To prove this lemma, let us estimate with respect to λ the coeﬃcients βk in (4.12). We use the notation F (a, c) = B− (a, ξ)Wca (B+ , B),

Φ(a, d) = B+ (a, ξ)Wda (B− , B).

According to Theorem 2 of [16] if condition 1) and 2) are satisﬁed, then (4.17) has a solution of the form y1,2 (x, γ) = q −1/4 (x)E± (x0 , x) 1 + γ −1 ε1,2 (x, γ) , ⎧ ⎫ x

⎨ ⎬ (4.18) q(t)dt . E± (x0 , x) = exp ±γ ⎩ ⎭ x0

For the functions ε1,2 , the following bounds hold: |εj (x, γ)| ≤ c,

x ∈ [a, b], γ ≥ γ0 > 0, j = 1, 2

where the constant c does not depend on x, γ. The asymptotic relations (4.18) can be diﬀerentiated, i.e., (x, γ) = ±q 1/4 (x)E± (x0 , x) 1 + γ −1 ε˜1,2 (x, γ) , y1,2

(4.19)

(4.20)

where the functions ε˜1,2 , are subject to estimates of the form (4.19). Using (4.18) and (4.20) and taking into account that in (4.11) γ = D1 λ−1 , we have $−1/2 #

E− (c, ξ) (4.21) F (γ, c) = s(ξ)s(c) q(ξ)q(c) % & × B (γk , c) 1 + γ −1 ε1 (ξ, γ) − B(γk , c)γ 1/2 q(c) 1 + γ −1 ε2 (ξ, γ) . Since c < ξ, the behavior of F (γ, c) determines the factor of the form E− (c, ξ), and from (4.21). It follows that there is a γ0 such that for γ ≥ γ0 > 0 the function F (γ, c) tends to zero. An analogous estimate also holds for Φ(γ, c), taking into account that d > ξ. Since the coeﬃcients of the expansion (4.11) have the form (4.12), and since ˜ (λ ˜ = D1 γ −1 ) lie the function B(γk , x) are orthonormal, we obtain for 0 < λ < λ, 0 bound ∞ Σ1 q V (c,d) ≤ ak ≤ λM ∗ , λ → 0 (0 ≤ λ ≤ λ1 ) k=0

where the constant M ∗ does not depend on λ. This proves the assertion of the lemma.

Based on Lemma 4.5, we apply the Banach contraction principle to the equation −1 q + Π−1 N ΣM q = ΠN f

to obtain the following result. Theorem 4.6. Under the assumptions of Lemma 4.5, if K(γ) belongs to the class SN,M then equation (4.4) are uniquely solvable in the space V (c, d) and the following bound holds: ||q(x)||V (c,d) ≤ m((ΠN , ΣM ) ||f ||W (c,d) . Furthermore, we have: Theorem 4.7. Suppose conditions 1) and 2) of Lemma 4.5 and condition A are satisﬁed, and K(γ) belongs to the class ΠN , with γρ(γ) = r−1 (γ) then for 0 < λ < λ∗ , where λ∗ is a ﬁxed value of λ, equation (4.2) is uniquely solvable in the space V (c, d), and the following bound holds: ||q(x)||V (c,d) ≤ m((ΠN , Σ∞ ) ||f ||W (c,d) . Theorem 4.7 is a consequence of Theorems 4.1 and 4.6 and is proved with the aid of the well-known procedure of perturbation theory, based on the method of successive approximations, in the same way is in [15]. 4.2. The proof of solution (4.9) accuracy for the large values of parameter λ We investigate conditions under which (4.9) is an asymptotically exact solution of (4.4) as λ → ∞. For this we follow the scheme presented earlier and determine conditions under which the operator Π−1 N ΣM of equation (4.4) is a contraction operator. Everywhere below we assume that the solutions of (4.3) satisfy the symmetry condition B(γ, x) = B(x, γ). (4.22) According to (4.22), the behavior of B(γ, x) as γ → 0 is determined by the behavior of the corresponding solution of (4.3) as x → 0. We reduce equation (4.3) to selfadjoint form; to do this we multiply it by the function r−1 (x). From (4.3) we obtain

Lγ B(γ, x) ]−1− Q(x)B, = [s(x)B 2 Q(x) = t(x) − γ r (x).

s(x) > 0, a ≤ x ≤ b,

(4.23)

Assume that the coeﬃcients s(x) and Q(x) of (4.23) are analytic in the disk |x| < R. Then every solution B(x) of (4.23) is analytic in this disk, i.e., can be expanded in a power series convergent in the disk |x| < R [7]. Lemma 4.8. The operator Π−1 N ΣM of equation (4.4) is a contraction operator acting in the space V (c, d) if the coeﬃcients s(x) and Q(x) of (4.23) are analytic in the disk |x| < R for λ > λa , where λa is some ﬁxed value of λ, and the symmetry condition (4.22) holds.

S. Aizikovich, V. Alexandrov and I. Trubchik

Proof. To prove the lemma we get an estimate with respect to λ for the coeﬃcients in the eigenfunction expansion in problem (4.3) under the corresponding boundary conditions (the coeﬃcients βk in the expression (4.23) of [6]). It follows from the condition of the lemma and the symmetry condition (4.22) that there is a λa such that for λ > λa the solutions B± (a, x) can be represented as a power series in λ−1 that converges in the disk |λ| > λa . This gives us that Σ1 q V (c,d) ≤

ak < λ−1 M a , λ → ∞ (λ > λa )

k=0 a

where the constant M does not depend on λ. Thus, λ can be chosen so that Π−1 N ΣM is a contraction operator under the condition of the given lemma (λa = M a ). We consider separately the case when x = 0 is a regular singular point for (4.23), i.e., s(x) = xϕ(x), ϕ(0) = 0, (4.24) where ϕ(x) > 0 is a function continuous on [a, b]. Note that a function s(x) of the form (4.24) satisﬁes the conditions of the Fuchs theorem. Lemma 4.9. ([17], Russian p. 628). Let B+ (x) and B− (x) be two linearly independent solutions of (4.23) with coeﬃcient s(x) satisfying condition (4.24). In this case if B+ = 0 then B− (x) has a logarithmic singularity at x = 0. If B+ (x) has an nth-order zero at x = 0 (n > 0), then B− (x) has a pole of order n at x = 0. Lemma 4.10. Suppose that the coeﬃcient s(x) of equation (4.23) has the form (4.24), condition (4.22) holds, and, moreover, s(c)B(γk , c) = s(d)B(γk , d). In this case the operator Π−1 N ΣM of equation (4.4) is a contraction operator acting in the space V (c, d) for λ > λa , where λa is some ﬁxed value of λ. Proof. We estimate the coeﬃcients βk in (2.2) of [6]. It follows from Lemma 4.9 and condition (4.22) that there is a λa such that for λ > λa the condition B+ (0) = 0 implies that Σ1 q V (c,d) ≤

|ak | ≤ M1 λ−1 ln λ, λ → ∞ (λ > λa )

and if B+ (x) has a zero of order n at x → 0, then M1 λ−1 ln λ is replaced in (4.25) by M2 λ−1 . Applying the contraction mapping principle to the equation −1 q + Π−1 N ΣM q = ΠN f

we get on the basis of Lemmas 4.8 and 4.10 a proof of the existence and uniqueness of a solution of (4.4) under the restrictions imposed.

Thus, we have proved Theorem 4.11. Equation (4.4) is uniquely solvable in the space V (c, d) for K(γ) of class SN,M under the conditions of Lemma 4.8 or 4.10, and q(x) V (c,d) ≤ m(ΠN , ΣM ) f W (c,d) .

(4.26)

Moreover, we have Theorem 4.12. Equation (4.4) is uniquely solvable in the space V (c, d) for K(γ) having the properties (3.2)–(3.3) when γρ(γ) = r−1 (γ), Condition A holds for γ > γ a , and the conditions of Lemma 4.8 or 4.10 hold for λ < λa (λa being some ﬁxed value of λ), and the estimate (2.5) holds with ΣM replaced by Σ∞ . Theorem 4.12 follows from Theorems 4.1 and 4.11, and can be proved with the help of a device known in perturbation theory and based on the method of successive approximations, just as in [18].

Abstract. In the present paper we extend results of M.G. Krein associated to the spectral problem for Krein systems to systems with matrix-valued accelerants with a possible jump discontinuity at the origin. Explicit formulas for the accelerant are given in terms of the matrizant of the system in question.

1. Introduction The following result is due to M.G. Krein, see [14]: Theorem 1.1. Let T > 0, and let k be a scalar continuous and hermitian function on the interval [−T, T] such that for each 0 < τ ≤ T the corresponding convolution integral operator Tτ on L1 [0, τ ], τ (Tτ f )(t) = f (t) − k(t − s)f (s) ds, 0 ≤ t ≤ τ, (1.1) 0

is invertible. Let γτ (t, s) denote the resolvent kernel τ γτ (t, s) − k(t − v)γτ (v, s)dv = k(t − s),

0 ≤ t, s ≤ τ.

We call (1.6) a Krein system when, as in (1.5), the function a is given by a(τ ) = γτ (τ, 0), where γτ (t, s) is the resolvent kernel corresponding to some k on [−T, T] with the properties described in the Theorem 1.1. In that case, following Krein, the function k is called an accelerant for (1.6), and we shall refer to a as the potential associated with the accelerant k. The functions P(τ, ·), P∗ (τ, ·) are called Krein orthogonal functions at τ associated to the weight δ − k, where δ is the delta function. In this paper we prove the analogue of Theorem 1.1 for systems with accelerants that are allowed to have a jump discontinuity at the origin. We also present explicit formulas for determining the unique accelerant k from the given potential a. As for continuous accelerants in [14], the results are proved not only for scalar functions but also for the matrix-valued case, when in (1.5) the functions P, P∗ and a are Cr×r -valued. The result expressing the accelerant in terms of the potential referred to in the previous paragraph is based on a recent theorem involving a certain analog R(B, D) of the resultant operator for a class of entire matrix functions B and D. The resultant R(B, D) is deﬁned as follows (see Section 3 for more details). Let B and D be of the form 0 τ iλu B(λ) = Ir + e b(u)du and D(λ) = Ir + eiλu d(u)du, −τ

Let us now state our main results. Theorem 1.2. Let k be a r × r-matrix-valued accelerant on [−T, T], with possibly a jump discontinuity at the origin, and let γτ (t, s) be the corresponding resolvent kernel as in (1.2). Put τ iλτ −iλx Ir + P(τ, λ) = e e γτ (x, 0)dx (1.7) 0 τ P∗ (τ, λ) = Ir + eiλx γτ (τ − x, τ )dx. (1.8) 0

Then a(τ ) = γτ (0, τ ), with 0 < τ ≤ T, extends to a continuous function on [0, T] and Y (τ, λ) = P(τ, λ) P∗ (τ, λ) , satisﬁes the Krein system (1.6) with potential a. For our second main result we need the matrizant of (1.6). By deﬁnition, this is the unique C2r×2r -valued solution U (τ, λ) of (1.6) satisfying the initial condition U (0, λ) ≡ I2r . Theorem 1.3. Let k be a r × r-matrix-valued accelerant on [−T, T], with possibly a jump discontinuity at the origin, and let a be the corresponding potential. Then k is uniquely determined by a, and k can be obtained from a in the following way. Let U (τ, λ) be the matrizant of (1.6), and put I 0 F (λ) = eiλT Ir Ir U (T, −λ) r , G(λ) = Ir Ir U (T, −λ) . Ir 0 Then F and G are entire r × r matrix functions of the form T 0 f (x)eiλx dx, G(λ) = Ir + g(x)eiλx dx, F (λ) = Ir + −T

where f and g are continuous C -valued functions on [0, T] and [−T, 0], respectively. Moreover, the resultant operator R(F , G ) is invertible, and the function k is given by the formula k = [R(F , G )]−1 q. (1.9) ∗ ∗ ∗ ¯ and G (λ) = G(λ) ¯ , where the superscript means taking Here F (λ) = F (λ) adjoints. Finally, q is the function on the interval [−T, T] given by + f (−x)∗ , −T ≤ x < 0, q(x) = g(−x)∗ , 0 ≤ x ≤ T. r×r

To prove Theorem 1.2 we use in an essential way the results of [12]. The proof of Theorem 1.3 is based on recent results of [7] on the continuous analog of the resultant. In each of the two theorems above our starting point is a given accelerant. In a next paper we plan to study the inverse situation, which includes, in particular,

the question whether or not a continuous potential is always generated by an accelerant. Let us illustrate Theorem 1.2 with an example. Take k to be + i, if t ∈ [0, T], k(t) = (1.10) −i, if t ∈ [−T, 0]. Clearly, k is continuous with a jump discontinuity at zero, and k is hermitian. Note that this function is of the form + iCe−itA (I − P )B, t ∈ [0, T], k(t) = (1.11) −iCe−itA P B, t ∈ [−T, 0], 0 0 0 0 A= , P = , and C = B ∗ = 1 1 . 0 0 0 1 The formulas from [4] allow us to show that for this k the integral operator Tτ in (1.1) is invertible for τ < π2 . Hence k is an accelerant on [−T, T] whenever T < π2 . Furthermore, again using the formulas from [4], one computes that for each τ < π2 the resolvent kernel associated to k, that is, the solution γτ (t, s) of (1.2), is given by ⎧ 2i(t−s) ie ⎪ ⎪ , 0 ≤ s < t ≤ τ, ⎨ 1 + e2iτ γτ (t, s) = 2i(t−s) ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ −ie , 0 ≤ t < s ≤ τ. 1 + e−2iτ Direct computations show then that the functions P and P∗ deﬁned by the formulas (1.5) are equal to with

2i , τ ∈ [0, T]. (1.12) 1 + e−2iτ Other examples will be given in the ﬁnal two sections of the paper. We now give the outline of the paper. The rest of the paper consists of ﬁve sections. In Section 2 we show that a Krein system can be associated to accelerants with jump discontinuities and prove Theorem 1.2. In Section 3 we review the notion of continuous analogue of the resultant and state the results from [7] used in this paper. The proof of Theorem 1.3 is given in Section 4. The last two sections present examples. In Section 5 we consider the case of accelerants k of the form (1.11), where A, B and C are matrices of appropriate sizes and P is a projection commuting with A. This includes in particular the case when the Fourier transform a(τ ) =

of k (considered as a function on R) is a rational matrix-valued function vanishing at inﬁnity. Such functions k have in general a jump discontinuity at the origin. In Section 6 a class of continuous accelerants is elaborated.

2. Krein system for accelerants with jump discontinuity and proof of Theorem 1.2 In the proof of Theorem 1.1 an important role is played by the equations ∂ γτ (t, s) = γτ (t, τ )γτ (τ, s), ∂τ

0 ≤ s, t ≤ τ,

(2.1)

∂ γτ (τ − t, τ − s) = γτ (τ − t, 0)γτ (0, τ − s), 0 ≤ t, s ≤ τ. (2.2) ∂τ Equation (2.1) is called the Krein-Sobolev identity. The second equation is obtained by replacing in equation (1.2) the function k(t) by k(−t). The corresponding resolvent kernel is equal to γτ (τ − t, τ − s), as can be seen by a change of variables; see the discussion [5, p. 450] and in particular equation (3.5) there. The above equations have been used by M.G. Krein in [15] to deduce his system (1.5) in the case of a continuous accelerant. It is known [13, Section 7.3, p. 187] that continuity of the accelerant is not necessary to insure that the Krein-Sobolev identity holds. In fact, when k has a jump discontinuity at the origin appropriate generalizations of (2.1)–(2.2) have been established in [12]. Before presenting the proof of Theorem 1.2, we ﬁrst review the necessary results from [12]. In what follows k is a r × r accelerant on [−T, T] with a possible jump discontinuity at the origin and γτ (t, s) is the corresponding resolvent kernel as in (1.2). From [12] we know that the function (t, s, τ ) → γτ (t, s) is continuous on the domain 0 ≤ s < t ≤ T, 0 < τ ≤ T and on the domain 0 ≤ t < s ≤ T, 0 < τ ≤ T. Moreover, (t, s, τ ) → γτ (t, s) admits continuous extensions on the closures of these domains. In particular, a(τ ) = γτ (τ, 0) is continuous on the left open interval (0, T] and has a continuous extension to the closed interval [0, T]. Next, we consider the modiﬁcations of equations (2.1)–(2.2). Using the fact that k has a jump discontinuity at the origin, we let k+ be the function equal to k for t = 0 k+ (0) = lim k(h). h→0 h>0

Similarly, let k− be the function equal to k for t = 0 and deﬁned at the origin by k− (0) = lim k(h). h→0 h<0

One deﬁnes γτu (t, s) and γτl (t, s) to be the resolvent equations corresponding to the function k+ (t) and k− (t) respectively. Note that, for t = s, γτ (t, s) = γτu (t, s) = γτl (t, s).

(2.3)

It is proved in [12] that ∂ γ u (t, s) = γτu (t, τ )γτl (τ, s), ∂τ + τ ∂ γ l (t, s) = γτu (t, τ )γτl (τ, s), ∂τ + τ

where ∂∂+ and ∂∂− stand for derivatives from the right and from the left, respectively. See [12, (3.6)–(3.7) p. 274, and p. 278]. It follows that (2.2) becomes ∂ γ u (τ − t, τ − s) = γτu (τ − t, 0)γτl (0, τ − s), ∂τ + τ ∂ γ l (τ − t, τ − s) = γτu (τ − t, 0)γτl (0, τ − s), ∂τ + τ where 0 ≤ t, s ≤ τ , and ∂ γ u (τ − t, τ − s) = γτu (τ − t, 0)γτl (0, τ − s), ∂τ − τ ∂ γ l (τ − t, τ − s) = γτu (τ − t, 0)γτl (0, τ − s), ∂τ − τ also for 0 ≤ t, s ≤ τ .

(2.8) (2.9)

(2.10) (2.11)

Proof of Theorem 1.2. We have already proved the continuity of the potential a on [0, T]. Let P and P∗ be deﬁned by (1.7) and (1.8). Note that, in view of (2.3), one can replace γτ by γτu or γτl in the expressions for P and P∗ . Then, using the Krein-Sobolev identity (2.4), we have for τ > 0: τ ∂ iλτ ∂ P(τ, λ) = iλP(τ, λ) + e e−iλx γτ (x, 0) dx ∂τ + ∂τ + 0 τ ∂ = iλP(τ, λ) + γτ (τ, 0) + eiλ(τ −x) + γτ (x, 0) dx ∂τ 0 τ = iλP(τ, λ) + γτ (τ, 0) + eiλ(τ −x) γτu (x, τ )γτl (τ, 0) dx 0 τ iλ(τ −x) = iλP(τ, λ) + In + e γτ (x, τ ) dx γτ (τ, 0) 0 τ = iλP(τ, λ) + In + eiλx γτ (τ − x, τ ) dx γτ (τ, 0) 0

= iλP(τ, λ) + P∗ (τ, λ)γτ (τ, 0).

Here we removed the superscripts u and l using (2.3) and using the fact that the value of an integral does not depend on the value of the integrand at one point. Using now (2.10) we obtain in a similar way that ∂ P(τ, λ) = iλP(τ, λ) + P∗ (τ, λ)γτ (τ, 0). ∂τ − ∂ It follows that ∂τ P(τ, λ) exists and that the ﬁrst equality in (1.5) holds. Analogously, using the (2.8) and (2.10), we have τ ∂ ∂ P∗ (τ, λ) = eiλx γτ (τ − x, τ ) dx ∂τ ± ∂τ ± 0 τ ∂ = eiλτ γτ (0, τ ) + eiλx ± γτ (τ − x, τ ) dx ∂τ 0 τ iλτ = e γτ (0, τ ) + eiλx γτ (τ − x, 0)γτ (0, τ ) dx 0 τ = eiλτ Ir + eiλ(x−τ ) γτ (τ − x, 0) dx γτ (0, τ ), 0 τ eiλx γτ (x, 0) dx γτ (0, τ ) = eiλτ Ir + 0

= P(τ, λ)γτ (0, τ ). ∗ Since k is hermitian, we have γτ (0, τ ) = γτ (τ, 0) . Thus P and P∗ satisfy (1.5), and hence Y (τ, λ) = P(τ, λ) P∗ (τ, λ) satisﬁes (1.6).

3. Intermezzo: The continuous analogue of the resultant We review here the results of [7] needed in the proof of Theorem 1.3. The deﬁnition of the resultant operator R(B, D) has already been given in the introduction. Consider an entire matrix function of the form τ L(λ) = Ir + eiλx (x)dx, ∈ Lr×r [0, τ ]. (3.1) 1 0

With a slight abuse of terminology, following [7], we call L(λ) a Krein orthogonal matrix function if there exists a hermitian Cr×r -valued function k ∈ Lr×r [−τ, τ ] 1 such that τ

(t) −

k(t − u)(u) du = k(t),

0 ≤ t ≤ τ.

0

In that case we refer to δ − k as the associate weight. The following result is proved in [7, Theorem 5.6]. Theorem 3.1. Let L be a Cr×r -valued entire function of the form (3.1). Then there exists a hermitian matrix function k ∈ Lr×r [−τ, τ ] such that L is the Krein 1

26

D. Alpay, I. Gohberg, M. Kaashoek, L. Lerer and A. Sakhnovich

orthogonal matrix function with weight δ − k if and only if there exists a matrix function M of the form τ M (λ) = Ir + eiλu m(u)du, m ∈ Lr×r [0, τ ], (3.2) 1 0

such that the following two conditions are satisﬁed: L(λ)L (λ) = M (λ)M (λ),

λ ∈ C,

Ker L (λ) ∩ Ker M (λ) = {0} ,

(3.3)

λ ∈ C.

(3.4)

Furthermore, when these conditions hold, the function k is given by the formula + (−u)∗ , −τ ≤ u ≤ 0, −1 (3.5) q, q(u) = k = R(L , M ) m(u), 0 ≤ u ≤ τ. In [7] the above theorem is derived as a corollary of the following somewhat more general theorem ([7, Theorem 5.5]). Theorem 3.2. Given , m ∈ Lr×r [0, τ ], put 1 τ iλu L(λ) = Ir + e (u)du, M (λ) = Ir + 0

Then there is a hermitian matrix function k ∈ Lr×r [−τ, τ ] such that 1 τ (t) − k(t − u)(u) du = k(t), 0 ≤ t ≤ τ,

if and only if the two conditions (3.3) and (3.4) are satisﬁed, and in that case the function k is uniquely determined by (3.5). In general, a Krein orthogonal matrix function L may have many diﬀerent weights. This is reﬂected by the fact that given L as in Theorem 3.1 there may be many diﬀerent functions M of the form (3.2) satisfying (3.3) and (3.4). However, as soon as M is ﬁxed, then the weight is uniquely determined by (3.5) (as we see from Theorem 3.2). Remark. If in (3.5) the functions and m are continuous on the interval [0, τ ], then the function q in the right-hand side of (3.5) is a continuous function on [−τ, τ ] with a possible jump discontinuity at zero. This implies that the function k deﬁned by (3.5) is also continuous on [−τ, τ ] with a possible jump discontinuity at zero.

4. Proof of Theorem 1.3 Throughout this section k is a r × r-matrix-valued accelerant on [−T, T], with possibly a jump discontinuity at the origin, and we consider the Krein system (1.6) with the potential a deﬁned by k. Furthermore U (τ, λ) will be the matrizant of (1.6). Our aim is to prove Theorem 1.3. As in Theorem 1.3, put Ir 0 iλT Ir Ir U (T, −λ) F (λ) = e , G(λ) = Ir Ir U (T, −λ) . Ir 0 First let us show that F (λ) = eiλT P(T, −λ)

and G(λ) = P∗ (T, −λ),

(4.1)

where P(T, λ) and P∗ (T, λ) are deﬁned by (1.7) and (1.8) with τ = T. To obtain (4.1) note that for each λ ∈ C the two r × 2r matrix functions

Ir

Ir U (τ, λ)

and

P(τ, λ)

P∗ (τ, λ)

satisfy thelinear diﬀerential equation (1.6), and at τ = 0 both functions are equal to Ir Ir . Thus both have the same initial condition at τ = 0. It follows that these two functions coincide on 0 ≤ τ ≤ T. For τ = T this yields the identities in (4.1). Using (4.1), we see from the formulas for P and P∗ in (1.7) and (1.8) that F (λ) = Ir +

with f (x) = γT (x, 0) on 0 ≤ x ≤ T and g(x) = γT (T + x, T) on the interval −T ≤ x ≤ 0. In particular, the functions f and g are continuous on their respective domains as desired. It remains to prove (1.9). To do this we ﬁrst derive the following lemma. Lemma 4.1. The functions P and P∗ given by (1.7) and (1.8), respectively, satisfy the identity P(τ, λ)P (τ, λ) = P∗ (τ, λ)P∗ (τ, λ)

(0 ≤ τ ≤ T, λ ∈ C).

(4.3)

Furthermore, for each 0 ≤ τ ≤ T the left-hand side in the above identity is a right canonical factorization (that is, for each 0 ≤ τ ≤ T the function det P(τ, λ) has no zero in the closed lower half-plane) while the right side is a left canonical factorization (that is, for each 0 ≤ τ ≤ T the function det P∗ (τ, λ) has no zero in the closed upper half-plane).

In terms of the resolvent kernel γτ (t, s) associated with k we have (0 ≤ x ≤ τ );

aτ (x) = γτ (x, 0),

bτ (−x) = γτ (0, x)

cτ (x) = γτ (τ + x, τ )

dτ (−x) = γτ (τ, τ + x)

(−τ ≤ x ≤ 0).

Note that in this terminology, the functions P and P∗ given by (1.7) and (1.8) are equal to P(τ, λ) = eiλτ Aτ (−λ),

P∗ (τ, λ) = Cτ (−λ).

(4.4)

From Theorem 5.3 in [7] we know that Aτ (λ)Bτ (λ) = Cτ (λ)Dτ (λ),

Ker Bτ (λ) ∩ Ker Dτ (λ) = {0}.

(4.5)

Next recall that k is hermitian. This implies that bτ (−x) = aτ (x)∗ ,

cτ (−x) = dτ (x)∗

(0 ≤ x ≤ τ ),

and hence Aτ (λ) = Bτ (λ) and Dτ (λ) = Cτ (λ). In particular, (4.5) reduces to Aτ (λ)Aτ (λ) = Dτ (λ)Dτ (λ),

Ker Aτ (λ) ∩ Ker Dτ (λ) = {0}.

(4.6)

Finally, since for each 0 ≤ τ ≤ T the operator Tτ in (1.1) is selfadjoint and invertible, it follows that Tτ is strictly positive for each 0 ≤ τ ≤ T. Then we know (using the theory of Krein orthogonal functions; see Theorem 8.1.1 in [6]) that the function det Aτ (λ) has no zero in the closed upper half-plane, and the function det Dτ (λ) has no zero in the closed lower half-plane. Thus Aτ (λ)Aτ (λ) is a left canonical factorization and Dτ (λ)Dτ (λ) is a right canonical factorization. Using (4.4) the above remarks provide the proof of the lemma.

We are now ready to prove (1.9). From (4.1) and (4.3) it follows that F (λ)F (λ) = G(λ)G (λ).

(4.7)

Moreover the left-hand side of this identity is a left canonical factorization and the right-hand side is a right canonical factorization. In particular, Ker F ∩ Ker G = {0}. This allows us to apply Theorem 3.2 with τ = T, (u) = f (u) and m(u) = g(−u)∗ , where the functions f and g are as in (4.2). In other words, we apply L = F [−T, T] such and M = G . It follows that there exists a unique hermitian k˜ ∈ Lr×r 1 that T ˜ − s)f (s) ds = k(t), ˜ f (t) − k(t 0 ≤ t ≤ T, (4.8) g(t) −

with q(x) =

(4.9)

−T ≤ x ≤ 0, 0 ≤ x ≤ T.

Since f (x) = γT (x, 0) on 0 ≤ x ≤ T and g(x) = γT (T + x, T) on the interval −T ≤ x ≤ 0, we know from the proof of Lemma 4.1 that (4.8) and (4.9) also hold with k˜ being replaced by the original accelerant k. But then, by the uniqueness statement in Theorem 3.2, the functions k˜ and k coincide. Thus (1.9) holds, which completes the proof of Theorem 1.3. Remark. In the proof of Lemma 4.1 we used in an essential way the accelerant and its properties. However, this is not necessary. It is possible to give a proof of Lemma 4.1 without any reference to the accelerant. In fact, such a proof can be obtained by using the properties of a canonical diﬀerential systems of Dirac ¯ ∗ is a solution of a canonical diﬀerential type. To see this note that e−iτ λ Y (τ, −2λ) system of Dirac type with potential v(τ ) = −ia(τ ) whenever Y (τ, λ) is a solution of (1.6). We will come back to this in a later paper.

5. An example with jump discontinuity: the rational case In this section we consider the case where the accelerant is of the form + iCe−itA (I − P )B, t > 0, k(t) = −iCe−itA P B, t < 0.

(5.1)

In this expression, A, B and C are matrices of appropriate sizes and P is a projection commuting with A. Motivation for such a form originates with linear system theory. Indeed, let W be a rational Cp×q -valued function, analytic at inﬁnity. Then, as is well known, W admits a realization of the form W (λ) = D + C(λIN − A)−1 B,

30

D. Alpay, I. Gohberg, M. Kaashoek, L. Lerer and A. Sakhnovich

where D = W (∞) and (A, B, C) ∈ CN ×N × CN ×q × Cp×N . Assume furthermore that A has no real eigenvalues. Then, the function W belongs to the Wiener algebra, and eiλt k(t)dt,

W (λ) = D + R

where k is of the form (5.1) with P being the Riesz projection corresponding to the eigenvalues of A in the upper half-plane. Note that, in general, functions k of the form (5.1) need not have summable entries. In this section we ﬁrst take × a −bb∗ A= , 0 a×∗

where (a, b, c) ∈ Cn×n × Cn×k × Ck×n , and throughout it is assumed that the spectra of a and a× = a − bc are both in the open upper half-plane. For P we take the Riesz projection of A corresponding to the eigenvalues in the upper half-plane. In other words P is given by I iΩ , (5.3) P = 0 0 where Ω is the unique solution of the Lyapunov equation i(Ωa×∗ − a× Ω) = bb∗ . With A, B, C and P as in (5.2) and (5.3), the function W (λ) = Ir + eiλt k(t)dt

is positive deﬁnite on the real line. Conversely, any rational r×r matrix function W which is positive deﬁnite on the real line and analytic at inﬁnity with W (∞) = Ir can be represented in this way (see [1]). Proposition 5.1. When k is of the form (5.1) with A, B, C and P being given by (5.2) and (5.3), then k is an accelerant on each interval [−T, T]. Moreover, in this case the corresponding potential is given by ∗ ∗ a(τ ) = i (In + Ω(Y − e−iτ a Y aiτ a ))−1 (b + iΩc∗ ) , (5.6) where Ω is given by (5.4), and where Y is the solution of the Lyapunov equation i(Y a − a∗ Y ) = −c∗ c.

(5.7)

Proof. The fact that the function W in (5.5) is positive deﬁnite on the real line implies that for each τ the integral operator Tτ in (1.1) is strictly positive. Hence k is an accelerant on each interval [−T, T]. Using Theorem 4.1 in [4] one computes that in this setting γτ (0, τ ) = −iC(P e−iτ (A−BC)Im P )−1 P B.

Since A, B and C are given by (5.2), we have a 0 A − BC = ∗ . c c a∗ It then follows, as computed in [1, p.15], that ∗

γτ (0, τ ) = −i(In + Ω(Y − e−iτ a Y aiτ a ))−1 (b + iΩc∗ ), where Ω and Y are given by (5.4) and (5.7), respectively. Since the potential is given by a(τ ) = γτ (τ, 0) and γτ (τ, 0) = γτ (0, τ )∗ , we see that a is given by (5.6). Next we assume that the matrices A, B, and C in (5.1) are given by ∗ √ γ2 √ β γ2 γ2∗ A=2 , B= 2 , C = 2 γ1∗ γ2∗ , 0 β γ1

(5.8)

where β is a square matrix of order n, and γ1 and γ2 are matrices of sizes n × r. Furthermore, we assume that β ∗ − β = iγ2 γ2∗ . A triple of matrices β, γ1 and γ2 with these properties will be called admissible. For the matrix P in (5.1) we take I −iIn . (5.9) P = n 0 0 The fact that the triple of matrices β, γ1 and γ2 is assumed to be admissible implies that with A, B, C and P as in (5.8) and (5.9), the function (5.5) is positive semideﬁnite on the real line. Conversely, any rational r × r matrix function W which is positive semi-deﬁnite on the real line and analytic at inﬁnity with W (∞) = Ir can be represented in this way (see [9], also [10]). For information about the connection between the matrices A, B, C and P in (5.2) and (5.3) and those in (5.8) and (5.9), we refer to the introduction of [3]. Proposition 5.2. Let β, γ1 and γ2 be an admissible triple, and put k(t) = −2(γ1 + iγ2 )∗ e−2itβ γ1 ,

k(−t) = k(t)∗

(t > 0).

(5.10)

Then k is an accelerant on each interval [−T, T], and the corresponding potential is given by ∗

t ≥ 0.

Since Σ(t) is positive deﬁnite, the matrix Σ(t) is invertible. Hence the map × P e−itA |Im P , viewed as an operator acting on Im P , is invertible. By Theorem 4.3 in [4] this implies that for our k the integral operator Tτ given by (1.1) is invertible for each τ , and γτ (0, τ ) = −iC(P e−iτ (A−BC) Im P )−1 P B ∗

Since the potential is given by a(τ ) = γτ (τ, 0) and γτ (τ, 0) = γτ (0, τ )∗ , we see that a is given by (5.11). Remark. Note that the two propositions in this section do not cover the example presented in the introduction. Indeed, when k is given by (1.10), then k is not an accelerant for [−π/2, π/2].

6. Another class of potentials We now consider the case where the Cr×r -valued accelerant k admits a representation of the form k(t) = CetA B,

t ∈ [−T, T],

(6.1)

where A, B and C are matrices of appropriate sizes. We assume that there exists a hermitian matrix H such that HA + A∗ H = 0

and C = B ∗ H.

(6.2)

The latter implies that k(t)∗ = k(−t) on [−T, T], and hence k is a hermitian kernel. Under certain minimality conditions the converse statement is also true. More precisely, if k given by (6.1) with the pair (A, B) being controllable and the pair (C, A) being observable, then k(t)∗ = k(−t) implies that there exists a unique invertible hermitian matrix H such that (6.2) holds. Let τ ∈ (0, T]. As proved in [8], equation (1.2) has a unique solution if and only if the matrix τ Mτ = I − e−sA BCesA ds (6.3) 0

is invertible. When this is the case, we have: γτ (t, s) = CetA Mτ−1 e−sA B,

s, t ∈ [−τ, τ ].

(6.4)

Proposition 6.1. Assume k is given by (6.1), and let H be a hermitian matrix H such that (6.2) holds. Then k is an accelerant if and only if the matrix Mτ in (6.3) is non-singular for 0 ≤ τ ≤ T. In that case the corresponding potential is given by a(t) = CetA Mt−1 B,

0 < t ≤ T,

(6.5)

and the functions , P(τ, λ) = eiλτ Ir + C(A − iλIr )−1 eτ A − eiλτ Ir Mτ−1 B, , P∗ (τ, λ) = Ir + C(A − iλIr )−1 eτ A − eiλτ Ir Mτ−1 e−τ A B, are the associate Krein orthogonal matrix functions. Proof. Since k is hermitian, the operator Tτ will be strictly positive if and only Tτ is invertible. The latter happens if and only if Mτ is non singular. Thus k is an accelerant if and only if Mτ is non-singular for 0 ≤ τ ≤ T. Assume k to be an accelerant. Then the potential is given by a(t) = γt (t, 0) on (0, T]. Using (6.4), this yields (6.5). Furthermore, the associate Krein orthogonal

34

function P for k can be computed as follows: τ iλτ −iλx Ir + P(τ, λ) = e e γτ (x, 0)dx 0 τ iλτ −iλx xA −1 Ir + e Ce Mτ Bdx =e 0 τ iλτ −iλx xA −1 Ir + C e e dx Mτ B =e 0 % & = eiλτ Ir + C(A − iλI)−1 eτ (A−iλ) − Ir Mτ−1 B , = eiλτ Ir + C(A − λI)−1 eτ A − eiλτ Ir Mτ−1 B. Analogously,

0

This completes the proof.

Corollary 6.2. Assume k is given by (6.1), and assume that (6.2) holds with H = −I. Then k is an accelerant. In particular, if rj > 0 and βj ∈ R for j = 1, . . . , n, then the function n k(t) = − rn eiβν t (6.6) ν=1

is an accelerant for each each interval [−T, T]. Proof. From H = −I, we see that the matrix Mτ in (6.3) can be rewritten as τ sA ∗ sA Ce Ce ds. Mτ = I + 0

It follows that Mτ is positive deﬁnite and hence non-singular for each τ ≥ 0. Thus k is an accelerant by Proposition 6.5 above. Next, consider the function k in (6.6). Since rj > 0 and βj ∈ R for each j = 1, . . . , n, we can represent k as in (6.1) by taking √ √ √ r1 r2 · · · rn , B = −C ∗ . A = diag (iβ1 , iβ2 , . . . , iβn ), C = But then (6.2) holds with H = I. By the result of the ﬁrst paragraph, this shows that k is an accelerant on [−T, T] for each T > 0.

35

From (6.3) it follows that d Mτ = −e−τ A BCeτ A . (6.7) dτ This together with the explicit formula (6.4) allows one to give a direct proof of the Krein-Sobolev equation (2.1) and of equation (2.2) for accelerants as in (6.1). The class of accelerants considered in this section includes the restrictions of polynomials to [−T, T]. On the other hand, when considered for t on the whole real line, k is never integrable (except for the trivial case k = 0). Thus this class of accelerants has a zero intersection with the accelerants considered in the ﬁrst part of the previous section. Nevertheless the class of potentials corresponding to the accelerants considered in this section shares a number of common properties with the strictly pseudo-exponential potentials. For instance, using (6.7), we have Mτ =

a(0) = CB a (0) = CAB + (CB)2 .. . and there exist non commutative polynomials f0 , f1 , . . . such that CA B = f (v(0), . . . , v ( ) (0)),

= 0, 1, . . .

Thus, and as for strictly pseudo-exponential potentials (see [2]), one can in principle recover the potential from the values of its ﬁrst derivatives at the origin (cf., [11], where such results are proved for pseudo-exponential potentials).

Spectral Theory of the Inﬁnite Block Jacobi Type Normal Matrices, Orthogonal Polynomials on a Complex Domain, and the Complex Moment Problem Yu.M. Berezansky To the memory of M.G. Krein

Abstract. In this survey, we describe new results in the spectral theory of normal block Jacobi matrices and the corresponding questions concerning the complex moment problem and orthogonal polynomials. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 44A60, 47A57, 47A70. Keywords. Block Jacobi matrix, generalized eigenvector, orthogonal polynomials, direct and inverse spectral problems, moment problem.

1. Introduction In this talk, we propose an analog of the Jacobi matrix related to the complex moment problem and to a system of polynomials orthogonal with respect to some probability measure on the complex plane. Such a matrix has a block threediagonal structure and gives rise to a normal operator acting on a space of 2 type. Roughly speaking, these results are a generalization of the classical theory of Jacobi Hermitian matrices to the case of normal operators. They are deeply connected with some works by M.G. Krein ([33, 34], 1948–1949) devoted to the spectral approach to proving the integral representation for positive deﬁnite kernels and Jacobi matrices with operator-valued elements. The results of the talk are devoted to the complex moment problem and are connected with a large number of works starting from the year 1957: Y. Kilpi [32], N.I. Akhiezer [1], A. Atzmon [2], C. Berg, J.P.R. Christensen, P. Ressel [21], T.M. Bisgaard [22], J. Stochel, F.H. Szafraniec [39], and other mathematicians cited in the above-mentioned articles.

The results devoted to unitary block Jacobi matrices are connected with new works on orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle, in particular, with works by M.J. Cantero, L. Moral, L. Vel´ azques ([23], 2003), B. Simon ([38], 2005), and L.B. Golinskii ([30], 2006). Some results of this talk were obtained together with M.E. Dudkin.

2. Classical Jacobi matrices and moment problem, orthogonal polynomials on the axis 10 . At ﬁrst, I remind the corresponding classical situation. In the classical theory, investigated is, in the space 2 of sequences f = (fn )∞ n=0 , fn ∈ C, the Hermitian Jacobi matrix ⎡ ⎤ b 0 a0 0 0 0 . . . ⎢a0 b1 a1 0 0 . . .⎥ ⎢ ⎥ J = ⎢ 0 a1 b2 a2 0 . . .⎥ , bn ∈ R, an > 0, n ∈ N0 = {0, 1, 2, . . .}. (2.1) ⎣ ⎦ .. .. .. .. .. . . . . . On ﬁnite sequences f ∈ f in , this matrix generates an operator on 2 which is Hermitian with equal defect numbers and therefore has a selfadjoint extension on ∞ 0 1 1 2 . Under some conditions on J (for example, an = ∞), the closure J of J is n=0

selfadjoint. The direct spectral problem, i.e., the eigenfunction expansion for J1 (or for some selfadjoint extension of J) is constructed in the following way (for simplicity, we will assume that J1 is selfadjoint). For any λ ∈ R, we introduce the sequence of polynomials ∞ P (λ) = Pn (λ) n=0 ∈ = C∞ as a solution of the equation JP (λ) = λP (λ),

P0 (λ) = 1,

i.e., ∀n ∈ N0

an−1 Pn−1 (λ) + bn Pn (λ) + an Pn+1 (λ) = λPn (λ), P−1 (λ) = 0,

(2.2)

P0 (λ) = 1.

The solution of this recurrence exists: it is necessary to go step by step, starting from P0 (λ); such a procedure is possible because all an > 0. The sequence of the polynomials P (λ) is a generalized eigenvector for J1 with eigenvalue λ (we use some quasinuclear rigging of the space H = 2 : H − ⊃ H0 ⊃ H+ ,

P (λ) ∈ H− ).

(2.3)

The corresponding Fourier transform F =2 is: 2 ⊃ f in f =

This mapping is a unitary operator (after closure) between 2 and L2 . The image of J1 is the operator of multiplication by λ on the space L2 . The polynomials Pn (λ) are orthonormal w.r.t. the spectral measure dρ(λ) : Pj (λ)Pk (λ)dρ(λ) = δj,k , j, k ∈ N0 . (2.5) R

20 . The inverse spectral problem is stated in this classical case as follows. Suppose that we have a Borel probability measure dρ(λ) on R for which all moments sn , sn = λn dρ(λ), n ∈ N0 , (2.7) R

exist (and the support of dρ(λ) contains an inﬁnite set on a ﬁnite interval). The question is: is it possible to recover the corresponding Jacobi matrix J in such a manner that the initial measure dρ(λ) is equal to the spectral measure 1 What is the way for such a reconstruction? for J? The answer is simple: it is necessary to take the sequence of functions 1, λ, λ2 , . . . ∈ L2

(2.8)

(which are linearly independent) and apply the classical procedure of orthogonalization (by Schmidt) to it. As a result, we get the sequence of orthonormal polynomials P0 (λ) = 1, P1 (λ), P2 (λ), . . . . (2.9) Then the matrix J is reconstructed by these formulas: ∀n ∈ N0 2 an = λPn (λ)Pn+1 (λ)dρ(λ), bn = λ Pn (λ) dρ(λ). (2.10) R

Now, we will explain in what manner it is possible to get the representation (2.11) if the condition (2.12) is fulﬁlled. In accordance with (2.12), we introduce the (quasi) scalar product (f, g)S =

∞

f, g ∈ f in ,

sj+m fj gm ,

(2.13)

j,m=0

and construct, in the usual way, the corresponding Hilbert space S. The shift operator ∀f ∈ f in (T f )j = fj−1 , j ∈ N0 (f−1 = 0) is (as is easy to understand) Hermitian on S with equal defect indexes. Therefore, this operator has a selfadjoint extension T1 in S. Further, we construct the generalized eigenvector expansion of this operator on the space S. For this purpose, it is necessary to introduce a quasinuclear rigging of the space S of type (2.3). A simple calculation shows that now the generalized eigenvector P (λ), λ ∈ R, has the form P (λ) = (1, λ, λ2 , . . .) ∈ ,

λ ∈ R.

(2.14)

The Fourier transform is: 2 S ⊃ f in (fj )∞ j=0 = f → f (λ) =

∞

fj λj ∈ L2 (R, dρ(λ)) =: L2 .

(2.15)

j=0

Here dρ(λ) is the spectral measure of the operator T1. The Parseval equality has the form (2.6), as before. From (2.15) we conclude that for the vector δn = (0, . . . , 0, 1, 0, 0, . . .), the n

Fourier transform δ2n = λn . Therefore, the Parseval equality (2.6) gives the required representation (2.11): sm = (δm , δ0 )S = (δ2m , δ20 )L2 = λm dρ(λ), m ∈ N0 . R

3. The complex moment problem 10 . To change from the classical Jacobi matrices to the normal Jacobi type block matrices, we begin with the corresponding moment problem. In the simplest case, the problem is stated as follows. Instead of the sequence s = (sm )∞ m=0 , sm ∈ R, we have the sequence s = (sm,n )∞ m,n=0 ,

sm,n ∈ C.

The question is: under what conditions does a ﬁnite Borel measure dρ(z) on C exist such that sm,n = z m z n dρ(z), m, n ∈ N0 ? (3.1) C

41

In this case, some conditions of positiveness of type (2.12) play an essential role as well. So, as in the case of the classical moment problem, we use the sequence f = (fj,k )∞ j,k=0 ,

fj,k ∈ C;

= (C2 )∞ is the set of all such sequences, and f in denotes the set of ﬁnite sequences of . The condition of positiveness, analogous to (2.12), is the following: ∞

sj+n,k+m fj,k f m,n ≥ 0,

f ∈ f in

(3.2)

j,k,m,n=0

(note that the disposition of the indexes of s, f and f in this sum is essential). As for the classical moment problem, we introduce the scalar product connected with (3.2): ∞ (f, g)S = sj+n,k+m fj,k gm,n , f, g ∈ f in , (3.3) j,k,m,n=0

and construct the corresponding Hilbert space S. Now, we consider two operators T and T + on the space S, acting on f ∈ f in according to the rules (T f )j,k = fj,k−1 ,

(T + f )j,k = fj−1,k ,

j, k ∈ N0 , f−1,k = fj,−1 = 0.

(3.4)

It is clear that T is formally normal: algebraically, T T + = T + T. Under some additional conditions on the growth of sm,n as m, n → ∞, we can assert that the closure T1 is a normal operator and can apply, to our situation, a scheme similar to that in Section 2.30 , but now involving a normal operator instead of a selfadjoint operator. This way gives the following result. Theorem 3.1. Consider the sequence s = (sm,n )∞ m,n=0 , sm,n ∈ C. If on C a ﬁnite Borel measure dρ(λ) exists such that (3.1) sm,n = z m z n dρ(z), m, n ∈ N0 , C

then the condition of positiveness (3.2) is fulﬁlled. Conversely, if for s the condition (3.2) is fulﬁlled and ∞ 1 = ∞, (3.5) √ 2p s 2p,2p p=1 then the representation (3.1) holds. a) It should be emphasized that the condition (3.5) provides the normality (not only formal normality) of the operator T. For a formally normal operator, it is impossible to assert in general that it can be extended to a normal operator

42

Yu.M. Berezansky

(unlike the case of Hermitian operators with equal defect numbers and selfadjoint operators). Therefore, the condition of type (3.5) is necessary to assume. b) The proof of Theorem 3.1 is analogous to that for the classical moment problem, but now it is necessary to use the generalized eigenfunction expansion for a normal operator (instead of a selfadjoint one). Instead of (2.14), we now have the following generalized eigenvector: P (z) = (z m z n )∞ m,n=0 ∈ ,

z ∈ C is eigenvalue.

(3.6)

The corresponding Fourier transform of type (2.15) is: 2 S ⊃ f in (fj,k )∞ j,k=0 = f → f (z) =

c) In the classical situation, the sequence 1,λ,λ2 , . . .∈ L2 = L2 (R, dρ(λ)) 3 (2.8) n is connected with the moments (2.7), sn = λ dρ(λ), n ∈ N0 . The orthogonalizaR

tion of the functions (2.8) gives the orthonormal polynomials Pn (λ), connected with the Jacobi matrix (2.1). But now instead of the sequence (2.8), we have the double sequence (z j z k )∞ z ∈ C, z j z k ∈ L2 . (3.8) j,k=0 , The question is: what is a convenient way of introducing the linear order into (3.8) in order to apply the orthogonalization procedure and get the analog of Pn (λ) for “Jacobi” normal matrices?

4. Block Jacobi type normal matrices and their spectral theory The natural problem arises: in what way is it possible to develop the classical theory for the complex moment problem? What are the corresponding analogs of Jacobi matrices and orthogonal polynomials in the complex plane (or on some set of C, for example, on the unit circle T ⊂ C)? The previous account gives the following picture. 10 . Direct spectral problem. Instead of the space 2 = C ⊕ C ⊕ · · · , it is necessary to take the space l2 = H0 ⊕ H1 ⊕ H2 ⊕ · · · , Hn = Cn+1 (C1 = C)

(4.3)

Under some simple conditions on an , bn , and cn , the matrix J is formally normal: JJ + = J + J (J + is the adjoint matrix to J). If an , bn , and cn are uniformly bounded operators, then the closure J1 is a bounded normal operator on l2 (for simplicity, we will speak here only about this case). 1 The corresponding generalized eigenLet z ∈ C belong to the spectrum of J. vector has the form ∞ P (z) = (Pn (z))n=0 ; (4.4) here, Pn (z) ∈ Hn is a vector-valued polynomial w.r.t. z, z of degree n (i.e., its coordinates are some linear combinations of z j z k , j + k ≤ n). This eigenvector P (z) is a solution of two equations of (2.2) type: JP (z) = zP (z),

J + P (z) = zP (z).

(4.5)

The corresponding Fourier transform2 has the form: ∞ 2 l2 ⊃ lf in f = (fn )∞ (fn , Pn (z))H ∈ L2 (C, dρ(z)) =: L2 , (4.6) n=0 → f (z) = n=0

where dρ(z) is a spectral measure of J1 with compact support. So, we have the following result. Theorem 4.1. On the space l2 (4.1), consider the bounded normal operator J1 which is generated by the block Jacobi matrix (4.2) satisfying the conditions (4.3).

44

Yu.M. Berezansky

The corresponding generalized eigenvectors of the form (4.4) are solutions of the equations (4.5) and give rise to the Fourier transform2 (4.6). This transform is a unitary operator between l2 and L2 constructed by spectral measure dρ(z) with compact support. The polynomials Pn (z) generate an orthonormal basis in the space L2 . It is necessary to remark that every bounded normal operator in Hilbert space for which one cyclic vector exists is unitarily equivalent to the operator J1 which is generated in the space (4.1) by the matrix (4.2) satisfying the conditions (4.3). 20 . Inverse spectral problem. Suppose we have the probability Borel measure dρ(z) on C with compact support. As before, the question is: is it possible to recover the corresponding block Jacobi normal matrix (4.2), (4.3) in such a manner that dρ(z) is a spectral 1 What is the way for such a reconstruction? measure for J? As before, it is necessary to take the sequence (3.8) of the functions z j z k and apply the Schmidt orthogonalization procedure to it in L2 . As a result, we get the polynomials Pn (z) of type (4.4). It is necessary to take such a measure dρ(z) that the functions z j z k are linearly independent (for example, the support of dρ(z) contains some open set). The linear order for the sequence (3.8) should be taken as that in the picture (3.9). So, we have the following order: z 0 z 0 ; z 1 z 0 , z 0 z 1 ; z 2 z 0 , z 1 z 1 , z 0 z 2 ; . . . ; z n z 0 , z n−1 z 1 , . . . , z 0 z n ; . . . .

(4.7)

After the orthogonalization, we get the following table: P0;0 (z) ≡ 1; P1;0 (z), P2;0 (z), . . . P1;1 (z); P2,1 (z), . . . P2;2 (z); . . .

Pn;0 (z), Pn;1 (z), Pn;2 (z), .. .

... ... ...

Pn;n (z); . . . Now, we can construct the “generalized eigenvector” (4.4) by setting Pn (z) = (Pn;0 (z), Pn;1 (z), . . . , Pn;n (z)). In this way, it is possible to prove the following result. Theorem 4.2. Let dρ(z) be a probability Borel measure with compact support; assume that the functions (4.7) are linearly independent. Then this measure is the spectral measure for a normal bounded operator J1 which is generated on the space l2 (4.1) by the block Jacobi type matrix (4.2) with satisfying the conditions (4.3).

If we start from the spectral measure dρ(z) of the bounded normal operator 1 J generated by the matrix J (4.2)–(4.3), then the formulae (4.8) give the elements of this matrix.

5. Block Jacobi unitary matrices and orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle 10 . The theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle T ⊂ C has been intensively developed for the last 50–60 years. In 2005, B. Simon published a twovolume book [38] on this topic. But the idea of constructing a Jacobi type block matrix is new for this theory as well. It is necessary to say that in 2003, M.J. Cantero, L. Moral and L. Vel´ asques published article [23] dealing with a deeply connected area. However, they considered the 5-diagonal matrix on the ordinary space 2 and did not use the natural Jacobi type block matrix in the corresponding space. Roughly speaking, the orthogonal polynomials on T and the corresponding trigonometric moment problem are a particular case of the above-mentioned theory. The diﬀerence is this: the functions z j z k from (3.8), with z ∈ T, are linearly dependent in the space L2 (T, dρ(z)) for an arbitrary measure dρ(z) on T because ∀n ∈ N0 z j z k = z j+n z k+n . Therefore, instead of all functions z j z k from (3.8), it is necessary to take only these functions: z 0 z 0 = 1; z 1 z 0 = z 1 , z 0 z 1 = z −1 ; z 2 z 0 = z 2 , z 0 z 2 = z −2 ; . . . ; z ∈ T.

(5.1)

The linear order for the orthogonalization is previous: as that in (3.9), (4.7), i.e., (5.1). For the linear independence of the functions (5.1), it is necessary to assume that the support of dρ(z) consists of inﬁnitely many points. In this case, instead of the space (4.1), we take the space l2,u ⊂ l2 : l2,u = H0 ⊕ H1 ⊕ H2 ⊕ · · · , where H0 = C, H1 = H2 = · · · = C2 .

(5.2)

Yu.M. Berezansky

The Jacobi type block matrix J of the form (4.2) now acts on the space l2,u and its blocks have the form diﬀerent from that in (4.3), namely: a a0 = 0;0,0 , b0 = b0;0,0 , c0 = c0;0,0 c0;0,1 , 0 an;0,1 a 0 0 , cn = ; an = n;0,0 cn;1,0 cn;1,1 0 0 n = 1, 2, . . . . a0;0,0 , c0;0,1 , an;0,0 , cn;1,1 > 0, For the unitary case, it is possible to repeat all constructions from Sections 3 and 4, including Theorems 3.1, 4.1, and 4.2.

6. Some applications to the integration of nonlinear diﬀerence equations and concluding remarks 10 . At ﬁrst, we give some additional references. An account of the classical spectral theory of Jacobi matrices, corresponding moment problem, and spectral approach to the representation of positive deﬁnite kernels can be found in [1, 4, 37, 43]; see also [19, 8, 9, 12]. The classical theory of orthogonal polynomials, including those on sets (in particular, on the unit circle) in the complex plane can be found in [42, 29, 40, 38, 31]. The book [41] contains results concerning orthogonal polynomials of two real variables x =Re z, y = Imz. The material of Sections 3–5 is an account of the results by Yu.M. Berezansky and M.E. Dudkin which were published with proofs in articles [13, 14, 15]. Note also that the main idea of changing from ordinary inﬁnite matrices in the space 2 to the block Jacobi type matrices and the corresponding spectral theory in the space l2 or l2,u was contained in the talk by Yu.M. Berezansky during the International Conference in Munich, Germany, July 2005 [10]. The article [14] also contains some conditions for the normality of the Jacobi type block matrices. The order of orthogonalization (3.9) is actually not new (for the one in terms of the variables x, y ∈ R, see [3], Ch. 12, [41]). For the case under consideration, it should be taken into account that, e.g., for a bounded operator A to be normal, its parts ReA = 1/2(A + A∗ ) and ImA = 1/2i(A − A∗ ) must be selfadjoint and commuting. Note that books [3] and [41] contain many interesting facts connected with Sections 3–5. Our Theorems 4.1 and 4.2 also provide the answers to some questions formulated in [3], Ch. 12, Subsection 12.3. It is now worth making two remarks on the results of Sections 3–5. At ﬁrst, it is interesting to ﬁnd the form of the ﬁve-diagonal matrix in ordinary space 2 if we know that the corresponding operator on 2 is unitary with one cyclic vector. Of course, it is generated by a block Jacobi matrix in the space l2,u , but it is necessary to ﬁnd the formulae for its elements (their representation using the Verblunsky coeﬃcients). This problem is solved in [24, 26].

Spectral Theory of Block Jacobi Type Matrices

47

The second remark. In the theory of orthonormal polynomials on the unit circle, there exists an important formula which presents a possibility of ﬁnding these polynomials step by step (the Szeg¨o recursion) [42, 38]. Therefore, the following question arises: is it possible to ﬁnd an analogous formula for orthogonal polynomials on the complex plane? Article [17] contains the solution of this problem: in reality, the Szeg¨ o recursion is equivalent to the two equalities (4.5). They can be rewritten as one recursion which generalizes the Szeg¨ o recursion to general orthogonal polynomials on the complex plane. 20 . Let us change to a short account of the results concerning applications of the theory in Sections 3–5 to the integration of some nonlinear diﬀerential-diﬀerence equations. Consider the classical Toda lattice on a semi-axis: 1 an (t)(bn+1 (t) − bn (t)), 2 b˙ n (t) = a2n (t) − a2n−1 (t); a−1 (t) = 0;

a˙ n (t) =

(6.1) n ∈ N0 , t ∈ [0, T ].

d , T ≤ ∞. Here an (t) > 0, bn (t) are real continuously diﬀerentiable functions, · = dt Let us formulate the Cauchy problem for (6.1): for given initial data an (0), bn (0), n ∈ N0 , it is necessary to ﬁnd the solution an (t), bn (t), n ∈ N0 , for t > 0; the equality a−1 (t) = 0 is some boundary condition. To ﬁnd the solution of this problem, the following procedure can be applied. With an (t), bn (t) for every t ∈ [0, T ], we construct the Jacobi matrix J(t) (2.1). This matrix is Hermitian. If we assume the boundedness of this solution, then the 1 is selfadjoint on the space 2 . Denote by dρ(λ; t) its corresponding operator J(t) spectral measure. The change of the solution an (t), bn (t) with t is, of course, very complicated. However, it is possible to prove that the change of dρ(λ; t) is very simple:

dρ(λ; t) = c(t)eλt dρ(λ; 0),

t ∈ [0, T ], λ ∈ R,

(6.2)

where c(t) is a normalizing factor (spectral measure ∀t is a probability measure). As a result, the procedure for ﬁnding the solution of the Cauchy problem for (6.1) is as follows: we ﬁnd the initial spectral measure dρ(λ; 0) of the operator J1(0), then calculate, using (6.2), the spectral measure dρ(λ; t) for t > 0 and, ﬁnally, reconstruct the matrix J(t), using the inverse spectral problem. As a result, the elements of J(t) are the solution of our Cauchy problem. Note that the equation 1 is stable w.r.t. t ∈ [0, T ] (see (6.2)). (6.1) is “isospectral”: the spectrum of J(t) Such an approach was proposed in [5, 6, 7]; it is a diﬀerence analog of the classical inverse spectral problem method for solving the Cauchy problem for the Korteweg-de Vries diﬀerential equation (instead of the Sturm-Liouville equation, we use the spectral theory of Jacobi matrices, which is simpler). This approach was generalized to equations more complicated than (6.1). In particular, the “nonisospectral” equations were investigated for which the change of the spectral measure is more complicated than (6.2). Also, the non-Abelian case

48

Yu.M. Berezansky

where an (t), bn (t) are matrices etc. was investigated. Some of the corresponding and connected results can be found in [25, 16, 28, 20, 27, 35] and in book [43]. Two years ago, L.B. Golinskii published article [30] in which he applied the approach [5, 6, 7], but with the spectral theory of Jacobi matrices changed by the spectral theory of ﬁve-diagonals unitary matrices in the space 2 (using the results of works [23, 38]). Such an approach provides a possibility of integrating other equations, diﬀerent from (6.1), namely, the Schur ﬂows. This point of view is fruitful: in [18, 11], it was shown that it is possible to apply, for integration, the spectral theory of normal (and unitary) block Jacobi matrices, i.e., the results of Sections 3–5. Now, instead of the Toda equation (6.1), we can investigate other diﬀerential-diﬀerence equations, including a non-Abelian one (for example, the Polyakov-type systems). Using the results of Sections 3–5, it is also possible to investigate the corresponding “nonisospectral” systems. For the case of unitary operators (described in the Section 5), such results were obtained in [36].

On Geometrical and Analytical Aspects in Formulations of Problems of Classic and Non-classic Continuum Mechanics George L. Brovko, Olga A. Ivanova and Alexandra S. Finoshkina Abstract. The aim of this work is to touch some analytical and geometrical aspects in formulations of mathematical problems in classic and non-classic continuum mechanics and to demonstrate the connection of these aspects in generalized theory of stress and strain tensor measures, in ﬁnite plasticity, in application of the method of mechanical modeling to building-up models of Cosserat type structures and saturated porous media. Keywords. Objective tensors, generalized theory of strain and stress tensor measures, constitutive relations, ﬁnite plasticity, method of mechanical modeling, Cosserat type systems, saturated porous media, heterogeneous media, internal interactions.

1. Introduction Formulations of boundary value problems in continuum mechanics provide for the assignment of a region occupied by a body (in its current or reference conﬁguration), the setting of balance equations and constitutive relations to be satisﬁed in the region, and the determination of initial and boundary conditions. Such formulations in diﬀerent classic and non-classic parts of continuum mechanics have their geometrical and analytical features caused by the respective mathematical model of continuum, its motions and interactions. The topology of continuum itself, its inertial characteristics, the geometry of motions and interactions determine the structure of scalar, vector and tensor variables accompanying a process, describing stress and strain state. Constitutive relations specifying the mechanical properties of a body [1–7] analytically express the restrictions on an inner stress state and a motion being proper for the This work was completed with the support of Russian Foundation for Basic Research, project No. 06-01-00565.

body in all processes from the considered area. Typical forms of such relations are stress-strain relations and kinematical constraints (e.g., incompressibility, inextensibility, rigidity – in classic continuum mechanics [3], Nowacki pseudocontinuum constraints [8] – in Cosserat models [9] etc.). Constitutive relations essentially determine the mathematical character of the whole problem: the type of the equations system, the space of solutions and right-hand terms, and mathematical properties of the generalized operator of the problem. Such is the boundary value problem of the theory of small elastic-plastic deformations [10] which constitutive equations (stress-strain relations) determine the quasi-elliptical type of the system of equations, lead naturally to Mikhlin’s “energetic” type [11] of Hilbert space for solutions embeddably linked with Sobolev (1) space W2 by Korn’s inequality [12], then, through Sobolev’s embedding theorems, to Lp type of Banach space for volume (p 6/5) and contact (p > 4/3) external forces (right-hand members), and, ﬁnally, determine the main properties of the operator (of the generalized formulation of the problem) such as ﬁniteness, coercitivity, strict monotony, and potentiality [13–18]; these properties of the operator remarkably duplicate the similar properties of the constitutive stress-strain relation. Each other mechanical theory gives the similar example. The leading role of constitutive relations turns attention to possibilities of their building-up, comparison and interpretation from the geometrical point of view. In Ilyushin’s general theory of plasticity (theory of elastic-plastic processes) [19], analytical properties of constitutive relations have got a pictorial geometrical interpretation in 5-dimensional vector space (space of images). The classiﬁcation of plastic processes (and corresponding forms of constitutive relations) by degrees of their complexity was also made by geometrical criteria. Geometrical visuality useful at small strains becomes necessary for study analytical features of constitutive equations in the case of ﬁnite strains when continuous variety of stress and strain tensor measures appear as available [20]. For this case, taking into account invariance properties, the theory of objective tensors (diﬀerent ranks and types) and their mappings has been developed, new continuous sets of objective derivatives are introduced, and generalized theory of stress and ﬁnite strain tensor measures is constructed [21,22]; each objective derivative corresponds to a certain pare of conjugate stress and strain measures. On this base, the method for correct generalization of plasticity constitutive relations known at small strains to the case of ﬁnite strains was elaborated; each generalization corresponds to a pare of measures [23–25]. The continuous variety of obtained ﬁnite plasticity relations is capable to cover experimental data in a wide range of plastic material properties. Special attention should be turned to the role of geometry in modeling bodies themselves, their motions and interactions, especially in models of multi-phase structures and non-classic media. To realize such an approach the method of mechanical (constructive) modeling based on detailed study of a material macroparticle was proposed [26] and applied for deriving the motion and the constitu-

tive equations of Cosserat type structures [9, 27–34] and saturated porous materials [35–42]. For Cosserat structures, it gives a clear transparent look at all kinematic and dynamic characteristics, and of material properties of the model [43–47]. For saturated porous media, the method of mechanical modeling together with the hypothesis of interpenetrative continua and the principles of geometric invariance lead to analytical constitutive expressions (general reduced forms) of interactive forces and moments [48–52]. This article presents authors’ results demonstrating the examples of links between geometrical and analytical aspects in models and problems of certain divisions of continuum mechanics: the generalized theory of strain and stress tensor measures, corresponding new approaches in plasticity at ﬁnite strains [20–25], application of the mechanical modeling method to Cosserat type structures [43–47] and saturated porous media [48–52].

(2.1)

where x and x are the current (at t-conﬁguration) and reference positions of a body point. The deformation gradient A : = ∇x f has unique polar right and left decompositions A = QX = YQ (det A = 0) (2.2) with orthogonal Q and symmetric positively deﬁned right X and left Y parts. ˙ −1 (where v = f˙ (x, t) is the velocity The stretching tensor D := ∇x v = AA vector) has its skew-symmetric Ω (spin) and symmetric V (strain rate tensor) additive parts: Ω := Ω0 + QΩX QT ,

2.1.2. Objective tensors. The change of frame-reference is expressed by the equations which give the dependence of new Eulerian independent variables x∗ , t∗ on old ones x, t: x∗ = x∗0 (t) + Q(t)(x − x0 ), (2.4) t∗ = t + a, where x0 = const and x0 (t) are the reference centers in old and new frames, Q(t) is the orthogonal rotation tensor of the old frame respectively the new one, a = const is a time-shift.

54

G.L. Brovko, O.A. Ivanova and A.S. Finoshkina

Among diﬀerent mechanical tensor (second rank) processes, the objective tensors [21, 53] of four types can be marked out which are transformed under framechange (2.4) in four diﬀerent manners: (a) U∗ = U,

(b) Z∗ = QZQT ,

(c) F∗ = QF,

(d) G∗ = GQT .

(2.5)

Tensors of (a) type are called as right or materially oriented, tensors (b) – as left or spatially oriented, tensors (c) and (d) – as tensors of mixed types of objectivity. Objective right U and left Z tensors describing one and the same mechanical process may be connected by the equivalence relation in the form Z = AUBT ,

(2.6)

where A and B are nonsingular objective of (c) type tensors determined by the motion of a particle. They permit unique representations A ≡ QX,

B ≡ QY

(2.7)

with orthogonal tensor Q from polar decomposition (2.2) and right objective tensors X, Y determined by the pre-history of the right pure strain tensor X from (2.2). Right U and left Z tensors satisfying (2.6) are called the analogs of each other. 2.1.3. Objective derivatives (with respect to time). Respectively, the one-to-one ˙ and D[Z] of the right U and the left Z tensors dependence between the rates U may be determined by the equivalence relation [21, 53, 54] ˙ T ≡ A(A−1 ZB−1T )˙ BT . D[Z] = AUB

(2.8)

The diﬀerential operator D[Z] acting on the left tensor Z is named as an objective derivative of the spatial type. It has the forms ˙ −1 Z − Z(BB ˙ −1 )T . ˙ − AA D[Z] := A(A−1 ZB−1T )˙ BT ≡ Z

(2.9)

This deﬁnition generalizes all known notions of objective derivatives (Jaumann, Oldroyd, Cotter–Rivlin, Truesdell, Hill, Sedov, Dienes etc.) [4, 7, 53–58]. 2.1.4. Co-rotational objective derivatives. Let us put A = B = Q – orthogonal tensor (Q−1 ≡ QT ) permitting the representations (2.7) with orthogonal tensors X ≡ Y ≡ R determined by the pre-history of isochoric part of the pure strain tensor X. Then the left objective derivative takes the forms: ˙ − ΨZ + ZΨ, Dcr [Z] := Q(QT ZQ)˙ QT ≡ Z ˙ T, Ψ = QQ

Q = QR.

(2.10)

It is named as co-rotational objective derivative. Well-known Jaumann and Dienes derivatives are co-rotational [54–58].

All co-rotational derivatives have remarkable distinguishing properties: they preserve the symmetry and skew-symmetry of (left) tensors, and they preserve the spherical-deviatoric decomposition of a tensor [54]. 2.2. Generalized theory of stress and strain tensor measures 2.2.1. Axioms of the generalized theory. Axiom 1. Strain measure is a symmetric second rank tensor ε which pre-history determines, completely and in one-to-one manner, a process of a pure deformation – elongation and shear strains of all elementary ﬁbres (independently from a rigid motion accompanying the strains). Axiom 2. Stress measure is a symmetric second rank tensor σ that determines, completely and independently from a rigid motion of a particle (perhaps, together with ε), the inner stress state of a particle – quantities and relative orientation of surface forces on each elementary material area. Axiom 3. In each motion stress and strain measures are energetically conjugate: speciﬁc elementary work of inner contact forces is equal to scalar product of the stress tensor σ and full (substantial) increment of the strain tensor ε. Axiom 4. In classic case of “small strains” (when strains and rotations of material ﬁbres are small in an order Δ 1), the strain measure ε, its material derivative ε˙ by time and the stress measure σ asymptotically coincide (with relative accuracy Δ) with classic Cauchy small strain tensor, strain rate tensor and Cauchy stress tensor respectively. The Axioms 1–4 seem to be principal and obligatory for all stress and strain measures to be introduced. Pares of known measures satisfy these axioms, for example, Green strain tensor E and second Piola–Kirchhoﬀ stress tensor P, or Green strain tensor E and Ilyushin stress tensor Σ, or the pare of “rate type” measures E V and ΣV [7, 20, 22, 58]. Important additional postulates are formulated as the following. Axiom 10 . Spherical and deviatoric parts of the strain measure determine independently the processes of volumetric and shear strains respectively. Axiom 20 . Spherical and deviatoric parts of the stress measure determine independently (maybe, together with the same named parts of the strain measure) the hydrostatic and shearing stresses respectively. Remark 2.1. All these axioms are addressed to stress and strain measures of the right (materially oriented) types of objectivity. By the equivalence relations of the (2.6), (2.8) type the axioms can be co-addressed to the left (spatially oriented) type analogs of the right measures [21, 22, 53]. 2.2.2. Lagrangean class of strain and stress measures. On the base of these axioms, the generalized theory was developed and the so-called full Lagrangean class of measures ε and σ was introduced. The subclass of right measures ε = E and σ = Σ with their spatial analogs E and S named as simple Lagrangean class was

G.L. Brovko, O.A. Ivanova and A.S. Finoshkina

constructed using the equivalence relations (2.6), (2.8): E˙ = A−1 VB−1T ,

D[E] = V,

Σ = AT SB,

(2.11)

where S is the “true” Cauchy stress tensor and V is the strain rate tensor. These measures respond to the equality for speciﬁc elementary work of inner contact forces ˙ W = S : D[E] = Σ : E. (2.12) Remark 2.2. As the choice of the tensors A and B determine uniquely the concrete type of the objective derivative (2.9) as the deﬁnition of the measures (2.11) is uniquely tied with the choice of the objective derivative. All Lagrangean measures satisfy Axioms 1–4. 2.2.3. Co-rotational family of stress and strain measures. Parametric subfamily. Choosing the co-rotational family of objective derivatives (2.10) we obtain the co-rotational family of measures [20, 21]: cr E˙ = (QR)T V(QR),

Dcr [Ecr ] = V,

Σcr = (QR)T S(QR).

(2.13)

Co-rotational measures satisfy all the Axioms 1–4 and 10 , 20 . ˙ j RT = jΩX ≡ j (XX ˙ −1 − X−1 X), ˙ one Putting in (2.10) R ≡ Rj , where R j 2 obtains the subfamily of co-rotational derivatives determined by the choice of a parameter j (an objective scalar isotropically depending on isochoric part of the tensor X): T ˙ ˙ ˙ T Dj [Z] := Qj (QT j ZQj ) Qj ≡ Z − ΨZ + ZΨ, Ψ = Qj Qj ,

Qj = QRj . (2.14)

This subfamily includes known Jaumann and Dienes derivatives. It generates the corresponding parametric subfamily of co-rotational stress and strain measures [23–25]: E˙ j = (QRj )T V(QRj ),

Dj [Ej ] = V,

Σj = (QRj )T S(QRj ).

(2.15)

Remark 2.3. All the co-rotational measures are non-holonomic; they demonstrate holonomic properties only in motions with ﬁxed-in-time right principal strain axes. 2.3. Plasticity at ﬁnite strains 2.3.1. Method of generalization. The method for generalization of constitutive plasticity relations known at small strains to the case of ﬁnite strains consists in reproducing the form of a small-strains relation for material analogs of measures (at ﬁnite strains) from the generalized class (family, subfamily). This method provides the correctness of generalization in view of Noll’s objectivity principle [1–3] and Ilyushin’s macroscopic determinability postulate [7]. Let us consider the simplest example of isotropic elastic incompressible body which constitutive equation at small strains has the well-known form σ = 2μ˜ ε + σI

(2.16)

(σ is the indeﬁnite scalar, ε˜ is the strain deviator). The corresponding generalized constitutive equation at ﬁnite strains for parametric right co-rotational measures Σj and E j (E˜j is the deviatoric part of E j ) has the form Σj = 2μE˜j + σI.

(2.17)

Because of non-holonomy of the measures Σj and E˜j the relation (2.17) describes not the elasticity but hypo-elasticity. In terms of rate tensors the relation (2.17) has the equivalent forms for right and left analogs ˜ + σI. ˙ j = 2μE˜˙ j + σI, Σ ˙ Dj [S] = 2μV ˙ (2.18) 2.3.2. Numerical experiments. For the generalization of the constitutive equation (2.16) to the relation of hypo-elasticity (2.17), (2.18), the parametric subfamily of co-rotational measures (2.15) was chosen with the parameter j of a fading memory [24, 25]: j = j0 exp(−m |ΩX | t) (j0 = const, m = const). (2.19) Numerical experiments were conducted for simultaneous tension and torsion of a cylinder (with initial radius R0 (0) = 1) at ﬁnite strains: ⎧ 6

⎪ λ(t), ⎨ r=R ϕ = κ(t) · λ(t) · Z + Φ, ⎪ ⎩ z = λ(t) · Z, where R, Φ, Z and r, ϕ, z are the cylindrical coordinates of a body point at initial and current conﬁgurations respectively, κ(t) is the torsion, and λ(t) is the extension (κ(t) 0, λ(t) 0). Putting κ(t) = t, λ(t) = 1 + ut, u = const the plots of non-zero components of Cauchy stress tensor were obtained in diﬀerent cases with j0 = 1, m =0, 0.2, 0.5, 1, ∞, and μ = 23 105 MPa). Uniaxial tension: κ ≡ 0, λ(t) = 1 + ut, u = 1. Non-zero stress component is one and the same for all j (for all m) (Fig. 1).

2.4. Conclusive remark Thus, the results of the conducted numerical experiments presented by graphs show that the choice of the pare of tensor stress and strain measures stating the geometrical aspect of a problem demonstrate (at one and the same form of constitutive equation) the essential eﬀect on the analytical properties of the model of a material. It gives the principally new possibility for approximation the experimental data on ﬁnite plasticity in a wide range.

3. Cosserat models For building-up models of Cosserat type continuum systems the method of mechanical modeling [26] was applied. The main idea of the method consists in detailed analysis of the structure of a media and elaborating the appropriate initial model (often as discrete construction), derivation of constitutive and motion equations of the initial model, and averaging procedure for obtaining equations of a resulting continuum model. Here results of the method application are illustrated on example of onedimensional Cosserat model, namely the model of a supplied beam.

3.1. Model of a supplied Cosserat beam 3.1.1. Equations of the model. The initial model consists of a homogeneous beam supplied by identical rigid massive inclusions periodically placed along the longitudinal line of the beam on aces (spindles) parallel to one another and perpendicular to the beam line. We shall consider bending-tension motions of this construction in the plane orthogonal to the aces assuming that the inclusions are capable to rotate around their spindles being connected with the nearby carrying elements of the beam by elastic joints and with their nearest neighbors by elastic belt drives through transmissive weightless pulleys. The undeformed (reference) and deformed conﬁgurations of the supplied beam in its motion (in-plane bending-tension of the supporting beam and rotations of rigid massive inclusions) are schematically shown on Fig. 7.

Massive inclusions are shown as dark circles, transmissive weightless pulleys as transparent circles, belt drive as a dashed line. A cell of the construction is picked out with chain line rectangle. Considering a cell of the construction as an element picked out in Fig. 7 one can derive the motion equations, the expression of the power of inner interactions (forces and moments) showing the pairs of energetically conjugate generalized forces and generalized displacements, and build-up the constitutive relations for the initial discrete construction. Then the averaging procedure at a → 0 preserving the values of linear densities of force and moment parameters and characteristics of the supplied beam leads to equations of the ﬁnal continuum model.

(3.1)

Here r is the position vector of a beam point (u and w are its projections on x and y axes), λ is the elongation of the beam element, ϕincl is the absolute angle of the inclusion rotation, ξ is the longitudinal coordinate in undeformed conﬁguration, F is the force vector in a beam section (P and Q are the longitudinal and shearing projections of F), Mbend is the bending moment of the supporting beam, Mint is the interactive moment of the system of inclusions, Mincl→beam is the moment action of inclusions on supporting beam elements, ρ is the linear mass density, J is the linear density of inertia moments of inclusions, and f , m, min are the linear densities of external force, external moment acting on a beam element and external moment acting on inclusions. The expression of the power of internal forces for continuum model takes the form ∂ϕbeam ˙ ∂ϕincl ˙ ˜ ˙ W(i) = P · λ+M +Mint · + Mincl→beam ·(ϕincl − ϕbeam )˙ . bend · ∂ξ ∂ξ (3.2) The simple variant of the constitutive equations expressing elastic properties of the construction holds the form ∂ϕbeam ∂ϕincl , Mint = Cincl , P = Ctens (λ − 1), Mbend = Cbend (3.3) ∂ξ ∂ξ Mincl→beam = Cincl→beam (ϕincl − ϕbeam ) with material constants Ctens , Cbend , Cincl and Cincl→beam . The equations (3.1), (3.3) express the conditions of dynamic equilibrium of elastic one-dimensional Cosserat continuum (in this plane case). In general case, the substitution of the constitutive equations (3.3) into the equations (3.1) leads to the system of one vector and two scalar equations for unknown functions r, ϕincl , Q (quantities λ and ϕbeam are expressed through r). Particular and special models should be pointed out: 1. Disconnected, or uncoupled model. In the case of absence of interactions between the beam and inclusions, i.e., when Mincl→beam = 0, the ﬁrst two equations (3.1) describe the motion of the beam (weighted by inclusions) and the third one independently describes the dynamic of inclusions’ rotations. 2. Momentless model: Mincl ≡ Mint ≡ 0 (for Cincl = 0). The “belt connections” are vanishing, but Mincl→beam and ϕincl must not be equal to 0. 3. Pseudo-continuum (constrained model). The inner kinematic constrain ϕincl ≡ ϕbeam eliminates ϕincl from the set of decision variables, and the

3.1.2. Linearization at small movements. When the displacements u and w, speciﬁc elongation ε = λ − 1 and angles of the beam elements ϕbeam are small then the approximate equations hold (κ is the curvature of the beam line): ∂u ∂ϕbeam ∼ ∂ 2 w ∂w ∂ ∼ ∂ , λ∼ , ϕbeam ∼ , κ∼ ξ∼ . = = 1, ε ∼ = = = = x, = ∂ξ ∂x ∂x ∂x ∂x ∂x2

∂ϕincl , ϕincl − ϕbeam small enough, the consti∂x tutive equations (3.3) (in view of (3.4)) take the form similar to classic [59–61]: For the value ranges of ε, κ,

The substitution of (3.5) to (3.1) leads to the system of equations for four unknown functions u, w, ϕincl , Q of arguments x and t: ∂ 2u ∂2u + f = ρ , x ∂x2 ∂t2 ∂2w ∂Q + fy = ρ 2 , ∂x ∂t

in statics it agrees with the well-known Zhuravskiy equations [60] (taking into account the mass of inclusions), the second equation separately describes the rotations of inclusions (pulleys) under the external linear-speciﬁc moment min , and (additionally) in the case of C = 0 (momentless model) the disks rotations are independent from one another. 3.2. Small vibrations 3.2.1. Free vibrations. Concentrating the attention at the system (3.7) (eliminating the consideration of the ﬁrst equation (3.6)) let us study free linear vibrations (in-plane deﬂections and inclusions rotations) of the system assuming K = 0 and C = 0 as well as the absence of external forces and moments fy = 0, m = 0 and min = 0, and accepting boundary conditions on the both edges x = 0 and x = l as follows ∂2w ∂ϕincl w = 0, =0 (3.8) = 0, ∂x2 ∂x (pinning of the edges and absence of moment actions on the ends of the beam and end inclusions).

hence, the solutions of the equation (3.12) are the real nonzero numbers ±ω1 (p), ±ω2 (p); let us agree that ω1 (p) > 0, ω2 (p) > 0 and ω1 (p) ω2 (p). In general case (K = 0) for each p from (3.11) and each corresponding (by (3.14)) one of two obtained values of ω, the non-trivial solution (3.11) of the system (3.10) holds the proportionality between A and B A = a(p, ω) · Φ,

where Φ is an arbitrary (nonzero) constant, and a(p, ω) =

Thus, each solution of the problem (3.7), (3.8) in the form (3.9) is the pare of functions wj = aj Φj sin pxe±iωj t ,

(j = 1, 2),

where the signs + or − as well as the integer j in the both equalities are chosen as the same, Φj is an arbitrary nonzero constant, p is any of values from (3.11), ωj = ωj (p) and aj = a(p, ωj ) are determined by the formulae (3.14) and (3.16). The linearity of the problem (3.7), (3.8) permits each linear combination of pares of functions (3.17) with constant coeﬃcients be a solution too. Every possible real-valued combination is a pare of sums (with natural k): $ 0 πkx # (k) (k) (k) (k) (k) (k) (k) (k) w = sin a1 Φ1 sin (ω1 t + ϕ1 ) + a2 Φ2 sin (ω2 t + ϕ2 ) , l k $ 0 πkx # (k) (k) (k) (k) (k) (k) Φ1 sin (ω1 t + ϕ1 ) + Φ2 sin (ω2 t + ϕ2 ) , ϕincl = cos l k (3.18) (k) (k) where Φj , ϕj are independent arbitrary constants, while deﬁnite constants (k)

The pare of functions represents the general form for the solution of the problem (3.7), (3.8) (in frames of made assumptions). The essential feature of the solution consists in the fact that, for each oscillation mode determined by a natural k, there exist exactly two values of frequency and two forms of oscillations. The same feature of oscillations is pointed out for another model of a beam constructed in the frames of other approach based on the micro-polar elasticity theory [62]. In the case of disconnected model (K = 0) the consideration turns simpler, and the solution corresponds to independent oscillations of the beam and system of inclusions.

Example. Here are given the calculations of the problem (3.7), (3.8) and its solution (3.18) in application to the considered constructions (Fig. 7) of “antenna type” frame consisting of a metallic supporting rod with periodically placed along its line perpendicular cross rods playing the role of massive inclusions; cross rods are supposed conditionally rigid, elastically joint to the supporting rod, their tips are connected by a rubber thread (as an elastic belt drive).

Vibrations in a ﬂuid-ﬂow (gas-ﬂow). The same model of the supplied beam was considered in view of equations (3.7) in the case when fy = 0, m = 0, but min = gϕincl ,

(3.19)

with the coeﬃcient g. At g > 0 the moment min tends to increase the angular deviation of inclusions, and at g < 0 it tends to decrease the angular deviation. The condition (3.19) could be interpreted as the inﬂuence of homogeneous approach gas- or ﬂuid-ﬂow with the constant velocity v and mass density ρ∗ onto the inclusions equipped by winglets turned towards the ﬂow (g > 0) or along the ﬂow (g < 0). At small angular deviations ϕincl of inclusions the quantity g may be put as constant: g = cρ∗ v 2 , (3.20) where c is an aerodynamic constant of the same sign as g. The same approach as in the case of free vibrations leads us to new expression of discriminant 2 D (p) = (JEJcross ) p8 + 2JEJcross (KJ − ρC) p6 # $ (3.21) + (ρC − KJ)2 − 2ρJEJcross (K − g) p4 2

In all cases the negative value of a squared frequency discovers the phenomenon of “divergence”: exponential one-way deviation of the system (instead of oscillation regime). 3.3. Closing remarks 3.3.1. Other models. Using the method of mechanical (constructive) modeling, other one-dimensional Cosserat models were constructed demonstrating diﬀerent properties. For example, the model geometrically similar to considered one, but having elastic – perfect plastic properties is able to have inﬁnite number of equilibrium forms at the same loading factors (in a certain range).

On Geometrical and Analytical Aspects

69

The method of mechanical (constructive) modeling was also applied to similar 2-dimensional systems. Motion equations (in Euler description) of corresponding 2-dimensional Cosserat continuum model have appeared in the form: div S + ρf − ρ¨ u = 0,

div M + 2 coax S + ρg − ρj · ω ˙ = 0,

where u and ω are the displacement and the rotational velocity vectors (in-plane movement), S and M are stress and moment-stress tensors, coax S is the coaxial vector to S, f and g are the external force and external moment, ρ is the mass density, j is the moment of inertia (2nd rank tensor). The equivalent equations are derived in Lagrangean description. 3.3.2. Conclusion. Thus, the building of Cosserat continuum models from appropriate initial discrete structures through the indicated method of mechanical (constructive) modeling, demonstrates the productivity of a clear geometric approach to building-up the destination analytical properties of a product model: • on the one hand, it permits to immediately clarify the mechanical sense of all Cosserat characteristics, • on the other hand, it demonstrates the principal availability for real existence (naturally or artiﬁcially) of Cosserat type continua and drops a hint at possible ways for technological manufacturing of such materials with predetermined properties.

4. Saturated porous media By using the method of mechanical modeling and the hypothesis of interpenetrative continua, the new model of multi-phase saturated porous media was built on the base of [48] and following results [49–52]. The model is able to circumscribe deformations of a skeleton at arbitrary strains (in Lagrangean description) and arbitrary motions of movable (ﬂuid, gas) components through the skeleton (in Eulerian description). Here we present the variant of a three-phase porous conglomerate consisting of solid skeleton made from an incompressible material saturated by an incompressible ﬂuid and compressible barotropic gas (vacuum cavities are considered as extremely rareﬁed gas). Lagrangean independent variables for skeleton are x, t and Eulerian variables for ﬂuid and gas are x, t: x ∈ Ω0 , x ∈ Ω where Ω0 and Ω are domains of the reference and current conﬁgurations of the skeleton. 4.1. Equations of the model According to the model [48] the state of the conglomerate at each moment is characterized by the following functions (unknown in a problem): vp , vs , vf , vg – speciﬁc volumes of porous space, skeleton, ﬂuid and gas phases, ρg m , pp – average in a macro-volume true mass density of the gas and porous pressure, f – position vector of skeleton points in a current conﬁguration (x = f (x, t) is the Lagrangean law of motion), A – deformation gradient of the skeleton, E – Green strain tensor

(eﬀective value), Ss – eﬀective Cauchy stress tensor of the skeleton, vs , vf , vg – velocity vectors (average in a macro-volume) of skeleton, ﬂuid and gas particles (39 numeric quantities at all). The motion of the conglomerate is regulated [48] by the equations for the speciﬁc volumes vp + vs = 1, vp = vf + vg , (4.1) skeleton kinematic equations d f (x, t) 1 T , A = ∇x f , E = A ·A−I (x = f (x, t)), (4.2) vs (x, t) = dt 2 continuity equations for the skeleton phase (vs0 is the skeleton speciﬁc volume in a reference conﬁguration) vs0 vs = (θ = J − 1, J ≡ | det A|), (4.3) 1+θ for ﬂuid and gas phases dvf + vf div vf = 0, (4.4) dt d (vg ρg m ) + vg ρg m div vg = 0, (4.5) dt by motion equations of ﬂuid, gas and skeleton phases accordingly dvf , (4.6) div Sf + ρf gf + ff = ρf dt dvg div Sg + ρg gg + fg = ρg , (4.7) dt dvs div Ss + ρs gs + fs = ρs , (4.8) dt where gf , gg , gs are given external body forces (mass densities), ff , fg , fs are interactive (from other phases) body forces (volume densities) on ﬂuid, gas and skeleton, and, ﬁnally, by constitutive equations of barotropic gas (with known function pgas ) (4.9) pp = pgas (ρg m ) and skeleton phase (with known mapping F ) (4.10) Ss = Q(x, t)F [E(x, τ )]t0 τ t ; pp , x QT (x, t) (Q is the orthogonal tensor of polar decomposition of deformation gradient A). Here true densities of ﬂuid media ρf m and skeleton material ρs m are known constants, and eﬀective densities of skeleton, ﬂuid and gas phases are deﬁned as ρs = vs ρs m , ρf = vf ρf m , ρg = vg ρg m . In (4.9) the hypothesis of equality between average true values of ﬂuid and gas pressure is accepted. Eﬀective stresses of ﬂuid, gas and solid phases are deﬁned by Sf , Sg , Ss . Constitutive equations of ﬂuid and gas phases are supposed in the form Sf = −pf I + λf ϑf + 2μf Vf ,

Sg = −pg I + λg ϑg + 2μg Vg ,

(4.11)

On Geometrical and Analytical Aspects

71

where λf , μf , λg , μg are the eﬀective viscosity coeﬃcients of ﬂuid and gas phases (frequently assumed constant), pf = vf pp , pg = vg pp are eﬀective values of pressure in ﬂuid and gas phases, Vf = sym ∇x vf , Vg = sym ∇x vg are eﬀective strain rate tensors in these phases, and ϑf = tr Vf ≡ div vf , ϑg = tr Vg ≡ div vg are corresponding rates of relative volume expansion. In order to decline the number of searched functions the quantities Sf , Sg are eliminated from the set of unknown quantities and are used in equations (4.6), (4.7) only as deﬁnitions of the form (4.11). Thus, the equations (4.1)–(4.10) taking into account of (4.11) compose the system of 39 numerical equations for 39 previously mentioned unknown functions. Initial and boundary conditions enclose the formulation of a boundary value problem for three-phase model of a saturated porous medium of type [48] in a general case. Simpliﬁcations of the system take place in special cases and in the case of small strains of a skeleton and small motions of ﬂuid and gas components. The equations of this three-phase model may be reduced to those for a two-phase model (skeleton-ﬂuid or skeleton-gas). 4.2. Constitutive relations 4.2.1. Eﬀective properties of phases. The formulation of the problem needs the preliminary (experimentally) determination of the concrete eﬀective mechanical properties of a conglomerate: eﬀective viscosity coeﬃcients of ﬂuid and gas phases λf , μf , λg , μg in (4.11), the form of the function pgas in (4.9), the form of the mapping F in the constitutive equation (4.10) of the skeleton phase (taking into account its saturation), and forms of the interactive forces ff , fg , fs in (4.6)–(4.8). The function pgas characterizing the gas barotropy is determined by its thermomechanical nature and in certain cases could be taken as linear. Viscosity coeﬃcients λf , μf , λg , μg depend on natural properties of ﬂuid and gas media, on speciﬁc volumes of their phases in a conglomerate, on geometry of porous space, on temperature and penetration velocities; in isothermal processes within certain range of speciﬁc volumes and velocities these coeﬃcients could be put as functions of porosity, and at homogeneous porosity as constants. Eﬀective mechanical properties of the skeleton phase possess a more complicated nature. In the case of small strains the constitutive equation for a linearly elastic isotropic saturated skeleton could be taken in the form [63] Ss = −vs pp I + λθI + 2με

(4.12)

already used in [47, 52] for two-phase models. 4.2.2. Interactive forces. The volumetric interactive body forces ff , fg , fs appearing in (4.6), (4.7), (4.8) are supposed consisting of static (acting in statics and in motion) and dynamic (acting only in motion) components fs = fs stat + fs dyn ,

ff = ff stat + ff dyn ,

fg = fg stat + fg dyn .

(4.13)

As phase interactions in statics are regulated only by porous pressure pp and speciﬁc volumes, we shall put, after simple geometrical calculations, the static

components in the form fs stat = pp grad vs ,

ff stat = pp grad vf ,

fg stat = pp grad vg ,

(4.14)

which shows that static components are generated only by non-homogeneity of porosity and by variability of speciﬁc volumes of ﬂuid and gas phases in pores. For dynamic components in (4.13), taking into account pair interactions between phases, the following expressions could be accepted fs = fs←f + fs←g ,

ff = −fs←f + ff←g ,

fg = −fs←g − ff←g ,

(4.15)

where fs←f , fs←g , ff←g denote dynamic forces acting from ﬂuid on skeleton, from gas on skeleton and from gas on ﬂuid. Supposing dependence of these dynamic force components on vectors of velocities vs , vf , vg and accelerations ws , wf , wg in pares of the phases fs←f = fs←f (vs , vf , ws , wf ),

fs←g = fs←g (vs , vg , ws , wg ),

ff←g = ff←g (vf , vg , wf , wg ),

(4.16)

applying the approach of [64] based on the principle of material objectivity [1– 3], developing the results of [47, 50, 52] we derive the general reduced forms of constitutive equations for dynamic interactive forces fs←f = fs←f (vf rel s , wf rel s ) vf0 rel s , fs←g = fs←g (vg rel s , wg rel s ) vg0 rel s ,

(4.17)

ff←g = ff←g (vg rel f , wg rel f ) vg0 rel f , where vf rel s , vg rel s , vg rel f vf0 rel s , vg0 rel s , vg0 rel f are modules and unit directional vectors of relative velocities of the phases, derivatives wf rel s = v˙ f rel s , wg rel s = v˙ g rel s , wg rel f = v˙ g rel f are the projections of the relative acceleration vectors wf rel s , wg rel s , wg rel f on according directional vectors of relative velocities, and fs←f , fs←g , ff←g are material scalar (non-negative) functions (modules of the vectors (4.17)). Then, taking into account the dependence of the modules of interactive forces (4.17) on the typical size d of the porous structure (for example, in reference conﬁguration), on speciﬁc volumes vs , vf , vg , modules of relative velocities vf rel s , vg rel s , vg rel f and collinear relative accelerations wf rel s , wg rel s , wg rel f , on eﬀective mass densities ρf , ρg and viscosities λf , μf , λg , μg of ﬂuid and gas phases fs←f = fs←f (d, vs , vf , ρf , λf , μf , vf rel s , wf rel s ), fs←g = fs←g (d, vs , vg , ρg , λg , μg , vg rel s , wg rel s ), ff←g = ff←g (d, vf , vg , ρf , ρg , λf , μf , λg , μg , vg rel f , wg rel f ),

Thus, the quantities (4.22) are dimensional and depend on arguments of according functions (4.18), besides the last two ones – relative velocities and accelerations. Within a certain range of the arguments the quantities (4.22) may be set to constants.

The terms in (4.21) marked by indexes “F”, “D” and “B” have the meaning of interactive forces of frontal resistance (dynamic velocity pressure), viscous resistance (Darcy law) and inertial resistance (of Biot added mass type). Relations (4.21) together with (4.13)–(4.15) lead to the ﬁnal form of constitutive equations for full (static and dynamic) interactive forces. In fact, the representations of dynamic components of interactive forces may be simpliﬁed in concrete cases (see, for instance, [66] and [47, 49, 50]). 4.2.3. Remarks on compound interactions. In assumption of compound dynamic interactions consisting of continuously distributed volumetric forces and moments, acceptable forms of constitutive equations of such interactions for two-phase (solidsolid and solid-ﬂuid) media were studied [47, 50] in view of invariance [67, 68]. For a saturated porous medium (solid-ﬂuid conglomerate), supposing dependence of such a force f and a moment M on vectors of relative velocities vrel = vf − vs and relative accelerations wrel = wf − ws as well as on relative spin (skew-symmetric tensor) Ωrel = Ωf − Ωs , the following forms of constitutive equations for these compound interactions were obtained: f = avrel + bΩrel · vrel + cΩ2rel · vrel + dE : Ωrel , M = AΩrel + Bskw(vrel ⊗ Ωrel · vrel )+ + Cskw(vrel ⊗

Ω2rel

(4.23)

· vrel ) + DE · vrel ,

where a, b, c, d, A, B, C, D are functions of the scalar product wrel · vrel and mutual invariants of vrel and Ωrel , and E is Levy–Civita tensor. The relations (4.23) show, in particular, that, besides the front resistance force, new types of interactions exerted by the ﬂuid on the skeleton may appear, namely, lifting (shifting) forces as well as overturning and rotating (“screw”) moments. Such interactions may be caused forcibly (relatively to ﬂuid ﬂow) by a pore tortuosity [69] organized in a special geometrical order. Accounting of distributed moment interactions leads out the frames of classic continuum mechanics (stress tensor becomes non-symmetric) and needs to involve non-classic theories including Cosserat theory [9].

5. Conclusion The considered models and problems illustrate the deep connection between geometrical an analytical characteristics of media and show the usefulness of its account in building-up constitutive relations – the central determining element in formulations of problems. The method of generalization of plasticity constitutive equations to ﬁnite strains (Sect. 2) based on the new theory of tensor strain and stress measures demonstrates the essential eﬀect of geometrical properties of diﬀerent objective derivatives (even from one subfamily of co-rotational ones) on analytical properties of the constitutive equation (taken in one and the same form), that is, on

The considered example of the hypo-elasticity model in numerical experiments shows that the model behavior has rather diﬀerent character depending on diﬀerent choice of an objective derivative and covers a wide range of responses. The method was also applied to diﬀerent models of plasticity (known at small strains) [23–25]; the obtained constitutive equations of plasticity models at ﬁnite strains also demonstrate the strong inﬂuence of objective derivatives and a wide range of responses, which seems to be capable to approximate a wide range of experimental data in ﬁnite plasticity. Co-rotational measures satisfying all the Axioms 1–4 and 10 , 20 permit the mechanical interpretations of their spherical and deviator parts in the very same manner as in the case of small strains, and their deviators comply the geometrical representation in Ilyushin’s 5-dimensional space. It should be especially marked out that this representation permitted incidentally to make clear the geometrical nature of well-known “anomaly” [70–73] of stress oscillations in simple shear of hypoelastic (and plastic as well) materials modeled with Jaumann objective derivative (included in the considered sub-family): the strain trajectory of this process in Ilyushin’s space has the form of a circle, and stresses vector (proportional to deformations vector) performs periodical oscillatory movement. The method of mechanical modeling applied here to building-up Cosserat type models (Sect. 3) and models of saturated porous media (Sect. 4) consists of three steps: elaboration of the initial model schematically (discretely) representing a studied medium, derivation of equations for initial model, and averaging procedure to obtain equations for continuum model. The ﬁrst step provides a detailed analysis (ﬁrst of all, from geometrical point of view) of the structure of a representative volume of the medium, this step is the most creative. The second one is mainly technical, the complexity level of its realization depends on the complexity of a geometric structure of the initial model. The third step is usually based on certain assumptions for averaging procedure, it is the most diﬃcult in substantiation and exploration, and may lead to diﬀerent results depending on the assumptions. The method of mechanical modeling may be applied to study of media with complicated mechanical properties (in that number non-classic type properties) as well as to elaboration of calculated basis for technological manufacture of new structures and constructive materials with desired predetermined mechanical properties, including micro-systems and nano-materials.

Robin-to-Robin Maps and Krein-Type Resolvent Formulas for Schr¨ odinger Operators on Bounded Lipschitz Domains Fritz Gesztesy and Marius Mitrea Dedicated to the memory of M.G. Krein (1907–1989).

Abstract. We study Robin-to-Robin maps, and Krein-type resolvent formulas for Schr¨ odinger operators on bounded Lipschitz domains in Rn , n 2, with generalized Robin boundary conditions. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary: 35J10, 35J25, 35Q40; Secondary: 35P05, 47A10, 47F05. Keywords. Multi-dimensional Schr¨ odinger operators, bounded Lipschitz domains, Robin-to-Dirichlet and Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps.

1. Introduction This paper is a direct continuation of our recent paper [35] in which we studied Schr¨ odinger operators on bounded Lipschitz and C 1,r -domains with generalized Robin boundary conditions and discussed associated Robin-to-Dirichlet maps and Krein-type resolvent formulas. The paper [35], in turn, was a continuation of the earlier papers [32] and [36], where we studied general, not necessarily self-adjoint, Schr¨ odinger operators on C 1,r -domains Ω ⊂ Rn , n ∈ N, n 2, with compact boundaries ∂Ω, (1/2) < r < 1 (including unbounded domains, i.e., exterior domains) with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on ∂Ω. Our results also applied to convex domains Ω and to domains satisfying a uniform exterior ball condition. In addition, a careful discussion of locally singular potentials V with close to optimal local behavior of V was provided in [32] and [36]. Based upon work partially supported by the US National Science Foundation under Grant Nos. DMS-0400639 and FRG-0456306.

In the current paper and in [35], we are exploring a diﬀerent direction: Rather than discussing potentials with close to optimal local behavior, we will assume that V ∈ L∞ (Ω; dn x) and hence essentially replace it by zero nearly everywhere in this paper. On the other hand, instead of treating Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions at ∂Ω, we now consider generalized Robin and again Dirichlet boundary conditions, but under minimal smoothness conditions on the domain Ω, that is, we now consider Lipschitz domains Ω. Additionally, to reduce some technicalities, we will assume that Ω is bounded throughout this paper. The principal new result in this paper is a derivation of Krein-type resolvent formulas for Schr¨ odinger operators on bounded Lipschitz domains Ω in connection with two diﬀerent generalized Robin boundary conditions on ∂Ω. In Section 2 we recall our recent detailed discussion of self-adjoint Laplacians with generalized Robin (and Dirichlet) boundary conditions on ∂Ω in [35]. In Section 3 we summarize generalized Robin and Dirichlet boundary value problems and introduce associated Robin-to-Dirichlet and Dirichlet-to-Robin maps following [35]. Section 4 is devoted to Krein-type resolvent formulas connecting Dirichlet and generalized Robin Laplacians with the help of the Robin-to-Dirichlet map. Section 5 contains our principal new results and studies Robin-to-Robin maps and general Krein-type formulas involving Robin-to-Robin maps. Appendix A collects useful material on Sobolev spaces and trace maps for Lipschitz domains. Appendix B summarizes pertinent facts on sesquilinear forms and their associated linear operators. While we formulate and prove all results in this paper for self-adjoint generalized Robin Laplacians and Dirichlet Laplacians, we emphasize that all results in this paper immediately extend to closed Schr¨odinger operators HΘ,Ω = −ΔΘ,Ω +V , dom HΘ,Ω = dom − ΔΘ,Ω in L2 (Ω; dn x) for (not necessarily real-valued) potentials V satisfying V ∈ L∞ (Ω; dn x), by consistently replacing −Δ by −Δ + V , etc. More generally, all results extend directly to Kato–Rellich bounded potentials V relative to −ΔΘ,Ω with bound less than one. Next, we brieﬂy list most of the notational conventions used throughout this paper. Let H be a separable complex Hilbert space, ( · , · )H the scalar product in H (linear in the second factor), and IH the identity operator in H. Next, let T be a linear operator mapping (a subspace of) a Banach space into another, with dom(T ) and ran(T ) denoting the domain and range of T . The spectrum (resp., essential spectrum) of a closed linear operator in H will be denoted by σ( · ) (resp., σess ( · )). The Banach spaces of bounded and compact linear operators in H are denoted by B(H) and B∞ (H), respectively. Similarly, B(H1 , H2 ) and B∞ (H1 , H2 ) will be used for bounded and compact operators between two Hilbert spaces H1 and H2 . Moreover, X1 → X2 denotes the continuous embedding of the Banach space X1 into the Banach space X2 . Throughout this manuscript, if X denotes a Banach space, X ∗ denotes the adjoint space of continuous conjugate linear functionals on X, that is, the conjugate dual space of X (rather than the usual dual space of continuous linear functionals on X). This avoids the well-known awkward

83

distinction between adjoint operators in Banach and Hilbert spaces (cf., e.g., the pertinent discussion in [29, p. 3–4]). Finally, a notational comment: For obvious reasons in connection with quantum mechanical applications, we will, with a slight abuse of notation, dub −Δ (rather than Δ) as the “Laplacian” in this paper.

2. Laplace operators with generalized Robin boundary conditions We recall various properties of general Laplacians −ΔΘ,Ω in L2 (Ω; dn x) including Dirichlet, −ΔD,Ω , and Neumann, −ΔN,Ω , Laplacians, generalized Robin-type Laplacians, and Laplacians corresponding to classical Robin boundary conditions associated with bounded open Lipschitz domains. For details we refer to our recent paper [35]. We start with introducing our precise assumptions on the set Ω and the boundary operator Θ which subsequently will be employed in deﬁning the boundary condition on ∂Ω: Hypothesis 2.1. Let n ∈ N, n ≥ 2, and assume that Ω ⊂ Rn is an open, bounded, nonempty Lipschitz domain. We refer to Appendix A for more details on Lipschitz domains. For simplicity of notation we will denote the identity operators in L2 (Ω; dn x) and L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) by IΩ and I∂Ω , respectively. In addition, we refer to Appendix A for our notation in connection with Sobolev spaces. Hypothesis 2.2. Assume Hypothesis 2.1 and suppose that aΘ is a closed sesquilinear form in the Hilbert space L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) with domain H 1/2 (∂Ω) × H 1/2 (∂Ω), bounded from below by cΘ ∈ R (hence, in particular, aΘ is symmetric). Denote by Θ cΘ I∂Ω the self-adjoint operator in L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) uniquely associated with aΘ 1 ∈ B H 1/2 (∂Ω), H −1/2 (∂Ω) the extension of Θ as discussed (cf. (B.27)) and by Θ in (B.26) and (B.32). Thus one has 7 8 7 8 1g 1f f, Θ = g, Θ , f, g ∈ H 1/2 (∂Ω). 1/2 1/2 7 8 1f f, Θ ≥ cΘ f 2L2(∂Ω;dn−1 ω) , f ∈ H 1/2 (∂Ω). 1/2

f ∈ H s (∂Ω), g ∈ L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) → H −s (∂Ω), s ∈ [0, 1], and dn−1 ω denotes the surface measure on ∂Ω. Hypothesis 2.1 on Ω is used throughout this paper. Similarly, Hypothesis 2.2 1 is involved. (Later in this section, is assumed whenever the boundary operator Θ and the next, we will occasionally strengthen our hypotheses.) 0 We introduce the boundary trace operator γD (the Dirichlet trace) by 0 γD : C(Ω) → C(∂Ω),

0 γD u = u|∂Ω .

(2.6)

Then there exists a bounded, linear operator γD (cf., e.g., [58, Theorem 3.38]), γD : H s (Ω) → H s−(1/2) (∂Ω) → L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω), γD : H

0 . That is, the two Dirichlet trace operwhose action is compatible with that of γD ators coincide on the intersection of their domains. Moreover, we recall that

γD : H s (Ω) → H s−(1/2) (∂Ω) is onto for 1/2 < s < 3/2.

(2.8)

While, in the class of bounded Lipschitz subdomains in Rn , the end-point s cases s = 1/2 and s = 3/2 of γD ∈ B H (Ω), H s−(1/2) (∂Ω) fail, we nonetheless have γD ∈ B H (3/2)+ε (Ω), H 1 (∂Ω) , ε > 0. (2.9) See Lemma A.2 for a proof. Below we augment this with the following result: Lemma 2.3. Assume Hypothesis 2.1. Then for each s > −3/2, the restriction to boundary operator (2.6) extends to a linear operator , γD : u ∈ H 1/2 (Ω) Δu ∈ H s (Ω) → L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω), (2.10) is compatible with (2.7), and is bounded when {u ∈ H 1/2 (Ω) | Δu ∈ H s (Ω) is equipped with the natural graph norm u → u H 1/2 (Ω) + Δu H s (Ω) . Furthermore, for each s > −3/2, the restriction to boundary operator (2.6) also extends to a linear operator , (2.11) γD : u ∈ H 3/2 (Ω) Δu ∈ H 1+s (Ω) → H 1 (∂Ω). 3/2 The latter - is compatible with (2.7), and is bounded when {u ∈ H (Ω) | Δu ∈ 1+s H (Ω) is equipped with the natural graph norm u → u H 3/2 (Ω) + Δu H 1+s (Ω) .

Next, we introduce the operator γN (the Neumann trace) by γN = ν · γD ∇ : H s+1 (Ω) → L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω),

1/2 < s < 3/2,

(2.12)

where ν denotes the outward pointing normal unit vector to ∂Ω. It follows from (2.7) that γN is also a bounded operator. We wish to further extend the action of

the Neumann trace operator (2.12) to other (related) settings. To set the stage, assume Hypothesis 2.1 and recall that the inclusion ∗ ι : H s (Ω) → H 1 (Ω) , s > −1/2, (2.13) is well deﬁned and bounded. Then, we introduce the weak Neumann trace operator , γ 1N : u ∈ H 1 (Ω) Δu ∈ H s (Ω) → H −1/2 (∂Ω), s > −1/2, (2.14) as follows: Given u ∈ H 1 (Ω) with Δu ∈ H s (Ω) for some s > −1/2, we set (with ι as in (2.13)) φ, γ 1N u1/2 = dn x ∇Φ(x) · ∇u(x) + H 1 (Ω) Φ, ι(Δu)(H 1 (Ω))∗ , (2.15) Ω

for all φ ∈ H (∂Ω) and Φ ∈ H 1 (Ω) such that γD Φ = φ. We note that this deﬁnition is independent of the particular extension Φ of φ, and that γ 1N is a bounded extension of the Neumann trace operator γN deﬁned in (2.12). As was the case of the Dirichlet trace, the (weak) Neumann trace operator (2.14), (2.15) is onto (cf. [35]). For additional details we refer to equations (A.8)–(A.10). Next, we wish to discuss the end-point case s = 1/2 of (2.12). 1/2

Lemma 2.4. Assume Hypothesis 2.1. Then the Neumann trace operator (2.12) also extends to , γN : u ∈ H 3/2 (Ω) Δu ∈ L2 (Ω; dn x) → L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) 1 (2.16) 3/2 2 n in a bounded fashion when the space {u ∈ H (Ω) | Δu ∈ L (Ω; d x) is equipped with the natural graph norm u → u H 3/2 (Ω) + Δu L2(Ω;dn x) . This extension is compatible with (2.14). For future purposes, we shall need yet another extension of the concept of Neumann trace. This requires some preparations (throughout, Hypothesis 2.1 is enforced). First, we recall that, as is well known (see, e.g., [40]), one has the natural identiﬁcation 1 ∗ , H (Ω) ≡ u ∈ H −1 (Rn ) supp (u) ⊆ Ω . (2.17) Note that the latter is a closed subspace of H −1 (Rn ). In particular, if RΩ u = u|Ω denotes the operator of restriction to Ω (considered in the sense of distributions), then ∗ RΩ : H 1 (Ω) → H −1 (Ω) (2.18) is well deﬁned, linear and bounded. Furthermore, the composition of RΩ in (2.18) with ι in (2.13) is the natural inclusion of H s (Ω) into H −1 (Ω). Next, given z ∈ C, set , ∗ Wz (Ω) = (u, f ) ∈ H 1 (Ω) × H 1 (Ω) (−Δ − z)u = f |Ω in D (Ω) , (2.19) ∗ equipped with the norm inherited from H 1 (Ω) × H 1 (Ω) . We then denote by γ 1N : Wz (Ω) → H −1/2 (∂Ω)

for all φ ∈ H 1/2 (∂Ω) and Φ ∈ H 1 (Ω) such that γD Φ = φ. Once again, this deﬁnition is independent of the particular extension Φ of φ. Also, as was the case of the Dirichlet trace, the ultra weak Neumann trace operator (2.20), (2.21) is onto (this is a corollary of Theorem 4.4). For additional details we refer to equations (A.8)–(A.10). The relationship between the ultra weak Neumann trace operator (2.20), (2.21) and the weak Neumann trace operator (2.14), (2.15) can be described as follows. Given s > −1/2 and z ∈ C, denote by jz : {u ∈ H 1 (Ω) Δu ∈ H s (Ω) → Wz (Ω) (2.22) the injection jz (u) = (u, ι(−Δu − zu)),

u ∈ H 1 (Ω), Δu ∈ H s (Ω),

(2.23)

where ι is as in (2.13). Then γ 1N ◦ jz = 1 γN .

(2.24)

Thus, from this perspective, 1 γN can also be regarded as a bounded extension of the Neumann trace operator γN deﬁned in (2.12). Moving on, we shall now describe a family of self-adjoint Laplace operators −ΔΘ,Ω in L2 (Ω; dn x) indexed by the boundary operator Θ. We will refer to −ΔΘ,Ω as the generalized Robin Laplacian. Theorem 2.5. Assume Hypothesis 2.2. The generalized Robin Laplacian, −ΔΘ,Ω , deﬁned by − ΔΘ,Ω = −Δ,

, dom(−ΔΘ,Ω ) = u ∈ H 1 (Ω) Δu ∈ L2 (Ω; dn x); 1 D u = 0 in H −1/2 (∂Ω) , γN + Θγ 1 is self-adjoint and bounded from below in L2 (Ω; dn x). Moreover, dom | − ΔΘ,Ω |1/2 = H 1 (Ω).

(2.25)

(2.26)

In addition, −ΔΘ,Ω , has purely discrete spectrum bounded from below, in particular, σess (−ΔΘ,Ω ) = ∅. (2.27) The important special case where Θ corresponds to the operator of multiplication by a real-valued, essentially bounded function θ leads to Robin boundary conditions we discuss next:

Corollary 2.6. In addition to Hypothesis 2.1, assume that Θ is the operator of multiplication in L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) by the real-valued function θ satisfying the condition θ ∈ L∞ (∂Ω; dn−1 ω). Then Θ satisﬁes the conditions in Hypothesis 2.2 resulting in the self-adjoint and bounded from below Laplacian −Δθ,Ω in L2 (Ω; dn x) with Robin boundary conditions on ∂Ω in (2.25) given by (1 γN + θγD )u = 0 in H −1/2 (∂Ω).

(2.28)

Remark 2.7. (i) In the case of a smooth boundary ∂Ω, the boundary conditions in (2.28) are also called “classical” boundary conditions (cf., e.g., [73]); in the more general case of bounded Lipschitz domains we also refer to [5] and [80, Ch. 4] in this context. Next, we point out that, in [51], the authors have dealt with the case of Laplace operators in bounded Lipschitz domains, equipped with local boundary conditions of Robin-type, with boundary data in Lp (∂Ω; dn−1 ω), and produced nontangential maximal function estimates. For the case p = 2, when our setting agrees with that of [51], some of our results in this section and the following are a reﬁnement of those in [51]. Maximal Lp -regularity and analytic contraction semigroups of Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacians on bounded Lipschitz domains were studied in [83]. Holomorphic C0 -semigroups of the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions on bounded Lipschitz domains have been discussed in [81]. Moreover, Robin boundary conditions for elliptic boundary value problems on arbitrary open domains were ﬁrst studied by Maz’ya [56], [57, Sect. 4.11.6], and subsequently in [22] (see also [23] which treats the case of the Laplacian). In addition, Robin-type boundary conditions involving measures on the boundary for very general domains Ω were intensively discussed in terms of quadratic forms and capacity methods in the literature, and we refer, for instance, to [5], [6], [15], [80], and the references therein. 1 = 0), that is, in the case of the Neumann (ii) In the special case θ = 0 (resp., Θ Laplacian, we will also use the notation −ΔN,Ω = −Δ0,Ω .

(2.29)

The case of the Dirichlet Laplacian −ΔD,Ω associated with Ω formally corresponds to Θ = ∞ and so we recall its treatment in the next result. To state it, recall that, given a bounded Lipschitz domain Ω ⊂ Rn , H01 (Ω) = {u ∈ H 1 (Ω) | γD u = 0 on ∂Ω}.

(2.30)

Theorem 2.8. Assume Hypothesis 2.1. Then the Dirichlet Laplacian, −ΔD,Ω , deﬁned by − ΔD,Ω = −Δ,

, dom(−ΔD,Ω ) = u ∈ H 1 (Ω) Δu ∈ L2 (Ω; dn x); γD u = 0 in H 1/2 (∂Ω) , = u ∈ H01 (Ω) Δu ∈ L2 (Ω; dn x) , (2.31) is self-adjoint and strictly positive in L2 (Ω; dn x). Moreover, dom (−ΔD,Ω )1/2 = H01 (Ω).

(2.32)

Since Ω is open and bounded, it is well known that −ΔD,Ω has purely discrete spectrum contained in (0, ∞), in particular, σess (−ΔD,Ω ) = ∅.

3. Generalized Robin and Dirichlet boundary value problems and Robin-to-Dirichlet and Dirichlet-to-Robin maps This section is devoted to generalized Robin and Dirichlet boundary value problems associated with the Helmholtz diﬀerential expression −Δ − z in connection with the open set Ω. In addition, we provide a detailed discussion of Robin-to(0) Dirichlet maps, MΘ,D,Ω , in L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω). Again, the material in this section is taken from [35, Sect. 3]. In this section we strengthen Hypothesis 2.2 by adding assumption (3.1) below: Hypothesis 3.1. In addition to Hypothesis 2.2 suppose that 1 ∈ B∞ H 1 (∂Ω), L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) . Θ

(3.1)

We note that (3.1) is satisﬁed whenever there exists some ε > 0 such that 1 ∈ B H 1−ε (∂Ω), L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) . Θ

(3.2)

We recall the deﬁnition of the weak Neumann trace operator γ 1N in (2.14), (2.15) and start with the Helmholtz Robin boundary value problems: Theorem 3.2. Assume Hypothesis 3.1 and suppose that z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ). Then for every g ∈ L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω), the following generalized Robin boundary value problem, + (−Δ − z)u = 0 in Ω, u ∈ H 3/2 (Ω), (3.3) 1 D u = g on ∂Ω, γN + Θγ 1 has a unique solution u = uΘ . This solution uΘ satisﬁes γD uΘ ∈ H 1 (∂Ω),

γ 1N uΘ ∈ L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω),

γN uΘ L2 (∂Ω;dn−1 ω) , ≤ C g L2 (∂Ω;dn−1 ω) γD uΘ H 1 (∂Ω) + 1

(3.4)

and uΘ H 3/2 (Ω) ≤ C g L2 (∂Ω;dn−1 ω) ,

(3.5)

for some constant constant C = C(Θ, Ω, z) > 0. Finally, ∗ γD (−ΔΘ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∈ B L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω), H 3/2 (Ω) ,

(3.6)

and the solution uΘ is given by the formula ∗ uΘ = γD (−ΔΘ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 g.

(3.7)

Next, we turn to the Dirichlet case originally treated in [36, Theorem 3.1] but under stronger regularity conditions on Ω.

Theorem 3.3. Assume Hypothesis 2.1 and suppose that z ∈ C\σ(−ΔD,Ω ). Then for every f ∈ H 1 (∂Ω), the following Dirichlet boundary value problem, + (−Δ − z)u = 0 in Ω, u ∈ H 3/2 (Ω), (3.8) γD u = f on ∂Ω, has a unique solution u = uD . This solution uD satisﬁes γ 1N uD ∈ L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω)

and

1 γN uD L2 (∂Ω;dn−1 ω) ≤ CD f H 1 (∂Ω) ,

(3.9)

for some constant CD = CD (Ω, z) > 0. Moreover,

Finally,

uD H 3/2 (Ω) ≤ CD f H 1 (∂Ω) .

(3.10)

∗ γ 1N (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∈ B H 1 (∂Ω), H 3/2 (Ω) ,

(3.11)

and the solution uD is given by the formula ∗ 1N (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 f. uD = − γ

(3.12)

In addition to Theorem 3.3, we recall the following result. Lemma 3.4. Assume Hypothesis 2.1 and suppose that z ∈ C\σ(−ΔD,Ω ). Then γ 1N (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∈ B L2 (Ω; dn x), L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) , (3.13) and

∗ γ 1N (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∈ B L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω), L2 (Ω; dn x) .

(3.14)

Assuming Hypothesis 3.1, we next introduce the Dirichlet-to-Robin map (0) MD,Θ,Ω (z) associated with (−Δ − z) on Ω, as follows, + H 1 (∂Ω) → L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω), (0) z ∈ C\σ(−ΔD,Ω ), (3.15) MD,Θ,Ω (z) : 1 D uD , f → − γ 1N + Θγ where uD is the unique solution of (−Δ − z)u = 0 in Ω,

u ∈ H 3/2 (Ω),

γD u = f on ∂Ω.

(3.16)

Continuing to assume Hypothesis 3.1, we introduce the Robin-to-Dirichlet (0) map MΘ,D,Ω (z) associated with (−Δ − z) on Ω, as follows, + L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) → H 1 (∂Ω), (0) z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ), (3.17) MΘ,D,Ω (z) : g → γD uΘ , where uΘ is the unique solution of (−Δ − z)u = 0 in Ω,

u ∈ H 3/2 (Ω),

1 D u = g on ∂Ω. γN + Θγ 1

We note that Robin-to-Dirichlet maps have also been studied in [9].

F. Gesztesy and M. Mitrea Next we recall one of the main results in [35]:

Theorem 3.5. Assume Hypothesis 3.1. Then (0) MD,Θ,Ω (z) ∈ B H 1 (∂Ω), L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) ,

z ∈ C\σ(−ΔD,Ω ),

(3.19)

and

(0) 1 D γ 1 D (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∗ , MD,Θ,Ω (z) = γ 1N + Θγ 1N + Θγ

z ∈ C\σ(−ΔD,Ω ). (3.20)

Moreover, (0) MΘ,D,Ω (z) ∈ B L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω), H 1 (∂Ω) ,

z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ),

(3.21)

(0) MΘ,D,Ω (z) ∈ B∞ L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) ,

z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ).

∗ (0) MΘ,D,Ω (z) = γD γD (−ΔΘ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ,

z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ).

(3.23)

and, in fact,

In addition,

Finally, let z ∈ C\(σ(−ΔD,Ω ) ∪ σ(−ΔΘ,Ω )). Then MΘ,D,Ω (z) = −MD,Θ,Ω (z)−1 . (0)

and MD,N,Ω (z), respectively. That is, MN,D,Ω (z) = M0,D,Ω (z) and MD,N,Ω (z) = (0) MD,0,Ω (z).

Thus, as a corollary of Theorem 3.5 we have MN,D,Ω (z) = −MD,N,Ω (z)−1 , (0)

(3.25)

whenever Hypothesis 2.1 holds and z ∈ C\(σ(−ΔD,Ω ) ∪ σ(−ΔN,Ω )). Remark 3.7. We emphasize again that all results in this section immediately = dom − = −Δ + V , dom H extend to Schr¨ o dinger operators H Θ,Ω Θ,Ω Θ,Ω ΔΘ,Ω in L2 (Ω; dn x) for (not necessarily real-valued) potentials V satisfying V ∈ L∞ (Ω; dn x), or more generally, for potentials V which are Kato–Rellich bounded with respect to −ΔΘ,Ω with bound less than one. Denoting the corresponding M operators by MD,N,Ω (z) and MΘ,D,Ω (z), respectively, we note, in particular, that (3.15)–(3.24) extend replacing −Δ by −Δ+ V and restricting z ∈ C appropriately. Our discussion of Weyl–Titchmarsh operators follows the earlier papers [32] and [36]. For related literature on Weyl–Titchmarsh operators, relevant in the context of boundary value spaces (boundary triples, etc.), we refer, for instance, to [2], [4], [11], [12], [16]–[20], [25]– [28], [31], [34], [37, Ch. 3], [39, Ch. 13], [54], [55], [59], [64], [65], [68]–[71], [79].

4. Some variants of Krein’s resolvent formula involving Robin-to-Dirichlet maps In this section we recall some of the principal new results in [35], viz., variants of Krein’s formula for the diﬀerence of resolvents of generalized Robin Laplacians and Dirichlet Laplacians on bounded Lipschitz domains. For details on the material in this section we refer to [35]. We start by weakening Hypothesis 3.1 by using assumption (4.1) below: Hypothesis 4.1. In addition to Hypothesis 2.2 suppose that 1 ∈ B∞ H 1/2 (∂Ω), H −1/2 (∂Ω) . Θ

(4.1)

We note that condition (4.1) is satisﬁed if there exists some ε > 0 such that 1 ∈ B H 1/2−ε (∂Ω), H −1/2 (∂Ω) . (4.2) Θ We wish to point out that Hypothesis 3.1 is indeed stronger than Hypothesis 4.1 since (3.1) implies, via duality and interpolation (cf. the discussion in [35]), that 1 ∈ B∞ H s (∂Ω), H s−1 (∂Ω) , 0 ≤ s ≤ 1. Θ (4.3) In our next two results below (Theorems 4.2–4.4) we discuss the solvability of the Dirichlet and Robin boundary value problems with solution in the energy space H 1 (Ω). Theorem 4.2. Assume Hypothesis 4.1 and suppose that z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ). Then for every g ∈ H −1/2 (∂Ω), the following generalized Robin boundary value problem, + (−Δ − z)u = 0 in Ω, u ∈ H 1 (Ω), (4.4) 1 D u = g on ∂Ω, γ 1N + Θγ has a unique solution u = uΘ . Moreover, there exists a constant C = C(Θ, Ω, z) > 0 such that uΘ H 1 (Ω) ≤ C g H −1/2 (∂Ω) . (4.5) In particular, ∗ γD (−ΔΘ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∈ B H −1/2 (∂Ω), H 1 (Ω) , (4.6) and the solution uΘ of (4.4) is once again given by formula (3.7). Remark 4.3. As a byproduct of Theorem 4.2 (with Θ = 0) we obtain that the weak Neumann trace γ 1N in (2.14), (2.15) is onto. 1 In the following 1 ∗we denote by IΩ the continuous inclusion (embedding) map of H (Ω) into H (Ω) . By a slight abuse of notation, we also denote the continuous ∗ inclusion map of H01 (Ω) into H01 (Ω) by the same symbol I1Ω . We recall the ultra weak Neumann trace operator γ 1N from (2.20), (2.21). Finally, assuming Hypothesis 4.1, we denote by 1 Θ,Ω ∈ B H 1 (Ω), H 1 (Ω) ∗ −Δ (4.7) 1

u, v ∈ H 1 (Ω), 1 Θ,Ω to L2 (Ω; dn x) (cf. (B.27)). and −ΔΘ,Ω is the restriction of −Δ Theorem 4.4. Assume Hypothesis 4.1 and let z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ). Then for every w ∈ (H 1 (Ω))∗ , the following generalized inhomogeneous Robin problem, + (−Δ − z)u = w|Ω in D (Ω), u ∈ H 1 (Ω), (4.9) 1 D u = 0 on ∂Ω, γN (u, w) + Θγ 1 has a unique solution u = uΘ,w . Moreover, there is a constant C = C(Θ, Ω, z) > 0 such that uΘ,w H 1 (Ω) ≤ C w (H 1 (∂Ω))∗ . (4.10) In particular, the operator (−ΔΘ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 , z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ), originally deﬁned as a bounded operator on L2 (Ω; dn x), (4.11) (−ΔΘ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∈ B L2 (Ω; dn x) , ∗ 1 1 can be extended to a mapping in B H (Ω) , H (Ω) , which in fact coincides with 1 Θ,Ω − z I1Ω −1 ∈ B H 1 (Ω) ∗ , H 1 (Ω) . (4.12) −Δ Remark 4.5. In the context of Theorem 4.4, it is useful to observe that for any ∗ 1 Θ,Ω − z I1Ω −1 w ∈ H 1 (Ω) satisﬁes w ∈ H 1 (Ω) , the function u = − Δ (−Δ − z)u = w|Ω in D (Ω),

where the restriction of w to Ω is interpreted by regarding w as a distribution in H −1 (cf. associates ∗ (2.17)). Indeed, the identiﬁcation (2.17) 1to na functional ∗ (Ω) 1 −1 n 2 = w ◦ RΩ ∈ H (R ) = H (R ) (which w ∈ H (Ω) the distribution w happens to be supported in Ω). Consequently, if for an arbitrary test function ϕ ∈ C0∞ (Ω) we denote by ϕ 1 ∈ C0∞ (Rn ) the extension of ϕ by zero outside Ω, we then have 2 Ω D (Ω) D(Ω) ϕ, w|

on account of (4.8). This justiﬁes (4.13).

Remark 4.6. Similar (yet simpler) considerations also show that the operator (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 , z ∈ C\σ(−ΔD,Ω ), originally deﬁned as bounded operator on L2 (Ω; dn x), (4.15) (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∈ B L2 (Ω; dn x) , extends to a mapping 1 D,Ω − z I1Ω −1 ∈ B H −1 (Ω); H 1 (Ω) . −Δ (4.16) 0 1 1 D,Ω ∈ B H (Ω), H −1 (Ω) is the extension of −ΔD,Ω in accordance with Here −Δ 0 (B.26). Indeed, the Lax–Milgram lemma applies and yields that 1 D,Ω − z I1Ω : H 1 (Ω) → H 1 (Ω) ∗ = H −1 (Ω) −Δ (4.17) 0 0 is, in fact, an isomorphism whenever z ∈ C\σ(−ΔD,Ω ). Corollary 4.7. Assume Hypothesis 4.1 and let z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ). Then the oper (0) ator MΘ,D,Ω (z) ∈ B L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) in (3.17), (3.18) extends (in a compatible manner ) to 9(0) (z) ∈ B H −1/2 (∂Ω), H 1/2 (∂Ω) , z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ).

Lemma 4.8. Assume Hypothesis 4.1 and let z ∈ C\(σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ) ∪ σ(−ΔD,Ω )). Then ∗ the following resolvent relation holds on H 1 (Ω) , 1 Θ,Ω − z I1Ω −1 = − Δ 1 D,Ω − z I1Ω −1 ◦ RΩ −Δ (4.20) 1 D,Ω − z I1Ω −1 ◦ RΩ , IRn . 1 Θ,Ω − z I1Ω −1 γ ∗ γ + −Δ 1N − Δ D

We also recall the following regularity result for the Robin resolvent. Lemma 4.9. Assume Hypothesis 3.1 and suppose that z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ). Then , (4.21) (−ΔΘ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 : L2 (Ω; dn x) → u ∈ H 3/2 (Ω) Δu ∈ L2 (Ω; dn x) , is a well-deﬁned bounded operator.

F. Gesztesy and M. Mitrea Next we complement this with the following result.

Corollary 4.10. Assume Hypothesis 3.1 and suppose that z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ). Then γD (−ΔΘ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∈ B L2 (Ω; dn x), H 1 (∂Ω) . (4.24) In particular, ∗ γD (−ΔΘ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∈ B H −1 (∂Ω), L2 (Ω; dn x) → B L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 Ω), L2 (Ω; dn x) . In addition, the operator (4.25) is compatible with (4.23) in the sense that ∗ 1 Θ,Ω − z I1Ω −1 ∗ f in L2 (Ω; dn x), γD (−ΔΘ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 f = γD − Δ f ∈ H −1/2 (∂Ω). As a consequence, ∗ 1 Θ,Ω − z I1Ω −1 ∗ f in L2 (Ω; dn x), γD (−ΔΘ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 f = γD − Δ f ∈ L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω).

(4.26)

(4.27)

We will need a similar compatibility result for the composition between the Neumann trace and resolvents of the Dirichlet Laplacian. To state it, we recall the restriction operator RΩ in (2.18). Also, we denote by IRn the identity operator (for spaces of functions deﬁned in Rn ). Finally, we recall the space (2.19) and the ultra weak Neumann trace operator γ 1N in (2.20), (2.21). Lemma 4.11.

is a well-deﬁned, linear and bounded operator. Consequently, 1 D,Ω − z I1Ω −1 ◦ RΩ , IRn ∈ B (H 1 (Ω))∗ , H −1/2 (∂Ω) , γ 1N − Δ z ∈ C\σ(−ΔD,Ω ), and, hence, 1 D,Ω − z I1Ω −1 ◦ RΩ , IRn ∗ ∈ B H 1/2 (∂Ω), H 1 (Ω) , γN − Δ 1 z ∈ C\σ(−ΔD,Ω ).

Furthermore, the operators (4.29), (4.30) are compatible with (3.13) and (3.14), respectively, in the sense that for each z ∈ C\σ(−ΔD,Ω ), 1 D,Ω − z I1Ω −1 ◦ RΩ , IRn f in H −1/2 (∂Ω), γ 1N (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 f = 1 γN − Δ f ∈ L2 (Ω; dn x), and

This yields the following L2 -version of Lemma 4.8. Lemma 4.12. Assume Hypothesis 3.1 and let z ∈ C\(σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ) ∪ σ(−ΔD,Ω )). Then the following resolvent relation holds on L2 (Ω; dn x), (−ΔΘ,Ω − zIΩ )−1

We note that the special case Θ = 0 in Lemma 4.12 was discussed by Nakamura [61] (in connection with cubic boxes Ω) and subsequently in [32, Lemma A.3] (in the case of a Lipschitz domain with a compact boundary). We also recall the following useful result. Lemma 4.13. Assume Hypothesis 4.1 and suppose that z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ). Then (0) ∗ 9 9(0) (z) M =M (4.34) Θ,D,Ω (z) Θ,D,Ω −1/2 (∂Ω); H 1/2 (∂Ω) . In particular, assuming Hypothesis 3.1, as operators in B H then (0) ∗ (0) MΘ,D,Ω (z) = MΘ,D,Ω (z). (4.35) Next we brieﬂy recall the Herglotz property of the Robin-to-Dirichlet map. We recall that an operator-valued function M (z) ∈ B(H), z ∈ C+ (where C+ = {z ∈ C | Im(z) > 0), for some separable complex Hilbert space H, is called an operator-valued Herglotz function if M ( · ) is analytic on C+ and Im(M (z)) 0,

z ∈ C+ .

Here, as usual, Im(M ) = (M − M ∗ )/(2i). Lemma 4.14. Assume Hypothesis 4.1 and suppose that z ∈ C+ .

Theorem 4.15. Assume Hypothesis 4.1 and suppose that z ∈ C\(σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ) ∪ ∗ σ(−ΔD,Ω )).

The following result details the L2 (Ω; dn x)-variant of Krein’s formula: Theorem 4.16. Assume Hypothesis 3.1 and suppose that z ∈ C\(σ(−ΔΘ,Ω ) ∪ σ(−ΔD,Ω )). Then the following Krein formula holds on L2 (Ω; dn x): (−ΔΘ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 = (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∗ (0) + γ 1N (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 MΘ,D,Ω (z) γ 1N (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 .

(4.41)

It should be noted that, by Lemma 3.4, the composition of operators in the right-hand side of (4.41) acts in a well-deﬁned manner on L2 (Ω; dn x). An attractive feature of the Krein-type formula (4.41) lies in the fact that (0) MΘ,D,Ω (z) encodes spectral information about ΔΘ,Ω . This will be pursued in future work. Assuming Hypothesis 2.1, the special case Θ = 0 then connects the Neumann and Dirichlet resolvents, 1 N,Ω − z I1Ω −1 = − Δ 1 D,Ω − z I1Ω −1 ◦ RΩ −Δ 1 D,Ω − z I1Ω −1 ◦ RΩ , IRn ∗ M 9(0) (z) + 1 γN − Δ (4.42) N,D,Ω −1 1 D,Ω − z I1Ω × 1 γN − Δ ◦ RΩ , IRn , z ∈ C\(σ(−ΔN,Ω ) ∪ σ(−ΔD,Ω )), 1 ∗ on H (Ω) , and similarly, (−ΔN,Ω − zIΩ )−1 = (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∗ (0) + γ 1N (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 MN,D,Ω (z) γ 1N (−ΔD,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ,

and MN,D,Ω (z) denote the associated Neumannon L2 (Ω; dn x). Here to-Dirichlet operators. Due to the fundamental importance of Krein-type resolvent formulas (and more generally, Robin-to-Dirichlet maps) in connection with the spectral and inverse spectral theory of ordinary and partial diﬀerential operators, abstract versions, connected to boundary value spaces (boundary triples) and self-adjoint extensions of closed symmetric operators with equal (possibly inﬁnite) deﬁciency spaces, have received enormous attention in the literature. In particular, we note that Robin-to-Dirichlet maps in the context of ordinary diﬀerential operators reduce to the celebrated (possibly, matrix-valued) Weyl–Titchmarsh function, the basic object of spectral analysis in this context. Since it is impossible to cover

the literature in this paper, we refer, for instance, to [1, Sect. 84], [3], [7], [8], [11], [13], [14], [18], [20], [21], [33], [34], [39, Ch. 13], [41], [43]–[50], [53], [54], [59], [62]–[69], [72], [75]–[77], and the references cited therein. We add, however, that the case of inﬁnite deﬁciency indices in the context of partial diﬀerential operators (in our concrete case, related to the deﬁciency indices of the operator closure of −Δ C0∞ (Ω) in L2 (Ω; dn x)), is much less studied and the results obtained in this section, especially, under the assumption of Lipschitz (i.e., minimally smooth) domains, to the best of our knowledge, are new. Finally, we emphasize once more that Remark 3.7 also applies to the content of this section (assuming that V is real-valued in connection with Lemmas 4.13 and 4.14).

5. Some variants of Krein’s resolvent formula involving Robin-to-Robin maps In this section we present our principal results, variants of Krein’s formula for the diﬀerence of resolvents of generalized Robin Laplacians corresponding to two diﬀerent Robin boundary conditions on bounded Lipschitz domains. To the best of our knowledge, the results in this section are new. Hypothesis 5.1. Assume that the conditions in Hypothesis 2.2 are satisﬁed by two sesquilinear forms aΘ1 , aΘ2 and, in addition, 1 2 ∈ B∞ H 1/2 (∂Ω), H −1/2 (∂Ω) . 1 1, Θ (5.1) Θ Lemma 5.2.

To set the stage, we recall (2.14) and (2.15). Together with (4.12) and (4.16), these ensure that the composition of operators appearing on the righthand side of (4.20) is well deﬁned. Next, let φ1 , φ2 ∈ L2 (Ω; dn x) be arbitrary and deﬁne ψ1 = (−ΔΘ1 ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 φ1 ∈ dom(ΔΘ1 ,Ω ) ⊂ H 1 (Ω), (5.3) ψ2 = (−ΔΘ2 ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 φ2 ∈ dom(ΔΘ2 ,Ω ) ⊂ H 1 (Ω). As a consequence of our earlier results, both sides of (4.20) are bounded operators ∗ from (H 1 (Ω))∗ into H 1 (Ω). Since L2 (Ω; dn x) → H 1 (Ω) densely, it therefore suﬃces to show that the following identity holds: (φ1 , (−ΔΘ1 ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 φ2 )L2 (Ω;dn x) − (φ1 , (−ΔΘ2 ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 φ2 )L2 (Ω;dn x) (5.4) ∗ 1 1 2 γD (−ΔΘ2 ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 φ2 2 Θ1 − Θ . = φ1 , (−ΔΘ1 ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 γD L (Ω;dn x)

We are interested in proving an L2 -version of Krein’s formula in Theorem 5.4. This requires the following strengthening of Hypothesis 5.1. Hypothesis 5.5. Assume that the conditions in Hypothesis 2.2 are satisﬁed by two sesquilinear forms aΘ1 , aΘ2 and suppose in addition that, 1 1, Θ 1 2 ∈ B∞ H 1 (∂Ω), L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) . Θ (5.34) We recall (cf.

We note that for each z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ1 ,Ω ) the mapping M Θ1 ,Θ2 ,Ω (z) ∈ −1/2 (0) 2 (∂Ω) extends to an operator MΘ1 ,Θ2 ,Ω (z) ∈ B L (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) is a B H consequence of Theorem 3.2 and (5.34). This justiﬁes the claim about (5.35). Properties (5.36)–(5.39) then follow from (5.35), Theorem 5.3, and a density argument. With these preparatory results in place we are ready to state and prove the following L2 -version of Krein’s formula. Theorem 5.7. Assume Hypothesis 5.5 and suppose that z ∈ C\(σ(−ΔΘ1 ,Ω ) ∪ σ(−ΔΘ2 ,Ω )). Then the following Krein formula holds on L2 (Ω; dn x): (−ΔΘ1 ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 = (−ΔΘ2 ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∗ (0) 11 − Θ 12 MΘ1 ,Θ2 ,Ω (z) + I∂Ω Θ + γD (−ΔΘ2 ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 × γD (−ΔΘ2 ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 .

(5.40)

Proof. We start by observing that the following operators are well deﬁned, linear and bounded: (−ΔΘj ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∈ B L2 (Ω; dn x) , j = 1, 2, (5.41) 2 −1 n 1 γD (−ΔΘ2 ,Ω − zIΩ ) ∈ B L (Ω; d x), H (∂Ω) , (5.42) 1 1 2 ∈ B H (∂Ω), L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) , 11 − Θ (5.43) Θ 2 (0) n−1 ω) , (5.44) MΘ1 ,Θ2 ,Ω (z) + I∂Ω ∈ B L (∂Ω; d ∗ (5.45) γD (−ΔΘ2 ,Ω − zIΩ )−1 ∈ B L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω), L2 (Ω; dn x)) . Indeed, (5.41) follows from the fact that z ∈ C\ σ(−ΔΘ1 ,Ω ) ∪ σ(−ΔΘ2 ,Ω ) , (5.42) is covered by (4.24), (5.43) is taken care of by (5.34), (5.44) follows from (5.35), and (5.45) is a consequence of (4.25). Altogether, this shows that both sides of (5.40) are bounded operators on L2 (Ω; dn x). With this in hand, the desired conclusion follows from Theorem 5.4, (4.27) and the fact that the operators (4.11) and (4.12) are compatible.

Consequently, if Hypothesis 5.5 is assumed and z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ1 ,Ω ), then (0) 11 − Θ 11 −Θ 1 2 and M (0) (z) + IΩ Θ 1 2 also have the Herglotz propMΘ1 ,Θ2 (z) Θ Θ1 ,Θ2 erty when considered as operators in B L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) . Proof. By Theorem 5.6 it suﬃces to prove only the ﬁrst part in the statement. To this end, we recall (5.13) in Theorem 5.3. Composing the latter on the right by 11 − Θ 1 2 ) then yields (Θ (0) 11 − Θ 9 11 − Θ 1 2 = −(Θ 1 2) + Θ 11 − Θ 12 M 1 1 9(0) (z) Θ M Θ1 ,Θ2 Θ1 ,D (z) Θ1 − Θ2 , (5.46) z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ1 ,Ω ).

(5.47)

z ∈ C\σ(−ΔΘ1 ,Ω ). Now one can use Lemma 4.14 in order to conclude that (0) 9 11 − Θ 1 2 ≥ 0, Im M (z) Θ Θ1 ,Θ2

as desired.

We note again that Remark 3.7 also applies to the content of this section (assuming that V is real-valued in connection with (5.38) and Theorem 5.8).

Appendix A. Properties of Sobolev spaces and boundary traces for Lipschitz domains The purpose of this appendix is to recall some basic facts in connection with Sobolev spaces corresponding to Lipschitz domains Ω ⊂ Rn , n ∈ N, n ≥ 2, and their boundaries. For more details we refer again to [35]. In this manuscript we use the following notation for the standard Sobolev Hilbert spaces (s ∈ R), : 2 2 (ξ)2 1 + |ξ|2s < ∞ , (A.1) H s (Rn ) = U ∈ S (Rn ) U H s (Rn ) = dn ξ U n R

Here D (Ω) denotes the usual set of distributions on Ω ⊆ Rn , Ω open and nonempty (with D(Ω) standing for the space of test functions in Ω), S (Rn ) is the space of 2 denotes the Fourier transform of U ∈ S (Rn ). tempered distributions on Rn , and U It is then immediate that H s1 (Ω) → H s0 (Ω) for − ∞ < s0 ≤ s1 < +∞,

(A.4)

continuously and densely. Next, we recall the deﬁnition of a Lipschitz-domain Ω ⊆ Rn , Ω open and nonempty, for convenience of the reader: Let N be a space of real-valued functions in Rn−1 . One calls a bounded domain Ω ⊂ Rn of class N if there exists a ﬁnite open covering {Oj }1≤j≤N of the boundary ∂Ω of Ω with the property that, for every j ∈ {1, . . . , N }, Oj ∩ Ω coincides with the portion of Oj lying in the over-graph of a function ϕj ∈ N (considered in a new system of coordinates obtained from the original one via a rigid motion). If N is Lip (Rn−1 ), the space of real-valued functions satisfying a (global) Lipschitz condition in Rn−1 , is called a Lipschitz domain; cf. [74, p. 189], where such domains are called “minimally smooth”. The classical theorem of Rademacher of almost everywhere diﬀerentiability of Lipschitz functions ensures that, for any Lipschitz domain Ω, the surface measure dn−1 ω is well deﬁned on ∂Ω and that there exists an outward pointing normal vector ν at almost every point of ∂Ω. For a Lipschitz domain Ω ⊂ Rn it is known that ∗ s (A.5) H (Ω) = H −s (Ω), −1/2 < s < 1/2. See [78] for this and other related properties. We also refer to our convention of using the adjoint (rather than the dual) space X ∗ of a Banach space X as described near the end of the introduction. Next, assume that Ω ⊂ Rn is the domain lying above the graph of a Lipschitz function ϕ : Rn−1 → R. Then for 0 ≤ s 1, the Sobolev space H s (∂Ω) consists of functions f ∈ L2 (∂Ω; dn−1 ω) such that f (x , ϕ(x )), as a function of x ∈ Rn−1 , belongs to H s (Rn−1 ). In this scenario we set ∗ (A.6) H s (∂Ω) = H −s (∂Ω) , −1 s 0. To deﬁne H s (∂Ω), 0 ≤ s 1, when Ω is a Lipschitz domain with compact boundary, we use a smooth partition of unity to reduce matters to the graph case. More precisely, if 0 ≤ s ≤ 1 then f ∈ H s (∂Ω) if and only if the assignment Rn−1 x → (ψf )(x , ϕ(x )) is in H s (Rn−1 ) whenever ψ ∈ C0∞ (Rn ) and ϕ : Rn−1 → R is a Lipschitz function with the property that if Σ is an appropriate rotation and translation of {(x , ϕ(x )) ∈ Rn | x ∈ Rn−1 }, then (supp (ψ)∩∂Ω) ⊂ Σ (this appears to be folklore, but a proof will appear in [60, Proposition 2.4]). Then Sobolev spaces with a negative amount of smoothness are deﬁned as in (A.6) above. From the above characterization of H s (∂Ω) it follows that any property of Sobolev spaces (of order s ∈ [−1, 1]) deﬁned in Euclidean domains, which are invariant under multiplication by smooth, compactly supported functions as well as composition by bi-Lipschitz diﬀeomorphisms, readily extends to the setting of

H s (∂Ω) (via localization and pull-back). As a concrete example, for each Lipschitz domain Ω with compact boundary, one has H s (∂Ω) → H s−ε (∂Ω) compactly if 0 < ε ≤ s ≤ 1.

(A.7)

For additional background information in this context we refer, for instance, to [9], [10], [29, Chs. V, VI], [38, Ch. 1], [58, Ch. 3], [82, Sect. I.4.2]. Moving on, we next consider the following bounded linear map ⎧, 1 ∗ 2 n n −1/2 ⎪ ⎨ (w, f ) ∈ L (Ω; d x) × H (Ω) div(w) = f |Ω → H (∂Ω) ∗ = H 1/2 (∂Ω) ⎪ ⎩ w → ν · (w, f ) (A.8) by setting dn x ∇Φ(x)·w(x)+ H 1 (Ω) Φ, f (H 1 (Ω))∗ (A.9) H 1/2 (∂Ω) φ, ν ·(w, f )(H 1/2 (∂Ω)∗ = Ω

whenever φ ∈ H (∂Ω) and Φ ∈ H 1 (Ω) is such that γD Φ = φ. Here the pairing ∗ 1 1 ∗ Φ, f in (A.9) is the natural pairing between functionals in H 1 (Ω) H (Ω) (H (Ω)) and elements in H 1 (Ω) (which, in turn, is compatible with the (bilinear) distributional pairing). It should be remarked that the above deﬁnition is independent of the particular extension Φ ∈ H 1 (Ω) of φ. Going further, one can introduce the ultra weak Neumann trace operator γ 1N as follows: +, ∗ (u, f ) ∈ H 1 (Ω) × H 1 (Ω) Δu = f |Ω → H −1/2 (∂Ω) γN : 1 u → γ 1N (u, f ) = ν · (∇u, f ), (A.10) with the dot product understood in the sense of (A.8). We emphasize that the ultra weak Neumann trace operator 1 γN in (A.10) is a re-normalization of the operator γN introduced in (2.12) relative to the extension of Δu ∈ H −1 (Ω) to an element ∗ 1 f of the space H (Ω) = {g ∈ H −1 (Rn ) | supp (g) ⊆ Ω}. For the relationship between the weak and ultra weak Neumann trace operators, see (2.22)–(2.24). In addition, one can show that the ultra weak Neumann trace operator (A.10) is onto (indeed, this is a corollary of Theorem 4.4). We note that (A.9) and (A.10) yield the following Green’s formula 1/2

γD Φ, 1 γN (u, f )1/2 = (∇Φ, ∇u)L2 (Ω;dn x)n + H 1 (Ω) Φ, f (H 1 (Ω))∗ , (A.11) ∗ valid for any u ∈ H 1 (Ω), f ∈ H 1 (Ω) with Δu = f |Ω , and any Φ ∈ H 1 (Ω). The ∗ pairing on the left-hand side of (A.11) is between functionals in H 1/2 (∂Ω) and elements in H 1/2 (∂Ω), whereas last pairing on the right-hand side in (A.11) is the ∗ between functionals in H 1 (Ω) and elements in H 1 (Ω). For further use, we also note that the adjoint of (2.7) maps boundedly as follows ∗ ∗ ∗ γD : H s−1/2 (∂Ω) → (H s (Ω) , 1/2 < s < 3/2. (A.12)

106

F. Gesztesy and M. Mitrea

∗ Identifying H s (Ω) with H0−s (Ω) → H −s (Rn ) (cf. Proposition 2.9 in [40]), it follows that ∗ ran(γD ) ⊆ {u ∈ H −s (Rn ) | supp (u) ⊆ ∂Ω},

1/2 < s < 3/2.

(A.13)

Remark A.1. While it is tempting to view γD as an unbounded but densely deﬁned operator on L2 (Ω; dn x) whose domain contains the space C0∞ (Ω), one should note ∗ that in this case its adjoint γD is not densely deﬁned: Indeed (cf. [32, Remark A.4]), ∗ dom(γD ) = {0} and hence γD is not a closable linear operator in L2 (Ω; dn x). We conclude this appendix by recalling the following result from [36]. Lemma A.2 (cf. [36], Lemma A.6). Suppose Ω ⊂ Rn , n ≥ 2, is an open Lipschitz domain with a compact, nonempty boundary ∂Ω. Then the Dirichlet trace operator γD (originally considered as in (2.7)) satisﬁes (2.9).

Appendix B. Sesquilinear forms and associated operators In this appendix we describe a few basic facts on sesquilinear forms and linear operators associated with them. A slightly more expanded version of this material appeared in [35, Appendix B]. Let H be a complex separable Hilbert space with scalar product ( · , · )H (antilinear in the ﬁrst and linear in the second argument), V a reﬂexive Banach space continuously and densely embedded into H. Then also H embeds continuously and densely into V ∗ . (B.1) V → H → V ∗ . ∗ Here the continuous embedding H → V is accomplished via the identiﬁcation H u → ( · , u)H ∈ V ∗ ,

(B.2)

and we recall the convention in this manuscript (cf. the discussion at the end of the introduction) that if X denotes a Banach space, X ∗ denotes the adjoint space of continuous conjugate linear functionals on X, also known as the conjugate dual of X. In particular, if the sesquilinear form V · ,

· V ∗ : V × V ∗ → C

(B.3)

∗

denotes the duality pairing between V and V , then V u, vV ∗

= (u, v)H ,

u ∈ V, v ∈ H → V ∗ ,

(B.4)

∗

that is, the V, V pairing V · , · V ∗ is compatible with the scalar product ( · , · )H in H. Let T ∈ B(V, V ∗ ). Since V is reﬂexive, (V ∗ )∗ = V, one has T : V → V ∗,

T ∗ : V → V∗

(B.5)

and V u, T vV ∗

= V ∗ T ∗ u, v(V ∗ )∗ = V ∗ T ∗ u, vV = V v, T ∗ uV ∗ .

(B.6)

Self-adjointness of T is then deﬁned by T = T ∗ , that is, V u, T vV ∗

= V ∗ T u, vV = V v, T uV ∗ ,

u, v ∈ V,

(B.7)

nonnegativity of T is deﬁned by V u, T uV ∗

≥ 0,

u ∈ V,

(B.8)

and boundedness from below of T by cT ∈ R is deﬁned by V u, T uV ∗

≥ cT u 2H,

u ∈ V.

(B.9)

(By (B.4), this is equivalent to V u, T uV ∗ ≥ cT V u, uV ∗ , u ∈ V.) Next, let the sesquilinear form a( · , · ) : V × V → C (antilinear in the ﬁrst and linear in the second argument) be V-bounded, that is, there exists a ca > 0 such that |a(u, v)| ca u V v V , u, v ∈ V. (B.10) 1 Then A deﬁned by + ∗ 1: V → V , (B.11) A 1 v → Av = a( · , v), satisﬁes

1 ∈ B(V, V ∗ ) and A

(B.12)

Assuming further that a( · , · ) is symmetric, that is, a(u, v) = a(v, u),

u, v ∈ V,

(B.13)

and that a is V-coercive, that is, there exists a constant C0 > 0 such that a(u, u) ≥ C0 u 2V ,

u ∈ V,

(B.14)

respectively, then, 1 : V → V ∗ is bounded, self-adjoint, and boundedly invertible. A

1 in H deﬁned by Moreover, denoting by A the part of A , 1 ∈ H ⊆ H, A = A 1 dom(A) = u ∈ V | Au : dom(A) → H, dom(A)

(B.16)

then A is a (possibly unbounded) self-adjoint operator in H satisfying A ≥ C0 IH , dom A1/2 = V.

(B.17) (B.18)

In particular,

A−1 ∈ B(H). (B.19) The facts (B.1)–(B.19) are a consequence of the Lax–Milgram theorem and the second representation theorem for symmetric sesquilinear forms. Details can be found, for instance, in [24, §VI.3, §VII.1], [29, Ch. IV], and [52]. Next, consider a symmetric form b( · , · ) : V × V → C and assume that b is bounded from below by cb ∈ R, that is, b(u, u) ≥ cb u 2H,

u ∈ V.

(B.20)

108

F. Gesztesy and M. Mitrea

Introducing the scalar product ( · , · )V(b) : V × V → C (and norm · V(b) ) by (u, v)V(b) = b(u, v) + (1 − cb )(u, v)H ,

u, v ∈ V,

(B.21)

turns V into a pre-Hilbert space (V; ( · , · )V(b) ), which we denote by V(b). The form b is called closed if V(b) is actually complete, and hence a Hilbert space. The form b is called closable if it has a closed extension. If b is closed, then |b(u, v) + (1 − cb )(u, v)H | u V(b) v V(b) ,

u, v ∈ V,

(B.22)

and |b(u, u) + (1 − cb ) u 2H | = u 2V(b),

u ∈ V,

(B.23)

show that the form b( · , · ) + (1 − cb )( · , · )H is a symmetric, V-bounded, and Vcoercive sesquilinear form. Hence, by (B.11) and (B.12), there exists a linear map + ∗ 1c : V(b) → V(b) , (B.24) B b 1c v = b( · , v) + (1 − cb )( · , v)H , v → B b with 1c ∈ B(V(b), V(b)∗ ) and B b

u, v ∈ V. (B.25) (B.26)

where I1: V(b) → V(b)∗ denotes the continuous inclusion (embedding) map of V(b) 1 to H, into V(b)∗ , one obtains a self-adjoint operator B in H by restricting B , 1 ∈ H ⊆ H, B = B 1 : dom(B) → H, (B.27) dom(B) = u ∈ V Bu dom(B) satisfying the following properties: B ≥ cb IH , dom |B|1/2 = dom (B − cb IH )1/2 = V, b(u, v) = |B|1/2 u, UB |B|1/2 v H = (B − cb IH )1/2 u, (B − cb IH )1/2 v H + cb (u, v)H 7 8 1 , u, v ∈ V, = V(b) u, Bv V(b)∗ b(u, v) = (u, Bv)H ,

u ∈ V, v ∈ dom(B),

dom(B) = {v ∈ V | there exists an fv ∈ H such that b(w, v) = (w, fv )H for all w ∈ V}, Bu = fu ,

(B.34)

u ∈ dom(B),

dom(B) is dense in H and in V(b).

(B.35)

Properties (B.34) and (B.35) uniquely determine B. Here UB in (B.31) is the partial isometry in the polar decomposition of B, that is, B = UB |B|,

|B| = (B ∗ B)1/2 .

The operator B is called the operator associated with the form b. The facts in (B.20)–(B.35) comprise the second representation theorem of sesquilinear forms (cf. [29, Sect. IV.2], [30, Sects. 1.2–1.5], and [42, Sect. VI.2.6]). Acknowledgments.

On Behavior of Weak Solutions of Operator Diﬀerential Equations on (0, ∞) M.L. Gorbachuk and V.I. Gorbachuk To the memory of M.G. Krein

Abstract. The aim of this work is to describe the weak solutions of a ﬁrstorder diﬀerential equation on the interval (0, ∞) in a Banach space and their behavior when approaching to the ends of this interval. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 34G10; Secondary 47D06. Keywords. Closed operator, spectrum and resolvent, C0 -semigroup, diﬀerential equation in a Banach space, classical solution, weak solution, analytic vector, entire vector, asymptotical stability, exponential stability.

1. Introduction In this paper we present a survey of the results concerning the structure of weak solutions of a diﬀerential equation of the form y (t) = Ay(t),

t ∈ (0, ∞),

(1.1)

where A is the generating operator of a semigroup of linear operators in a complex Banach space B, and their behavior near zero and inﬁnity. Previously the similar questions were considered for the solutions continuous at zero (see [1, 2]). We don’t impose any conditions on their behavior in a neighborhood of 0. This makes possible for elliptic and parabolic type partial diﬀerential equations to solve from the uniform (operator) point of view the problems of smoothness of their solutions inside a domain and existence of their boundary values in various function spaces. Note that there are a lot of works devoted to the consideration of such problems. In the particular case of harmonic (analytic) functions, the detailed investigations of such kind are contained, for instance, in the monograph [3] and the paper [4]. As is known, the problems of behavior at inﬁnity of the solutions of equation (1.1) are in the reality those of the stability theory for this equation. In the case, This work was completed with the support of NASU Research Fund (Program 0107U002333).

when A is an arbitrary bounded operator in an inﬁnite-dimensional Banach space, they were developed by M.G. Krein who devoted to this subject a number of works. The well-known monographs [5–7] are among them. And although he did not considered himself as “a genuine expert in the stability theory”, this ﬁeld was always somewhat like hobby for him. These works and the personal contacts with M.G. Krein had a strong hold over our choice of the subject, mentioned above.

2. Subspaces of inﬁnitely diﬀerentiable vectors for a closed operator Let A be a closed operator with dense domain in a Banach space B with norm · . We put C n (A) = D(An ). C n (A) is a Banach space with respect to the graphnorm of An . Denote by C ∞ (A) the space of inﬁnitely diﬀerentiable vectors of the operator A, that is, ; < C ∞ (A) = C n (A) = proj lim C n (A), N0 = N {0}. n→∞

n∈N0

In general, C ∞ (A) = B. But if, for example, the resolvent set ρ(A) of the operator A is not empty, then C ∞ (A) = B. In what follows we assume C ∞ (A) to be dense in B. Let {mn }n∈N0 be a nondecreasing sequence of positive numbers. We put < α α C{mn } (A) = ind lim Cm (A) = Cm (A), n n α→∞

α>0

α (A) = C(mn ) (A) = proj lim Cm n α→0

where

α Cm (A), n

α (A) = {x ∈ C ∞ (A)∃c = c(x) > 0, ∀n ∈ N0 : An x ≤ cαn mn } Cm n

is a Banach space with the norm α (A) = sup x Cm n

k∈N0

Ak x . αk mk

Recall that the convergence in C{mn } (A) (C(mn ) (A)) is that in some (any) space α Cm (A). n In particular, if mn = n!, we obtain the well-known spaces A(A) = C{n!} (A) and Ac (A) = C(n!) (A) of analytic and entire vectors of the operator A, respectively (see [8,9]). The spaces G{β} (A) = C{nnβ } (A) and G(β) (A) = C(nnβ ) (A) are known as the Gevrey classes for the operator A (see, e.g., [10]).

The space ExpA = G{0} (A) is called [11] the space of vectors of exponential type for the operator A. In the more speciﬁc situation when B = C([a, b]) (a < b ∈ R1 ), Au =

du , D(A) = C 1 ([a, b]), dx

the spaces C ∞ (A), A(A), Ac (A), ExpA coincide with the usual spaces of inﬁnitely diﬀerentiable on [a, b], analytic on [a, b], entire, entire of exponential type functions, respectively; G{β} (A) and G(β) (A) (β > 1) are the Roumieu and Beurling type Gevrey classes. If B = L2 (R1 ), A = A0 , A0 u = −

D(A0 ) = C0∞ (R1 ),

then [12] C ∞ (A) = S, G{β} (A) = Sβ/2 (β > 1), β/2

where P is the set of all algebraic polynomials. It should be noted that all the spaces in the above examples are dense in the input spaces. But in general this is not true. It is therefore reasonable to ask under what conditions on the operator A and the number β the equality G(β) (A) = B (or at least G{β} (A) = B) is valid. A number of mathematicians in diﬀerent times (see, e.g., [8, 9, 11, 13–15] were interested in this problem. As was shown in [16], under the condition that A is the generator of an analytic C0 -semigroup of angle θ ∈ 0, π2 , G(β) (A) = B as β > 1 − 2θ π . It follows from here that if θ = π2 , then G(β) (A) = B for any β > 0. As for the space ExpA = G{0} (A), there exist semigroups for which G{0} (A) = {0}.But under the additional condition on the resolvent RA (z) of the operator A 1 ln ln M (s) ds < ∞, 0

we have G{0} (A) = B (see [17]).

M (s) =

sup RA (z) , z:| z|≥s

M.L. Gorbachuk and V.I. Gorbachuk

If A is the generating operator of an one-parameter C0 -group {U (t)}t∈R1 in B, then, as was proved in [17], G(β) (A) = B for any β > 0. Moreover, in order that G{0} (A) = B, it is suﬃcient that ∞ −∞

ln U (t) dt < ∞. 1 + t2

3. The description of weak solutions Now consider equation (1.1), where A is a closed linear operator in B, D(A) = B, D(A∗ ) = B∗ . A vector-valued function y(t) : [0, ∞) → D(A) is called a strong (classical) solution of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) if it is continuously diﬀerentiable on [0, ∞) and satisﬁes this equation there. By a weak solution of equation (1.1) on (0, ∞) we mean a a continuous vector-valued function y(t) : (0, ∞) → B such that for an arbitrary g ∈ D(A∗ ), the scalar function y(t), g is diﬀerentiable on (0, ∞) and satisﬁes there the equation d y(t), g = y(t), A∗ g, (3.1) dt which is equivalent to the following: y ∈ C((0, ∞), B), and for any t, t0 > 0 t

y(s) ds = y(t) − y(t0 ). t0

Here ·, · denotes the pairing between the space B and its dual B∗, and C((0, ∞),B) is the space of strongly continuous B-valued functions on (0, ∞). If A is the generating operator of a C0 -semigroup of bounded linear operators in B, then all strong solutions of equation (1.1) are described [1] by the formula x ∈ D(A), (3.2) , tA denotes here and everywhere further the semigroup with generawhere e t≥0 tor A. It is not hard to see that a vector function of the form y(t) = etA x,

y(t) = etA x,

x ∈ B,

(3.3)

is a weak solution of equation (1.1), continuous at the point 0. As was shown in [18], the formula (3.3) gives all such solutions when x runs over the whole B. Our purpose is to describe all weak solutions of the equation (1.1) on (0, ∞) and investigate their behavior near 0 and ∞. Note once more, that no condition on a weak solution at 0 is preassigned. In what follows, we suppose the operator A to be the generator of a C0 semigroup of contractions, and ker etA = {0} as t > 0.

Let B−t be the completion of B in the norm x −t = etA x . 1 (t) from B onto As is easily seen, the operator etA admits a continuous extension U B−t . Taking into account that B−t ⊆ B−t when t < t , we introduce the space ; B−t , B− = proj lim B−t = t→0

t>0

and deﬁne in B− the operator family {U (t)}t≥0 as 1 (t)x if t > 0, U (0)x = x. U (t)x = U 1 (t ) to B−t coincides with U 1 (t) when t > t, the above Since the restriction of U deﬁnition is correct. The next assertion [19] characterizes the properties of U (t). Theorem 3.1. The family {U (t)}t≥0 forms an equicontinuous C0 -semigroup in the space B− such that: 1. ∀t > 0 : U (t)B− ⊆ B. 2. ∀x ∈ B : U (t)x = etA x. 3. ∀x ∈ B− , ∀t, s > 0 : U (t + s)x = etA U (s)x = esA U (t)x. 1 In 1 be the generator of the semigroup {U (t)}t≥0 . Obviously, A ⊆ A. Let A tA general, it is possible that B− = B and so U (t) = e (for example, when A is the generator a C0 -group). But if the semigroup {etA }t≥0 is diﬀerentiable, then 1 is continuous in B− , A 1 = A in B− , and the semigroup B− ⊃ B, the operator A {U (t)}t≥0 is diﬀerentiable on [0, ∞). The constructions of the space B− and the semigroup {U (t)}t≥0 enable us to describe all weak solutions of equation (1.1) on (0, ∞) (see [19]). Theorem 3.2. Every weak solution y(t) of equation (1.1) on (0, ∞) has a boundary value y0 at zero in the space B− (y(t) → y0 in the B− -topology), and y(t) = U (t)y0 .

(3.4)

Conversely, for any element y0 ∈ B− , the vector-valued function (3.4) is a weak solution of equation (1.1) on (0, ∞). The next assertion follows immediately from Theorems 3.1 and 3.2. Corollary 3.3. Let A be the generator of a diﬀerentiable (analytic) C0 -semigroup in B. Then every weak solution of equation (1.1) on (0, ∞) is an inﬁnitely diﬀerentiable (analytic) C ∞ (A)-valued (A(A)-valued) function. Corollary 3.3 implies a number of classical theorems on smoothness inside a domain of weak solutions of elliptic or parabolic partial diﬀerential equations. By the weak Cauchy problem for equation (1.1) we mean the problem of ﬁnding a weak solution of equation (1.1) on (0, ∞), which satisﬁes the condition lim y(t) = y0 ∈ B− ,

t→0

where the limit is taken in the B− -topology.

M.L. Gorbachuk and V.I. Gorbachuk Theorems 3.1 and 3.2 imply

Corollary 3.4. Whatever vector y0 ∈ B− , the weak Cauchy problem (1.1), (3.5) is uniquely solvable. The solution has the form (3.4).

4. Boundary values of weak solutions As it follows from Theorem 3.2, each weak solution y(t) of equation (1) on (0, ∞) has a boundary value at 0 in the space B− , that is, lim y(t) exists in the B− t→0

topology. The question arises of ﬁnding the weak solutions whose boundary values exist in the input space B. Theorem 4.1. Suppose the operator A to be the generator of a C0 -semigroup of contractions in a reﬂexive Banach space B and ker etA = {0} as t > 0. Let y(t) be a weak solution of equation (1.1) on (0, ∞). Then y(t) → y0 in B as t → 0 ⇐⇒ y(t) ≤ c < ∞. Thus, the boundedness of a weak solution y(t) of equation (1.1) in a neighborhood of zero in the norm of B is equivalent to the continuity of y(t) at 0 in B (analog of Fatou’s and Riesz’s theorems (see, e.g., [3]) for harmonic functions in a disk or a half-plane). Note that the reﬂexivity of B plays here the essential role. There are examples of nonreﬂexive B for which Theorem 4.1 is not correct. For instance, the L1 -boundedness of a harmonic in a disk or a half-plane function on concentric circles or lines parallel to the real axis, respectively, does not yet imply the existence of the L1 -limit of this function when approaching the boundary of a domain (see [20]). Note also that Theorem 3.1 contains a number of well-known results from the theory of boundary values of solutions of partial diﬀerential equations in various classical function spaces (see the survey [21]). Let A be a self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space H and EΔ be its spectral measure. Then ExpA = {f = EΔ h, ∀h ∈ H, Δ is an arbitrary compact set in R1}. If {mn }n∈N0 is such that mn ∀α > 0 : lim n = ∞, n→∞ α then the following dense and continuous embeddings hold: ExpA ⊆ C(mn ) (A) ⊆ C{mn } (A) ⊆ C ∞ (A) ⊆ C n (A) ⊆ H. Denote by C −n (A), C −∞ (A), C(m (A), C{m (A) the duals of C n (A), C ∞ (A), n) n} C(mn ) (A), C{mn } (A), respectively. Then the embeddings H ⊆ C −n (A) ⊆ C −∞ (A) ⊆ C{m (A) ⊆ C(m (A) ⊆ C{1} (A) n} n)

are dense and continuous, too. As was shown in [22], the following assertion takes place.

On Weak Solutions to Operator Diﬀerential Equations on (0, ∞)

121

Theorem 4.2. Let B = H be a Hilbert space, and A be a nonpositive self-adjoint operator in H. Then

B− = A (A) := C{n!} (A). Under the conditions of Theorem 4.2 on the operator A, Theorems 3.2 and 4.2 imply the existence of a weak solution y(t) of equation (1.1) on (0, ∞) such that lim y(t) = ∞. t→0

The question arises: is it possible to characterize the growth of y(t) when approaching zero in terms of the singularity order of the vector y0 appearing in the representation (3.4)? The answer is given by the next two theorems. Theorem 4.3. Let A be a nonpositive self-adjoint operator in H, and y(t) be a weak solution of equation (1.1) on (0, ∞). Then y(0) = y0 ∈ C

−n

1 (A) ⇐⇒

t2n−1 y(t) 2 dt < ∞ 0

and y(0) = y0 ∈ C −∞ (A) ⇐⇒ ∃α > 0, ∃c > 0 : y(t) ≤ ct−α ,

t ∈ (0, 1].

In the ﬁrst case y(t) → y0 (t → 0) in the space C −n (A) and in the second one in C −∞ (A)-topology. Let γ(t) be a continuous function on [0, b], b < ∞, γ(t) > 0 for t > 0, and ∃c0 > 0, ∃β0 < 1 : tγ(t) > c0 γ(β0 t). We put

⎛ G(λ) = ⎝

Theorem 4.4. Let A be a nonpositive self-adjoint operator in H. For a weak solution y(t) of equation (1.1) on (0, ∞), the following equivalences hold: y0 ∈ C{m (A) n} y0 ∈ C(m (A) n)

⇐⇒ ⇐⇒

∀α > 0, ∃c = c(α) > 0 : y(t) ≤ cγ −1 (α−1 t); ∃α > 0, ∃c > 0 : y(t) ≤ cγ −1 (α−1 t).

M.L. Gorbachuk and V.I. Gorbachuk If γ(t) = exp(−t−q ) (q > 0),

then mn = nnβ , β =

and we arrive at the following assertion. Corollary 4.5. Let A be a nonpositive self-adjoint operator in H. If y(t) is a weak solution of equation (1.1) on (0, ∞), then y0 ∈ G{β} (A) y0 ∈ G(β) (A)

⇐⇒ ∀α > 0, ∃c = c(α) > 0 : y(t) ≤ c exp(αt−q ); ⇐⇒ ∃α > 0, ∃c > 0 : y(t) ≤ c exp(αt−q ).

Here y(t) → y0 (t → 0) in the G{β} (A)- and G(β) (A)-topology, respectively. Theorems 4.3 and 4.4 and Corollary 4.5 enable us to consider from the uniform point of view a lot of known results concerning boundary values of solutions of partial diﬀerential equations in various classes of distributions.

5. Behavior of weak solutions at inﬁnity Now we shall discuss the behavior at ∞ of weak solutions of equation (1.1) on (0, ∞) in the case, when A is the generator of a C0 -semigroup of contractions in B. Recall that equation (1.1) is called exponentially stable if there exists a number ω > 0 such that for any weak solution y(t) of this equation on (0, ∞), lim eωt y(t) = 0.

(5.1)

t→∞

The equation (1.1) is called asymptotically stable if lim y(t) = 0.

(5.2)

t→∞

If dim B < ∞, then both the concepts coincide. This is, generally, not true if dim B = ∞. The next criterion for the exponential and asymptotical stability of equation (1.1) is valid. Proposition 5.1. If A is the generating operator of a bounded analytic C0 -semigroup, then the exponential stability of equation (1.1) ⇐⇒ the asymptotical stability of equation (1.1) ⇐⇒

0 ∈ ρ(A); 0 ∈ σc (A).

where σc (A) is the continuous spectrum of the operator A. In the case where the operator A is bounded, M.G. Krein has established the following theorem (see [23]).

On Weak Solutions to Operator Diﬀerential Equations on (0, ∞)

123

Theorem 5.2. Assume the operator A to be bounded. The equation (1.1) is exponentially stable if and only if there exists a number p ≥ 1 such that ∞ y(t) p dt < ∞ (5.3) 0

for any weak solution of this equation on (0, ∞). It should be noted that in this case all the weak solutions admit the extensions to exponential type entire B-valued functions. We propose a generalization of M.G. Krein’s Theorem 5.2. As follows from Theorem 3.2, in the case of unbounded A generating a C0 semigroup {etA }t≥0 in B, it is possible for some kind of weak solutions of equation (1.1) not to be continuous. They can have arbitrary degree singularities at the point 0. Therefore the integrals (5.3) with such solutions can be diverged. But it turns out to be that in order to investigate the stability of equation (1.1), it is suﬃcient to conﬁne ourselves to y ∈ C([0, ∞), B), that is, the solutions y(t) which admit a representation of the form y(t) = etA y0 ,

y0 ∈ B.

We obtain from here the next assertion. Theorem 5.3. The equation (1.1) is asymptotically stable if and only if ∀y0 ∈ B :

lim etA y0 = 0.

t→∞

(5.4)

In order equation (1.1) be exponentially stable, it is necessary and suﬃcient that ∀y0 ∈ B :

lim eωt etA y0 = 0.

In the case when the semigroup {etA }t≥0 is diﬀerentiable (analytic), it is suﬃcient for equality (5.4) (equality (5.5)) to be fulﬁlled only for y0 ∈ C ∞ (A) (y0 ∈ A(A)). Using this theorem, we obtain the next statement. Theorem 5.4. Let A be the generator of a C0 -semigroup in B. The equation (1.1) is exponentially stable if and only if for every x ∈ B there exists a number p(x) > 0 such that ∞ etA x p(x) dt < ∞. (5.6) 0

If the semigroup {etA }t≥0 if diﬀerentiable (analytic), then it is suﬃcient that the relation (5.6) be valid only for x ∈ C ∞ (A) (x ∈ G{1} (A)). This theorem generalizes the well-known Pazy theorem as well (see [24]), where it is required for p(x) to be independent of x : p(x) ≡ p ≥ 1. If equation (1.1) is asymptotically (not exponentially) stable, then the degree of convergence to 0 at inﬁnity of a weak solution can be arbitrary. Therefore it is

reasonable to ask: is it possible in this case to characterize the degree of this convergence by means of the “smoothness” property for the initial data of solutions? We solve this problem when the operator A generates a bounded analytic C0 semigroup. As Proposition 5.1 shows, in this case 0 ∈ σc (A) and (see [25, 26]) the operator A−1 is also the generating operator of a bounded analytic C0 -semigroup of the same angle. Theorem 5.5. Let A be the generator of a bounded analytic semigroup in B and 0 ∈ σc (A). Then 1 1 y(0) ∈ D(A−n ) =⇒ y(t) = o n and y(t) = O n+ε =⇒ y(0) ∈ D(A−n ). t t Moreover, ∀n ∈ N : lim (tn y(t) ) = 0 ⇐⇒ y(0) ∈ C ∞ (A−1 ). t→∞

Theorem 5.5 is contained in [27]. For the characterization of solutions whose decrease at inﬁnity is not power, we use the class (R) which was studied in detail by M.G. Krein [28], that is, the class of functions ϕ(t), t ∈ [0, ∞), of the form ∞ t ϕ(t) = dσ(s), t+s 0

If y(t) is a weak solution of equation (1.1), then ∃α > 0, ∃c > 0 : y(t) ≤ ce−αϕ(t) ∀α > 0, ∃c = c(α) > 0 : y(t) ≤ ce−αϕ(t) where mn =

Some Modern Methods in Mechanics of Cracks Mikhail A. Grekov and Nikita F. Morozov Abstract. An application of some modern methods to studying cracks in aligned composites and an interaction of curvilinear cracks with an interface is presented. The ﬁrst method based on Novozhilov’s hybrid model is focused on estimation of variation intervals of sizes of a partially bridged equilibrium crack and bridging zone. The problem of a slightly curved crack near an interface is solved by a combination of some methods which are Muskhelishvili’s method of complex potentials, an original superposition method reduced to Fredholm integral equations of the second type, and the boundary perturbation method. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). 74R10; 30E25. Keywords. Hybrid model, equilibrium crack, bridging zone, boundary perturbation method, curvilinear crack, interface, integral equations.

1. Introduction The aim of this work is to present some methods in mechanics of cracks that we have developed for the last time. The ﬁrst one relates to an equilibrium crack theory based on Novozhilov’s hybrid model [1], [2] and applied to a crack in aligned composite. In general, the hybrid model means two-level analysis of fracture. At the lower level, it is taking into account discrete structure of a body by means of considering a bridging zone of a crack near a tip. At the upper one, a macrocrack is situated in continuum. According to Novozholov, the equilibrium state of a crack in a brittle body depends on the opening displacements in the bridging zone that is a zone of interaction of atoms laying at the adjacent atomic planes, and an average stress in a small region (fracture zone) around the tip. In the most hybrid models, the critical state of a crack is estimated by the stress intensity factors (SIF) instead This work was supported by Russian Foundation for Basic Research under grants 05-01-00274 and 06-01-00452.

of analyzing the fracture zone. The ﬁrst such models were given by Leonov and Panasyuk [3], Dugdale [4] and Barenblatt [5]. Then, a lot of investigators have used similar models applied to aligned composite as well (e.g., Marshall and Cox [6], Budiansky at al. [7]). At the same time Novozhilov’s approach was generalized and developed by Morozov and his disciples and followers [8]–[11]. In many cases the nature of the bridging zone is not so clear as for the crack between two rows of atoms that Novozhilov considered in his works. For a crack in metals, the bridging zone is often taken to be part of a plastic response of continuum material [3], [4]. But concept of the bridging zone is natural for a crack in material reinforced by ﬁbers such as ceramics. Unlike a lot of studies of a bridged crack in aligned composites where a size of a bridging zone has been accepted as a given parameter, we estimate variation intervals of the size of an equilibrium crack and bridging zone before the crack begin to grow. There are a lot of problems of great importance in continuum mechanics, which can be solved by means of the perturbation method. For the last years, we have developed this method applying it to an analysis of curvilinear defects, including cracks, in diﬀerent structures [12]–[16]. Unlike many works constructing only the ﬁrst-order perturbation solution, we create an algorithm for ﬁnding any order solution of each problem considered. The application of the perturbation technique to 2-D problem of a slightly curved crack located near an interface is presented in Section 3.

2. Model of equilibrium penny-shaped crack in material reinforced by ﬁbers In this section we study equilibrium states of a circular crack in an anisotropic inhomogeneous material reinforced by unidirectional ﬁbers. This inhomogeneity, or structural imperfection of the composite, is taken into account by means of Novozhilov hybrid method [1], [2]. Namely, a crack growth is determined by two events: the breakage of outermost ﬁbers in a bridging zone, and failure of a brittle matrix in a fracture zone adjoining the edge of the crack. We assume also that before unstable crack growth, the size of the bridging zone becomes much smaller than the radius of the crack. The same approach was used by Morozov et al. [9] for plane strain. Note, that this assumption is not sine qua non and one can repeat reasoning presented in the current study and obtain analogue results without it. 2.1. The statement of an axisymmetric problem Consider an elastic composite (e.g., ceramics) consisting of a brittle matrix and brittle unidirectional ﬁbers. This composite contains a penny-shaped crack ρ2 = x21 + x22 ≤ a2 , x3 = 0 normal to the ﬁbers (Fig. 1). The crack is opened by remote ∞ loading σ33 = p and two concentrated forces P normal to the crack and applied at the center of the crack faces. The most ﬁbers that had bonded the crack surfaces have been broken and only a narrow annulus (bridging zone) b ≤ ρ ≤ a of width

Δ = a − b is bridged by the ﬁbers (Fig. 1). We represent their resistance to the crack opening by an action of the normal traction σ0 uniformly and continuously distributed over the bridging zone. The stress in the outermost bridging ﬁbers (for ρ = b) ) is equal to the ﬁber tensile strength Rf and corresponding crack opening displacement 2w is 2w(b) = 2w0 ,

(2.1)

where w0 is a parameter of the composite. The inequality w(ρ) > w0 means that the ﬁbers are broken along the circle of radius ρ. So, w(ρ) > w0 if ρ < b, and w(ρ) < w0 if b < ρ ≤ a. If w(b) < w0 , the crack is assumed to be closed. Stress σ0 is determined from the bridging law σ = σ(w), related to pulling a ﬁber out of the matrix, by means of the formula w0 c σ0 = σ(t)dt. (2.2) w0 − wB wB

Figure 1. The model of a partially bridged penny-shaped crack under applied load in an aligned composite. Here σ(w) is a tensile stress in a ﬁber, the displacement wB of the upper and lower crack faces corresponds to the beginning of the nonlinear part of the curve σ(w), c is the ﬁber volume fraction. The values of wB and w0 depend on properties of the ﬁber-to-matrix adhesion and the elastic constants of each component. Equation (2.2) means that the work of traction σ0 at the interval ( wB , w0 ) is equal to the work of the stress σ(w) arising in the ﬁbers at the boundary of the bridging zone. Note that substitution of the actual function σ0 (ρ) by constant value σ0 from this equation is similar to the Novozhilov’s substitution of the descending branch of the atom interaction law by step-function [1], [2]. Equation (2.2) is the simplest approximation of the genuine function σ0 (ρ) that, in reality, changes from

130

M.A. Grekov and N.F. Morozov

the value σ0 (b) = Rf to the value σ0 (a) = p, but as it is shown in [6], this changes can be neglected over a larger part of the bridging zone. Following Novozhilov’s fracture criterion, we assume that fracture of the matrix near a crack tip does not occur if a+D m σ33 (ρ)dρ ≤ DRm ,

(2.3)

a m where σ33 is a stress in the matrix, Rm is the matrix tensile strength, D is a size of the matrix fracture zone. Violation of condition (2.3) indicates that the crack is growing. The equality in (2.3) means that the crack is in a critical state. When there is no sliding between ﬁbers and the matrix in the unbroken part f m of the composite, the stress σ33 is related to the stress in a ﬁber, σ33 , and the average stress σ33 by the equations [6] f m σ33 /Em = σ33 /Ef = σ33 /E3 ,

(2.4)

where Ef , Em are Young’s modules of the ﬁber and the matrix respectively, E3 = cEf + (1 − c)Em . The quantity D is deﬁned as m 2 2 K1c D = kDm , Dm = . (2.5) π Rm m is the fracture toughness of the matrix, k is a characteristic of an Here K1c inﬂuence of the composite structural inhomogeneity upon the fracture process in the matrix. The equality D = Dm follows from a formal correlation of Novozhilov brittle fracture criterion and Irvin criterion for homogeneous isotropic material. In the case of a ﬁber-reinforced composite this equality means that, in spite of inﬂuence on anisotropic properties and stress ﬁeld that drives the crack, reinforcement does not aﬀect the fracture process in the matrix.

2.2. Variation interval of a size of an equilibrium crack Instead of the unidirectionally ﬁber-reinforced composite, consider an equivalent transversely isotropic homogeneous material. According to Panasyuk [17], the solution in the plane of the equilibrium penny-shaped crack x3 = 0 can be written for such a material as

a 2 − ρ2 P 2 2 ρ ≤ a, w(ρ) = 2H 2p a − ρ − 2σ0 F (ρ) + arctg , (2.6) πρ ρ = √ 2 ap − σ0 a2 − b2 πp a2 − b 2 a

Substituting expression (2.6) into (2.1) and (2.7) into (2.3) under conditions Δ/a 1, D/a 1 leads f (y) = g1 (α),

In expressions (2.9) and (2.10), d = 2a is the crack diameter, α = Δ/D is the normalized size of the bridging zone and β = w0 /(HDσ0 ) is a parameter of the composite. Denote the lower and upper boundaries of diameters of the equilibrium crack by dl and du . The last value corresponds to the critical state of the crack when both equalities in (2.8) take place. So, in this case we have equation g1 (α) = g2 (α)

(2.11)

the solution of which gives the normalized critical size αc of the bridging zone. In order to ﬁnd √ the lower boundary dl , note that function g1 (α) reaches the minimum value 2 β at the point α = α0 = β/4. Thus, as it follows from (2.8), the diameter of the equilibrium crack satisﬁes two inequalities f1 (z) ≥ 0,

f2 (z) ≤ 0,

where (2.13) fj (z) = Az 4 − Bj z 3 + C (j = 1, 2) √ √ √ and z = y, B1 = 2 β, B2 = 4αc + β/(2 αc ). The analysis shows that each equation fj (z) = 0 (j = 1, 2) has no more than two roots in the region y > 0. The values of dl and du depend on composite characteristics and applied load. An example of dependence of functions fj on the diameter d is plotted in Fig. 2 where one can see the corresponding variation interval of the diameter of the equilibrium crack. Quantities dl and du are easy determined in two special cases. According to ∞ (2.12) and (2.13), for the crack under remote loading σ33 =p 2 βσ 2 σ0 g1 (αc ) (2.14) dl = D 20 , du = D p 2p

2.3. Discussion and numerical results One can now imagine a possible behavior of the crack in the composite considered. If, under ﬁxed remote load p, the crack diameter d reaches the value du , while the size of the bridging zone Δ reaches the value Δc = αc D, the fracture process transfers to the ﬁnal stage of catastrophic fracture. Before this instant, a stable growth of the crack may occur with partially broken ﬁbers if condition (2.3) is violate but equality (2.1) is not satisﬁed. The outermost ﬁbers in the bridging zone begin to burst when equality (2.1) is satisﬁed. If the size of the bridging zone falls in the range Δc ≤ Δ ≤ Δ0 (Δ0 = α0 D) and equality (2.1) is satisﬁed, the crack will be in an equilibrium state for a ﬁxed value of p. For the case of concentrated forces P applied at the center of the crack and p = 0, the crack growth with the bridging zones is the same as without them, namely, the crack growth is always stable. It follows from the second equality of (2.15) that in order to sustain the fracture process, it is necessary to increase continuously a value of P . It is important to note that besides the presence of the bridging zone, the eﬀect of the ﬁbers on the behavior of the crack in the composite also manifests itself in inequalities E3 = Em and D = Dm . According to relations (2.14) and (2.15), the presence of ﬁbers aﬀects the values of dl and du even when Δc = 0. To illustrate an application of the above theory to a real composite, consider two ceramics: silicon carbide (SiC) or calcium-aluminosilicate (CAS) matrix reinforced with silicon carbide ﬁbers (SiC). The bridging low σ = σ(w) and all

experimental data except parameter D are presented in [7]. Some results of calculations based on these data are shown in Table 1 for three values of the fracture zone size D where df is a ﬁber diameter (df = 7 μm). Table 1.

The problem of determining the size of the fracture zone D should be highlighted. Clearly, the equality D = Dm is justiﬁed for the crack in an isotropic body the material of which is identical with the material of the matrix of the composite. For a ﬁber-reinforced material, a value of D may be diﬀerent since the damage accumulation in the matrix happens in the neighborhood of the ﬁbers the presence of which inﬂuences the fracture process. Thus, D is a characteristic of matrix damage and a characteristic of heterogeneity of the composite simultaneously. The simplest way to take into account an inﬂuence of material heterogeneity on D is to use linear dependence (2.5). According to Table 1, the critical size of the bridging zone Δc is equal to approximately 51df for SiC/SiC and 54df for SiC/CAS if D = Dm . Since Δ/a 1, the critical size of the crack has to satisfy conditions du ! 104df (du ! 728μm) for SiC/SiC and du ! 108df (du ! 754μm) for SiC/CAS. Hence, our model allows evaluating the critical size of the crack du for these composites if du is more than 1 mm. In conclusion of this section, note that Δc is the same for the plane strain and axisymmetric problem and does not depend on a type of loading [11]. Relations (2.12)–(2.15) remain valid in the case of the plane strain for a crack of length L if we replace β by 4β/π 2 and P by P L.

3. Model of a slightly curved crack near an interface To solve the correspondent 2-D problem, we use the boundary perturbation method suggested by Grekov [12] for studying a curved crack in a homogeneous plane and the superposition method elaborated by Grekov and Germanovich [18] and Grekov [19] for analyzing a rectilinear crack located near a boundary of a half-plane. Based on Goursat-Kolosov’s complex potentials and Muskhelishvili’s representations [20], the solution of the problem considered is reduced to the successive solution of Fredholm integral equations of the second type. This integral equations for any order approximations diﬀer only in the right-hand members depending on all solutions of previous levels of approximation.

3.1. The statement of the problem Consider a two-component elastic body with a ﬂat interface under plane strain or plane stress. Thus, we may formulate the corresponding 2-D problem for a plane of the complex variable z = x1 + ix2 , consisting of two half-planes Ωk = {z : (−1)k x2 > 0} (k = 1, 2). The region Ω1 contains the curvilinear crack Γc = {z : z = zc } which is a small deviation of a reference rectilinear crack of the length 2l inclined to the interface Γ by the angle α1 (Fig. 3).

3.3. Curvilinear crack in homogenous plane Consider the crack Γc in a homogeneous plane with properties of Ω1 . The boundary condition at the crack is σ c± (zc ) = q(ζc ),

z c ∈ Γc

(3.10)

Assume that q(ζc ) is the Holder-continuous function at Γc , and stresses and turning angles are equal zero at inﬁnity. According to Grekov [12], traction σ c at an element with unit normal n and displacement uc at any point ζ outside Γc are related to Goursat-Kolosov’s complex potentials Φ and Υ by the following equality Gc (z) = η1 Φ(ζ) + Φ(ζ) + Υ(ζ) − Φ(ζ) + (ζ − ζ)Φ (ζ) e−2iβ , (3.11) where β is an angle between the direction of the element deﬁned by vector t and ξ1 -axis. Functions Φ(ζ), outside the ﬁnite region bounded Υ(ζ) are holomorphic 1 1 by the curve Γc ∪ Γc Γc = {ζ : ζ = ζ c } . Deriving relation (3.11) is the ﬁrst step in our boundary perturbation method. Relation (3.11) is approximate. It becomes an exact one in the case of the recti1 c = Γc . linear crack for which Γ Let ζ → ζc ∈ Γc and β → βc in (3.11), where βc is the inclination of the tangent to Γc in coordinates ξ1 , ξ2 . Then, taking into account the evident equation e−2iβc = 1 −

and conditions (3.11), we obtain 1 − iεf (ξ ) 1 = q(ζc ), Φ± (ζc ) + Φ± (ζc ) + Υ∓ (ζ c ) − Φ± (ζc ) + 2iεf (ξ1 )Φ± (ζc ) 1 + iεf (ξ1 ) (3.12) where Φ± (ζc ) = lim Φ(ζ), Υ± (ζ c ) = lim Υ(ζ). ζ→ζc ±i0

Functions Hn± in (3.16) depend on all previous approximations and, so, in n-order approximation, functions Φnk , Υnk are known and Φnu , Υnu must be found. 3.4. Two-component plane with rectilinear interface Express now the function Gb in term of unknown functions Φ and Υ. According to Grekov [19], the traction σ b at the element with the normal n and the displacement ub in a problem on a joint deformation of two homogeneous planes having diﬀerent elastic properties are deﬁned by Gb (z) = ηk Ξk (z) + Ξk (z) − Ξk (z) + Ξk (z) − (z − z)Ξk (z) e−2iα , z ∈ Ωk (3.21) where Ξk (k = 1, 2) are functions holomorphic outside the interface Γ, α is the angle between vector t and x1 -axis, α = α1 + β.

In this case, relation (3.23) coincides to an accuracy of sign and the constant G1∞ with equality (10.31) in [19], and the right-hand side of (3.24) is b equal zero. 3.5. Integral equation of n-order approximation Functions Φ and Υ are expressed in term of unknown function q by means of equations (3.13) and (3.17)–(3.20). In order to ﬁnd q, introduce (3.11) and (3.23) into (3.9) taking η1 = 1, and pass to limit in the obtained equation under z → zc , α → αc . Then, taking into account boundary condition (3.4) and equality (3.12), we derive the following equation q(ζc ) + σ b (zc , αc ) = p0 (ζc ), zc ∈ Γc

Collecting polynomial coeﬃcients of power εn (n = 0, 1, . . . ) yields a sequence of Fredholm integral equations of the second type qn (ξ1 ) + M (Υnu , Φnu , z0 , α1 , 1) = Fn (ξ1 ), |ξ1 | ≤ l, n = 0, 1, . . .

(3.29)

It follows from (3.18) and (3.25) that M in (3.29) is Fredholm operator with continuous kernels, acting on functions qn and qn . If μ2 /μ1 = 0 or μ2 /μ1 → ∞, this operator coincides to an accuracy of sign with operator (10.35) in [19], and equation (3.29) in zero-order approximation coincides in these cases (when α1 = 0) with corresponding integral equations applied in [19] to the rectilinear crack parallel to the free and rigid boundary of the half-plane. In zero-order approximation, equation (3.29) corresponds to the rectilinear crack near the interface. This equation was derived in [19] for the case of zeroth stresses and turning angles at inﬁnity. It can be shown that the homogeneous equation corresponding to equation (3.29) has only the trivial solution and, so, equation (3.29) has the unique solution for any-order approximation. It is not diﬃcult to derive functions Fn from (3.29) for any value of n.

(3.30) Actually, formulae (3.9), ((3.11), (3.13), (3.17)–(3.20), (3.23)–(3.25), (3.28) and (3.29) give the algorithm for approximate computing stresses and displacements in two-component body containing a slightly curved crack near the interface at any-order approximation. First, as the right-hand side F0 is known, we ﬁnd q0 by solving integral equation (3.29) in the zeroth-order approximation. Then, using equations (3.17), (3.19) and (3.20), we determine the function F1 by means of equation (3.30). After that, solution of equation (3.29) gives the function q1 . The next-order approximations are found in the same way. In order to obtain a numerical solution of the integral equation (3.29), one can use the combined method of solving such equations, described in [19]. As it was shown in [19], this method was very eﬀective in the case of a rectilinear crack in a half-plane and a strip under diﬀerent type of loading including concentrated forces applied to the crack faces and the boundary of the half-plane.

A Method of the Green’s Functions for Quasistatic Thermoelasticity Problems in Layered Thermosensitive Bodies under Complex Heat Exchange Roman Kushnir and Borys Protsiuk Abstract. An approach for solution construction of the one-dimensional nonstatic heat conduction problems and corresponding quasi-static thermoelasticity problems for layered bodies of canonical form under convective-radial heating is proposed accounting temperature dependence of physical-mechanical material properties. This approach is based on employment of the Kirchhoﬀ’s substitution, distribution technique, and constructed the Green’s functions for corresponding linear non-static heat conduction problems and static elasticity problems. The solution of the heat conduction problems is reduced to the solution of integro-diﬀerential equations. In analysis of thermoelasticity problems for a layered cylinder and sphere, the elastic moduli and Poisson’s ratios are assumed to be continuous within each phase and are approximated by transient piecewise-constant functions. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 74B05; Secondary 80A20. Keywords. Layered bodies, temperature- dependent properties, quasi-static thermoelasticity problems, convective-radial heat exchange, Green’s functions, integro-diﬀerential equations.

If the linear boundary conditions of the ﬁrst, sec(k) ond, or third kind are given at the interfaces, there is no need to ﬁnd θ1 (x0 , F o), (k) θn (xn , F o). One way to ﬁnd the unknowns in relations (1.15) consists in the following procedure. For each k, the Kirchhoﬀ variable θ(x, F o) is given in the form

It is worthy to note that formulas (1.19) give the possibility to explain the “Gibbs phenomenon”, which is well known from mathematical analysis. To ﬁnd the Kirchhoﬀ variables, the iterative methods can be also employed. As the ﬁrst approximation for the Kirchhoﬀ variables, therewith, the expressions can be accepted, which have been obtained from solving the heat conduction problems for non-thermosensitive material. Having determined the Kirchhoﬀ variables, the temperature ﬁeld in layered bodies can be described by expression (k)

The problems (3.2), (3.3) are solved approximately. For each time-moment, the coeﬃcients E (k) (r, F o) and ν (k) (r, F o) are approximated by piecewise-constant functions of radial coordinate. As a result, we get the thermoelasticity problems n 0 for the multilayered cylinder and sphere, consisting of N = nj layers. Here nj j=1

denotes the number of parts, into which the j -layer of the n-layer-body is divided. By means of the Green’s functions for a multilayered isotropic cylinder and sphere [9], the solutions of the mentioned problems are obtained in the form u(k) p =

4. Concluding remarks Special cases of the above-mentioned problems for the layered plates and cylinders were studied in [2, 3, 4]. Particularly in [2, 3], the numerical studies of the temperature and thermal stresses in the speciﬁed bodies subjected to the heat ﬂux, are presented for the case n = 3 and constant thermal conductivity coeﬃcients. The temperature ﬁeld and thermoelastic state have been studied in [4] for the ﬁve-layer-plate subjected to the convective-radial heat exchange with neglecting, however, a temperature-dependence of heat and thermal conductivity.

On the Application of the M.G. Krein Method for the Solution of Integral Equations in Contact Problems in Elasticity Theory S.M. Mkhitaryan Abstract. In the present paper the M.G. Krein spectral method of integral equations solutions of the ﬁrst kind based on his investigations on inverse problems of diﬀerential operators spectral theory, is brieﬂy stated. A brief review of basic results on the solution of fairly wide class of integral equations, met in contact problems of elasticity theory is given. Keywords. Inverse problem, the M.G. Krein method, diﬀerential system, fundamental function, integral equation, Fourier generalized transformation, contact problem, elasticity theory.

In his investigation [1–4] on inverse problems of spectral theory of diﬀerential operators M.G. Krein, particularly developed a theory in which the connection between the integral equations with kernels, depending on the diﬀerence of the arguments, and Sturm-Liouville diﬀerential operators is explained. This theory permitted us to discover Sturm-Liouville diﬀerential equations whole classes, integrated in the ﬁnal form for any value of the spectral parameter and thus to obtain new formulae of Fourier generalized transformation. Simultaneously, on its base and on the base of Fourier generalized transformation a new method of integral equations with real symmetrical kernels, depending on the diﬀerence of the arguments, was suggested. This method, based on the ideas of diﬀerential operators spectral theory and generated by them formulae of Fourier generalized transformation, is known as spectral method. The spectral method permits us to obtain (under certain conditions) the solution of such integral equation for any right part, if the solution of this equation at the right part identical to equal unit is known. Later on [5] M.G. Krein used his method of integral equations with kernels of the noted type in Fredholm general integral equations of the ﬁrst and second kind. M.G. Krein formulae of the integral equations solutions are free from singular integrals, taken in the sense of the principal value according to Cauchy. Besides, the characteristic singularities of the solutions which play an important role in the

applications of the integral equations into the problems of mathematical physics are distinguished in them. By the M.G. Krein method a lot of signiﬁcant classes of integral equations, coming across in various problems of mathematical physics, particulary, in boundary value problems of potential theory, are eﬀectively solved. The M.G. Krein method was especially widely applied in contact problems of elasticity theory, plasticity theory and nonlinear theory of creep. This methods allowed us to simplify and uniﬁcate the solutions of a class of the known contact problems and to get the solutions of a class of new problems, as well. It was applied in N.Kh. Aroutyunyan [6, 7], N.Kh. Aroutyunyan and M.M. Manoukyan [8], G.Ya. Popov [9, 10], I.E. Prokopovich [11], V.M. Alexandrov [12] papers. The detailed presentation of the M.G. Krein general method, outside of this method with the theories of diﬀerential operators spectral functions, is given in [13], where the table of the solutions of integral equations for a class of contour kernels is reduced as well. The kernels of this table depend on the absolute value of the arguments diﬀerence and are expressed through the elementary transcendental functions. But the domain of the concrete application of the method is not limited by these kernels. In the author’s papers [14, 15] the above-mentioned table is signiﬁcantly widened and by the M.G. Krein method eﬀective solutions of some classes of integral equations of the ﬁrst kind with Hermitian kernels, being generalizations of kernels reduced in [13], are built. By these integral equations plane contact problems of elasticity theory, taking into account of the cohesion or friction forces in the contact zone, are described. At ﬁrst, by contour integral methods their solutions at the right parts identically equal to unit are found. Then starting from M.G. Krein above-mentioned results on diﬀerential equations, the diﬀerential systems corresponding to these integral equations are composed, their fundamental functions are represented in explicit form and the formulae of Fourier generalized transformation are noted. The fundamental functions equivalent to their canonical systems, from two equations make up in the space quadratically integrable two-dimensional vector functions, perhaps, a new class of full orthogonal systems of functions. In [16] the Krein spectral method was applied to the solution of the integral equation of the ﬁrst kind with kernel, expressed by a hypergeometrical function, which is represented as Veber-Sonin known integral. Various private cases of this equation are often met in contact problems of elasticity theory and earlier it was solved by N.I. Akhiezer and V.A. Shcerbina in [17]. Yet the application of the spectral method to the solution of the denoted equation is represented more actual and adequate. In the present paper the M.G. Krein spectral method of the linear integral equations solutions (but only for the ﬁrst kind) is brieﬂy stated. This method is very important and actual at present too and a brief review of the basic results from [14–16], obtained on the base of this methods, is reduced. M.G. Krein one general result, concerning above-denoted connections of integral equations with Hermitian kernels, depending on the diﬀerence of the arguments with diﬀerential systems, is reduced before hand.

Later on, we note that in the contact and mixed problems of elasticity theory the methods of the boundary value problems theory of analytical functions and singular integral equations are widely applied as well [18–21]. More over, in [22–24] by a fairly eﬀective method of orthogonal polynomials is developed G.Ya. Popov. The solutions determining integral equations of the contact problems by M.G. Krein methods the singular integral equations and orthogonal polynomials are represented by the formulae of the various analytical structures. M.G. Krein in due course, raised a question about correlation of these formulae and, as a ﬁnal result, the question about their identity. In the present paper on the examples of the integral equation with symmetric diﬀerence logarithmic kernel, corresponding to the plane contact problem and Carleman equations, it is shown that the formulae of their solution pointed above by three methods, turn one into another and, therefore, they are identical. 1. In the M.G. Krein papers [1–4], particularly, the following results are obtained. Let K(t) = K(−t) (−2T < t < 2T ) be a measurable, locally summable function, satisfying the following condition: at any r (0 ≤ r < T ) integral equation r q(t, r) + K(t − s)q(s, r)ds = 1 −r

has the only bounded, and it means continuous solution q(t, r). This condition is equivalent to the condition of the positive deﬁniteness squared −T < t, s < T of the Hermitian kernel K(t − s) (see [13], Chap. IV §8). Then for any complex λ we put λ r χ(r, λ) = q(s, r)e−iλs ds. (1.1) 2 −r Function χ(r, λ) turn out to be the solution of diﬀerential system [3, 4] χ d 1 dχ + [λ2 + 2λl(r)] = 0, dr p(r) dr p(r) χ(0, λ) = 0; where

They have the form > > T > Φ (r, λ) > > > (1.3) F (λ) = f1 (r) , f2 (r) H (r) > > dr > Ψ (r, λ)> 0 > > > > ∞ > f1 (r)> > Φ (r, λ) > > > > > (1.4) F (λ) > > > dσ (λ) ; >=2 > f2 (r)> > Ψ (r, λ)> p(r) = |q(r, r)|2

If T = ∞, then function σ(λ) in the unique form is determined from representation [4] t ∞ iλt 1 iλt dσ(λ) 1+ (t − s)K(s)ds = − e + iγ − sign t t, (1.5) 1 + λ2 λ2 2 0 −∞ where γ is a real number. And if T < ∞, then, in general, for determining function σ(λ) (of the problem spector (1.2)), it should be added the boundary condition at the end r = T , for example, the next, χ (T, λ) = 0. M.G. Krein reduced result takes place for the deﬁnite classes of the integral equations of the ﬁrst kind. In this case instead of the boundlessness of solution q(t, r), its integrability should be required [1, 5, 13], where p(r) will already be determined by equalities 1 r p(r) = M (r) M (r) = q(s, r)ds, (1.6) 2 −r and boundary conditions χ (0, λ) = λ, change, correspondingly, into conditions 1 dχ = λ, lim r↓0 p(r) dr

Now on the base of the reduced results we state the M.G. Krein spectral method of the integral equations solutions, being restricted only to the case of the integral equations of the ﬁrst kind with real symmetric kernels, depending on the arguments diﬀerences. So, consider the integral equation of the ﬁrst kind a K(|t − s|)ϕ(s)ds = f (t) (−a < t < a; a < T) (1.7) −a

has the unique integrable solution q(t, r). Noticing that in case of real K(t) representation (1.5) obtains the form t ∞ 1 − cos λt t (t − s)K(s)ds = dσ(λ) − sign t 2 λ 2 0 0 from here by double term wise diﬀerentiation, validity of which is assumed, we get ∞ K(t) + δ(t) = cos λtdσ(λ). 0

Taking into account that in case of integral equations of the ﬁrst kind instead of K(t) here K(t) − δ(t) should be taken, where δ(t) is the Dirac well-known function, we come to the representation ∞ cos λtdσ(λ). (1.9) K(t) = 0

Since q(t, r) is real, l(r) ≡ 0 and, therefore, diﬀerential system (1.2) in the considered case can be written in the form of 1 dψ d 1 dψ ψ + λ2 = 0, ψ(0, λ) = 0, lim = λ, (1.10) r↓0 p dr dr p(r) dr p(r) and the formulae of Fourier generalized transformation (1.3) and (1.4) will be in the form of T F (λ) = f (r)ϕ(r, λ2 )p(r)dr (1.11) 0 ∞ f (r) = 2 F (λ)ϕ(r, λ2 )dσ(λ); (1.12) 0 T

It is considered that the right part of this equation is an even function, we come to equation a [K(|t − s|) + K(t + s)]ϕ(s)ds = f (t) (0 < t < a). 0

Taking advantage of representation (1.9) we ﬁnd, that the last equation may be written in the form of a ∞ ϕ(s)ds cos λt cos λsdσ(λ) = f (t)/2. 0

Later we change integrals order and apply the operator of transformation (1.16) to the obtained equality. As a result, ∞ ϕ(t, λ2 )φ(λ)dσ(λ) = F (t), (1.18) 0

Comparison (1.19) and (1.21) gives the solution of the considered equation: a dF ds. ϕ(t) = F (a)q(t, a) − q(t, s) ds t At last, taking into account (1.6) and (1.19), we ﬁnally get a # 1 $ d ϕ(t) = q(s, a)f (s)ds q(t, a) M (a) da 0 a u $ d d # 1 − q(t, u) q(s, u)f (s)ds du, du M (u) du 0 t where

Now we assume that the right part of integral equation (1.7) is an odd function. In this case we have a [K(|t − s|) − K(t + s)]ϕ(s)ds = f (t) 0

or, taking into account representation (1.5), ∞ a ϕ(s)ds sin λt sin λsdσ(λ) = f (t)/2. 0

In this equation we rearrange the integrals order, and later we use the operation of taking the diﬀerential to it. We get ∞ φ(λ)d sin λtdσ(λ) = df (t)/2, 0

where

Later acting in the same way, as in the case of the even right part, with the help of transformation operator (1.15) and the formulae of Fourier generalized transformation (1.13) and (1.14) the solution of the initial equation will be expressed by the formula $ d a q(t, u) # u q(s, u)df (s) du, (1.23) ϕ(t) = − dt t M (u) 0 where the inner integral is understood in the sense of Stieltjes. Having noted, that arbitrary function f (t) is represented in the form of the even and old functions sum, we conclude, that the solution of integral equation (1.7) for any right part with the help of (1.22) and (1.23) can be obtained with

the help of the formula

(1.24)

For the applicability of formula (1.24) it is suﬃcient to presume that function f (t) (−a < t < a) is twice continuously diﬀerentiable. M.G. Krein stated spectral method is applicable to other types of integral equations. For example, let the integral equation be given a ∞ ϕ(s)ds χ(t, λ)χ(s, λ)dσ(λ) = f (t), (1.25) 0

0

where χ(t, λ) is the fundamental function of some boundary value problem (1.17), and σ(λ) is the orthogonal spectral function of another boundary value problem of the same type, having fundamental functions ϕ(t, λ). With this it is assumed that function σ(λ) is so that the inner integral in (1.25) exists in an ordinary sense or in the sense of the generalized functions theory. Later if the transformation operator is known t ϕ(t, λ) = T (t, s)χ(s, λ)ds, 0

then the solution of the integral equation (1.25) may be obtained in the abovestated method. The M.G. Krein rule of Fredholm general integral equation solution of the second kind, and in certain conditions Fredholm integral equation of the ﬁrst kind as well is reduced in [5, 13]. 2. As an example of application of the M.G. Krein spectral method the integral equations solutions of (1.25) type in [16] an integral equation is considered a K(t, s)ϕ(s)ds = f (t) (0 < t < a, a ≤ ∞) (2.1) 0

Under these conditions the hypergeometrical function assumes the known representation in the form of Veber-Sonin integral [25] p p + 1 q 1 4t2 s2 , , , F (t2 + s2 )p 2 2 2 (t2 + s2 )p ∞ Jq/2−1 (λt)Jq/2−1 (λs) 2p−q+1 1 λ dλ, (2.4) = Mp,q 0 (ts)q/2−1 where Mp,q = Γ(p)/2q−2p+1 Γ(q/2)Γ(q/2 − p), Γ(x) is Euler known gamma-function, and Jμ (x)-Bessel function of the ﬁrst kind of index μ. In [17] with the help of another representation of hypergeometrical function in the form of Abelian integrals [25] the solution of equation (2.1)–(2.3) is reduced to the double application of Abel inversion formulae. In [16] for the solution of equation (2.1)–(2.3) by the M.G. Krein spectral method Sonin known formula is applied [25] t Jμ (λr)rμ+1 2ν λ1−ν Jμ−ν+1 (λt) = dr (μ > −1, ν < 1) Γ(1 − ν)tμ−ν+1 0 (t2 − r2 )ν expressing any Bessel function of the ﬁrst kind through the integral, containing Bessel function with less index. Then equation (2.1)–(2.2) with the help of (2.4) is represented in the form of a ∞ 1−q/2 s ϕ(s)ds Jq/2−1 (λt)Jq/2−1 (λs)λ2p−q+1 dλ = Mp,q tq/2−1 f (t) (2.5) 0

Placing μ = p − 1, ν = 1 + p − q/2 into Sonin formula we get t Jp−1 (λr)rp dr λq/2−1 t1−q/2 Jq/2−1 (λt) = q/2−p−1 , 2 Γ(q/2 − p) 0 (t2 − r2 )1+p−q/2 where under conditions (2.3) by Abel inversion formula we ﬁnd d t Jq/2−1 (λr)rq/2 dr 2q/2−p t−p q/2−p λ Jp−1 (λt) = .

Functions Jq/2−1 (λt) and Jq/2−1 (λs) entering the inner integral of the left part (2.5) are not orthogonal with weight λ2p−q+1 . With this weight functions √ √ λq/2−p tJp−1 (λt) λq/2−p sJp−1 (λs), are orthogonal as ∞ √ √ λq/2−p tJp−1 (λt)λq/2−p sJp−1 (λs)λ2p−q+1 dλ = δ(t − s), 0

which directly generates from Hankel integral transformation formulae. On the other hand the transformation operator which is given by formulae (2.6), is known. These considerations note that the solution of equation (2.5),

i.e., equations (2.1)–(2.3) may be obtained by the M.G. Krein spectral method, described in the previous item. Having applied the above-described procedure to equation (2.5), its solution will be represented by formula a 1−2p # a1−2p F (a) $ tq−1 [s F (s)] ϕ(t) = − ds . 2 2 q/2−p Γ(1 + p − q/2) (a2 − t2 )q/2−p t (s − t ) where

In [16] important private cases of kernel (2.2) are considered, when Carleman, Hilbert-Riesz and Hertz kernels are obtained. The integral equations with such kernels are often met in contact problem of elasticity theory and creep theory. Then by the M.G. Krein general method [5, 13], in papers [14, 15] the integral equations solutions of the ﬁrst kind are built a K(t − s)ϕ(s)ds = f (t), (2.7) F (t) = −

In [14, 15] corresponding to integral equations (2.7) diﬀerential systems (1.2) are composed, their fundamental functions, which are expressed by known special

On this way by the unique method the formulae of several known integral transformations are again obtained, and in some cases their generalizations are obtained. For example expansion formulae of two-dimensional vector-function from L2 (0, ∞) by Whittaker functions, which in private case turn into Hankel integral transformation known formula. 3. We pass on to the question of correlation and identity of formulae of the integral equations solution, obtained by the M.G. Krein method and by other methods. Here we shall be conﬁned to two integral equations, met in plane contact problems of elasticity theory and nonlinear creep theory or in contact problems for linearlydeformable foundation. The solution of plane contact problem of elasticity theory on compression in vertical direction of two elastic bodies with forces statically equivalent to force P and a pair of forces with moment M , in the frame-work of Hertz’s known hypothesis and in case of one locality of contact [−a; a] is reduced to the integral equation solution [18] a 1 p(s)ds = f (x) (3.1) ln |x − s| −a under the conditions a a p(x)dx = P ; xp(x)dx = M.

Taking into account (3.5), with the help of the M.G.

Note that formula (3.6) for the solution of equation (3.1) in symmetric case was ﬁrst obtained by N.A. Rostovtsev [26]. Later assume that f (x) ∈ C1 [−a; a] (C1 [−a; a] is a class of continuous and continuously diﬀerentiable on the segment [−a; a] functions), and also, derivative f (x) in the interval (−a; a) satisﬁes the H¨older condition. Then having diﬀerentiated the both parts of equation (3.1), we come to a singular integral equation a p(s)ds = f (x) (|x| < a) (3.8) −a s − x with Cauchy kernel where the integral at s = x is understood in the sense of the principal value by Cauchy. The solution of equation (3.8) under the ﬁrst condition (3.2) has the form [18, 20] (−a < x < a) a √ 2 1 a − s2 f (s)ds P p(x) = − √ + √ .

the solution of equation (3.1) with the ﬁrst condition (3.2) can be represented by formula ∞ # $ 1 p(x) = √ P+ nan Tn (x/a) (|x| < a). (3.12) π a2 − x2 n=1 Note, that unknown parameter α, which may be determined from the second condition (3.2) with the help of (3.12) or (3.9), linearly enters coeﬃcient a1 . Thus, the solution of integral equations (3.1), built with the above-mentioned three methods, is given with formulae (3.6)–(3.7), (3.9) and (3.12). Later on, assuming, that f (x) ∈ C1 [−a; a] and the second derivative f (x) in interval (−a; a) satisﬁes Dirichlet conditions, we shall show that in this class of functions formulae (3.6)–(3.7) and (3.9) are reduced to formula (1.17). Hence it will be shown that in spite of the diﬀerence of the analytical types of formulae (3.6)–(3.7), (3.9) and (3.12), they coincide. In fact, with the assumptions made relatively to f (x), we have an = 0(n−3 ) at n → ∞ and, therefore, series (3.10) may be diﬀerentiated term by term: f (x) = a−1

Substituting now (3.13) into (3.9) and using the known relationship from [27] (p. 188, formula (48)) we come to formulae (3.12). In order to show that formula (3.12) arises from the M.G. Krein formula (3.6)–(3.7), at ﬁrst we place f+ (x) = T2n (x) (n = 1, 2, . . . ), into (3.6), where, without loss of generality, we can admit a = 1. Then for the integral calculation u In (u) = 0

the known formulae from [28] (p. 849, form. 7.349; p. 1050, form. 8.961.8) may be used, with formulae T2n (t) = Tn (2t2 − 1) (n = 0, 1, 2, . . . ) they will make π (n = 1, 2, . . .) , In (u) = Pn(−1,0) 2u2 − 1 2 (α,β)

where Pn (x) (n = 0, 1, 2, . . . ) are the Jacobi polynomials. Later, having successively calculated the rest of the necessary integrals [29, 30] from (3.6) we get p+ (x) =

2nT2n (x) √ π 1 − x2

(0 < x < 1, n = 1, 2, . . .) ,

which is equivalent to spectral relationship (3.11) at even index of n. In the same way starting from formula (3.7) and assuming a = 1, f (x) = T2n−1 (x), we obtain (3.11) at odd indexes of n. Now, if we substitute class (3.10) into (3.6)–(3.7), we come to formula (3.12) at once.

Let us pass to the second equation. A lot of contact and mixed problems of elasticity theory, when the base elasticity module by vertical coordinate changes by the power law, and the Poisson ratio is constant [23] or in the ﬁrst approach of nonlinear theory of the established creep at degree dependence between the stresses intensities and deformations velocities [7], are reduced to the Carleman integral equation [31] a ϕ(s)ds = f (t) (0 < h < 1). (3.14) |t − s|h −a Later, as above, after representation of the right part f (t) of equation (3.14) in the form of even sum and odd function, we come to the following equations: a# $ 1 1 ϕ± (s)ds = f± (t) ± (0 < t < a). (3.15) |t − s|h (t + s)h 0 Now, with the M.G. Krein formula (1.22) the solution of equation (3.15) with the even right part f+ (t) has the form [13] ,

In the same place it is shown, that from the M.G. Krein formulae (3.16)–(3.17) with the help of (3.19) we obtain the solution of equation (3.18) and formula (3.21). In the conclusion we note, that the M.G. Krein method may be also applied to the solution of dual integral equations and dual series-equations [34–36]. Note, too, that the M.G. Krein formulae of the integral equations solution, as it is represented, contain most full information on the solution structure. Acknowledgment Many thanks to L. Ghulghazaryan, A. Khachatryan, A.

The Stress Concentration in the Neighborhood of the Spherical Crack Inside the Inﬁnite Elastic Cone Gennadiy Popov and Nataly Vaysfel’d Abstract. The aim of this work is to estimate the stress intensity factor near the spherical crack inside the inﬁnite cone under the compressing load on the cone vertex. It is supposed that on the cone surface the conditions of the ﬁrst main elasticity problem are fulﬁlled. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 74B05; Secondary 14B05. Keywords. Spherical crack, cone, integro-diﬀerential equation, orthogonal polynomial method.

1. The problem statement The problems on the stress concentration in the neighborhood of the spherical form defects, situated inside the elastic conical bodies, were considered earlier [1]–[3]. They were solved for the torsion load in the dynamic statement. In this work the solution of the axisymmetric problem on stress concentration near the spherical crack, weakened the inﬁnite elastic cone under the compressing load on the cone vertex, is proposed. The compressing load of intensity P is applied to the vertex of the inﬁnite elastic cone (the shear module is G, Poisson coeﬃcient is μ). The conditions of the ﬁrst main elasticity problem are fulﬁlled on the cone surface, described in the spherical coordinates by the correspondences, 0 ≤ r ≤ ∞,

0 ≤ θ ≤ ω,

−π ≤ ϕ ≤ π,

τrθ (r, θ)θ=ω = 0, σθ (r, θ)θ=ω = 0.

(1.1)

Only the two components of the displacement vector are diﬀerent from zero, ur (r, θ), and uθ (r, θ).

174

G. Popov and N. Vaysfel’d The spherical crack on the surface r = R,

0 ≤ θ ≤ ω0 (0 < ω0 < ω),

−π ≤ ϕ ≤ π

is situated on the distance R from the cone vertex. It is supposed that the crack branches are in the smooth contact, i.e., τrθ (r, θ)r=R+0 = τrθ (r, θ)r=R−0 = 0, τrθ (R, θ) = 0, θ ∈ (0; ω0 ).

(1.2)

Here and feather f (R, θ) = f (R − 0, θ)−f (R + 0, θ) . The compressing behavior of the applied load allows to write the rest of conditions on the crack (θ ∈ (0; ω0 ): ur (R − 0, θ) = ur (R + 0, θ) , ur (R, θ) = 0, uθ (R − 0, θ) − uθ (R + 0, θ) = uθ (R, θ) = X(θ),

(1.3)

σr (R − 0, θ) = σr (R + 0, θ) , σr (R, θ) = 0, where X(θ) is the unknown jump of the displacement uθ (r, θ), which required to be estimated. Also it is needed to estimate the stress τrθ (r, θ) intensity factor in the crack neighborhood.

2. The problem reduction to the solving of the integro-diﬀerential equation The stress and displacement ﬁelds are searched as the superposition of the continuous and discontinuous ﬁeld vectors T (r, θ) = T M (r, θ) + T ∗ (r, θ). The components of the continuous ﬁeld T M (r, θ) constructed for the case of the defect absence inside the cone, was obtained in [4] Bctg 2θ , r B B cos θ σrM = −2G 2 , σθM = 2G 2 , r r (1 + cos θ) ω 2GB sin θ M τrθ , B = −A cos2 , (r, θ) = 2 r (1 + cos θ) 2 2P (μ + 2G) A= . μ (1 − cos3 ω) + G (1 − cos ω) (1 + cos2 ω) uM r (r, θ) =

For the discontinuous ﬁeld construction, when it taken in consideration the presence of the crack inside the cone, let’s apply to equilibrium equations, written in the spherical coordinates [5] / • / v sin θ (u• sin θ)• (v sin θ)• 2 / μ∗ r u + + μ0 r = 0, − 2μ∗ u − (μ0 + 2) sin θ sin θ sin θ • • / v (v sin θ) r2 v / + μ∗ + + μ0 ru/• + 2μ∗ u• = 0, (2.2) sin θ sin2 θ u (r, θ) ≡ ur (r, θ) , v (r, θ) ≡ uθ (r, θ) , μ∗ = 1 + μ0 , mu0 = (1 − 2μ)−1 .

and to the second one – ω v(r, θ)Pν1k (cos θ) sin θdθ, k = 1, 2, . . .

(2.5)

(Here and feather a stroke above a symbol deﬁnes the derivative with respect to a ﬁrst variable, and a dot – the derivative with respect to a second variable.) In the transform space the equation system is obtained: / / / μ∗ r2 uk (r) − (2μ∗ + Nk )uk (r) + (μ0 + 2)vk (r) − μ0 rvk (r) = ((μ0 + 2)v(r, ω) − u• (r, ω) − μ0 rv / (r, ω))Pν0k (cos ω) sin ω, / / / r2 vk (r) + μ∗ Nk vk (r) + μ0 rNk uk (r) + 2μ∗ Nk uk (r)

(2.6)

= μ∗ v(r, ω)(Pν1k (cos ω))• sin ω Nk = νk (νk + 1) . The boundary conditions (1.1) should be fulﬁlled. Let’s rewrite them in the following form r2 v / (r, ω) − v (r, ω) + u• (r, ω) = 0, (2.7) / • r2 u(r, θ) (v • (r, θ) + u(r, θ)) (v(r, θ) sin θ) + + μμ0 θ=ω θ = ω = 0. r2 r sin θ r The function u• (r, ω) is expressed from the ﬁrst equation (2.7) and is substituted to the right-hand part of the ﬁrst equation in (2.6). So, only two functions v(r, ω), v / (r, ω) should be deﬁned feather. Temporally we take them as known. The integral Mellin transform is applied by the generalized scheme [7] to the obtained system (2.6) ∞ fsk = fk (r)rs−1 dr (2.8) 0

As a result, we get the equation system, which is written in transform space: (μ∗ s(s − 1) − 2μ∗ − Nk ) usk + (μ0 + 2 + μ0 s) vsk @ A / = μ∗ (s − 1)Rs uk (R) − μ∗ Rs+1 uk (R) + μ0 Rs vk (R) + [(μ∗ + 2μμ0 s) vs (ω) − 2μμ0 Rs (v(R − 0, ω) − v(R + 0, ω))] Pν0k (cos ω) sin ω, (2μ∗ − μ0 s)Nk usk + (s(s − 1) − μ∗ Nk ) vsk @ A / = (s − 1)Rs vk (R) − Rs+1 vk (R) − μ0 Rs Nk uk (R) • + μ∗ vs (ω) Pν1k (cos ω) sin ω.

(2.9)

With regard of the ﬁrst condition on the crack (1.3) we have uk (R) = 0, and with regard of the second one – vk (R) = Xk . From the condition of the A @ tangent / stress equality to zero on the crack branches we obtain the relation R vk (R) = Xk . With this purpose the integral transform (2.4) is applied to this condition. From@ the normal stress jump equality to zero we obtain another one relation, A / Rμ∗ uk (R) = 2μμ0 Xk , in advance the integral transform (2.3) is applied to it. So, the algebraic system of equation is written in the form (μ∗ s(s − 1) − 2μ∗ − Nk ) usk + (μ0 + 2 + μ0 s) vsk = Rs Xk + (μ∗ + 2μμ0 s) vs (ω)Pν0k (cosω) sin ω, (2μ∗ − μ0 s) Nk usk + (s(s − 1) − μ∗ Nk ) vsk • = (s − 2)Rs Xk + μ∗ vs (ω) Pν1k (cosω) sin ω. Its solution is the following: , usk = Δ−1 α (s, k) Rs Xk + β (s, k) Pν0k (cos ω) sin ωvs (ω) & • −λ (s, k) Pν1k (cos ω) sin ωvs (ω) , % ˜ (s, k) Rs Xk + β˜ (s, k) Pν0k (cos ω) sin ωvs (ω) vsk = Δ−1 α & ˜ (s, k) P 1 (cos ω) • sin ωvs (ω) , −λ νk

As we can see, in the right-hand part of these expressions there are two unknown functions X (η) and v (ρ, ω). For the expressing the last function from the previous one X (η) let’s fulﬁll the condition of the normal stress equality to zero on the cone surface (it is the second equality in the boundary conditions (2.7)). With this aim the Mellin transform is applied to it. As a result, the formula connecting the Mellin transforms of the displacements, is obtained vs (ω) = −

After inversion of function (2.18), the expression for the original calculation is obtained γ+i∞ 1 v (ρ, ω) = Vs (ω) ρ−s ds (2.19) 2πi γ−i∞

Here the γ value should be chosen from the interval (1 − νk ; νk ) [8]. With regard of the equation (2.5) root values νk , obtained in [6], it should be executed γ ∈ (−1; 2). So, let’s chose γ = 0. After it, in the integral (2.19) the change of the variable ϕ = −is was done. It lead to the integration in the line of the real axis. The

It is remain to satisfy the ﬁrst condition from (1.2) on the one of the crack branches, for example, on the branch r = R − 0, to ﬁnd the unknown function X (η).

The series obtained in this equality is summed by formulas (2.24). Let’s substitute the summated with the help of this procedure series in the equality (2.22), where we should ﬁnd the derivative of function v (r, θ) with respect of r and pass to limit when r = R − 0. Taking into consideration that function g(r, θ) = − 21 ln(1 − 2r cos θ + r2 ) in the function v (r, θ) kernel is the harmonic one, it is possible to express the derivative with respect to ﬁrst variable through the derivative with 3 3 ∂ ∂2 respect to variable θ: r2 v / (r, θ) = −ctgθ ∂θ v (r, θ) dr− ∂θ v (r, θ) dr. 2 As a result, the integro-diﬀerential equation relatively to the unknown function X (η) is obtained: ∂2 ∂θ2

4. The stress intensity factor calculation The most important mechanical criteria of the body fracture is the stress intensity factor (SIF)

KII = lim 2πR (θ − ω0 )τrθ (r, θ) . (4.1) θ→ω0 +0

The stresses correspondingly to the superposition principe are the sum of the continuous and the discontinuous ﬁelds, where the ﬁrst addend is deﬁned by the formula (2.1), and the second addend – by the left-hand part of the integro-diﬀerential equation (3.3). Let’s change the variable by formulas (3.2) in the equality (4.1) and substitute in it the mentioned expression for the stresses. After the substitution and passing to the limit the second addend in the left-hand part of the

equation (3.3) and the addend with Mitchell solution are going to zero because of the continuity. The formula for SIF calculation take the form 1

Let’s substitute the expression (3.4) in the equality (4.2), and then let’s use the analytical extension of the spectral correspondence (3.1) on the values |x| > 1, obtained in [6]: 1

5. The numerical result consideration The SIF calculation was done for steel cone with angel ω = 600 . In Fig. 1 the graphics of SIF value dependence on the crack angle ω0 are shown. The crack is situated on the distance R from the cone vertex. The curvature 1 in Fig. 1 corresponds to the load with intensity P , the curvature 2 to the intensity P1 = 2P . As it shown in the graphics, with the crack growth the SIF value increasing is assigned, and by the increasing of load the SIF values signiﬁcantly increase also. In Fig. 2 the graphics of the same value dependence are shown, but for the case when crack is situated on the distance 3R from the cone vertex. At conservation of a general picture, nevertheless, is observed not only essential decreasing of SIF values, but also appreciable decreasing of SIF value diﬀerence at increase of load intensity twice. In Fig. 3 SIF values for the crack angle ω0 = 300 are shown. The curvature 1 correspond to the load intensity P , curvature 2 – to the intensity P1 = 2P , curvature 3 – to the intensity – P2 = 3P. As the graphics show, with increasing of the distance R from the cone vertex, where the load is applied, is observed not only the decreasing of SIF values, but is assigned also that the inﬂuence of applied load intensity on the SIF values become less essentially. All these calculations were done for cracks with angle that didn’t exceed 80% of the cone angle. If the crack angle is more than 80% from the cone angle, the calculations are fail because in this case the oﬀered approach to the problem solving is not eﬀective.

Pseudospectral Functions for Canonical Diﬀerential Systems J. Rovnyak and L.A. Sakhnovich This paper is dedicated to the memory of the great mathematician M.G. Kre˘ın.

Abstract. A pseudospectral function for a canonical diﬀerential system is a nondecreasing function on the real line relative to which the eigentransform for the system is a partial isometry. Pseudospectral functions are constructed by means of eigenfunctions and resolvent operators which depend on boundary conditions for the system. Many results hold for Hamiltonians which have selfadjoint matrix values. The most complete results require the deﬁnite case, in which it is assumed that the Hamiltonian is nonnegative. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 34L10; Secondary 47B50, 47E05, 46C20, 34B09. Keywords. Canonical diﬀerential equation, spectral function, pseudospectral function, indeﬁnite inner product, Nevanlinna function.

1. Introduction We are concerned with the spectral theory of canonical diﬀerential systems, which we write in the form dY = izJH(x)Y, 0 ≤ x ≤ , dx (1.0.1) Y1 (0, z) = 0. We assume that H(x), the Hamiltonian, has 2m × 2m selfadjoint matrix values, Y1 (x, z) 0 Im , Y (x, z) = , (1.0.2) J= Y2 (x, z) Im 0 where Y1 (x, z) and Y2 (x, z) are m-dimensional vector-valued functions, and z is a complex parameter. It is assumed throughout that H(x) is integrable on [0, ].

In a natural way, we shall deﬁne L2 (Hdx) as a Kre˘ın space of (equivalence classes of) 2m-dimensional vector-valued functions with inner product f1 , f2 H = f2∗ (t)H(t)f1 (t) dt. 0

Let W (x, z) be the unique 2m × 2m matrix-valued function satisfying dW = izJH(x)W, 0 ≤ x ≤ , dx W (0, z) = I2m .

(1.0.3)

The eigentransform for (1.0.1) is deﬁned by V f = F , 0 Im W ∗ (x, z¯) H(x)f (x) dx, F (z) = 0

for any f in L2 (Hdx). For ﬁxed f , F = V f is an m-dimensional vector-valued entire function. Our purpose here is to construct inner products ·, ·τ on vector-valued entire functions such that f1 , f2 H = F1 , F2 τ for suitable transform pairs F1 = V f1 , F2 = V f2 . The quantities τ used to deﬁne such inner products are constructed with the aid of boundary conditions at the right endpoint of [0, ], and they are called pseudospectral data for the system (1.0.1). In general, we allow Hamiltonians satisfying H(x) = H ∗ (x) a.e., and the inner product ·, ·τ is indeﬁnite. In the deﬁnite case, that is, when H(x) ≥ 0 a.e., L2 (Hdx) is a Hilbert space, and the inner product identity becomes ∞ ∗ f2 (x)H(x)f1 (x) dx = F2∗ (x) dτ (x) F1 (x), (1.0.4) −∞

0

where τ (x) is a nondecreasing m × m matrix-valued function of real x. However, (1.0.4) is not asserted for all f1 , f2 in L2 (Hdx), and in general V is a partial isometry. For this reason we call τ (x) a pseudospectral function for (1.0.1). We call τ (x) a spectral function if V is an isometry. In some cases, the pseudospectral functions that we construct are spectral functions. These results appear in Section 4 and depend on properties of eigenfunctions and resolvent operators for constant boundary conditions. Basic notions of eigenfunction and resolvent operators relative to variable boundary conditions are introduced in Section 3. With variable boundary conditions, in the deﬁnite case H(x) ≥ 0 a.e., in place of (1.0.4) we have the weaker result that ∞

whenever F = V f for some f in L2 (Hdx). This paper is a continuation of our study of indeﬁnite generalizations of some results of [15]. It diﬀers in two key ways from our previous work. Whereas operator identities and the inverse problem are central in [10, 11, 12], here operator

identities do not appear, and we are concerned now with the direct problem. The approach using eigenfunctions is similar in spirit to Atkinson [2, Chapter 9] but is technically diﬀerent. Our methods are most closely related to A.L. Sakhnovich [13]. The study of canonical diﬀerential equations is a large and old one and owes much to fundamental work of L. de Branges and M.G. Kre˘ın. For diﬀerent approaches, historical remarks, and many additional references, see Arov and Dym [1], de Branges [3, 4], Gohberg and Kre˘ın [5], Kaltenb¨ ack and Woracek [8], and the second author [14, 15]. We present background information in Section 2. In Section 3 we study eigenfunctions and resolvent operators for systems with variable boundary conditions. Our main results assume constant boundary conditions and appear in Section 4. Theorem 4.1.11 describes the isometric properties of the eigentransform for the general case of selfadjoint Hamiltonians and pseudospectral data constructed from the boundary conditions. Theorems 4.2.2, 4.2.4, and 4.2.5 are stronger results that hold for pseudospectral functions in the deﬁnite case.

2. Preliminaries Assume given a system (1.0.1) where H(x) is a measurable 2m×2m matrix-valued function satisfying (i) H(x) = H ∗ (x) a.e. on [0, ]; 3 (ii) 0 H(x) dx < ∞;

0 = 0 a.e. on [0, ] is g = 0. (iii) the only g in Cm such that H(x) g In the deﬁnite case, that is, when H(x) ≥ 0 a.e., (iii) is equivalent to: 3 H11 (x) H12 (x) (iii ) 0 H22 (t) dt ≥ δIm for some δ > 0, where H(x) = . ∗ H12 (x) H22 (x) In fact, if (iii ) is false, we can ﬁnd g = 0 in Cm such that H22 (x)g = 0 a.e. on [0, ]. Hence for any x such that H(x) ≥ 0 and any u ∈ Cm and z ∈ C, ∗ zu zu ¯ = r2 A + re−iθ B + reiθ B, H(x) 0≤ g g where z = reiθ , A = u∗ H11 (x)u, and B = u∗ H12 (x)g. This is only possible if B = 0. Since u is arbitrary, H12 (x)g = 0, and hence (iii) is false. Thus (iii) implies (iii ). The reverse implication is easy and omitted. 2.1. Fundamental solution Let W (x, z) be the unique solution of (1.0.3). In standard terminology, this is the fundamental solution of (1.0.1) whose value for x = 0 is the identity matrix. For ﬁxed x in [0, ], W (x, z) is an entire function of z satisfying W ∗ (x, z¯)JW (x, z) = W (x, z)JW ∗ (x, z¯) = J

holds for all x in [0, ] and all complex z and w. When w = z¯, (2.1.2) becomes x W ∗ (u, z¯)H(u)W (u, z) du = i W1 (x, z¯)∗ JW (x, z) 0

(2.1.4)

Here a(z), b(z), c(z), d(z) are m × m matrix-valued entire functions. By (2.1.1) and (2.1.3), for all complex z, a(z)b∗ (¯ z ) + b(z)a∗ (¯ z ) = 0,

2.2. Transform V Given a 2m-dimensional vector-valued function f , we deﬁne its transform F = V f as the m-dimensional vector-valued function 0 Im W ∗ (x, z¯) H(x)f (x) dx. F (z) = (2.2.1) 0

The functions f which we consider here are assumed to belong to the Kre˘ın space L2 (Hdx) which is deﬁned below. For each f in L2 (Hdx), the transform F = V f is an entire function with values in Cm . In the deﬁnite case, L2 (Hdx) is the well-known Hilbert space of (equivalence classes) of 2m-dimensional vector-valued functions f on [0, ] with f 2H = f ∗ (t)H(t)f (t) dt < ∞. 0

To deﬁne L2 (Hdx) in the general case, we write H(x) = H+ (x) − H− (x), where H± (x) are measurable functions on [0, ] such that H± (x) ≥ 0 and H+ (x)H− (x) = 0 a.e. As a linear space L2 (Hdx) is deﬁned to be L2 ((H+ +H− )dx). This is a Kre˘ın space in the inner product f2∗ (x)H(x)f1 (x) dx, f1 , f2 ∈ L2 (Hdx). f1 , f2 H = 0

We have L (Hdx) = L (H+ dx) ⊕ L2 (H− dx), and this direct sum is a fundamental decomposition. Two elements f1 and f2 of the space are considered identical if H(x)[f1 (x) − f1 (x)] = 0 a.e. The elements of L2 (Hdx) are thus cosets, but in the usual abuse of terminology we treat L2 (Hdx) as a space of functions. We use standard notions of orthogonality, continuity, and boundedness for operators on a Kre˘ın space. 2

Proposition 2.2.1. Let G(z) = [F (z) − F (z0 )]/(z − z0 ) where F = V f for some f ∈ L2 (Hdx) and some z0 ∈ C. Then G = iV g, where g(x) = g(x, z0 ) is the unique solution of dg = iz0 JH(x)g + JH(x)f, dx g() = 0.

0 ≤ x ≤ ,

(2.2.2)

The equation (2.2.2) is solved by setting g(x) = W (x, z0 )U (x). We get W (t, z0 )−1 JH(t)f (t) dt. (2.2.3) g(x, z0 ) = −W (x, z0 ) x

Proof. The Lagrange identity (2.1.2) can be used to show that x W ∗ (x, z¯) − W ∗ (x, z¯0 ) = −i W ∗ (u, z¯)H(u)W (u, z0 ) du JW ∗ (x, z¯0 ). z − z0 0

J. Rovnyak and L.A. Sakhnovich

Thus by (2.2.1), G(z) = [F (z) − F (z0 )]/(z − z0 ) is given by W ∗ (t, z¯) − W ∗ (t, z¯0 ) 0 Im H(t)f (t) dt G(z) = z − z0 0 t ∗ W (u, z¯)H(u)W (u, z0 ) du JW ∗ (t, z¯0 ) H(t)f (t) dt. = −i 0 Im 0

On interchanging the order of integration and using the second equality in (2.1.1), we obtain 0 Im W ∗ (u, z¯)H(u)W (u, z0 ) G(z) = −i W (t, z0 )−1 JH(t)f (t) dt du. 0

2.3. Nevanlinna pairs By a Nevanlinna pair we mean a pair R(z), Q(z) of m × m matrix-valued functions which are analytic on a region ΩR,Q containing C+ ∪ C− such that ∗ (i) R∗ (¯ z )Q(z) + z )R(z) ≡ 0 on ΩR,Q; Q∗ (¯ ¯ is nonnegative on ΩR,Q . (ii) the kernel i R (ζ)Q(z) + Q∗ (ζ)R(z) /(z − ζ)

When R(z) ≡ R and Q(z) ≡ Q are constant, ΩR,Q = C is the complex plane. Proposition 2.3.1. Let R(z), Q(z) be a Nevanlinna pair of functions analytic on ΩR,Q such that c(z)R(z) + d(z)Q(z) is invertible except at isolated points. Then the meromorphic function v(z) = i [a(z)R(z) + b(z)Q(z)] [c(z)R(z) + d(z)Q(z)]

If K(z) = c(z)R(z) + d(z)Q(z), then v(z) − v ∗ (ζ) R(ζ)∗ Q(z) + Q(ζ)∗ R(z) = K ∗ (ζ)−1 K(z)−1 z − ζ¯ i(ζ¯ − z) I I iv ∗ (ζ) W ∗ (t, ζ)H(t)W (t, z) dt (2.3.2) + −iv(z) 0 for z, ζ ∈ ΩR,Q such that z = ζ¯ and K(z) and K(ζ) are invertible. Proof. By (2.1.2) and (2.1.4), ∗ ¯ (¯ z) − J A(ζ)JA W ∗ (t, ζ)H(t)W (t, z) dt = . ¯ i(z − ζ) 0 Hence ∗ ¯ A(ζ)JA (¯ z) − J I ∗ I iv (ζ) −iv(z) ¯ i(z − ζ) I iv ∗ (ζ) W ∗ (t, ζ)H(t)W (t, z) = 0

Recall that K(z) = c(z)R(z) + d(z)Q(z). In addition, set H(z) = a(z)R(z) + b(z)Q(z). Then by (2.3.1), v(z) = iH(z)K(z)−1. By (2.1.4), R(z) a(z)R(z) + b(z)Q(z) H(z) , = A(z) = Q(z) c(z)R(z) + d(z)Q(z) K(z) and therefore

H(z)K(z)−1 R(z) −iv(z) = A(z) K(z). K(z) = Q(z) I I

By (2.1.1), A(z)JA∗ (¯ z ) = J. Hence A(z)−1 = JA∗ (¯ z )J and R(z) −iv(z) I K(z)−1 = A(z)−1 = JA∗ (¯ . z) Q(z) I −iv(z) Thus by (2.3.3), v(z) − v ∗ (ζ) = z − ζ¯

3. Systems with boundary conditions Let R(z), Q(z) be a Nevanlinna pair of functions analytic on ΩR,Q such that c(z)R(z) + d(z)Q(z) is invertible except at isolated points. We study the eigenfunctions and resolvent operators for the system dY = izJH(x)Y, 0 ≤ x ≤ , dx Y1 (0, z) = 0, R∗ (¯ z )Y1 (, z) + Q∗ (¯ z )Y2 (, z) = 0,

(3.0.1)

where z ∈ ΩR,Q and the Hamiltonian H(x) satisﬁes the conditions in Section 2. 3.1. Eigenfunctions and resolvents Consider a system (3.0.1) with Hamiltonian H(x) = H ∗ (x). Deﬁnition 3.1.1. For every ζ ∈ ΩR,Q , let Lζ be the linear subspace of L2 (Hdx) consisting of all solutions of (3.0.1) with z = ζ. We call a point ζ ∈ ΩR,Q an eigenvalue for (3.0.1) if Lζ contains a function Y (x, ζ) such that Y = 0 as an element of L2 (Hdx). In this case, we call any such Y an eigenfunction and Lζ the eigenspace for the eigenvalue ζ. Proposition 3.1.2. For any ζ ∈ ΩR,Q , Lζ is the set of functions of the form 0 , g ∈ Cm , Y (x, ζ) = W (x, ζ) g (3.1.1) ∗ ¯ ∗ ¯ ∗ ¯ ∗ ¯ [R (ζ)c (ζ) + Q (ζ)d (ζ)]g = 0 . Hence Lζ = {0} except at isolated points of ΩR,Q . Proof. Let Y = Y (x, ζ) ∈ Lζ , and set g˜ Y1 (0, ζ) . = Y (0, ζ) = g Y2 (0, ζ) Since dY /dx = iζJH(x)Y on [0, ] and W (0, ζ) = I2m , g˜ Y (x, ζ) = W (x, ζ) . g The condition Y1 (0, ζ) = 0 says that g˜ = 0, so ∗ ∗ ¯ c∗ (ζ) ¯ 0 ¯ c (ζ)g a (ζ) Y1 (, ζ) = ∗ ¯ ¯ g = d∗ (ζ)g ¯ . Y2 (, ζ) b (ζ) d∗ (ζ) ¯ 1 (, ζ) + Q∗ (ζ)Y ¯ 2 (, ζ) = 0, we get [R∗ (ζ)c ¯ ∗ (ζ) ¯ + Q∗ (ζ)d ¯ ∗ (ζ)]g ¯ = 0. From R∗ (ζ)Y Thus Y has the form (3.1.1). These steps are reversible.

Q(ζ) Q(ζ) Then dim Mζ = dim Mζ¯ = m, Mζ⊥ = JMζ¯, and Mζ¯⊥ = JMζ . Proof. Our assumptions imply that ¯ R(ζ) R(ζ) = ker ker ¯ = {0}, Q(ζ) Q(ζ) and this implies dim Mζ = dim Mζ¯ = m. By the deﬁnition of a Nevanlinna pair, ¯ ¯ + Q∗ (ζ)R(ζ) = 0, and hence JMζ¯ ⊆ Mζ⊥ . Equality holds because Mζ R∗ (ζ)Q(ζ) and Mζ¯ have dimension m. Similarly, Mζ¯⊥ = JMζ . ¯ ζ)+ ¯ Lemma 3.1.4. Let ζ ∈ ΩR,Q . Assume that R∗ (ζ)R(ζ)+Q∗ (ζ)Q(ζ) and R∗ (ζ)R( ∗ ¯ ¯ Q (ζ)Q(ζ) are invertible.

Suppose that c(ζ)R( ζ) m ∗ ¯ ∗ ¯ ¯ ∗ (ζ)]g ¯ = 0. Therefore vector g in C such that [R (ζ)c (ζ) + Q∗ (ζ)d ∗ ¯ ∗ ¯ ∗ c (ζ)g ¯ Q∗ (ζ) ¯ c (ζ)g = 0 and R (ζ) ∈ Mζ¯⊥ = JMζ , ¯ ¯ d∗ (ζ)g d∗ (ζ)g where Mζ and Mζ¯ are as in Lemma 3.1.3. Hence there is g1 in Cm such that ∗ ¯ c (ζ)g R(ζ)g1 Q(ζ)g1 = J = . ¯ d∗ (ζ)g Q(ζ)g1 R(ζ)g1 Thus by (2.1.5), ¯ + d(ζ)c∗ (ζ)g ¯ = 0. [c(ζ)R(ζ) + d(ζ)Q(ζ)]g1 = c(ζ)d∗ (ζ)g ¯ = c∗ (ζ)g ¯ = 0, which We show that g1 = 0. In fact, if g1 = 0, then d∗ (ζ)g ∗ ¯ ∗ ¯ by (2.1.5) implies that g = [a(ζ)d (ζ) + b(ζ)c (ζ)]g = 0, a contradiction. Since c(ζ)R(ζ) + d(ζ)Q(ζ) has a nontrivial kernel, it is not invertible. The result follows ¯ on interchanging the roles of ζ and ζ. The next result prepares the way for the deﬁnition of a resolvent operator in Deﬁnition 3.1.6. Proposition 3.1.5. Suppose that z ∈ ΩR,Q and c(z)R(z) + d(z)Q(z) and c(¯ z )R(¯ z) + d(¯ z )Q(¯ z ) are invertible.

The domain Ωv contains all removable singularities of (2.3.1) as well as real intervals across which this function has an analytic extension. Proposition 3.1.7.

This yields the formula for Γf (z) in (3.1.11). The equality Γf (z) = −Γf (¯ z ) follows from the identities B ∗ (¯ z ) = −B(z) and v ∗ (¯ z ) = v(z). 3.2. Deﬁnite case: V as a contraction operator We again assume given a system (3.0.1), but now in addition we assume that H(x) ≥ 0 a.e. Then L2 (Hdx) is a Hilbert space. There are no nonreal eigenvalues in this case (Proposition 3.2.1). We derive a Cauchy representation for the resolvent and show its consequence for the transform V (Theorem 3.2.4). Proposition 3.2.1. If R∗ (z)R(z) + Q∗(z)Q(z) is invertible for every nonreal z, then (3.0.1) has no nonreal eigenvalues. ¯ and suppose that Y (t, ζ) ∈ Lζ . We show that Y = 0 in L2 (Hdx). Proof. Fix ζ = ζ, We borrow a formula from the proof of Proposition 4.1.1, which is valid under the present assumptions as well: ¯ i(ζ − ζ) Y ∗ (t, ζ)H(t)Y (t, ζ) dt = Y ∗ (, ζ)JY (, ζ). (3.2.1) 0

Deﬁne Mζ and Mζ¯ by (3.1.2). The boundary condition at in (3.0.1) implies that Y (, ζ) is orthogonal to Mζ¯. Since we assume that R∗ (ζ)R(ζ) + Q∗ (ζ)Q(ζ) and ¯ ζ) ¯ + Q∗ (ζ)Q( ¯ ¯ are invertible, it follows from Lemma 3.1.3 that Y (, ζ) ∈ ζ) R∗ (ζ)R( ⊥ Mζ¯ = JMζ . Therefore R(ζ) g Y (, ζ) = J Q(ζ) for some g ∈ Cm . Then by (3.2.1) and the deﬁnition of a Nevanlinna pair, R∗ (ζ)Q(ζ) + Q∗ (ζ)R(ζ) Y ∗ (t, ζ)H(t)Y (t, ζ) dt = g ∗ g ¯ i(ζ − ζ) 0 R∗ (ζ)Q(ζ) + Q∗ (ζ)R(ζ) = −g ∗ i g ≤ 0. ζ − ζ¯ Since H(x) ≥ 0 a.e., the left side is nonnegative and hence equal to zero.

Hence v(z) has a Nevanlinna representation ∞ t 1 − dτ (t). (3.2.3) v(z) = α + βz + 1 + t2 −∞ t − z Here α and β are m × m matrices such that α =3α∗ , β ≥ 0, and τ (t) is a nonde∞ creasing m × m matrix-valued function such that −∞ dτ (t)/(1 + t2 ) is convergent. In particular, the resolvent B(z) is analytic on Ωv ⊇ C+ ∪ C− . Lemma 3.2.2. For each z ∈ C+ and f ∈ L2 (Hdx), Re B(z)f, f H ≥ Im z B(z)f, B(z)f H ≥ 0.

Proof. Without loss of generality, we can assume that c(z)R(z) + d(z)Q(z) and c(¯ z )R(¯ z ) + d(¯ z )Q(¯ z ) are invertible. Then B(z)f = V is the unique solution of (3.1.3), and thus JV , V L2

4. Constant boundary conditions and main results Our main results construct pseudospectral data and pseudospectral functions for a system (1.0.1) by considering boundary conditions as in Section 3. For this purpose it is necessary to assume that the Nevanlinna pair R(z) ≡ R and Q(z) ≡ Q in (3.0.1) is constant. In this case, the domain of analyticity of the pair is ΩR,Q = C. Thus throughout this section we assume given a system dY = izJH(x)Y, 0 ≤ x ≤ , dx (4.0.1) Y1 (0, z) = 0, R∗ Y1 (, z) + Q∗ Y2 (, z) = 0, where R, Q are m × m matrices such that R∗ Q + Q∗ R = 0, the entire function c(z)R + d(z)Q is invertible except at isolated points, and z is any complex number. As usual, we assume that the Hamiltonian H(x) satisﬁes the conditions in Section 2. Notice that R∗ R + Q∗ Q is invertible, since otherwise c(z)R + d(z)Q cannot be invertible at any point. 4.1. Construction of pseudospectral data Assume given a system (4.0.1) with Hamiltonian H(x) = H ∗ (x). The goal of this section is Theorem 4.1.11, which is the basis for the notion of pseudospectral data. We also derive additional properties of eigenfunctions and resolvents that will be important for later results. By Proposition 3.1.2, for each ζ ∈ C, Lζ is the set of functions 0 , g ∈ Cm , Y (x, ζ) = W (x, ζ) g (4.1.1) ¯ + Q∗ d∗ (ζ)]g ¯ = 0. [R∗ c∗ (ζ) Proposition 4.1.1.

Applying Lemma 3.1.3 to the subspace R ⊆ C2m , M = ran (4.1.3) Q we see that dim M = m and M ⊥ = JM . Since R∗ Y1 (, ζ1 ) + Q∗ Y2 (, ζ1 ) = 0 and R∗ Y1 (, ζ2 ) + Q∗ Y2 (, ζ2 ) = 0, Y (, ζ1 ) and Y (, ζ2 ) are orthogonal to M . Therefore Y (, ζ1 ) ∈ M ⊥ = JM and JY (, ζ1 ) ∈ M . Since Y (, ζ2 ) ∈ M ⊥ , Y ∗ (, ζ2 )JY (, ζ1 ) = 0. This proves (4.1.2). The last part of the lemma follows in a straightforward way from (4.1.2), provided that whenever (4.1.2) is applied with ζ1 = ζ2 = ζ then Y (x, ζ1 ) and Y (x, ζ2 ) are understood to be possibly diﬀerent elements of Lζ . Given a linear operator T on some linear space and an eigenvalue γ for T , let R0 (T, γ) = ker(T − γI). If Rj (T, γ) has been deﬁned for j = 0, . . . , k, let Rk+1 (T, γ) be the set of all vectors f such that (T − γI)f ∈ Rk (T, γ). We call R0 (T, γ), R1 (T, γ), . . . the root subspaces for T for the eigenvalue γ. Lemma 4.1.2. Given a linear operator T with eigenvalue γ, (i) the subspaces R0 (T, γ), R1 (T, γ), . . . are invariant for T ; (ii) {0} ⊆ R0 (T, γ) ⊆ R1 (T, γ) ⊆ · · · , and if equality holds at one stage, it holds at all later stages; (iii) if R0 (T, γ) is ﬁnite dimensional, so is Rk (T, γ) for every k = 0, 1, 2, . . . ; (iv) if R0 (T, γ) is ﬁnite dimensional and γ = 0, then T is a one-to-one mapping from Rk (T, γ) onto itself for each k = 0, 1, 2, . . . . The details are elementary and omitted. We introduce an analogous notion for canonical systems. (0)

for some Y (k) ∈ Lζ . We call Lζ , Lζ , . . . the root subspaces for (4.0.1) for the eigenvalue ζ. (0)

(1)

It is easy to see that for any eigenvalue ζ of (4.0.1), Lζ ⊆ Lζ ⊆ · · · , and if equality holds at one stage, it holds at all subsequent stages. Theorem 4.1.4. Let z0 ∈ C, and assume that c(z0 )R + d(z0 )Q is invertible. (i) The nonzero eigenvalues of the resolvent operator B(z0 ) coincide with the set of numbers i/(z0 − ζ) where ζ is an eigenvalue of (4.0.1). (ii) For each eigenvalue ζ of (4.0.1) and every k = 0, 1, 2, . . . , (k)

Lζ

= Rk (B(z0 ), i/(z0 − ζ)). (0)

(0)

Proof. Let ζ be an eigenvalue for (4.0.1). Thus Lζ = Lζ = {0}. If Y ∈ Lζ , then dY = iζJH(x)Y = iz0 JH(x)Y + JH(x)[i(ζ − z0 )Y ], dx Im 0 Y (0) = 0, and R∗ Q∗ Y () = 0. Therefore B(z0 )[i(ζ − z0 )Y ] = Y . It follows that i/(z0 − ζ) is a nonzero eigenvalue of B(z0 ), and (0)

Lζ ⊆ R0 (B(z0 ), i/(z0 − ζ)). On the other hand, if Y ∈ R0 (B(z0 ), i/(z0 − ζ)), we can reverse these steps to (0) show that Y ∈ Lζ . Thus i/(z0 − ζ) is a nonzero eigenvalue of B(z0 ), and (0)

Lζ = R0 (B(z0 ), i/(z0 − ζ)). Conversely, suppose that γ is a nonzero eigenvalue of B(z0 ). Consider any eigenvector Y . Then B(z0 )[γ −1 Y ] = Y . This means that dY = iz0 JH(x)Y + JH(x)[γ −1 Y ], dx ∗ Im 0 Y (0) = 0, R Q∗ Y () = 0. Deﬁne ζ by γ = i/(z0 − ζ). Then dY = iz0 JH(x)Y + JH(x)[i(ζ − z0 )Y ] = iζJH(x)Y, dx Im 0 Y (0) = 0, and R∗ Q∗ Y () = 0. Hence Y is an eigenvector for (4.0.1). Thus far we have proved (i). We have also proved (ii) for k = 0. In particular, for any eigenvalue ζ of (4.0.1), (0)

dim R0 (B(z0 ), i/(z0 − ζ)) = dim Lζ < ∞ by the representation (4.1.1) of the elements of an eigenspace. It remains to complete the proof of (ii). Suppose we know that (k)

satisfying (4.1.4). Then

dY = iz0 JH(x)Y + JH(x)[i(ζ − z0 )Y + Y (k) ], dx ∗ Im 0 Y (0) = 0, R Q∗ Y () = 0, which means that B(z0 )[i(ζ − z0 )Y + Y (k) ] = Y , or $ # i i I Y =− B(z0 )Y (k) . B(z0 ) − z0 − ζ z0 − ζ

(4.1.5)

(k)

Since Y (k) ∈ Lζ

= Rk (B(z0 ), i/(z0 − ζ)), by (4.1.5) and Lemma 4.1.2(iv), # $ i B(z0 ) − I Y ∈ Rk (B(z0 ), i/(z0 − ζ)), (4.1.6) z0 − ζ and so Y ∈ Rk+1 (B(z0 ), i/(z0 − ζ)). Thus (k+1)

Lζ

⊆ Rk+1 (B(z0 ), i/(z0 − ζ)).

(4.1.7)

To prove the reverse inclusion, consider any Y ∈ Rk+1 (B(z0 ), i/(z0 − ζ)). Then Y satisﬁes (4.1.6). Using Lemma 4.1.2(iv), we deduce (4.1.5) for some (k)

Y (k) ∈ Rk (B(z0 ), i/(z0 − ζ)) = Lζ . (k+1)

Now we can reverse the steps and conclude that Y ∈ Lζ holds in (4.1.7), and the proof of (ii) is complete. We say that a real interval (a, b) is H-indivisible if H(x) = ηh(x)η ∗

where h(x) is a measurable function with selfadjoint m × m matrix values, and α and β are m × m matrices such that η ∗ Jη = α∗ β + β ∗ α = 0. The notion of an H-indivisible interval is due to Kac [7]. See also Hassi, de Snoo, and Winkler [6] and Kaltenb¨ ack and Woracek [8, Part IV]. It should be noted that some authors use a trace-normed Hamiltonian, and their formulas have a diﬀerent appearance. 2 2 (Hdx) be the subspace of L2 (Hdx) consisting of all f such Deﬁnition 4.1.5. Let L that for every H-indivisible interval (a, b), there is a c ∈ C2m satisfying H(x)f (x) = H(x)c

a.e. on (a.b).

When H(x) ≥ 0 a.e., L2 (Hdx) is a Hilbert space, and an argument in Kac 2 2 (Hdx) is closed. In the general case [7] can be used to show that the subspace L ∗ 2 H(x) = H (x), the inner product of L (Hdx) is indeﬁnite, and we make no similar assertion. Proposition 4.1.6. (1) Let F = V f be given by (2.2.1) for some f in L2 (Hdx). If 2 2 (Hdx), then F (z) ≡ 0. f is orthogonal to the subspace L (0) (1) 2 2 (Hdx).

By (4.1.8) and the identity η ∗ Jη = 0, d ∗ (η Y (x)) = i¯ z η ∗ Jηh(x)η ∗ Y (x) = 0 dx a.e. on (a, b). Therefore η ∗ Y (x) ≡ const. on (a, b). The constant belongs to the range of η ∗ , and so η ∗ Y (x) = η ∗ c on (a, b) for some c ∈ C2m . Then H(x)Y (x) = ηh(x)η ∗ Y (x) = ηh(x)η ∗ c = H(x)c 2 2 (Hdx), g ∗ F (z) = 0 2 2 (Hdx). Since f is orthogonal to L a.e. on (a, b). Hence Y ∈ L by (4.1.9). By the arbitrariness of g, F (z) ≡ 0. 2 2 (Hdx) by the (2) Eigenfunctions have the form (4.1.1) and hence belong to L (0) (k+1) 2 2 proof of (1). Thus Lζ ⊆ L (Hdx). Let Y = Y (x) ∈ Lζ , k ≥ 0. Then Y satisﬁes an equation (4.1.4). Let (a, b) be an H-indivisible interval with H(x) represented in the form (4.1.8) on (a, b). By (4.1.4) and (4.1.8), d ∗ (η Y (x)) = iζη ∗ Jηh(x)η ∗ Y (x) + η ∗ Jηh(x)η ∗ Y (k) (x) = 0 dx a.e. on (a, b) because η ∗ Jη = 0. Therefore η ∗ Y (x) ≡ const. on (a, b). As in the 2 2 (Hdx). proof of (1), we deduce that Y ∈ L Proposition 4.1.7. The identity B(z) − B(w) = i(z − w)B(z)B(w) holds at all points w, z such that B(z) and B(w) are deﬁned. Hence the subspace K = ker B(z) is independent of z. Proposition 4.1.7 is a statement about resolvent operators for systems (4.0.1) with constant boundary conditions. The resolvent identity does not hold in general for systems (3.0.1) with variable boundary conditions. Proof. Fix f ∈ L2 (Hdx). Without loss of generality assume that c(z)R + d(z)Q and c(w)R + d(w)Q are invertible. Then according to Deﬁnition 3.1.6, B(z)f and B(w)f are determined by Proposition 3.1.5.

h1 (0) = 0, R∗ h1 () + Q∗ h2 () = 0, Therefore B(z) f − i(z − w)h = h, and the result follows.

Proposition 4.1.8. For any complex number ζ, the following are equivalent: (i) ζ is an eigenvalue for (4.0.1); (ii) c(ζ)R + d(ζ)Q is not invertible. ¯ + d(ζ)Q ¯ Proof. (ii) ⇒ (i) If c(ζ)R + d(ζ)Q is not invertible, neither is c(ζ)R by ∗ ∗ ¯ ¯ Lemma 3.1.4. Hence we can choose g = 0 in Cm such that [R∗ c∗ (ζ)+Q d (ζ)]g = 0. Thus (see (4.1.1)) 0 ∈ Lζ . Y (x, ζ) = W (x, ζ) g We show that Y = 0 as an element of L2 (Hdx). Argue by contradiction. If Y is equivalent to zero in L2 (Hdx), then f ∗ (t)H(t)Y (t, ζ) dt = 0 0

for all f ∈ L2 (Hdx). This implies that H(x)Y (x, ζ) = 0 a.e., and hence dY /dx = iζJH(x)Y = 0 a.e. on [0, ]. Therefore Y is constant, and so 0 0 = 0 a.e. and H(x) Y (x, ζ) = Y (0, ζ) = g g By the nondegeneracy condition (iii) in our assumptions on H(x) in Section 2, g = 0, a contradiction. Therefore Y = 0 in L2 (Hdx) and ζ is an eigenvalue for (4.0.1). (i) ⇒ (ii) If ζ is an eigenvalue for (4.0.1), there is a function (4.1.1) which is not equivalent to zero in L2 (Hdx).

• Let τ = τ R,Q be the collection of all eigenvalues λj , μk , μ ¯k together with the matrices τj , βk , j = 1, . . . , r and k = 1, . . . , s.

The inner product in L20 (τ ) is nondegenerate and in general indeﬁnite. We investigate the transform F = V f deﬁned by (2.2.1) as a mapping from L2 (Hdx) into L20 (τ ). Lemma 4.1.10. Assume that v(z) has only simple poles. Let Y (x, ζ) belong to Lζ and have the form (4.1.1). Then V Y belongs to L20 (τ ) and is equivalent to the function F deﬁned by + z = ζ, Δζ g, (4.1.17) F (z) = 0, z = ζ, where ¯ + d (ζ)c∗ (ζ)]. ¯ Δζ = Δ∗ζ¯ = i[c (ζ)d∗ (ζ)

Thus F (ζ) = G(ζ). To show that G is equivalent to F in L20 (τ ), by (4.1.17) we must show that for all w = ζ, γ(w)[F (w) − G(w)] = 0, that is, γ(w)G(w) = 0, or γ(w)

since F1 (ζ) = 0 for ζ = ζ1 by (4.1.24). In the same way, F2 (ζ) = 0 for ζ = ζ2 , and hence F2 (ζ¯1 ) = 0 because ζ¯1 = ζ2 . Thus F1 ⊥ F2 in L20 (τ ), and (4.1.25) follows. ¯ By (2.1.6), Case 2: ζ2 = ζ¯1 .

in order to verify (4.1.25), we must show that g2∗ Δ∗ζ¯ γ(ζ)Δζ g1 = g2∗ Δζ g1 . ∗ ¯ d (ζ)g1 R . Hence ∈ ran As in the proof of Lemma 4.1.10, ∗ ¯ Q c (ζ)g1 ¯ 1 R˜ g1 = d∗ (ζ)g

(4.1.29)

Next use (4.1.10) and (4.1.11) to write i(ζ − z)[a(z)R + b(z)Q] = [γ(ζ) + (ζ − z)v1 (z)][c(z)R + d(z)Q], where v1 (z) is holomorphic at z = ζ. On diﬀerentiating this relation with respect to z and then setting z = ζ, we obtain −i[a(ζ)R + b(ζ)Q] = −v1 (ζ)[c(ζ)R + d(ζ)Q] + γ(ζ)[c (ζ)R + d (ζ)Q].

Thus by (2.1.5) and (4.1.18), g2∗ Δ∗ζ¯ γ(ζ)Δζ g1 = g2∗ Δ∗ζ¯g1 = g2∗ Δζ g1 . This proves (4.1.27) and veriﬁes (4.1.25) in Case 2.

(2) Let F = V f , where f ∈ L2 (Hdx) and f ⊥ Lζ for all ζ ∈ C. To show that F = 0 as an element of L20 (τ ), by (4.1.16) we must show that γ(ζ)F (ζ) = 0 for every ζ ∈ C. In fact, for every g ∈ Cm , 0 ¯ ∈ Lζ¯ W (x, ζ) (4.1.31) γ(ζ)∗ g by Proposition 4.1.9.

Since g is arbitrary, γ(ζ)F (ζ) = 0. 4.2. Deﬁnite case: pseudospectral functions

Let a system (4.0.1) be given as before, and in addition assume that H(x) ≥ 0 a.e. Then the function v(z) deﬁned by (4.1.10) is a Nevanlinna function by (2.3.2). The main results of this section appear in Theorems 4.2.2, 4.2.4, and 4.2.5. Proposition 4.2.1. The eigenvalues of (4.0.1) are real. For any complex number ζ, the following are equivalent: (i) ζ is an eigenvalue for (4.0.1); (ii) c(ζ)R + d(ζ)Q is not invertible; (iii) ζ is a pole of v(z). Proof. Since H(x) ≥ 0, the eigenvalues of (4.0.1) are real by Proposition 4.1.1 (or Proposition 3.2.1). The equivalence of (i) and (ii) is shown in Proposition 4.1.8. (iii) =⇒ (ii) This is obvious from the deﬁnition of v(z) in (4.1.10). (i) =⇒ (iii) If ζ is an eigenvalue of (4.0.1), then there is a Y = 0 in L2 (Hdx) of the form (4.1.1). By Lemma 4.1.10, V Y is equivalent to the function F (x) given by (4.1.17). Since H(x) ≥ 0, by Theorem 4.1.11(1) and (4.1.15), ¯ 0< Y ∗ (t, ζ)H(t)Y (t, ζ) dt = F, F L2 (τ ) = F ∗ (ζ)γ(ζ)F (ζ). 0

0

So γ(ζ) = 0, and hence ζ is a pole of v(z) by (4.1.11).

Since v(z) is meromorphic in C and a Nevanlinna function, its poles are real and simple, and hence the pseudospectral data constructed in Theorem 4.1.11 take a simpler form. By Proposition 4.2.1, the poles of v(z) coincide with the eigenvalues {λj }rj=1 of (4.0.1). Thus we have τj + vj (z), v(z) = λj − z where τj ≥ 0 and vj (z) is holomorphic at λj , j = 1, . . . , r, and ∞ t 1 − dτ (t), v(z) = α + βz + 1 + t2 −∞ t − z

where τ (t) is a nondecreasing m × m matrix-valued step function with jumps τj at the points λj , j = 1, . . . , r. The inner product space L20 (τ ) is positive and has a Hilbert space completion to L2 (dτ ). Theorem 4.2.2. The transform F = V f , 0 Im W ∗ (x, z¯) H(x)f (x) dx, F (z) = 0 2 2 acts as a partial isometry D r from L (Hdx) into L (dτ ) with initial space N equal to the closed span N = j=0 Lλj of all eigenfunctions for the system (4.0.1).

It will be shown in Theorem 4.2.4 that the mapping in Theorem 4.2.2 is always onto. Theorem 4.2.2 constructs a family of pseudospectral functions for the system (1.0.1) in the sense of the following deﬁnition. Deﬁnition 4.2.3. A pseudospectral function for (1.0.1) is a nondecreasing function τ (t) of real t such that the transform 0 Im W ∗ (x, z¯) H(x)f (x) dx (V f )(z) = 0

acts as a partial isometry from L2 (Hdx) into L2 (dτ ). If the partial isometry is an isometry, we call τ (t) a spectral function for (1.0.1). We say that a pseudospectral function τ (t) is orthogonal if the range of the partial isometry is all of L2 (dτ ). Proof of Theorem 4.2.2. By Theorem 4.1.11(1), V acts isometrically from the linear span of all eigenfunctions into L2 (dτ ). Hence V acts isometrically from N into L2 (dτ ). Theorem 4.1.11(2) asserts that every function in L2 (Hdx) which is orthogonal to all eigenfunctions is mapped by V to the zero element of L2 (dτ ). Alternate proof of part of Theorem 4.2.2. We give another proof that V is isometric on N, using resolvent operators and Theorems 4.1.4 and 3.2.4. This argument avoids any use of Lemma 4.1.10 and Theorem 4.1.11. By (3.2.9), V is a contraction from L2 (Hdx) into L2 (dτ ). It is therefore suﬃcient to show that for any eigenvalues λj and λk , Y (x, λj ), Y (x, λk )H = Fj (t), Fk (t)L2 (dτ ) ,

(4.2.2)

where Y (x, λj ) and Y (x, λk ) are corresponding eigenfunctions and Fj (z) and Fk (z) are their transforms under V . By Theorem 4.1.4, B(z)Y (x, λj ) =

i Y (x, λj ) z − λj

for every z such that c(z)R + d(z)Q is invertible. For such z, B(z)Y (x, λj ), Y (x, λk )H =

i Y (x, λj ), Y (x, λk )H . z − λj

(4.2.3)

where the limit is through points such that c(iy)R + d(iy)Q is invertible. By the identity (3.2.8) in Theorem 3.2.4, ∞ −iy Fj∗ (t) dτ (t) Fk (t) lim y B(iy)Y (x, λj ), Y (x, λk )H = lim y→∞ y→∞ −∞ t − iy = Fj (t), Fk (t)L2 (dτ ) .

(4.2.4)

We obtain (4.2.2) from (4.2.3) and (4.2.4).

Theorem 4.2.4. The pseudospectral function τ (t) constructed in Theorem 4.2.2 is orthogonal. Proof. It is suﬃcient to show that for each j = 1, . . . , r, V Lλj = Mj , where Mj is the subspace of functions in L2 (dτ ) which are supported at λj . By Lemma 4.1.10, V Lλj ⊆ Mj . Since V |Lλj is one-to-one and dim Mj = rank τj , we only need to show that dim Lλj ≥ rank τj . For any g ∈ Cm , 0 ∈ Lλj Y (x, λj ) = W (x, λj ) (4.2.5) τj g by Proposition 4.1.9. If Y = 0 as an element of L2 (Hdx), then Y ∗ (t, λj )H(t)Y (t, λj ) dt = 0.

(4.2.6)

0

Since H(x) ≥ 0 on [0, ] we conclude that H(x)1/2 Y (x, λj ) = 0, and hence dY = izJH(x)Y = 0 dx a.e. on [0, ]. Thus Y is constant, and so Y (x, λj ) ≡

0

g ∗ τj

H(t) dt 0

0 . Then by (4.2.6), τj g

0 = 0, τj g

and so τj g = 0 by the condition (iii ) at the beginning of Section 2. Therefore we can ﬁnd a linearly independent set of elements of Lλj of the form (4.2.5) containing rank τj elements. Hence dim Lλj ≥ rank τj , and the result follows. Theorem 4.2.5. The following are equivalent. (i) The function τ (t) in Theorem 4.2.2 is an orthogonal spectral function for the system (1.0.1). (ii) The eigenfunctions for (4.0.1) are complete in L2 (Hdx). (iii) For some and hence any z in the domain of the resolvent, ker B(z) = {0}.

Pseudospectral Functions

215

Proof. (i) ⇔ (ii) This follows from Theorems 4.2.2 and 4.2.4. (ii) ⇔ (iii) By Proposition 4.1.7, K = ker B(z) is independent of z in the domain of the resolvent. Therefore in (iii) it is suﬃcient to consider some z = z0 such that z0 = z¯0 and c(z0 )R + d(z0 )Q is invertible. Then iB(z0 ) is a compact selfadjoint operator by Proposition 3.1.7. By the spectral theorem, the eigenfunctions for iB(z0 ) are complete in L2 (Hdx). By Theorem 4.1.4, the eigenfunctions for iB(z0 ) for its nonzero eigenvalues have the same closed span as the eigenfunctions for (4.0.1). Now assume (ii). Then L2 (Hdx) is the closed span of the eigenfunctions for iB(z0 ) for its nonzero eigenvalues. So the origin is not an eigenvalue of iB(z0 ). Thus ker B(z0 ) = {0}, and (iii) follows. The proof that (iii) implies (ii) follows on reversing these steps. Corollary 4.2.6. Conditions (i)–(iii) in Theorem 4.2.5 hold if H(x) has invertible values a.e. Proof. We verify condition (iii) in Theorem 4.2.5. Suppose f ∈ ker B(z0 ) for some real number z0 such that c(z0 )R + d(z0 )Q is invertible. If H(x) has invertible values, then a function in L2 (Hdx) is equivalent to the zero element of the space if and only if it is equal to zero a.e. Hence by Deﬁnition 3.1.6 and (3.1.4), x 0 Im J W (x, z0 ) W ∗ (t, z0 )H(t)f (t) dt −iv(z0 ) 0 0 : 0 0 ∗ J + W (t, z0 )H(t)f (t) dt ≡ 0. −iv(z0 ) −Im x Multiply by W (x, z0 )−1 , then diﬀerentiate to get W ∗ (x, z0 )H(x)f (x) = 0 a.e. Again since H(x) has invertible values a.e., it follows that f (x) = 0 a.e. This veriﬁes the condition (iii) in Theorem 4.2.5, and so the corollary follows. Recall that by Proposition 4.1.7, the subspace K = ker B(z) is independent 2 2 (Hdx) be as in Deﬁnition 4.1.5. of z in the domain of the resolvent. Let L 2 2 (Hdx). Proposition 4.2.7. (1) The subspace K = ker B(z) contains L2 (Hdx) ( L (2) The eigenfunctions for (4.0.1) are complete in L2 (Hdx) ( K. 2 2 (Hdx). We must show that B(z)f = 0 for z in Proof. (1) Let f ∈ L2 (Hdx) ( L the domain of the resolvent. We may suppose that z ∈ C+ ∪ C− , in which case we can use the representation (3.2.8). It follows from (3.2.8) that for any g ∈ L2 (Hdx), ∞ ∗ G (t)dτ (t)F (t) , iB(z)f, gH = t−z −∞ where F and G are the transforms of f and g as in (2.2.1). Since we assume that f is 2 2 (Hdx), F ≡ 0 by Proposition 4.1.6(1). Thus iB(z)f ⊥ L2 (Hdx), orthogonal to L and hence B(z)f = 0.

216

J. Rovnyak and L.A. Sakhnovich

(2) Write K = ker B(z0 ), where z0 is a real number such that c(z0 )R + d(z0 )Q is invertible. As in the proof of Theorem 4.2.5, the eigenfunctions for (4.0.1) have the same closed span as the eigenfunctions for iB(z0 ) for its nonzero eigenvalues. This closed span is L2 (Hdx) ( K because K = ker B(z0 ). In A.L. Sakhnovich [13], the term “pseudospectral function” is used in a little diﬀerent way from our deﬁnition. What is called a “pseudospectral function” in [13] will be called a “strong pseudospectral function” here. Deﬁnition 4.2.8. By a strong pseudospectral function for a system (1.0.1) we mean a pseudospectral function τ (t) such that the kernel of V as an operator from L2 (Hdx) into L2 (dτ ) coincides with the set of all f in L2 (Hdx) such that (V f )(z) ≡ 0 for all z. A strong spectral function for (1.0.1) is a spectral function τ (t) such that, whenever f belongs to L2 (Hdx) and its transform F = V f is zero in L2 (dτ ), then (V f )(z) ≡ 0 for all z. The term orthogonal applied to these notions has the same meaning as in Deﬁnition 4.2.3. Thus if τ (t) is a pseudospectral function, it may occur that the subspaces K+ = {f : f ∈ L2 (Hdx) and V f = 0 in L2 (dτ )}, K− = {f : f ∈ L2 (Hdx) and (V f )(z) = 0 for all z ∈ C},

(4.2.7)

do not coincide, although in every case K− ⊆ K+ . The condition for τ (t) to be a strong pseudospectral function is that K+ = K− . The next result follows easily from Theorem 4 of A.L. Sakhnovich [13]. Set v0 (z) = i[a(z) + b(z)][c(z) + d(z)]−1 .

(4.2.8)

Since c(z) + d(z) is entire and has value Im for z = 0, it is invertible except at isolated points. It is easy to see that Im v0 (z) ≥ 0 on C+ (but v0 (z) = v0∗ (¯ z )). Proposition 4.2.9. The pseudospectral function τ (t) constructed in Theorem 4.2.2 is strongly pseudospectral if 1 ∗ [c (−iy) − d∗ (−iy)][v(iy) − v0 (iy)][c(iy) − d(iy)] = 0. (4.2.9) lim y→∞ y Dr In this case, the closed span N = j=0 Lλj of the eigenfunctions of (4.0.1) is equal to the closed span of all functions 0 (4.2.10) Y (x, z) = W (x, z) , z ∈ C, g ∈ Cm . g Proof. Deﬁne K+ and K− by (4.2.7). By Theorem 4.2.2, VD acts as a partial isomr etry from L2 (Hdx) into L2 (dτ ) with initial space K⊥ + = j=0 Lλj . By [13, Theorem 4(a)], the condition (4.2.9) D r implies that the isometric set of V coincides with ⊥ ⊥ K⊥ . Hence K = K = − − + j=0 Lλj . In particular, K− = K+ , and therefore τ (t) isDa strong pseudospectral function. The last statement follows from the equality r ( j=0 Lλj )⊥ = K− together with the observation that a function f in L2 (Hdx) belongs to K− if and only if f is orthogonal to all functions of the form (4.2.10).

Trivially V is the zero operator on L2 (Hdx) to L2 (dτ ) = {0}. The question arises if Theorem 4.2.2 generalizes to systems (3.0.1) with nonconstant functions R(z) and Q(z). That is, is the function τ (x) in (3.2.3) always a pseudospectral function? An example shows that this is not necessarily the case. Choose the Nevanlinna pair Q(z) = −iqz,

R(z) = 1,

z ∈ C,

where q > 0. By (4.2.14), v(z) = i and so

By (4.2.13), the transform F = V f of any f in L (Hdx) is constant. The orthogonal complement of ker V in L2 (Hdx) is spanned by the element ⎧ 0 ⎪ ⎪ 0 < x < x0 , ⎪ ⎨ 0 , f0 (x) = ⎪ ⎪ 0 ⎪ ⎩ , x0 < x < , 1 whose transform F0 = V f0 is given by F0 (z) = − x0 . Thus F0 2L2 (dτ ) =

so V is not isometric on the orthogonal complement of its kernel. Hence τ (x) is not a pseudospectral function. We remark that the inequality F0 2L2 (dτ ) ≤ f0 2H is a special case of (3.2.9). Added in proof. The authors plan to treat the case in which v(z) has nonsimple poles in future work.

On Wave Hyperbolic Model for Disturbance Propagation in Magnetic Fluid Igor Selezov Abstract. A new extended model of ferrohydrodynamics is presented. The model takes into account the ﬂuid compressibility and heat relaxation. As a result, such a model is governed by the partial diﬀerential equations of hyperbolic-elliptic type and predicts the wave propagation with a ﬁnite velocity unlike tradition models. The solvability of the corresponding problem for plane waves is investigated. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 76W05; Secondary 78A40. Keywords. Wave hyperbolic model, magnetic ﬂuid, disturbance propagation, ﬁnite velocity.

1. Extended equations of magnetic ﬂuid motion Tradition model of magnetoﬂuid dynamics includes the heat equation of parabolic type which predicts the propagation of a weak discontinuity with inﬁnite velocity after excitation of the medium. Here this paradox is overcome by the extension of parabolic partial diﬀerential operator up to hyperbolic ones [2]. Similarly, the elliptic partial diﬀerential operator for incompressible ﬂuid is extended up to hyperbolic ones for compressible ﬂuid. Moreover, unlike traditional model we take into account the eﬀect of the temperature on a magnetization and, as a result, obtain the extended equation for magnetic potential instead of Laplace equation [1]. As a result, instead of tradition equations of ferrohydrodynamics of parabolic-elliptic type, we obtain the system of equations of hyperbolic-elliptic type predicting the propagation of disturbances with ﬁnite velocities. Propagation of plane monochromatic waves is considered on the basis of this system. The ferroﬂuid (magnetic ﬂuid) is a suspension of magnetite particles with sizes of (3 − 15) 10−9 m in vacuum oil. The density of particles is 1023 particles/m3 . Such a structure allows to describe it by the equations of continuum physics. The main signiﬁcant property of magnetic ﬂuid is a strong magnetization.

the velocity of heat propagation, in (1.10) ∇ is the scalar Hamilton operator. Equation (1.8) includes at the right-hand part the term taking into account the inﬂuence of temperature and dissipative term connected with the losses in magnetic ﬂuid. Equation (1.9) includes the term with the time relaxation τ and the term taking into account the eﬀect of dilatational ﬁeld. As is seen from equation 0 = 0. Thus, the (1.8) the last term is not equal to zero only in the case when ∇Ψ original equations for the vector ﬁeld are reduced to a closed system of equations (1.8)–(1.10) for three scalar functions ϕ, tˆ and ψ.

2.

4. Travelling waves The solution is presented in the form of monochromatic waves tˆ(x, t) ∼ ei(kx−ωt) .

After substituting (4.1) into (2.6) we obtain the condition of solvability in the form λ λ τ c4p − τ c2t + c20 c2p + τ c20 c2t − i c3p − i (qt − qm ) cp = 0, (4.2) 2π 2π 2π where cp = ωk is the phase velocity, λ is the wavelength, k = 2π λ , ω = λ cp . In general case the equation (4.2) gives two pair of complex-conjugate roots. Later on we consider two degenerate cases: long wavelength approximation and short wavelength approximation. At λ → ∞ (or τ → 0) the slow motions are determined by the condition of existence of solutions √ cp = q m − qt , qm > qt .

1. Introduction. Diﬀerential and diﬀerence problems It is known that (see, e.g., [1]–[5] and the references given therein) many applied problems in ﬂuid mechanics, other areas of physics and mathematical biology were formulated as nonlocal mathematical models. However, such problems were not well investigated in general. The nonlocal boundary value problem

Here, we introduce the fractional space Eα = Eα (E, A)(0 < α < 1), consisting of all v ∈ E for which the following norm is ﬁnite: exp{−tA} E→E ≤ M e−δt , A exp{−tA} E→E ≤

v Eα = sup λα A(λ + A)−1 v E . λ>0

In this paper, positive constants, which can diﬀer in time (hence: not a subject of precision) will be indicated with an M. On the other hand M (α, β, . . . ) is used to focus on the fact that the constant depends only on α, β, . . . . In [9], the well-posedness of the nonlocal boundary value problem (1.1) was established in Bohner spaces Lp (E)(1 < p < ∞), Lp (Eα,p )(0 < α < 1, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) and Lp (Eα,q )(0 < α < 1, 1 < p, q < ∞) under assumption (1.2). Here, we introduce the fractional space Eα,p = Eα,p (E, A)(0 < α < 1), consisting of all v ∈ E for which the following norm is ﬁnite: p1 ∞ p dλ α −1 v Eα,p = λ A(λ + A) v E , 1≤p<∞ λ 0

and Eα,∞ = Eα . We now consider the well-posedness of diﬀerence problem. For the construction of diﬀerence schemes, we deﬁne the uniform grid space [0, 1]τ = {tk = kτ, 0 ≤ k ≤ N, N τ = 1}. Assume that 2τ ≤ λ. We consider the ﬁrst-order of accuracy implicit Rothe diﬀerence scheme + u −u k k−1 + Auk = ϕk , ϕk = f (tk ), tk = kτ, τ (1.3) 1 ≤ k ≤ N, u0 = u[ λ ] + μ, τ

Next, on Fτ (E) we introduce the Banach spaces Cτ (E) = C([0, 1]τ , E), Cτβ,γ (E) = C β,γ ([0, 1]τ , E)(0 ≤ γ ≤ β < 1), Lp,τ (E) = Lp ([0, 1]τ , E)(1 ≤ p < ∞) with the norms ϕτ Cτ (E) = max ϕk E , 1≤k≤N

In [8], the stability and coercive stability of the diﬀerence schemes (1.3) and (1.4) in Cτα,α (E) and C and almost coercive stability , τ (Eα ) (0 < α < 1) spaces (with multiplier min ln τ1 , 1 + |ln A E→E | ) of the diﬀerence schemes (1.3) and (1.4) in Cτ (E) spaces were established. In [12], the coercive stability of the diﬀerence schemes (1.3) and (1.4) in Cτβ,γ (E)(0 ≤ γ ≤ β < 1) and Cτβ,γ (Eα−β )(0 ≤ γ ≤ β ≤ α < 1) spaces were established. In fact, the following inequality > > −1 τ >{τ (u −uk−1 )}N > 1 Lp,τ (E) ≤ M [ ϕ Lp,τ (E) + Aμ E ] k does not, generally speaking, hold in an arbitrary Banach space E and for the general strong positive operator A. Nevertheless, in [9], the well-posedness of the diﬀerence schemes (1.3) and (1.4) was established in Bohner spaces Lp,τ (E) = Lp ([0, 1]τ, E) with 1 < p < ∞ and Lτ,p (Eα,p )(0 < α < 1, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) and Lp (Eα,q )(0 < α < 1, 1 < p, q < ∞) under assumption (1.2). Finally, methods for numerical solutions of the evolution diﬀerential equations have been studied extensively by many researchers (see [13]–[33] and the references therein). In the present paper, the single step diﬀerence schemes of the high order of accuracy for the approximate solution of this problem are presented. The construction of these diﬀerence schemes is based on the Pad´e diﬀerence schemes for the solution of the initial-value problem for abstract parabolic equation and the high order approximation formula for v(0) = v(λ) + μ. The stability and coercive stability of the diﬀerence schemes (1.3) and (1.4) in Cτα,α (E) and , Cτ (Eα ) (0 < α < 1) spaces and almost coercive stability (with multiplier min ln τ1 , 1 + |ln A E→E | ) of these diﬀerence schemes in Cτ (E) spaces are established.

2. Pad´e diﬀerence schemes Applying the high order approximation formula for v(0) = v(λ) + μ and using the Pad´e diﬀerence schemes for the solution of the initial-value problem for abstract parabolic equation (see [10]), one can present the single step Pad´e diﬀerence schemes of (p + q)th-order of accuracy q uk − uk−1 p + αj (−A)j τ j−1 uk − βj (−A)j τ j−1 uk−1 = ϕk , (2.1) j=1 j=1 τ p j−1 ϕk = − αj (−A)j−i+1 f (i) (tk )τ j−1 j=1 i=0 q j−1 + βj (−A)j−i+1 f (i) (tk−1 )τ j−1 , 1 ≤ k ≤ N, j=1

The operator A is said to be strongly positive if its spectrum σ (A) lies in the interior of the sector of angle φ, 0 < 2φ < π, symmetric with respect to the real axis, and if on the edges of this sector, S1 (φ) = {ρeiφ : 0 ≤ ρ ≤ ∞ } and −1 S2 (φ) = {ρe−iφ : 0 ≤ ρ ≤ ∞}, and outside the resolvent (λ − A) is subject to the bound > > M (φ) > −1 > .

Note that the Pad´e diﬀerence schemes (2.1) for q = p−2, p−1, p include diﬀerence schemes of arbitrary order of accuracy. Moreover, the corresponding functions Rq,p (z), q = p − 2, p − 1, p are bounded at inﬁnity. Unfortunately, the stability and coercive stability of the Pad´e diﬀerence schemes in the special cases q = p = 1 for the approximate solutions of problem (1.1) have not been established. Therefore, we will consider the Pad´e diﬀerence schemes (2.1) for q = p − 2, p − 1. Assume that (p + q)τ ≤ λ for λτ ∈ / Z. Initially, the following necessary lemmas will be provided. Lemma 2.1.

Let τ be a suﬃciently small number. Then, the boundary value problem (2.1) is stable in Cτ (E) and Cτα,α (E). Proof. By [10], [Theorems 1.5 and 2.1 in Chapter 3], uτ Cτ (E) ≤ M [ u0 E + ϕτ Cτ (E) ],

Using estimates (2.4), (3.5) and (3.6), we get $ # u0 E ≤ M1 (δ) μ + ϕ0 E + ϕτ Cτ (E) .

(3.7)

Finally, from estimate (3.7) for solutions of the boundary value problem (2.1) and estimates (3.1), (3.2) it follows the stability of the boundary value problem (2.1) in Cτ (E) and Cτα,α (E). Theorem 3.1 is proved. The nonlocal boundary value problem (2.1) is said to be coercively stable (well posed) in Fτ (E), if we have the following coercive inequality >⎧ ⎫N > > > p q >⎨ ⎬ > > > j j−1 j j−1 αj (−A) τ uk − βj (−A) τ uk−1 > > >⎩ ⎭ > j=1 > > j=1 1 Fτ (E)

$ # , τ + τ −1 (uk − uk−1 ) N 1 Fτ (E) ≤ M A(μ + ϕ0 ) E + ϕ Fτ (E) . Since the nonlocal boundary value problem (1.1) in the space C(E) of continuous functions deﬁned on [0,1] and with values in E is not well posed for the general positive operator A and space E, then the well-posedness of the diﬀerence boundary value in Cτ (E) norm does not take place uniformly with respect to τ > 0. This means that the coercive norm , uτ Kτ (E) = τ −1 (uk − uk−1 ) N 1 Cτ (E) >⎧ ⎫N > > p > q >⎨ ⎬ > > > j j−1 j j−1 +> αj (−A) τ uk − βj (−A) τ uk−1 > >⎩ ⎭ > j=1 > j=1 > 1

Cτ (E)

tends to ∞ as τ → +0. The investigation of the diﬀerence problem (2.1) permits us to establish the order of growth of this norm to ∞. Theorem 3.2. Let τ be a suﬃciently small number. Then, for the solution of the diﬀerence problem (2.1), we have the following almost coercive inequality : 1 τ u Kτ (E) ≤ M (δ) min ln , 1 + |ln A E→E | ϕτ Cτ (E) τ (3.8) $ + A(μ + ϕ0 ) E .

We say that the diﬀerence operator Axh is a λth-order (λ > 0) approximation of the diﬀerential operator Ax , if the inequality sup |Axh ϕ (x) − Ax ϕ (x)| ≤ M (ϕ) hλ

holds for any smooth function ϕ (y) . The coeﬃcients bxs are chosen in such a way that the operator Axh approximates in a speciﬁed way the operator Ax . It will be assumed that the operator Axh approximates the diﬀerential operator Ax with any prescribed order [38]. The function Ax (ξh, h) is obtained by replacing the operator Δk± in the right-hand side of equality (4.3) with the expression ± (exp {±iξk h} − 1), respectively, and is called the symbol of the diﬀerence operator Bhx . It will be assumed that for |ξk h| ≤ π and ﬁxed x the symbol Ax (ξh, h) of the operator Bhx = Axh − σIh satisﬁes the inequalities π (4.4) (−1)m Ax (ξh, h) ≥ M |ξ|2m , | arg Ax (ξh, h)| ≤ φ < φ0 ≤ . 2 Suppose that the coeﬃcient bxs of the operator Bhx = Axh − σIh is bounded and satisﬁes the inequalities kh |bx+e − bxs | ≤ M h , s

The Factorization of the Flow, Deﬁned by the Euler-Poisson’s Equations Alexandr Belyaev Abstract. The factorization of the ﬂow, deﬁned by three-body problem, gives us an opportunity to compactiﬁcate the phase space and to investigate the global properties of the solutions of this problem. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 55R55, 34M30, 74H10; Secondary 34M45, 74H05. Keywords. Three-body problem, factorization of the ﬂow, ﬁrst integral, singular points, analytic functions, entire functions, compact holomorphic manifold, holomorphic foliation.

1. Introduction The properties of diﬀerential equations’ solutions with an analytic right-hand side much depend on the singular points of these solutions, lying in the complex plane of time. It is a well-known fact that S. Kovalevskaya’s classic solution ([1]) of the Euler–Poisson equations was found when she investigated the single-valued solutions of the problem. The systematic research of the singular points of the solutions in the aggregate with the compactiﬁcation of the ﬂow ([2]), deﬁned by the Euler–Poisson equations, allows us not only to ﬁnd some partial solutions with given properties ([3]) but also to investigate global properties of these solutions ([4]). That is the reason we should use this approach to investigate the three-body problem (see, for example, [5], [6] and bibliography in [7], [8]). The essence of this method is obtaining the compact holomorphic manifold with the one-dimensional foliation F having the singular points, as the result of the factorization of the ﬂow of the phase space. The compactiﬁcation of this problem enables us to consider the solutions globally, and that is really important for the research of nonlinear diﬀerential equations. Besides the singularities of the foliation F are correspondent to the

singularities of the complex solutions of the initial problem. They can be studied eﬃciently. In this paper we accomplish the factorization of the ﬂow of the three-body problem, obtain the asymptotics and the classiﬁcation of the singular points. The main theorem of the paper is following: Theorem 1.1. All the solutions pi (t), qi (t) ∈ C3 , i = 1, 2, 3, t ∈ C, of three body problem ⎧ pi ⎪ ⎨q˙i = m i qi − qj p ˙ = −Gm mj . ⎪ i ⎩ i |q − q |3 j=i

where |qi − qj | =

have the singular points. All the singular but not essentially singular points of the solutions (p(t), q(t)) of three-body problem have the asymptotic behavior ⎧ p1 = q˙1 , σ, ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨mq1 = I t + m1 q1 (0) + G1/3 (m2 x3 − m3 x2 ), σ, σ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ μk vk tλk +2/3 + · · · ; ˜0 t2/3 + κ2 u2 t8/3 + ⎪ ⎩x(t) = x 1≤k≤4

here σ denotes the circle permutation of indices 0 (1, 2, 3), x(t) = (x1 (t), x2 (t), x3 (t)), κ2 , μk ∈ C are free parameters, I = i mi q˙i is an integral of the kinetic momentum. All the vectors x ˜0 , u2 , vk ∈ (C3 )3 and the parameters λk ∈ C, Re λk > 0, are found eﬃciently if the solutions of the polynomial s1 (m2 + m3 )ρ5 + s1 (3m2 + 2m3 )ρ4 + (s1 (3m2 + m3 ) − (s2 − s3 )m1 )ρ3 − (s2 (3m1 + m3 ) − (s1 − s3 )m2 )ρ2 − s2 (3m1 + 2m3 )ρ − s2 (m1 + m3 ) = 0, where si = ±1, are known. Either essentially singular point t∗ of the solution pi (t), qi (t) of three-body problem have the following description. Let π is the natural projection π : C18 → C18 /C, deﬁned by the following action: α : (p1 , p2 , p3 , q1 , q2 , q3 ) → (αp1 , αp2 , αp3 , α−2 q1 , α−2 q2 , α−2 q3 ). Then the limit set X∗ = lim π((pi (t), qi (t)) is contained in the set X0 t→t∗

2. Preliminaries Now we consider the problem (see, for example, [5]) on moving n bodies (m1 , r1 ), . . . , (mn , rn ), mi ∈ R+ , ri ∈ R3 which move by the law of gravity. Kinetic and potential energy are correspondingly equal 1 G mj mk T = . mi r˙i2 , U = − 2 i 2 |rj − rk | j,k,j=k

The Lagrangian L = T − U determines the following system of diﬀerential equations: ri − rj m¨ ri = −Gmi mj . (2.1) |ri − rj |3 j=i

The ﬁrst integrals of the system (2.2) are H, I = mi q˙i , M = qi × pi . i

In the classic notation (2.1), (2.2) of n-body problem there is the module which is the local real-analytic function in the right-hand side of the system. As we want to consider the n-body problem for the complex time, the right-hand side of the diﬀerential equations is necessary to be complex-analytical. Therefore the function module for the vector q ∈ C3 should be considered as complex-analytical function which is determined by the formula:

2 + q2 + q2 . |qi | = qi1 i2 i3 We use the following notation for the norm of the vector: √ qi = qi1 q¯i1 + qi2 q¯i2 + qi3 q¯i3 .

3. The factorization of the ﬂow of n-body problem Let pi (t), qi (t), i = 1, 2, 3 be the solution of n-body problem then αpi (α3 t), α−2 qi (α3 t) is solution too. Due to this fact the factorization on the set of trajectories of the system (2.2) is possible. Remark 3.1. The ﬂow of the problem (2.2) allows the factorization with the action of the orthogonal group So(3, C) ([13]) pi → Api ,

qi → Aqi ,

A ∈ So(3, C),

but using this factorization does not give us any visible technic preferences. Proposition 3.2. Let C act as a transformation group on Cn in the following way: α : (z1 , . . . , zn ) → (αk1 z1 , . . . , αkn zn ), (k )

(k )

k = (k1 , . . . , kn ) ∈ Nn . Then the factor-space Pkn−1 = {(z1 1 : · · · : zn n )} is a compact holomorphic manifold ([14]) with respect to this action. Proof. Let π0 , π be the canonical projections π0 : Cn → P n−1 ,

π : Cn → Pkn−1 .

Then let us consider the mapping of the complex projective space P n−1 f : P n−1 → Pkn−1 . This mapping is assigned as follows: f 0 : (z1 , . . . , zn ) → (z1k1 , . . . , znkn ),

f = π ◦ f 0 ◦ π0−1 .

It is clear that the mapping f is correct but it has singular points zi = 0. The mapping f is open, therefore any atlas of the manifold P n−1 induces atlas Pkn−1 , hence, Pkn−1 is a holomorphic manifold. The compactness of the manifold Pkn−1 follows from the compactness of P n−1 . Proposition 3.3. The projection π : C3n + C3n → P∗6n−1 , F GH In F GH In where ∗ = (1, . . . , 1 , 2, . . . , 2 ), is determined by the next formula: (1)

(2)

(2) π : (p1 , . . . , pn , q1 , . . . , qn ) → (p1 : · · · : p(1) n : w1 : · · · : wn ),

where wi = |qqii|2 and induces the structure of the holomorphic C-one-dimension foliation ([15]) F of the compact holomorphic manifolds P∗6n−1 . Proof. According to the deﬁnition of π, the vector (αp1 , . . . , αpn , α−2 q1 , . . . , α−2 qn ) is projected onto {(αp1 , . . . , αpn , α2

q1 qn , . . . , α2 ), α ∈ C}. |q1 |2 |qn |2

Remark 3.4. The projection π can be deﬁned in the more natural way: (1)

(−2)

π : (p1 , . . . , pn , q1 , . . . , qn ) → (p1 : · · · : p(1) n : q1

: · · · : qn(−2) ),

but in this case the image of the mapping is a noncompact manifold. Remark 3.5. We can use the mapping π −1 which has the following presentation: π −1 : (p1 : · · · : pn : w1 , . . . , wn ) : w1 −2 wn , . . . , α ), α ∈ C → (αp1 , . . . , αpn , α−2 |w1 |2 |wn |2 if it is necessary. Remark 3.6. The foliation F is integrable as there exists the invariant mapping J : P∗6n−1 \ X → P 6 , J : η → (H(ξ) : I12 (ξ) : I22 (ξ) : I32 (ξ) : M21 (ξ) : M22 (ξ) : M23 (ξ)), ξ = π −1 (η), X = {η ∈ P∗6n−1 : H(π −1 (η)) = 0, I(π −1 (η)) = 0, M(π −1 (η)) = 0} Moreover the surface X is ﬁber invariant for the foliation F too. Proposition 3.7. The singular points of the foliation F are the following: π-projections of the solutions (˜ p0 , q˜0 ) of the characteristic system ⎧ p˜i ⎪ ⎪ qi + 3 = 0, ⎨−2˜ mi q˜i − q˜j ⎪ mj = 0, ⎪ ⎩p˜i − 3 Gmi |˜ qi − q˜j |3

π-projections of the singular points of the system (2.2), i.e., the points {π(p1 , . . . , pn , q1 , . . . , qn ) : ∃i, j |qi − qj | = 0} and (1)

(2)

(2) 6n−1 {(p1 : · · · : p(1) : ∃i |wi | = 0}. n : w1 : · · · : wn ) ∈ P∗

Proof. Evidently singular points of the equation (2.2) {π(p1 , . . . , pn , q1 , . . . , qn ) : ∃i, j |qi − qj | = 0} are projected onto singular points of the foliation F . Moreover if the vector (p, ˙ q) ˙ touches the π-pre-image of π(p, q) the point π(p, q) will be a singular point of the foliation too. Such points satisfy the system (3.1), which we call a characteristic system. At last the points of the manifold P∗6n−1 which does not have the pre(1) (1) (2) (2) image, i.e., the points {(p1 : · · · : pn : w1 : · · · : wn ) ∈ P∗6n−1 : ∃i |wi | = 0} may be singular points. Remark 3.8. The solution of the characteristic system (3.1) determines the central conﬁguration leading to some partial solutions of three-body problem, discovered by Euler and Lagrange ([9], [10], [11]).

4. The change of variables for the 3-body problem Further we make the calculations for 3-body problem. In this case the problem has the dimension 18. Using the integrals, this dimension can be lowered to 8 ([16]). However diﬀerential equations which can be received in this way, are very inconvenient for further investigations. That is the reason we change the variables without lowering of the problem’s dimension in order to get the equations as simple as possible. At ﬁrst we pass to the relative coordinates: ⎧ (q2 − q3 ) · G −1/3 , σ ⎨x1 = (4.1) p2 p3 ⎩y 1 = · G−1/3 , σ. − m2 m3 Here and lower σ denotes the circle permutation of indices (1, 2, 3). The system (2.2) takes the following form ⎧ ⎨x˙1 = y1 , σ x2 x3 x1 (4.2) + ) − (m2 + m3 ) ), σ ⎩y˙1 = (m1 ( |x2 |3 |x3 |3 |x1 |3 If the system (4.2) is solved it will be simple to ﬁnd pi , qi : ⎧ ⎨p1 = q˙1 , σ 1/3 ⎩q1 = G (IG−1/3 + m2 x3 − m3 x2 ), σ, m 0 where m = σ m1 .

Theorem 4.1. The system of the diﬀerential equations (4.5) is equivalent to threebody problem (2.2) and is the canonical Hamiltonian system with the coordinates xi (m , zi ).

The fact that the system (4.5) is canonical can be tested by the straight calculation. Now we make one more change of variables ([2]) which allows us to investigate the asymptotics of the singular points of the solutions of three-body problem. Let t∗ ∈ C be the singular point of the solution (xi (t), zi (t)) (i.e., t∗ is a singular point of one of the coordinate functions of (xi (t), zi (t))). It is necessary to get rid of the branching in t∗ , if any, by representing xi (t) = x ˆi (Ln(t − t∗ )α ), α zi (t) = zˆi (Ln(t − t∗ ) ), where x ˆi (τ ), zˆi (τ ) is single-valued function if Re τ → −∞. The system (4.5) is transformed into ⎧ ⎪ τ /α 1 ˙ ⎪ ˆ1 = α e mzˆ1 − m1 zˆ1 , σ ⎨x x ˆ1 ⎪ ⎪ ⎩zˆ˙1 = − α1 eτ /α , σ; |xˆ1 |3

where the derivative is taken with respect to τ. In order to make the right-hand side of the equation independent of τ, we make a replacement of the variables in the following form: x ˜i (τ ) = eβτ x ˆi (τ ), γτ z˜i (τ ) = e zˆi (τ ). Then we have ⎧ ⎪ τ β+τ /α 1 ˙ ⎪ ˜1 = β x mˆ z 1 − m1 ˜1 + α e zˆ1 , σ ⎨x ⎪ ⎪ ⎩z˜˙i = γ z˜1 −

We see that the right-hand side is independent of τ, if β + α1 = γ, γ + α1 = 1 2 , β = − 3α , Taking α = 13 , we obtain the following system: −2β, i.e., if γ = 3α ⎧ 0 ⎨x ˜˙ 1 = −2˜ x1 + 3 (m˜ z1 − m1 σ z˜1 ), σ x ˜1 (4.6) ⎩z˜˙1 = z˜1 − 3 , σ. 3 |xˆ1 | The dependence between the diﬀerential systems (4.5) and (4.6) is expressed by the following relations: 1 1 −1/3 2/3 Ln(t − t∗ ) , xi (t) = (t−t∗ ) x Ln(t − t∗ ) (4.7) z˜i ˜i zi (t) = (t−t∗ ) 3 3 Theorem 4.2. The solution of the system (4.5) does not have a singularity at the point t∗ if only the corresponding solutions of (4.6) have the asymptotic behavior x˜i ∼ x ˜i0 e−2τ , z˜i ∼ z˜i0 eτ if Re τ → −∞. Proof. It is enough to substitute the asymptotics x ˜i ∼ x ˜i0 e−2τ , z˜i ∼ z˜i0 eτ into (4.7). Remark 4.3. If we know the asymptotic behavior of the solutions x˜i , z˜i we will be able to obtain the asymptotics of the singular points of the solutions (4.5) using (4.7).

5. The singular points of the foliation F for 3-body problem The projection π from Proposition 2.2 for the system (4.5) has the following form: xi (1) (1) (1) (2) (2) (2) . π : (z1 , z2 , z3 , x1 , x2 , x3 ) → (z1 : z2 : z3 : w1 : w2 : w3 ), wi = |xi |2 The correspondent system of diﬀerential equations for the ﬁber of F on the manifold P∗17 takes the following form: + 0 0 w˙1 = −2w1 (w1 , mz1 − m1 σ z1 ) + |w1 |2 (mz1 − m1 σ z1 ), σ (5.1) z˙1 = −w1 |w1 |, σ The system (5.1) is suitable for the investigation of global properties of threebody problem because this system is deﬁned on the compact manifolds and its right-hand side is always determined. At the same time the system (4.5) as essentially more simple is more convenient for calculations. Proposition 5.1. The singular points of the foliation F of the compact holomorphic manifold P∗17 are the projections π(˜ x0i , z˜i0 ) of the roots of the characteristic system ⎧ 0 ⎨−2˜ x1 + 3 (m˜ z1 − m1 σ z˜1 ) = 0, σ x ˜1 (5.2) ⎩z˜1 − 3 = 0, σ. |˜ x1 |3

Proof. This proposition is similar to Proposition 3.7. (1) (2) (2) As for the points of the form {(z1 : z2 : z3 : w1 : w2 : w3 ) ∈ P∗17 : ∃i|wi | = 0}, pretending to be singular due to the singularity of the functions |wi |, they form the invariant surface in P∗17 . We can make sure that it is true by ﬁnding the derivative of the function |wi |2 along the vector ﬁeld (5.1). This derivative is identically equal to zero on the surface |wi |2 = 0. The roots of the characteristic system (5.2) were already known to Euler and Lagrange. We present their ﬁnding for completing the paper, taking into consideration that this ﬁnding is simple. Let us substitute z˜1 into the ﬁrst equation of (5.1). If omitting the sign ∼ for simplicity we get x1 x1 9 m x1 , σ. = − m1 2 m 1 |x1 |3 |x1 |3 σ Then we subtract these equations one from another and have x1 x1 x2 9m x2 , σ. − = − m1 m2 2 |x1 |3 m1 |x2 |3 m2 or x1 m1

(5.3)

Let all vectors xi be collinear. Denote x2 = ρx1 , x3 = −(1 + ρ)x1 and substitute x2 , x3 into (5.3). We get x1 9m ρx1 9m (−1 − ρ)x1 9m 1− = 1− = 1− , m1 2s1 |x1 |3 m2 2s2 |x1 |3 m3 2s3 |x1 |3 where si = ±1 and the following quintic polynomials: s1 (m2 + m3 )ρ5 + s1 (3m2 + 2m3 )ρ4 + (s1 (3m2 + m3 ) − (s2 − s3 )m1 )ρ3 −(s2 (3m1 + m3 ) − (s1 − s3 )m2 )ρ2 − s2 (3m1 + 2m3 )ρ − s2 (m1 + m3 ) = 0. (5.4) Now let the vectors xi be non-collinear then |x1 |3 = |x2 |3 = |x3 |3 =

9m 2

and besides x1 + x2 + x3 = 0. The singular points of the foliation F are interesting because they enable us to ﬁnd the asymptotic behavior of three-body problem’s solution. Deﬁnition 5.2. α-singular points are the singular points π(˜ x0 , z˜0 ) of the foliation 0 0 F where (˜ x , z˜ ) is a root of the characteristic system with non-collinear vectors xi (5.2) . β-singular points are the singular points π(˜ x0 , z˜0 ) of the foliation F where 0 0 (˜ x , z˜ ) is a root of the characteristic system with collinear vectors xi (5.2).

Let (˜ x0 , z˜0 ) be a solution of the characteristic system (5.2). At the same time it is the singular point of the diﬀerential equation system (4.6). The linearization of the system (4.6) has the following form in the singular point: ⎧ 0 ˜˙ 1 = −2˜ x1 + 3 (m˜ z1 − m1 σ z˜1 ), σ ⎨x (5.5) x ˜ x ˜0 ⎩z˜˙1 = z˜1 − 3 01 3 + 9 01 5 (˜ x01 , x ˜1 ), σ. |˜ x1 | |˜ x1 |

6. The asymptotic behavior of α-singular points of the foliation F 3 Let us suppose that |˜ x01 |3 = |˜ x02 |3 = |˜ x01 |3 = 9m 2 = a then the linear system for the eigenvectors’ of left-hand side (5.5) ﬁnding has the following form: ⎧ ⎨(m2 + m3 )z1 − m1 (z2 + z3 ) = λ+2 x1 , σ 3 (6.1) 3 9 0 0 ⎩− x1 + (˜ x1 , x1 )˜ x1 = (λ − 1)z1 , σ. 3 5 a a

Theorem 6.1. The eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors of the linear system (6.1) are following: λ = 1. The eigenvectors u1 have the form: x1 = 0, z1 = m1 r, σ, r ∈ C3 . The dimension of the eigenspace is equal to 3. λ(λ + 1) = 0. The eigenvectors u0 , u−1 satisfy the conditions: 3x1 , σ. x1 ⊥˜ x01 , z1 = 3 a (1 − λ) The dimension of the eigenspaces for λ = 0 and λ = −1 is equal to 3. (λ + 3)(λ − 2) = 0. The eigenvectors u−3 , u2 have the form: x1 = ρ˜ x01 , z1 = ˜ z10 , σ, 2 = (λ+ 2)ρ. The dimension of the eigenspace for λ = −3 and λ = 2 is equal to 1. The remaining eigenvalues λk , k = 1, . . . , 4 are the roots of the equation (compare with §16, [6]) 27 λ(λ + 1)(λ + 3)(λ − 2) + 2 m1 m2 = 0. m σ The dimension of the eigenspaces for these λ is equal to 1. It is possible to select the eigenbasis from all the eigenvectors mentioned above. Proof. λ = 1. From the second equation of the system (6.1) we get the following presentation: 3 0 3 0 x1 = 2 (˜ x1 , x1 )˜ x01 = κ˜ x01 = 2 (˜ x1 , κ˜ x01 )˜ x01 = 3κ˜ x01 , σ a a We see that κ = 0, hence x1 = 0, σ. We ﬁnd the vectors zi from the ﬁrst equation of the system (6.1).

λ = 1. We substitute the presentation zi taken from the second equation the sys0 0 of0 tem (6.1) into the ﬁrst equation. And then we use the relations σ x ˜1 = σ x1 = 0. As a result we obtain the following system: ⎧ m(˜ x01 , x1 )˜ x01 + m1 ((˜ x02 , x1 + x2 ) + (˜ x01 , x2 ))˜ x01 + ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨m ((˜ 1 0 0 0 5 x2 , x1 ))˜ x2 = 27 a λ(λ + 1)x1 1 x1 , x1 + x2 ) + (˜ (6.2) 0 0 0 ⎪ m(˜ x2 , x2 )˜ x2 + m2 ((˜ x1 , x1 + x2 ) + (˜ x02 , x1 ))˜ x02 + ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ 1 m2 ((˜ x02 , x1 + x2 ) + (˜ x01 , x2 ))˜ x01 = 27 a5 λ(λ + 1)x2 λ = −1 or λ = 0. Let us multiply the ﬁrst and the second equations of the system (6.2) by m2 and m1 correspondingly and then subtract one from another. We get m2 x ˜01 (˜ x01 , x1 ) − m1 x ˜02 (˜ x02 , x2 ) = 0 ⇒ (˜ x01 ⊥ x1 ), σ. If +

Now let us ﬁnd the eigenvectors which have the following presentation: x1 = ρ˜ x01 , z1 = ˜ z10 , σ, ρ, ∈ C. Using the characteristic system (5.2) we obtain the next relations: + 2 = (λ + 2)ρ, 2ρ = (λ − 1), x03 , x3 ) = 0 = (˜ x01 + x˜02 , x1 + x2 ) = (˜

−3 x1 = (λ − 1)z1 , σ |˜ x01 |3

correspondingly. In either case xi = 0 and we get the presentation of the eigenvectors for eigenvalue λ = 1. V1 . Repeating the proof of the Theorem 6.1 let us ﬁnd the eigenvectors in such a form: x1 = ρ˜ x01 , z1 = ˜ z10 , σ. In this case we get the equation (λ + 3)(λ − 2) = 0. To ﬁnd the remaining roots λ we substitute zi from the second equation (6.1) into the ﬁrst one. At the same time we denote the product (λ − 1)(λ + 2) by μ, |˜ x0i | by ai and replace −x1 − x2 by x3 . We obtain the following system: + 1 3 3 a1 a3 μ)x1 + a31 m1 (a2 − a3 )(a22 + a2 a3 + a23 )x2 a32 (a33 m2 + a33 m3 + m1 a31 − 18 1 3 3 m2 a32 (a1 − a3 )(a21 + a1 a3 + a23 )x1 + a31 (m1 a33 + a33 m3 + m2 a32 − 18 a2 a3 μ)x2 The determinant of this system is the quadratic polynomial which is exactly divided in (λ + 3)(λ − 2) = (λ − 1)(λ + 2) − 4 = μ − 4. Therefore we write it in the following form: a31 a32 a33 (μ − 4)2 + (8a31 a32 a33 − 18 (m1 a31 a32 + m1 a31 a33 ))(μ − 4) + R1 (mi , ai ), σ

where R1 (mi , ai ) = 0. As a result we have m1 + m2 m1 + m2 = 0 or λ2 + λ + 2 − 18 = 0. μ + 4 − 18 3 a3 a33 σ σ V2 . Now let us pay attention to the fact that system (7.1) diﬀers a bit from the same one for the space V1 . That is why the eigenvectors for V2 in the form xi = ρ(0, ai , 0), zi = (0, bi , 0) and similar ones for V3 can be found. So we get the following system: + 2 = (λ + 2)ρ −ρ = (λ − 1) from which is followed that λ2 + λ = 0.

where μ = (λ − 1)(λ + 2). The calculation for the space V3 coincides exactly with the case V2 . Being equal to 15 the total dimension of the eigenspaces is equal to the dimension of the subspace C18 , which is determined by the condition x1 + x2 + x3 = 0. We can hardly ignore the surprising coincides of the properties of the eigenvectors of the α- and β-points. Theorem 7.2. The operators (6.1), (7.1), which linearize the diﬀerential equations (5.5) in the α- and β-points, have the following whole eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors for any masses mi . λ = 1. The eigenvectors u1 have the following form: x1 = 0, z1 = m1 r, σ, r ∈ C3 . λ(λ + 1) = 0 The eigenvectors u0 , u−1 satisfy the following conditions: x01 , z1 = x1 ⊥˜

(λ + 3)(λ − 2) = 0. The eigenvectors u1 have the following form: x01 , z1 = ˜ z10 , σ, x1 = ρ˜

Proof. The verity of the theorem follows from the Theorems 5.1 and 6.1.

8. The analytic properties of the solutions of three-body problem Let us suppose that the functions x1 (t), x2 (t) from the system (4.5) are known. x1 (t) dt, σ. Then x3 (t) = −x1 (t) − x2 (t), z1 (t) = |x1 (t)|3 If we know the functions w1 (t), w2 (t) we shall be able to ﬁnd x1 (t), x2 (t) as w1 (t) , σ. x1 (t) = |w1 (t)|2

to (4.5). Taking into consideration the facts mentioned above we can consider any collection x(t) = ((x1 (t), x2 (t)), w(t) = (w1 (t), w2 (t)), z(t) = (z1 (t), z2 (t)), σ, to be the solution of three-body problem. Theorem 8.1. All the singular but not essentially singular points of the solutions (x(t), w(t), z(t)) of three-body problem (5.1) have the asymptotic behavior (compare with 2.4.

where x ˜ , z˜ is the solution of the characteristic system (5.2), κ1 , κ2 , μk are free parameters, (ui , ui ) are the eigenvectors of the operators (6.1), (7.1), (vk , vk ) are the eigenvectors of the same operators for the eigenvalues λk > 0, k = 1, . . . , 4 (see Theorems 6.1, 7.1). All eigenvectors (ui , ui ), (vk , vk ) are found eﬃciently for the asymptotics of α-points. The eigenvectors (ui , ui ), (vk , vk ) of β-points may be found if the solutions of the polynomial (5.4) are known. The vectors ui , vk are expressed by (ui , ui ), (vk , vk ). Proof. Let the point t∗ be a singular point of the solution (w(t), z(t)) to threebody problem. By compactness of the manifold P 17 there exist the limit set of the ﬁber π(w(t), z(t)) for t → ∞. If this set is not a point, t∗ will be the essentially singular point because w(t), z(t) → ∞. In the opposite case we have the ﬁber π(w(t), z(t)) entering the singular point of the foliation F and we can obtain the asymptotics of the initial solution in the singular point t∗ . With all this going on, the linear operators of the systems (6.1), (7.1) are degenerated by the invariant action of the So(3) group. It causes the fact that the eigenvalue is equal to zero in the linear span of the orbit of x˜0 by So(3) action. The dimension of the orbit for α-point is equal to 3 and for β-point is equal to 2. Consequently the asymptotics of the α and β-singular points is induced by non-degenerate asymptotics with the help of So(3) action. In order to get the necessary asymptotics we consider the trajectories entering the singular points with λ > 0. The trajectories with λ < 0 correspond the series of the degrees of t−1/3 and give the asymptotics for t → ∞. As it may be seen from the Theorem above the asymptotics of the singular points (8.1) is not general.

Proposition 8.2. The little general perturbation of the solution with asymptotic behavior (8.1) has the essentially singular point. Proof. In fact, it is enough to prove that the little perturbation of the solution (8.1) has a singular point. Indeed if the initial solution had branching, then the perturbation of solution would also have it and then w(t), z(t) → ∞. If the initial solution was single-valued, the principle of maximum would be broken and then it would be also broken for the perturbation solution too. Thus the perturbation solution is unbounded, consequently the proposition is proved. Now we see that the solution of three-body problem of a general form has an essentially singular point. This result is veriﬁed by the next proposition. Proposition 8.3. Let m1 = 0 in three-body problem. Then the solution w1 (t) has the essentially singular point. Proof. In the case m1 = 0 three-body problem has the invariant subspace {x1 , z1 } where two-body problem is realized ([7]): ⎧ ⎨x˙1 = mz1 , x1 (8.2) , ⎩z˙1 = − 3 |x1 | We see that the singular point exists if |x1 | → 0. The problem (8.2) is two-dimensional. Let us denote the coordinates in the following way: x1 = (x11 , x12 ) and then x12 x11 = 0. ¨11 x12 − x11 x ¨12 = m x12 − x11 (x˙ 11 x12 − x11 x˙ 12 )˙ = x |x1 |3 |x1 |3 In the polar coordinates we have x˙ 11 x12 − x11 x˙ 12 = (r cos(ϕ))˙ r sin(ϕ) − r cos(ϕ)(r sin(ϕ))˙ = −r2 ϕ˙ = C. 1 2 In accordance with Theorem 4.1 H = m 2 z1 − |x1 | = we get x˙ 11 = r˙ cos(ϕ) − r ϕ˙ sin(ϕ),

The obtained system is integrable but in the same time its solutions r(t) = |x1 (t)| have the essentially singular point for r → 0. We see this, using Picard √ iterations to the function r(t) = 2Cit + · · · . We get the members tk ln(t)l , which describe the essentially singular point. Finally coming back to the variables w1 , w2 we get the necessary result. Essentially singular points cannot be described for each case with the help of some approximation. But for our problem the limit ﬁber of the compact manifold may characterize the asymptotics of the essentially singular point. Theorem 8.4. Let (w(t), z(t)) is the solution of three-body problem having the essentially singular point t∗ . Then the limit set X∗ = lim π(w(t), z(t)) determined by t→t∗ E this solution is contained in the set X0 X, where X0 = {π(w1 , w2 , w2 , z1 , z2 , z3 ) : ∃i |wi | = 0}, X = {η ∈ P∗17 : H(π −1 (η)) = 0, I1 (π −1 (η)) = 0, I2 (π −1 (η)) = 0} and H, I1 , I2 are the ﬁrst integrals of the system (4.5). Proof. The necessary and suﬃcient condition for (w, z) → X0 is

So we have considered all possible singular points of three-body problem’s solutions. Naturally there is a question if the solutions without singular points exist. The next theorem gives an answer. Theorem 8.5. (see [2]) There are no entire solutions of three-body problem. Proof. Let the solution (w(t), z(t)) be an arbitrary solution of the problem (5.1) and Y = π(w(t), z(t)) be a ﬁber of the foliation F . Assume that the solution (w(t), z(t)) has no singular points t∗ ∈ C. Then the leaf Y has no singular points, otherwise the leaf Y would have a singular point π(w˜0 , z˜0 ) and the solution (w(t), z(t)) would have singular α or β-points or would be bounded in inﬁnity, which is impossible for entire solution. Let y ∈ Y be an arbitrary point and π(w(t0 ), z(t0 )) = y, w(t0 ), z(t0 ) = max{ wi (t0 ) , zi (t0 ) } = 1. i

One can ﬁnd such a path γ ⊂ C that w(t1 ), z(t1 ) > 2. And what is more, there exists the neighbourhood U in P∗17 such as for all y´ ∈ U if π(w(t0 ), z(t0 )) = y´, w(t0 ), z(t0 ) = 1 then along γ we have w(t0 ), z(t0 ) > 2. Thus we have an open covering of the closure of Y and choose a ﬁnite sub-covering Ui . Let |t0i − t1i | < T for all i. Now let us construct a path Γ which contains the points t0 , t1 , . . . , tn , . . . where tk can be found from tk−1 in the same way as t1 was found by t0 . Then the points t0 , t1 , . . . , tn , . . . must be in the circle with the radius T + T2 + 2T2 + · · · = 2T and there exists the limit point t∗ ∈ C which must be a singular point.

On a Moment Problem on a Curve Connected with Ill-posed Boundary Value Problems for a PDE and Some Other Problems V.P. Burskii Abstract. This paper is devoted to a connection between ill-posed boundary value problems in a bounded domain for a PDE that isn’t proper elliptic and a new moment problem on a curve that is a generalization of well-known trigonometric moment problem. Some connections with another ﬁeld of mathematics are given in partial cases of the curve and the equation.

1. Introduction Let Ω be a bounded domain in the plain R2 with smooth boundary ∂Ω. Consider the following moment problem (the curve ∂Ω is parametrized by s, x(s) ∈ ∂Ω): α(s)(x(s) · a ˜j )N ds = μjN ; j = 1, 2; N = 0, 1, 2, . . . , (1) ∂Ω

where on two given vectors a ˜j ∈ C2 and for two sequences of numbers μjN it is found the function α. It is obviously that for the case when ∂Ω is the unit circle and vectors a ˜j , j = 1, 2 are equal a ˜1 = (1, i); a ˜2 = (1, −i) this moment problem turns to the well-known trigonometric moment problem because then (˜ aj · x(s))N = exp(±iN s). Among a lot of problems connected with above moment problem we will consider the problem of indeterminacy (nonuniqueness): for what curve ∂Ω and vectors a ˜j , j = 1, 2 there exists a function α such that α(s) (x(s) · a ˜j )N ds = 0. (2) ∀N ∈ Z+ , j = 1, 2, ∂Ω

We will read this equality also as the equality with arbitrary polynomial of one variable: ∀Q ∈ C[t], j = 1, 2, α(s) Q(x(s) · a ˜j )ds = 0. (3) ∂Ω

We will see that the problem (2) is close connected with boundary value problems for a partial diﬀerential equation in the domain Ω that we will write down in the form (a1 · ∇)(a2 · ∇) u = 0,

where aj = (aj1 , aj2 ), j = 1, 2 and a ˜j = (−¯ aj2 , a ¯j1 ), j = 1, 2 are unit complex vectors. The solution is assumed to be in a Sobolev space u ∈ H k (Ω), k ≥ 0. The equation (4) will be written also as a

where l(ξ) = (a1 · ξ)(a2 · ξ) is the symbol of the operator L, ν is a unit vector of normal, s is natural parameter on ∂Ω, k = ±|νs | is the curvature, more exactly νs = kτ where τ = (−ν2 , ν1 ) is the tangent vector. Let designate Δ = det (a1 a2 ) where a1 , a2 are columns. Take an arbitrary ¯ aj · x(s)), polynomial Q of one variable. Substitute the solutions u and v = Q(˜ (overline is complex conjugation for coeﬃcients of Q) of the equation (4) in the equality (8), we obtain zero in the left-side part. Below we will show that the rest with i = 1, 2 can be transformed to the equalities that are valid for any solution u of the equation (4): Δ ∀Q ∈ C[t], uν∗ + uτ Q(x(s) · a ˜1 ) ds = 0, (10) 2 ∂Ω Δ uν∗ − uτ Q(x(s) · a ˜2 ) ds = 0. 2 ∂Ω

In short words these formulae arise as follows. Write the Green formula as 2 1 (Lu · v¯ − u · L¯ v) dx = (a · ∇)u (a · ν)¯ v ds − (a2 · ν)u (a1 · ∇)¯ v ds. (12) Ω

Firstly, we have thrown over derivatives a · ∇ and then a2 · ∇. Now let us do it in reversed sequence, then we obtain (Lu · v¯ − u · L¯ v) dx = (a1 · ∇)u (a2 · ν)¯ v ds − (a1 · ν)u (a2 · ∇)¯ v ds. (13) 1

Adding formulae (12), (13) and comparing the result with (8) we can accept (a2 · ∇)u (a1 · ν) + (a2 · ν) (a1 · ∇)u = 2uν∗ . Besides note that on ∂Ω direct calculations give (a2 · ∇)u (a1 · ν) − (a2 · ν) (a1 · ∇)u = uτ Δ. ¯ a1 · x(s)) (with any polynomial Q) Substitute u that is a solution of (4) and v = Q(˜ 1 that is a solution of the equation (a ·∇)¯ v = 0 into (12), we obtain the equality (10) ¯ a2 · x(s)) with Q(x(s) · a ˜1 ) = v¯. It is analogical, substitute the same u and v = Q(˜ that is a solution of the equation (a2 · ∇)v = 0 into (13), we obtain the equality (11). We will see below that the conditions (12), (13) will be arisen also suﬃcient in some sort for existence of a solution of the problem (4), (6), (7). We see now that if the Dirichlet problem (4), (6) has a nontrivial solution u then uν∗ = 0 because otherwise both equalities (6) and (7) are fulﬁlled and the solution u ≡ 0 by virtue of equality (8) and surjectivity of maximal operator L+ (see condition (16) below). From what it follows that the equality (2) holds with α = uν∗ ≡ 0. The same can be done for the Neumann problem. It is valid inverse arguments (see below). They bring the following fact. Theorem 1. Let m ≥ k > 3 and let us have three sets of statements: 1m ) The homogeneous moment problem (2) has a nontrivial solution α ∈ H m−3/2 (∂Ω). 2k ) The Dirichlet problem (6) for the equation (4) has a nontrivial solution u ∈ H k (Ω). 3k ) The Neumann problem uν∗ |∂Ω = 0 for the equation (4) has a nonconstant solution u ∈ H k (Ω). Then 1m ) ⇒ 2m−q ); 1m ) ⇒ 3m−q ); 2m ) ⇒ 1m ); 3m ) ⇒ 1m ) q = 0 for elliptic equation (vectors a1 , a2 aren’t real), q = 1 + 0 for hyperbolic (unit vectors a1 , a2 are real and diﬀerent) and mixed equation (one of vectors a1 , a2 is real, another isn’t real), q = 2+0 for equation with K real symbol of kind l(ξ) = (a, ξ)2 . k+0 (By deﬁnition, for bounded domain H (Ω) = >0 H k+ (Ω), more accurately, it is the inductive limit of spaces with a corresponding topology.)

We have answers to above problem (2) in cases when the boundary is an ellipse or a bi-quadratic algebraic curve F (x, y) :=

i,k=0

It is proved to be that the answers in both cases (an ellipse or a bi-quadratic curve) can be written in the form: Θ ∈ Q where Q is the rational ﬁeld and Θ is a complex number which can be counted up by coeﬃcients of curve equation. It shows that the problem becomes ill-posed for real Θ and well-posed for nonreal one. Besides we give equivalences of above indeterminacy problem with real vectors aj to famous the Poncelet problem and the Pell-Abel equation for given polynomial of the third or fourth order. Both problems are famous problems that are connected with a lot of problems in analysis. The connections stated by theorem 1 arises as a corollary of a link form of solution traces u|∂Ω , uν∗ |∂Ω for the equation (4) therefore we start with the link form of traces of a solution.

For a case of the Laplace operator L = −Δ we have expressions L(0) u = u|∂Ω , L(1) u = −uν |∂Ω . The belonging u|∂Ω ∈ H −1/2 (∂Ω) for u ∈ D(−Δ) has been shown actually still by M.Yo. Vishik [11]. From [9] it is known that if the part of boundary ∂ Ω has no characteristic points, i.e., points of contact of real characteristic surfaces (as, for example, in an elliptic case), then usual traces (l) u|∂ Ω , uν |∂ Ω , . . . , uν l |∂ Ω exist for each solution from L2 (Ω) of the diﬀerential equation (15). Examples show that, generally speaking, usual traces of solutions from L2 (Ω) do not exist in distributions even for elementary equations. So, for the equation Lu = ∂ 2 u/∂x1 ∂x2 = 0 in the unit disk the solution 3u(x) = (1 − x21 )−5/8 belongs to L2 (K) but u|∂K , 1∂K = ∞ in sense that lim |x|=r u(x)dsx = ∞, r→1−0

so that the trace u|∂K is not a distribution. It is possible to show, however, that each solution u ∈ L2 (K) of such equation has a trace of the product L(0) u := −u(x)l(x)|∂K ∈ L2 (∂K) where l(x) = x1 x2 is the symbol of the operator. In just the same way not for all solutions there is a trace uν |∂K but for each solution u ∈ L2 (K) there is a trace L(1) u = l(x)uν (x) + lτ uτ + 1/2lττ u|∂K ∈ H −3/2 (∂K) where τ is angular coordinate. Similar reasonings can be carried out and in a general case. They are based on the following statement. Statement 1. For any pair functions w and ϕ from H m (Rn ) the following Green formula takes place: G(w, ϕ) := −L(θΩ w) − θΩ Lw, ϕRn =

elliptic equation of the second order the distributions fq = (−1)q ∂νq (μ · δ∂Ω ), μ ∈ D (∂Ω), acting according with the formula < fq , ϕ >Rn =< μ, ∂νq ϕ >∂Ω and taking place in the Green formula (18) are accepted to name for q = 0 a simple and for q = 1 a double layer on ∂Ω with density μ. The corresponding potential will arise by means of convolution fq ∗ E with a fundamental solution E if it exists there, of course. Let Jqm = Jm−q−1 : H m−q−1/2 (∂Ω) → H m (Rn ) be a continuous operator of continuation with the property ∂νp (Jqm ψ)|∂Ω = δqp · ψ, p, q = 0, 1, . . . , m − 1

(19)

For the case of bounded domain with smooth boundary one can easy build such operator of continuation by solving of polyharmonic equation Δm u = 0 with boundary data (19). We will substitute in (18) the function Jqm ψ instead of ϕ and instead of w-sequence wk ∈ H m (Rn ) converging to the solution u of the equations (15) in sense of norm of the graph w L2 (Ω) + Lw L2(Ω) . The left part of equality (18) 3 will tend to expression Ω (f · Jqm ψ − u · L+Jqm ψ) dx which is linear and continuous on ψ ∈ H m−q−1/2 (∂Ω). Obtained functional we will designate L(m−q−1) u. Distribution L(p) u we will name pth trace of the solution u on ∂Ω associated with the operator L, or simple pth L-trace of function u on ∂Ω and the distribution L∂Ω w from (18) will name L-boundary distribution. We obtain the following ˜ of the operator L ˜ there Statement 2. For each element u from the domain D(L) exist L-traces L(k) u ∈ H −k−1/2 (∂Ω), k = 0, 1, . . . , m − 1 such that for each se˜ to the element u the sequence L(k) wj ∈ quence wj ∈ H m (Ω) converging in D(L) m−k −k−1/2 H (∂Ω) converges in space H (∂Ω) to an element L(k) u continuously depending on u and independent of a choice of sequence wj . For a case of the diﬀerential operator L the existence of the associated traces ˜ is shown in [2], se also [4]. So, we see that in distributions for functions from D(L) L-traces of function from a domain D(L) of the maximal operator exist there and L(m−q−1) u ∈ H −m+q+1/2 (∂Ω), q = 0, 1, . . . , m − 1 if the space H m (Ω) is dense in D(L), i.e., if the conditions (17) are fulﬁlled. The main property of L-traces is that all of them are equal to zero under conditions of density of smooth functions in D(L) and D(L+ ) if and only if they are L-traces of function from the domain of the minimal operator D(L0 ) that is visible from the formula (18) expanded on the domains of maximal L+ and minimal L0 operators. More exactly, Statement 3. In order to an element u ∈ D(L) belong to the space D(L0 ) it is necessary and under conditions (17) it is suﬃcient that it has trivial L-traces L(k) u = 0, k = 0, 1, . . . , l − 1. The second impotent property of L-traces is the following Statement 4. Let smooth functions be dense in spaces D(L) and D(L+ ) and the operator L0 is normally solvable, i.e., Im L0 is closed in H. In order to a set u0 , u1 , . . . , um−1 of L-traces be a set L-traces of the solution u of the equations Lu = 0 it is necessary and suﬃcient that for each sequence vk ∈ H m (Rn ) converging in norm v L2 (Ω) + L+ v L2 (Ω) to some solution of the equation L+ v = 0 the

following condition takes place: lim

This property can easy be proved directly from the Green formula (18). For the operator L with constant coeﬃcients, the symbol l(ξ) of which can be factored in a product of diﬀerent irreducible polynomials, in a convex domain exponential solutions are dense in the kernel of maximal operator ([12]) therefore the condition (20) (necessary and suﬃcient condition of belonging u ∈ ker L) can be written in the form (note that normal solvability of the minimal operator L0 is a corollary of the H¨ormander’s estimate ∃C > 0, ∀φ ∈ C0∞ (Ω), Lφ H ≥ C φ H ) m−1 ¯ = {ξ ∈ Cn | ¯l(ξ) = 0}, L(m−q−1) u ∂νq e−i ξ· x dx = 0.

Note more that for the equation of the second order with homogeneous Dirichlet data L(0) u = 0 we obtain a necessary condition of nontrivial solvability of the Dirichlet problem in view ∃α ∈ H −3/2 (∂Ω), ∀ ξ ∈ Λ, α(x) e−i ξ· x dx = 0 (22) ∂Ω

which will be suﬃcient for enough smooth α. For the case of homogeneous symbol the last condition can understand as a problem of integral geometry ([4]).

3. Problem of indeterminacy of the moment problem (1) Let us consider now the condition (21) for the equation (4). In this case the symbol is l(ξ) = (a1 ·ξ)(a2 ·ξ), the variety Λ = Λ1 ∪Λ2 , Λi = {t˜ ai | t ∈ C}. In the beginning, consider the Cauchy problem u|∂Ω = ψ, uν |∂Ω = χ

for the equation (4) in a bounded domain that is convex with respect to real characteristics (i.e., in particular without restrictions on convexity if the equation is elliptic). Statement 5. In order that a function u ∈ H m (Ω), m > 3/2 be a solution of the problem (23) it is necessary that functions P = −l(ν(x))ψ(x) ∈ H m−1/2 (∂Ω), C = l(ν(x))χ(x) + b (ν12 − ν22 ) − 2(a − c)ν1 ν2 ψτ + k (a − c)(ν12 − ν22 ) − 2b ν1 ν2 ψ ∈ H m−3/2 (∂Ω) satisfy the condition ∀ξ ∈ Λ, [P (x(s))(−i ξ · ν(s)) + C(x(s))] exp(−i ξ · x(s))ds = 0, ∂Ω

where s is the natural parameter growing in a direction of the vector τ = (−ν2 , ν1 ), d d ds = dτ ∂Ω , k = −|νs | = −|τs | is curvature of the curve ∂Ω. The proof will be clear from above when one checks equalities P = L(0) u, C = L(1) u. Statement 6. In order that a function u ∈ H m (Ω), m ≥ 2 be a solution of the problem (23) it is suﬃcient that functions (24), (25) satisfy the condition (26) and belong to the spaces P ∈ H m−1/2+q (∂Ω), C ∈ H m−3/2+q (∂Ω)

where q = 0 for elliptic equation (vectors a1 , a2 aren’t real), q = 1+0 for hyperbolic (unit vectors a1 , a2 are real and diﬀerent) and mixed equation (one of vectors a1 , a2 is real, another isn’t real), q = 2 + 0 for equation with real symbol of kind l(ξ) = (a, ξ)2 . Correspondence: [H m−1/2+q (∂Ω) × H m−3/2+q (∂Ω) with property (26) ] (ψ, χ) → (P, C) → u ∈ H m (Ω) is continuous. The fact that there exists any solution u from the kernel kerL ⊂ D(L) and with given smooth traces ψ, χ that are under the condition (26), follows from above. But the smooth solvability (P, C) → (ψ, χ) and raising of smoothness of u needs an additional reasonings that are more diﬃcult (see [3], [4]). Let us write down the condition (26) in a little another form. In the ﬁrst place, we substitute ξ = tai , i = 1, 2 in the formula (26) and take the Taylorseries expansion of the exponential. All powers of t must be zero and we obtain the condition (26) in the view ∀Q ∈ C[z], j = 1, 2, P (x)(˜ aj · ν) Q (x · a ˜j ) + C(x) Q(x · a ˜j ) ds = 0. (28) ∂Ω

It is obviously that the inverse reasoning is valid also. Further, one can understand ¯ aj · x). this last integral as the integral in the right part of equality (18) at v = Q(˜ For our equation this right part of equality (18) can be written as the right part of equality (8). Then we take the 3 Green formula for our operator in the form (8) and count up the second term ∂Ω u v ν ∗ ds. ∂ 1 u Q(x · a ˜ ) ds = (a1 · ν)(a2 · ν)(ν · a ˜1 )u(x(s)) Q (x · a ˜1 )ds ∂ν∗ ∂Ω ∂Ω : d 1 [l(ν(s))]s u(x(s)) Q(x(s) · a + ˜1 )ds 2k ∂Ω ds : d 1 2 1 =− (a · ν)(ν · a [l(ν(s))]s u(x) Q(x · a ˜1 )ds. ˜ )− 2k ∂Ω ds Here it is used that ∂ Q(x · a ˜1 ) = Q (x · a ˜1 )(τ · a ˜1 ) = (a1 · ν) Q (x · a ˜1 ). ∂s

Thus, the condition (28) is equivalent to the pair of conditions: (10) and (11). Thus, the following theorem is proved. Theorem 2. The pair of conditions (10), (11) is equivalent to the condition (26). Consider a problem uτ |∂Ω = γ,

From statements 5, 6 we obtain validity of the following statements 7, 8. Statement 7. In order to a function u ∈ H m (Ω), m > 3/2 be a solution of the problem (29) for the equation (4) it is necessary that functions 1 γ = us (x), κ = l(ν)uν − [l(ν(s))]s · us ∈∈ H m−3/2 (∂Ω), (30) 2k satisfy the conditions (10) and (11). Statement 8. In order to a function u ∈ H m (Ω), m > 2 be a solution of the problem (29) for the equation (4) it is suﬃcient that its traces γ, κ from (30) satisfy the conditions (10), (11) and belong to the space H m−1/2+q (∂Ω), where q = 0 for elliptic equation (vectors a1 , a2 are not real), q = 1 + 0 for hyperbolic (unit vectors a1 , a2 are real and diﬀerent) and mixed equation (one of vectors a1 , a2 is real, another isn’t real), q = 2 + 0 for equation with real symbol of kind l(ξ) = (a, ξ)2 . Such solution u is unique to within an additive constant. Correspondence: [H m−3/2+q (∂Ω) × H m−3/2+q (∂Ω) with properties (10), (11) ] (γ, κ) → u ∈ H m (Ω)/{const} is continuous. Now we can give a proof of Theorem 1 from the introduction. Proof. 1) ⇒ 2). Using pair γ = 0, κ = 2α/Δ we build the solution u ∈ H m−q (∂Ω) by means of the statement 8. 2) ⇒ 1). We have κ = 0 by applying the statement 8. Then we put α = κ. The implications 1) ⇒ 3) and 3) ⇒ 1) are similar.

4. Solving of indeterminacy problem for the moment problem in some algebraic curves and connected topics Let λ1 , λ2 be roots of the equation l(1, λ) = 0. Let us enter (complex) angles of inclinations of characteristics. Any solution ϕ1 of the equation tgϕ1 = −λ1 = ±i will be named an angle of inclination of the characteristic direction corresponding to the root λ1 . Restriction −λ = ±i is connected to that the equation tgϕ = ±i has no any solution in C, in this case we will speak that the characteristic direction has no angle of inclination. Similarly, we determine an angle ϕ2 through the root λ2 as tgϕ2 = −λ2 = ±i and then an angle ϕ0 := ϕ1 − ϕ2 . It is easy to see that sin ϕ0 = det(a1 a2 ) = Δ where a1 , a2 are columns and tg2 ϕ0 = (b2 −4ac)/(a+c)2 = [(λ1 − λ2 )/(1 + λ1 λ2 )]2 . If vectors a1 , a2 are normalized by unit (|aj | = 1) we will aj2 = − cos ϕj , a ˜j2 = a ¯j1 = sin ϕj . suppose that a ˜j1 = −¯ Consider a case of the disk Ω = K = {x ∈ R2 |x2 < 1}. In this case we have ν(x) = x, x · a ˜j = − cos(τ + ϕj ), x = (cos τ, sin τ ), τ = s is angular coordinate. Designate through T˜n , Qn the Chebyshev polynomials: T˜n (cos α) = cos nα, Qn−1 (cos α) = sin nα/ sin α and also we enter functions Tn (τ ) = T˜n (cos(τ + ϕ1 ))/ An = cos n(τ + ϕ1 )/ An = ˜1 )/ An (n > 0), T0 = √12π , Un = (x · a ˜1 )τ · Qn−1 (−x · a ˜1 )/An = T˜n (−x · a sin n(τ + ϕ1 )/An where 2π

It is easy to see that system of functions {Tn (τ ), Un (τ )}∞ n=0 is orthonormalized in L2 (∂K) and total and orthogonal in0each space H l (∂K) because the same is ∞ system sin nτ }, moreover, f = n=0 (fn Tn + gn Un ) ∈ H l (∂K) if and only 0 {cos 2nτ, l 2 2 if n (1 + n ) (|fn | + |gn | ) < ∞. Let us substitute in the condition (3) expansion of the function ∞ # $ 1 α(τ ) = αT0 + αTn Tn (τ ) + αU U (τ ) n n 2 n=0 and in the capacity of the polynomial Q we will take the Chebyshev polynomial Q(t) = T˜n (−t). Then condition (3) will be written down as αTk = 0, (j = 1);

Theorem 3. For λj = ±i, j = 1, 2, λ1 = λ2 the problem (3) has only trivial solution in each space H m (K), m > 2 if and only if the number ϕ0 /π is irrational. Under the condition ϕ0 /π ∈ Q (31) m in each space H (K) the homogeneous problem (3) has inﬁnite number of linearly independent solutions. Below we will consider more complicate domain Ω that the circle or the ellipse, namely, domains which boundary is a biquadratic curve C = ∂Ω with equation: 2 F (x, y) := aik xi y k = a22 x2 y 2 + a21 x2 y + · · · = 0. (32) i,k=0

We will need the following John mapping. Let Ω be arbitrary bounded domain, which is convex with respect to characteristic directions, i.e., it has the boundary C intersected in at most two points by each straight line that is parallel to x- or y-axes. We start from arbitrary point M1 on C and consider a vertical line passing through M1 . Obviously, there are two points of intersection with the curve C: M1 and some M2 , which may be coincided with M1 . We denote I1 an involution which transform M1 into M2 . Then, starting from M2 , we consider a horizontal line passing through M2 . Let M3 be the second point of intersection with the curve C. Let I2 be corresponding involution: I2 M2 = M3 . We then repeat this process, applying step-by-step involutions I1 and I2 . Denote T = I2 I1 , T −1 = I1 I2 . This transformation T : C → C gives us a discrete dynamical system on C, i.e., an action of group Z and each point M ∈ C generates an orbit {T nM |n ∈ Z}. This orbit can be ﬁnite or denumerable set. The point M with ﬁnite orbit is called a periodic point and smallest n, for which T n M = M , is called a period of the point M . In the paper by John the uniqueness breakdown in the problem have studied in connection with topological properties of the mapping T for the case of even mapping T . The mapping T is called to be even or preserving an orientation if each positive oriented arc (P, Q) with points P, Q ∈ C transforms into positive oriented arc (T P, T Q). Fritz John have proved several useful assertions for even T , among of which we extract the following one. Suﬃcient condition of uniqueness. The homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the string equation in the bounded domain has only a trivial solution in the space C 2 (Ω) if the set of periodic points on C is ﬁnite or denumerable. Below we give several problem settings from diﬀerent areas of mathematics, each of them proves to be equivalent to each of above given in a domain with a biquadratic boundary. First three of them were noted above. 1) Existence of a nontrivial solution of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem. 2) Existence of a nonconstant solution of the homogeneous Neumann problem. 3) Existence of a nontrivial solution of the homogeneous generalized trigonometrical moment problem.

4) Integration by elementary functions: Let us consider the problem (N.H. Abel, 1826): for what polynomial R(t) of degree 2m and of one variable t exist there polynomials ρ(t), P (t), Q(t) such that √ ρ P + RQ √ dt = A ln √ + C. (33) R P − RQ Later Liouville, Golubev and others have proved that if the primitive from left-side part of this equality is an elementary function (i.e., composition of polynomials, exponents, roots, trigonometric functions) then it must be a function from the right-side part. Abel proved two criteria for this problem: Statement 9. The equality (33) holds if and only if the expansion in a continuous fraction √ 1 R = r0 (t) + 1 r1 (t) + r2 (t)+··· is periodic, that is ∃N, ∀k > k0 , rk = rk+N . Statement 10. The equality (33) holds if and only if the algebraic Pell-Abel equation P 2 (t) + R(t)Q2 (t) = 1

(34)

is solvable. Here for given polynomial R of even order one should ﬁnd polynomials P, Q such that the equality (34) is valid, then ρ = 2P /Q. Below we will deal with the case m = 2, ord R = 4. Thus we have also the setting of 5) Problem of solvability of Pell-Abel equation. As it was shown in a works by Sodin-Yuditskii [10] the last setting is equivalent to the following: 6) Problem of maximal set with least deviation by Chebyshev-Akhiezer. Consider the Chebyshev problem of ﬁnding a polynomial of least deviation on a l−1 K closed set in the real axe. Let I = [−1, 1]\ (aj , bj ) − a system of l closed intervals j=1

and one should ﬁnd a polynomial of a given order n with leading coeﬃcient 1 which gives a least deviation on the set I, i.e., to ﬁnd a minimum of the functional tn − Pn−1 (t) C(I) → min . The general polynomial Pn−1 (t) is running a ﬁnite-dimensional subspace and we deal with a problem of functional minimization on the nonreﬂexive Banach space. In 30 years of XX century A. Markov and A. Borel, based on Chebyshev ideas, proved that such polynomial P exist there on each set I. But if the polynomial P is minimal on I then, possible, it will be minimal on a more large set I˜ which is an expansion of I. Such maximal among of I˜ a set E =

(35)

where the constant L is unknown also, is equivalent to that the set E is n-correct. In addition, the polynomial P gives us a solution of extremal problem and the number L is the minimal deviation. 7) Spectrum of inﬁnite Jacoby matrix (see references in work [10]). It is interesting that the set E is a continuous spectrum of some inﬁnite selfadjoint real Jacoby (three-diagonal) matrix in the space l2 if and only if the set E is ncorrect set, that is if and only if the equation (35) is solvable. For our aims the case of two intervals (the Akhiezer problem) is appropriated. A connection of the problem (35) with boundary value problems is realized by means of the Poncelet problem. 8) Setting of the Poncelet problem. Recall the Poncelet problem for the case of two ellipses, for simplicity and as it was introduced by Jean-Victor Poncelet himself. We take two arbitrary ellipses A and B, A inside B in the plane R2 of variables ξ, η. Let us have an arbitrary point Q1 on the ellipse A and pass a tangent straight line to A at the point Q1 . This tangent crosses the ellipse B at two points P1 and P2 , P1 before P2 with respect to a standard orientation. Then we take the point P2 on B and pass the second tangent to the ellipse A. We denote as Q2 the point on A where this tangent contacts with A. This tangent meets the ellipse B in two points P2 and P3 . Take the point P3 and repeat this procedure. Then we obtain a mapping UB : B → B which acts by the rule UB : Pk → Pk+1 that will be called the Poncelet mappings below. The point P1 will be named a periodic point and of a period N if PN +1 = UBN P1 = P1 and N is minimal with this property. The big Poncelet theorem says: if there is a periodic point P then each point is periodic with the same period. This construction is projective so that in general we may build it for a pair of conics (conic sections). For any conic A it is possible to ﬁnd polynomials E0 (x), E1 (x), E2 (x) with 1 (x) 2 (x) deg(Ei (x)) ≤ 2 such that ξ = E η= E E0 (x) , E0 (x) . Quite analogously, the conic B 1 (y) 2 (y) can be parametrized as ξ = G η= G G0 (y) , G0 (y) , where Gi (y) are some other polynomials of most degrees 2. Our observations (in coauthorship with A.S. Zhedanov, see our common work [5]) shows that in the plane of variables x, y the Poncelet mapping UB turn into the John mapping on a biquadratic curve (C) which is given by conics A and B.

286

V.P. Burskii This gives us the following

Theorem 4. A given the Poncelet problem is periodic if and only if the John mapping for corresponding biquadratic curve is periodic. Conversely, any generic biquadratic curve generated a projective class of a conics pair and we obtain. Theorem 5. For generic biquadratic curve the Dirichlet problem has non-unique solution if and only if corresponding John mapping has a periodic trajectory and if and only if corresponding Poncelet problem has a periodic trajectory. Note that for the case of bounded domain with a biquadratic boundary we have proved that John’s suﬃcient uniqueness condition is also necessary, moreover, it will be so even for cases when the curve C is unbounded but then we should change the setting of the problem. Namely, along with the usual setting of the uniqueness property: The examined bounded domain such that the homogeneous Dirichlet problem (1) has only trivial solution in the space C 2 (Ω) for cases when the curve C is unbounded we examine the following modiﬁcation of uniqueness property for the homogeneous Dirichlet problem The examined curve C is such that each analytic in real sense solution in R2 of the string equation with the property u|C = 0 is only zero solution. Note, the assumption “analytic” is introduced in order that we can consider such curves C for them there exist characteristic lines which are not intersect C and are between of curve branches, because without this assumption for such curve and, e.g., with an assumption of inﬁnite smoothness one may build a simple example of a smooth nontrivial solution of the problem in sense (1). The Poncelet porism in form of two circles Let a circle A lies inside another circle B. From any point on B, draw a tangent to A and extend it to B. From the point, draw another tangent, etc. For n tangents, the result is called an n-sided Poncelet transverse. This Poncelet transverse can be closed for one point of origin, i.e., there exists one circuminscribed (simultaneously inscribed in the outer and circumscribed on the inner) n-gon. We could begin with a polygon that is understood as the union of a set of straight lines sequentially joint a given cyclic sequence of points (vertices) on the plane. If there exist two circles, inscribed and circumscribed for this polygon, then this polygon is called a bicentric polygon. Note that sides of the polygon can intersect and the intersection point is not obligatory to be a vertex. Furthermore, the inscribed circle does not obligatory touch a segment between vertices, the contact point can lie on extension of the side and therefore the circles can intersect. Bicentric polygons are popular objects of investigations in geometry. This is most known form of the Poncelet porism. If we denote by r the radius of the inscribed circle, by R the radius of the circumscribed circle and by d a distance between the circumcenter and incenter for a bicentric polygon then these three numbers can not be arbitrary and together with n they satisfy some relations. So, for the case of triangle the relation is sometimes known

So, for a triangle above the Euler formula has the view: a + b = c, for a bicentric quadrilateral, the radii and distance are connected by the equation a2 + b2 = c2 . The relationship for a bicentric pentagon is 4(a3 + b3 + c3 ) = (a + b + c)3 . In a general case one introduces numbers λ=1+

and then the relationship can be written by means of elliptic functions in the form √ √ c b 2 − a2 + b c2 − a2 K ,k = sc n a(b + c) (Richelot (1830) – the ﬁrst edition of the criterion, Kerawala (1947) – the above criterion). The connection with the Pell-Abel equation comes from the well-known Cayley criterion for the Poncelet problem. Recall that the Cayley criterion can be formulated as follows. Let f (λ) = det(A − λB) be a characteristic determinant for the one-parameter pencil of conics A and B presented in the projective form. In more details, assume that the conic A has an aﬃne equation φA (x, y) = 0. We then pass to the projective co-ordinates ξ: x = ξ1 /ξ0 , y = ξ2 /ξ0 and present the equation of the conic A in the form 2

i,k=0

with some 3 × 3-matrix A. Similarly, the projective equation for the conic B has the form 2 Bik ξi ξk = 0 i,k=0

with some 3 × 3-matrix B. Then we deﬁne the polynomial f (λ) = det(A − λB) of the third degree. Note that f (λ) is a characteristic polynomial for the generalized eigenvalue problem for two matrices A, B. Calculate the Taylor expansion

p = 1, 2, 3, . . .

Then the Cayley criterion is: the trajectory of the Poncelet problem is pe(1) (2) riodic with the period N if and only if Hp = 0 for N = 2p, and Hp = 0 for N = 2p + 1. Moreover, we have done the following observation: the Cayley condition coincides with a solvability criterion of the Pell-Abel equation by V.A. Malyshev [8]. A2 (λ) + f˜(λ)B 2 (λ) = 1 with deg f˜ = 4, f (0) = 0, (for details concerning solvability of the Pell-Abel equation and its relations with other problems of mathematics see, e.g., papers by Malyshev) if one takes f (x) = x4 f˜(x−1 ). We have the following proposition: Theorem 6. ([5]) The Poncelet problem is periodic with an even period iﬀ corresponding the Pell-Abel equation is solvable. Methods are based on the theory of elliptic functions. Such functions are generated by the biquadratic curve from the Dirichlet problem, to which each of above problem can be reduced. The John mapping of the Dirichlet problem acts on a biquadratic curve generated of the Poncelet problem for two conics which are built by data of the Pell-Abel equation. This biquadratic curve, possible after a projective transformation of the plane, may be parametized by an elliptic function φ(z) of the second order: x = φ(z), y = φ(z + η). Then the John mapping on the complex biquadratic curve of the complex space C2 (that is a Riemann surface of a genus 1, i.e., a torus) may be given as a shift z → z +2η. Because the periods ω1 , ω2 of the elliptic function φ (as η also) are counted up by data of the corresponding biquadratic curve then we obtain our periodicity criterion of the John mapping in the view: 2ηN = m1 ω1 + m2 ω2 (9) with some integer N, m1 , m2 . Further we have done an analysis on reality of the functions that gives us a criterion for each of the problems in the form: θ m = ∈Q (37) 2K n where the number θ is counted up by data of the corresponding problem as, for instance, the number K may be counted up by the formula (36). We see that this

criterion is similar to the criterion (31) of uniqueness breakdown for the Dirichlet problem in an ellipse. Note that a part of these results and references one can ﬁnd in the works: [4], [5], [6]. Along of above writing problems there are other problems that allows their investigation by means of this approach.

The Construction and Analysis of a Posteriori Error Estimators for Piezoelectricity Stationary Problems Fedir Chaban and Heorgiy Shynkarenko Abstract. This paper considers the building of a posteriori error estimator for ﬁnite element method approximation of piezoelectricity boundary problem. The construction of the estimator is based on the error problem and properties of bubble-functions. The eﬃciency and reliability of estimator is illustrated by numeric results of solved model problems. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 65N30; Secondary 65N15. Keywords. Finite element method (FEM), piezoelectricity problem, a posteriori error estimator (AEE).

1. Introduction The important feature of modern numeric schemes, which are used for solving boundary problems, is a possibility to receive a posteriori error estimation for obtained solutions. In most cases this possibility is realized via construction of a posteriori error estimator. Constructed AEEs are indicators of reliability and eﬃciency of the developed scheme. In case of a solution search with help of FEM, constructed AEE can be used to improve obtained solutions (h-adaptive schemes and post processor reﬁnement schemes.) The examples of eﬃcient AEE application are described in [2, 5, 8, 10]. The paper contains an analysis of error functional and a deﬁnition of the variational problem on Galerkin’s discretization error for stationary piezoelectricity problems. Bubble approximation of Galerkin’s discretization error was constructed for detection of AEE. Solutions of experimental problems, where a shank made of piezoelectric PZT-4 was used as a model, prove eﬃciency of a proposed This work was completed with the support of department of information systems of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv.

In general in a three-dimensional problem there are 18 piezoelectric constants ekij , 21 elastic coeﬃcients aijkm and 6 dielectric susceptibility constants gkm . As far as a polar tensor disappears in centrosymmetrical crystals, a piezoelectric eﬀect does not appear in them. 2.2.

In order to simplify notations on Cartesian space product of admissible functions Φ := V × Q let’s deﬁne the bilinear form s(ψ, φ) := c(u, v) − e(p, v) + g(p, q) + e(q, u) ∀ψ = {u, p}, φ = {v, q} ∈ Φ

and linear functional χ, φ := ls , v + le , q ∀φ = {v, q} ∈ Φ.

Then variational problem of piezoelectricity(2.5) will be written in a state of common variational equation: + ﬁnd a pair ψ = {u, p} ∈ Φ such that (2.11) s(ψ, φ) = χ, φ ∀φ = {v, q} ∈ Φ. 2.4. Minimax problem Now the attention is paid to speciﬁc property of variational structure of piezoelectricity equations. For this purpose, let us deﬁne quadratic functional (of Lagrange) on space Φ := V × Q L(v, q) := 12 {c(v, v) − g(q, q)} − e(q, v) − ls , v + le , q ∀φ = {v, q} ∈ Φ and examine the following variational minimax problem: + ﬁnd a pair ψ = {u, p} ∈ Φ such that L(u, q) ≤ L(u, p) ≤ L(v, p) ∀φ = {v, q} ∈ Φ. The above-formulated problem is characterized by

Theorem 2.2. About saddle point of Lagrangian functional. The problem of variational equations of piezoelectricity (2.5) is equivalent to minimax problem (2.13). In addition, each of their solutions ψ = {u, p} ∈ Φ is such, that 1 L(u, p) = {g(p, p) − c(u, u)} + e(p, u). (2.14) 2 Proof. Let a pair ψ = {u, p} be a solution of minimax problem (2.13) in space Φ; then for any ∈ R we make the following expansion L(u + v, p + q) = L(u, p) +{[c(u, v) − e(p, v) − ls , v] − [g(p, q) + e(q, u) − le , q]} + 12 2 {c(v, v) − g(q, q) − 2e(q, v)}

(2.15)

∀φ = {v, q} ∈ Φ. Taking into account ellipticity of bilinear forms c(· , · ) and g(· , · ), we accept q = 0 (correspondingly v = 0) in expansion (2.15). 2.5. Correctness of variational formulation of piezoelectric eﬀect problem We should remember that piezoelectricity problem (2.5) can be written in a terms of variational equation + ﬁnd a pair ψ = {u, p} ∈ Φ such that (2.16) s(ψ, φ) = χ, φ ∀φ = {v, q} ∈ Φ.

and also the conditions of symmetry and ellipticity (2.1), (2.2) and (2.3). Then: (!) bilinear forms c( · , · ) : V × V → R and g( · , · ) : Q × Q → R create scalar product on admissible function spaces V and Q correspondingly, and, as a corollary of that, new norms (energy) +

2.6. Abstract Galerkin’s scheme For all values of discretization parameter h > 0 let us deﬁne Galerkin’s approximation ψh = {uh , ph } in subspace Φh := Vh × Qh ∈ Φ as a solution of the following problem ⎧ approximation spaces Vh ⊂ V, dim Vh < +∞ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ and Qh ⊂ Q, dim Qh < +∞ are deﬁned; ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ﬁnd a pair {uh , ph } ∈ Vh × Qh such that (2.22) ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ a(uh , v) − e(ph , v) = ls , v ∀v ∈ Vh , ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ e(q, uh ) + g(ph , q) = le , q ∀q ∈ Qh . Let us assume, that the series of linear independent functions + v1 (x), . . . , vN (x) of admissible deformation space V, (2.23) q1 (x), . . . , qM (x) of admissible potential space space Q is selected as a system of base function of approximation spaces Vh and Qh correspondingly. In addition, it means, that Galerkin’s approximation ψh = {uh , ph } is retrieved as a linear combination + 0N uh (x) := j=1 uj qj (x) ∈ Vh , (2.24) 0M ph (x) := m=1 pm qm (x) ∈ Qh with unknown coeﬃcients U = (u1 , . . . , uN ) i P = (p1 , . . . , pM ).

3. Galerkin’s discretization error problem 3.1. Analysis of error functional In addition to energy norm | · |Φ from (2.21) let us provide admissible deformation space Φ with 3 a standard norm φ Φ := { [φ.φ + φi,j φi,j ]dx}1/2 = Ω 3 { [v.v + vi,j vi,j + q.q + qi,j qi,j ]dx}1/2 ∀φ ∈ Φ Ω

Proposition 3.1. About error functional. Let ψ ∈ Φ be a solution of a problem (2.11). For all ﬁxed w ∈ Φ let us deﬁne linear functional (error source) according to the following rule φ ∈ Φ → ρ(w), φ := χ, φ − s(w, φ) ∈ R

Then the following statements are correct α ψ − w Φ ≤ ρ(w) ∗ ≤ s ψ − w ∀ ∈ Φ,

(3.2)

where α = const > 0 which s(φ, φ) ≥ α φ 2Φ ∀φ ∈ Φ. | ρ(w), φ | |φ|Φ 0=φ∈Φ

(3.3) ∀w ∈ Φ.

(3.4)

Proof. From the deﬁnition (3.2) and the problem (2.11) we get ρ(w), v = χ, φ − s(w, φ) = s(ψ − w, φ) ∀φ, w ∈ V.

(3.5)

From the previous statement, we can directly calculate |ρ(w), v| ≤ s ψ − w Φ φ Φ and ρ(w) ∗ ≤ s ψ − w Φ

(3.6)

Next, take into account that φ = ψ − w, from inequality (3.5) we get, that α ψ − w 2Φ ≤ s(ψ − w, ψ − w) = ρ(w), ψ − w ≤ ρ(w) ∗ ψ − w Φ ∀w ∈ Φ, (3.7) that with the (3.6) gives us the bidirectional estimate of functional ρ(w) norm in Φ in a terms of standard norm of space Φ. At last, we replace norm · Φ with energy norm | · |Φ in our estimations (3.6) and (3.7) and get desired equality (3.4). For the purpose of mesh adaptation in FEM, the following corollary is important. Corollary 3.2. About error functional decomposition. Let τh = {K} be any regular triangulation of region Ω and hk := diam K, h := max hk , which we used to build approximation space Φh ⊂ Φ of FEM scheme. K∈τh

Then, error functional (3.1) allows the following decomposition 0 3 ρ(w), ϕ = {[ρf + divσ (w)] .v + [ρ∗ + divD (w)] .q} dx −

Now take into account and apply equilibrium equation and electric ﬁeld equation of boundary piezoelectricity problem and continuity of function vi σij (u)nj and qk Dk (w)nk in a case of transition thought the combined border of the adjacent ﬁnite elements. As a result of appropriative simpliﬁcation we get declared decomposition (3.8) of error functional. Let’s characterize connection between functional (3.1) and Galerkin’s discretization error. Corollary 3.3. About Galerkin’s discretization errors functional structure. Let conditions of proposition (3.1) and corollary (3.2) be fulﬁlled and ψh ∈ Φh – Galerkin’s approximation, which was obtained as a solution of problem (2.11). Then the following statements are correct ρ(ψh ), φ = 0 ∀φ ∈ Φh

(3.10)

ρ(ψh ), φ = s(e, φ) ∀φ ∈ E := Φ\Φh , E = E u × E p ,

(3.11)

|e|Φ = |ψ − ψh | = |ρ(ψh )|∗ ∀h > 0.

(3.12)

Proof. This corollary can be directly proved using calculation based on (3.5) with w = ψh . 3.2. Variational problem for Galerkin’s discretization error The results, provided above, characterize Galerkin’s discretization error e = ψ−ψh from the position of functional ρ(ψh ), deﬁned in (3.1). In particular, now we are able to formulate variational problem about ﬁnding Galerkin’s discretization error using (3.11): ⎧ Galerkin’s approximation ψh ∈ Φh for solution ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ψ ∈ Φ of the problem (2.11) Φh ⊂ Φ is given; (3.13) ﬁnd the error e := ψ − ψh = (eu , ep ) ∈ E := Φ\Φh such that ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ s(e, ϕ) = ρ(ψh ), ϕ ∀ϕ ∈ E. It is as hard to ﬁnd the solution of the problem (3.13) as to ﬁnd the solution of the start piezoelectricity problem (2.11). Therefore, we should perform Galerkin’s discretization on it in some ﬁnite-dimensional subspace of errors space E. In order to simplify usage of that procedure in a future, we link up it realization to the

AEE for Piezoelectricity Problems

299

triangulation τh = {K}, which was used to ﬁnd the solution of the piezoelectricity discrete problem (2.22), and formulate the following problem: ⎧ Eh ⊂ E, Eh = Ehu × Ehp , ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ dim Ehu = M u < ∞, dim Ehp = M p < ∞ is given; (3.14) u p ⎪ ⎪ ﬁnd the eh = (eh , eh ) ∈ Eh such that ⎩ s(eh , ϕ) = ρ(ψh ), ϕ ∀ϕ ∈ Eh . Now, returning to an estimation (3.2), we are capable of deﬁning an important result. Theorem 3.4. About correctness of discretization error problem. Let variational problem of piezoelectricity (2.11) have the single solution ψ ∈ Φ and its Galerkin’s approximation is ψh ∈ Φh , which was found using (2.22) with any h > 0. Then, the variational problem (3.14) for ﬁnding approximation eh of discretization error e = ψ − ψh ∈ E = Φ\Φh is well posed and |eh |Φ ≤ |ρ(ψh )|∗ ,

(3.15)

|eh |2Φ = |ρ(ψh )|2∗ − |e − eh |2Φ ∀h > 0.

(3.16)

So, energy norm of Galerkin’s discretization error approximation does not exceed the norm of the error source functional, in addition, as (3.16) testiﬁes, we can estimate diﬀerence between that norms, if we are able to calculate norm |e − eh|V . For this purpose, we can use interpolation estimates, which is typical for a priori FEM errors. Furthermore, we propose the procedure to calculate energy norms 2 |eh |K := [cijkm εij (euh ) εkm (euh ) + gkm Ek (eph ) Em (eph ) ] dx∀K ∈ τh (3.17) K

which use bubble-functions to build spaces Eh . The orthogonality, which is inherent to that functions, can reduce computation eﬀorts to ﬁnd (3.17) on each ﬁnite element K, indeed, it needs to solve the d + 1-order system of algebraic equations on each of them. 3.3. Bubble-approximation of FEM discretization error On the set triangulation τh = {K} let us examine piecewise-deﬁned function b ∈ H01 (Ω) of the following sort: b|K := bK ∈ H01 (K), (3.18) b(xK ) = 1 ∀K ∈ τh ∀h > 0, where xK is a point, for example, mass center of the ﬁnite element K. Now, we select the system of functions {bK }K∈τh as a basis of space Ehu and series of function systems {{bK }K∈τh }di=1 as a basis of space Ehp in the problem (3.14). Let us deﬁne error approximation in spaces Ehu , Ehp , as euh (x) =

4. Numerical experiments The developed numerical schemes was applied to the sequence of the model onedimensional piezoelectricity problems. PZT-4 material was used as a piezoelectric. It has the following physic properties: density ρ = 7500 kg/m3 , elastic coeﬃcient c = 13, 9·108 H/m2 , piezoelectric coeﬃcient e = 15, 1 C/m, dielectric susceptibility coeﬃcient g = 730 F/m. In order to calculate norms of the found numerical results we use the following rules (2.19). Also these norms deﬁne the value of the potential energy of piezoelec-

tric Π = 2−1 u V + p Q . Let us denote, that the order of the convergence of the magnitude w in space H can be calculated as 2

pH (w) = log2 ( w0 H − w1 H ) − log2 ( w1 H − w2 H ) . The values of the relative error of magnitude H can be calculated as εH = −1 eH S H S . In examples, we used bubble-functions of the second order for the linear approximation and the fourth-order bubble-functions for the quadratic approximation. The advantage of using bubble-functions is the ability to ﬁnd AEE on each ﬁnite element independently from the other elements of triangulation. This has positive eﬀect on available computational resources usage. In the next ﬁgures you can see appearance of the above-described bubble-functions.

spaces Vh and Qh of the deformation and potential correspondingly. Let’s deﬁne error approximation in spaces Vk , Qk , as euh = e¯uh bK and eph = e¯ph bK and use them in (3.20). After some transformations we get the following system of two equations which we use to ﬁnd numerical values of the e¯uh , e¯ph u e¯h c (bK , bK ) − e¯ph e (bK , bK ) = l, bK − c (uh , bK ) + e (ph , bK ) (4.1) e¯ph g (bK , bK ) + e¯uh e (bK , bK ) = r, bK − g (ph , bK ) − e (bK , uh ) Taking into account the properties of the bilinear form system (4.1), the determinant D = c (bK , bK ) g (bK , bK ) + e (bK , bK ) e (bK , bK ) of the system is greater then zero and that means, that the system (4.1) has single solution. As a result of

system solving we get a posteriori error estimators of the found FEM approximation of the deformation and potential e¯uh =

l, bK − c (uh , bK ) + e (ph , bK ) + e¯ph · e (bK , bK ) c (bK , bK )

e¯ph = {c (bK , bK ) g (bK , bK ) + e (bK , bK ) e (bK , bK )}−1 ·{(r, bK − g (ph , bK ) − e (bK , uh )) c (bK , bK ) − (l, bK − c (uh , bK ) + e (ph , bK )) e (dK , bK )}. Let’s examine one meter piezoelectric shank, which is ﬁxed and grounded on the left and right sides, that is Ω = [0, 1], u(0) = u(1) = 0, p(0) = p(1) = 0. Inside of the shank the density of the electric charge is ρ∗ = 100 C/m3 and the inside force is f = 100 H. On the following ﬁgures you can see graphics of the numeric results for deformation and potential which we received using linear approximation on 8 ﬁnite elements. Also you can see appropriative values of the calculated errors, which were found using second-order bubble-functions.

Figure 3. The value of deformation (1) and its error (2) In Table 1 the norms of the found estimators in a case, when we use linear and quadratic approximation are presented.

Figure 4. The value of potential (1) and its error (2) In case of linear approximation, received numerical results are conformed with theoretical ones. The indexes of convergency order are less then we have been waiting for in case of the quadratic approximation. The explanation of that is a quadratic character of the found result. That is that, the usage of the quadratic approximation automatically enables suﬃciently accurate determination of unknown coeﬃcients of the solution combination. Therefore, the value of the estimator norm actually is an estimate of the calculation inaccuracy on the set triangulation. Table 2 gives us possibility to analyze dynamics of the relative error reducing in case when the triangulation twice as dense. Table 2. Relative error values 8 16 εu (uh ∈ P1 (K)) 12,6% 6,26% εp (ph ∈ P1 (K)) 12,5% 6,25% εu (uh ∈ P2 (K)) 6, 5 · 10−5 % 3, 1 · 10−5 % εp (ph ∈ P2 (K)) 6, 4 · 10−5 % 3, 2 · 10−5 %

The values of relative errors indicate, that the usage of the quadratic approximation makes possible to get better results then the linear one on triangulation with equal number of nodes.

Remarks about Observables for the Quantum Mechanical Harmonic Oscillator Heinz Otto Cordes To the memory of M. Krein

Abstract. A comparison algebra A for the self-adjoint diﬀerential operator 2 d2 was introduced by H.Sohrab [So1] [This is a C ∗ -algebra of H = − dx 2 + x singular integral operators with symbol in the sense of our book [Co1]. The symbol space is a (topological) circle. Operators in the algebra are Fredholm if and only if their symbol does not vanish.] Here we ask the question whether A or a convenient subalgebra HS ⊂ A (or the algebra of operators within reach of HS) might be suitable to serve as algebra of precisely predictable observables for the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator. We identify such algebra HS, with symbol space also a circle, and show that (i) creation and annihilation certainly are within reach of HS and (ii) HS is invariant under conjugation with the propagator e−iHt while (iii) this conjugation induces rotation as associate dual map of the symbol space. The “operators within reach” form an algebra HS ∞ as well, with many properties of the algebra P introduced for Dirac’s equation in [C2]. Introducing it as an algebra of precisely predictable observables, we ﬁnd that here location and momentum are precisely predictable. Comparing this with results for Dirac’s equation discussed in Ch. 5 of [Co2], and with the attempt for the harmonic oscillator in Ch. 8 there, we ﬁnd a remarkably diﬀerent behaviour, for each case. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). 35Q40, 35S99, 81Q99. Keywords. Harmonic oscillator, precisely predictable observable.

1. Generals about the harmonic oscillator We look at the ordinary diﬀerential operator H=−

to be considered as an unbounded self-adjoint operator of the Hilbert space H = L2 (R). The spectral theory of this operator is well known: there is discrete spectrum only; eigenvalues are λj = 2j + 1, j = 0, 1, . . ., all of them simple. Corresponding (normalized) eigenfunctions ϕj are given by the Hermite functions – in detail, −j/2 1 2 1 2 (1.2) ψj (x) = γj e− 2 x Hj (x), γj = π − 4 √ , j! with the Hermite polynomials Hj (x). The operator H and its spectral theory play its special role as the Schr¨ odinger operator of the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator. However, for physical purposes it might be better to redeﬁne H by setting 1 d2 1 d d 1 2 H= − 2 +x − = x− x+ . (1.1 ) 2 dx 2 2 dx dx This new operator H – i.e., the operator 12 (H − 1) with H of (1.1) – clearly has the same spectral theory, except eigenvalues now are λj = 0, 1, . . . while eigenfunctions still are given by (1.2). Also, H of (1.1 ) is obtained from the classical total energy d , respectively [and E = 12 (p2 + q 2 ) by replacing q and p with x and Dx = 1i dx 1 subtracting a “rest energy” 2 ], following the “standard quantization rule”. d In addition yet, setting ∂x = dx , it turns out that the two operators 1 A = √ (x + ∂x ), 2

1 A∗ = √ (x − ∂x ) 2

(1.3)

satisfy the commutator condition [A, A∗ ] = AA∗ − A∗ A = 1

(1.4)

while (1.1 ) amounts to H = A∗ A. From (1.4) and (1.5) we get [H, A] = −A, H(Aψj ) = (j − 1)(Aψj ),

(1.5) ∗

∗

[H, A ] = A which has the eﬀect that H(A∗ ψj ) = (j + 1)(A∗ ψj ).

(1.6)

Or, in words, application of A to an “eigenstate” ψj converts ψj into an eigenstate of the next lower integer j − 1 (or to 0, if j = 0). On the other hand, application of A∗ converts ψj into a multiple of ψj+1 – a state belonging to the eigenvalue j + 1. This is the reason for calling A and A∗ the annihilation operator and creation operator, respectively. Namely, in the physical interpretation, the unit vector ψj represents a physical state where j “energy quanta” exist. Accordingly, application of A destroys one energy quantum [of the j quanta present] while application of A∗ creates one more quantum [so that a state is reached where j + 1 quanta are present]. The time-independent Schr¨ odinger equation is just the eigenvalue equation Hψ = Eψ,

(1.7)

307

So, for a normalized eigenfunction ψj the energy is given as E = j. For an arbitrary unit vector ψ ∈ H one must expand ∞ ψ(x) = ej ψj (x) with ej = ψj , ψ. (1.8) 0

In that state, a measurement of energy will result in the value E = j with probability |ej |2 = |ψj , ψ|2 so that the expectation value of the measurement will be ∞ ˘ = ψ, Hψ = E j|ψj , ψ|2 . (1.9) 0

The time-dependent Schr¨ odinger equation is of the form ∂ψ + iHψ = 0. (1.10) ∂t The initial value problem of this partial diﬀerential equation [of order 2] – i.e., ﬁnding a solution ψ(t, x) assuming a given initial value ψ(0, t) = ψ 0 ∈ H – is solved by ψ = e−iHt ψ0 with the “evolution operator” or “propagator” U (t) = e−iHt representing a (strongly continuous) group of unitary operators on the Hilbert space H. This propagator U (t) is explicitly known as integral operator U (t)ψ = u(x, y; t)ψ(y)dy, (1.11) R

with kernel1

2 2 i 1 u(x, y; t) = √ (1.12) e 2 sin t {(x +y ) cos t−2xy} . 2πi sin t Existence of this integral for general ψ ∈ H – and even the meaningfulness of the kernel (1.12) for t = jπ with integers j might require some discussions we will not pursue right now. The law of conservation of energy then requires that all physical states [i.e., all unit vectors ψ ∈ H] propagate in time along the Schr¨ odinger equation (1.10), assuming that observables are kept constant. In other words, the state ψ 0 at time t = 0 will become the state ψ(t) = e−iHt ψ 0 at time t. Or, equivalently, if states are kept constant, then all observables – i.e., all self-adjoint operators T – will propagate by the rule T → eiHt T e−iHt .

2. Remarks about observables We already noted some facts about the (total) energy observable represented by the self-adjoint operator H. Other standard observables, in this case, would be location – represented by the (unbounded self-adjoint) multiplication operator M of multiplication by x – i.e., the operator ψ(x) → xψ(x), and momentum represented 0 −iλ t j ψ ψ using a formula found (1.12) follows from the standard Ansatz U (t) = e j j in [MOS] (last ﬂa. on p. 252). A derivation without that ﬂa. may be based on a direct calculation of the Feynman path integral for this special case, using “time slicing approximation”. 1 Formula

d by the ﬁrst-order diﬀerential operator D = 1i dx – again unbounded self-adjoint. Both these operators have simple continuous spectrum (even absolutely continuous) extending over the entire real line. The location operator is “diagonal” in the present “representation” [often called the “conﬁguration representation”]. Since we have F¯ DF = M = multiplication by x a conjugation by the Fourier transform [of all above operators] would bring us into a representation where the momentum is diagonal – called the momentum representation. An observation of M or D in a physical state ψ would yield the expectation value ψ, M ψ resp. ψ, Dψ. The observed value would lie in an interval Δ = [λ , λ ] with probability ψ, EΔ ψ, where EΔ denotes the spectral projection (of M or D, resp.) belonging to the interval Δ. This is according to a theory developed by J. v. Neumann [Ne1], for the general Schr¨ odinger equation with general potential, and in general dimension ≥ 1. The leading example, at that time, might have been the hydrogen atom where then we have H = − 12 Δ + γ/|x| with the 3-dimensional Laplace operator Δ and the “ﬁne structure constant” γ ≈ 1/137. The Schr¨ odinger equation is intended for nonrelativistic applications. As such it must be regarded an approximation. For the hydrogen atom it was replaced by the relativistically covariant Dirac equation. For Dirac’s theory the above scheme of prediction of observables of v. Neumann is known to lead into some physical paradoxes we have tried to cure in [Co2] by introducing some algebras of global pseudodiﬀerential operators containing the “precisely predictable observables”. Location and momentum above are not precisely predictable, but they are “approximately predictable” insofar as they diﬀer in operator norm from some precisely predictable observable only by a small error quantity – for location the error seems of the order of the Compton wave length. Crudely speaking our algebra of precisely predictable observables for Dirac’s theory consist of pseudodiﬀerential operators T which remain pseudodiﬀerential operators under the conjugation T → eiHt T e−iHt , – i.e., the Heisenberg representation – where now H denotes the Dirac operator. Returning to our Schr¨ odinger equation of the harmonic oscillator, note this must be regarded as the wave equation of an entirely diﬀerent particle – namely a photon, said to be “of spin 0”, assuming that it can be called a particle at all [rather one might just look at it as a quantization of energy]. In that respect then we must regard the Schr¨ odinger equation of the harmonic oscillator as an exact wave equation. The question of relativistic covariance comes up only in connection with quantum ﬁeld theory, looking at (3-dimensional) electromagnetic waves, where light quanta of diﬀerent frequencies come into play, but where also an inﬁnite tensor product (inﬁnite with the cardinality of the continuum) gets involved. Here we plan to stay restricted to the 1-dimensional oscillator (of frequency 1) but there will ask the question whether there is a similar need [or only possibility] of introducing an algebra of precisely predictable observables.

Harmonic Oscillator

309

A ﬁrst attempt, in this respect, was made in [Co2], Ch. 8, where we investigated an algebra of 1-dimensional ψdo-s similar to the one used for Dirac. In a sense that√algebra was generated by only 2 operators – namely the multiplication s(x) = x/ 1 + x2 and the singular convolution S = F¯ s(x)F . However, an investigation shows that such algebra is not invariant under the Heisenberg transform T → eiHt T e−iHt . In a sense that algebra “rotates” in an abstract sense, with every operator turning into its negative at t = π and to itself at t = 2π, etc. Such operators might be precisely predictable only at periodic times. On the other hand, we were studying diﬀerent algebras of global singular integral operators in [Co1] (appeared in 1987). The point then was to investigate the Fredholm property of operators in a (so-called) comparison algebra generated by some (global) second-order elliptic diﬀerential operator. In that connection the diﬀerential operator H of (1.1) was investigated (even for the n-dimensional case) by H. Sohrab [So1]. We thus propose now to investigate the (bounded and unbounded self-adjoint operators) “within reach” of Sohrab’s algebra, in the 1dimensional case, trying to ﬁnd out the suitability of such global ψdo-s as an algebra of special importance for theory of observables of our present harmonic oscillator.

3. Sohrab’s algebras The operator H of (1.1 ) has all eigenvalues λj = 0, 1, 2, . . . nonnegative2 , hence H + 1 is positive deﬁnite ≥ 1, hence it is invertible, and it has a unique positive square root 1 1 ∞ − 12 Λ = (H + 1) = (H + 1 + λ)−1 λ− 2 dλ. (3.1) π 0 Furthermore H is a second-order elliptic diﬀerential operator on R. A “comparison algebra” for such an operator (in the sense of [Co1]), is generated as a C ∗ subalgebra of L(H) by 2 kinds of operators: (i) some multiplications a(M):ψ(x) → a(x)ψ(x) by a (smooth) bounded continuous function a(x) over R. (ii) some operators of the form DΛ with Λ of (3.1) and a (≤) ﬁrst-order linear diﬀerential operator D (with smooth coeﬃcients). Sohrab – in [So1], here restricted to one dimension – in eﬀect uses one multiplicax tion operator s(M ) with s(x) = √1+x , and two operators of the second form (ii), 2 namely, 1 d . (3.2) xΛ and DΛ , with D = i dx generating a comparison algebra he calls A. He also discusses another (smaller) such algebra, using only the operators (3.2), without any multiplications. Both these algebras have compact commutators and contain the entire ideal K(H) of operator H has a unique self-adjoint realization in L2 (R) – i.e., the minimal operator is essentially self-adjoint.

compact operators H → H, so that the quotients A/K(H) and A# /K(H) are function algebras, by the Gelfand-Naimark theorem. In eﬀect Sohrab proves Theorem 3.1. (H. Sohrab) The symbol space M# of A# is a (topological) circle. It is best realized by looking at the “directional compactiﬁcation” B2 of the (x, ξ)space R2 , obtained by adding one point ∞(x0 , ξ 0 ) at the end of each ray (ρx0 , ρξ 0 ) as ρ → ∞, where (x0 , ξ 0 ) is any unit vector. The circle M# then is given as the boundary 2 2 M# = ∂B2 = {∞(x0 , ξ 0 ) : x0 + ξ 0 = 1}. (3.3) # With this construction of M the two generators (3.2) have the symbols x ξ 1 1 σxΛ = √

Figure 1. The symbol space M of the algebra A is an oval at |x|+|ξ| = ∞, consisting of the principal symbol space Mp (at |ξ| = ∞) and the secondary symbol space Ms (at |x| = ∞). The space M is deﬁned as the maximal ideal space of the (commutative) quotient algebra A/K(H) An operator A ∈ A is Fredholm if and only if its symbol does not vanish on M. and {−∞ ≤ x ≤ ∞} × {ξ = −∞} and extend at the ends (∞, ±∞) by attaching a right semi-circle {∞(x2 + ξ 2 ) : x2 + y 2 = 1, x > 0}, and, similarly at the other two ends (−∞, ±∞), by attaching the other half-circle {∞(x2 + ξ 2 ) : x2 + y 2 = 1,x < 0}. The symbol of the generator s(x) then is given as the function s(x) on the two lines [−∞, ∞] × ±∞ extended constant on the two semi-circles. The symbol of the generators (3.2) is given by (3.4) on the two semi-circles, extended constant on the two straight lines. We remind of the use for the above: Corollary 3.2. An operator T ∈ A (or ∈ A# ) is Fredholm if and only if its symbol never vanishes. There also is an “index theorem” supplying a formula for the Fredholm index in terms of homotopy invariants of the symbol. For this we refer to [So1].

As a side remark: we, of course, also may adjoin the operator S = s(D) = ˘ still with compact comF¯ s(x)F to the algebra A obtaining then a C ∗ -algebra A, mutators, and all above things still apply – all generators are ψdo-s in our algebra Opψc0 of [Co3] (cf. our remarks, below, regarding xΛ and DΛ of (3.2). In fact, A˘ will contain the C ∗ -algebra of [Co1], Sec. 8.1 (called A there, but to avoid confusion let it be called B here).

For B two points (x, ±∞) are added for each x ∈ R, and also two points (±∞, ξ) for ξ ∈ R, but all “directions” of A# generate only the 4 corners of the square generated by the lines (x, ±∞) , (±∞, ξ), according to the 4 quadrants ±x, ±ξ > 0. On the other hand, for A and A˘ both types of “point generation” are used. For A˘ the directions of the 4 quadrants generate their individual point each, rounding the corners of the square. For A, on the other hand, the generator S is missing, hence the vertical lines (±∞, ξ) collapse into a point each, giving us the oval of Fig. 1.

Indeed, we trivially have H = h(x, D) with 2h(x, ξ) = x2 + ξ 2 − 1 ∈ Opψc(2,2) . But H or H + 1 are not md-elliptic, as immediately seen. However, one ﬁnds that H + 1 is formally md-hypo-elliptic, in the sense of [Co3], p. 85. As such H + 1 possesses

a K-parametrix with somewhat weaker properties, by II, Thm. 2.5 of [Co3], and the L2 -inverse (H + 1)−1 must diﬀer from it by an operator of order −∞, so that (H + 1)−1 itself is a ψdo with the same properties3 . Checking about the order of this operator, one ﬁnds that (H + 1)−1 ∈ Opψc(2,0) ∩ Opψ(0,2) .

(4.1)

In a similar way, using the parametrix method (cf. also Sec. 8, below) one ﬁnds 1 that the positive square root (H + 1)− 2 is a global ψdo, and that 1

Λ = (H + 1)− 2 ∈ Opψc(1,0) ∩ Opψc(0,1) .

(4.2)

Relation (4.2) is just enough to verify that the two generators xΛ and DΛ belong to Opψc0 . The same, evidently, is true for the multiplier s(x). We thus ﬁnd that the ﬁnitely generated algebra A0 ⊂ A is an algebra of (strictly classical) pseudodiﬀerential operators of order 0 = (0, 0), in the sense of [Co2] or [Co3]. Such operators also have a symbol as pseudodiﬀerential operators (here called ψdo-symbol), a smooth function of x, ξ deﬁned over R2 . Comparing the ψdo-symbols and the algebra symbols of the generators we ﬁnd that [within the algebra A0 ] the algebra symbol of A is obtained as limit ξ → ±∞ of the ψdo-symbol, for ﬁnite ﬁxed x on the principal symbol space Mp , and as limit ρ → ∞ of ρ(x0 , ξ 0 ) on the point (x0 , ξ 0 ) of one of the two semi-circles making the secondary symbol space Ms . Taking closure within the Fr´echet topology of Opψc0 – obviously stronger than the operator norm topology of A will get us an (adjoint invariant) larger subalgebra Aψ ⊃ A0 of 0-order strictly classical ψdo-s contained in A. We would like to make the point here that there exist two slightly diﬀerent ways of introducing an algebra of “pseudodiﬀerential operators” to this case: Either (i) we work within the class ΨH of all operators of the form Λ−s A where s ∈ R, and A ∈ Aψ . For this we need to conﬁrm that Λ−s ∈ Opψc2se for s > 0, and Λ−s ∈ Opψcse for s < 0. Moreover, it is to be shown that ΨH is an algebra, and that we can execute some calculus of ψdo-s within ΨH. Or else, (ii) we consider the operators “within reach” of our C ∗ -algebra A (or one of the other algebras of our list of ﬁg.2). For this it is natural also to introduce the L2 -Sobolev spaces (4.3) Hs = {u ∈ S : Λ−s u ∈ H} −s −s with their Hilbert space structure and inner product u, vs = Λ u, Λ v. We notice the following Lemma 4.1. For A ∈ A0 we have Λ−s AΛs − A ∈ K(Hm ) for all s, all m.

(4.4)

Evidently we only must show that the statement holds for the generators. To prove this lemma the ψdo-calculus is not suﬃcient (although one ﬁnds that 3 For

powers Λs belong to Opψc). However the resolvent integral techniques described in [Co1], p. 163f will supply the necessary tools. Clearly Lemma 4.1 will imply that A0 also may be regarded as a ∗-invariant subalgebra of L(Hs ). Its commutators are compact there as well. We may take the C ∗ -algebra closure – the norm closure – to obtain algebras A ⊂ L(Hs ). All As have compact commutators and are algebras with symbol. The symbol space is the same, for all s, and an operator A ∈ As ∩ At has the same symbol in both algebras. We also may speak of the Fr´echet algebra A∞ obtained by completing A0 under the topology induced by all Hs - norms – this is a Fr´echet topology. Clearly, an operator A ∈ A∞ belongs to all algebras As . it has the same (algebra-)symbol in all these algebras. Deﬁnition 4.2. Let s ≥ 0. An operator A ∈ L(Hs , H) of the form A = Λ−s A0 with A ∈ A∞ is said to be within reach of the algebra A (and of order s). Proposition 4.3. The operators within reach of A form a graded algebra, called ΨA, (with subspaces ΨAm of order m) due to Lemma 4.1 above. We have explained above concepts, using the C ∗ -algebra A of Sec. 3. However, the principles may be applied to any of the other 3 algebras of Sec. 3 – i.e., A# , B, A˘ – as well. We shall deal with the algebras of the second kind (ii) here – i.e., with ΨA, etc., rather than with ΨH – because their environment was studied closely in [Co1], while pursuit of (i) would need more work. We are revisiting the above facts here, asking the question whether the algebras A, A# , ΨA, ΨA# are “Heisenberg invariant” – that is, are invariant under conjugation by the propagator e−iHt of the Schr¨ odinger equation (1.10). In Section 4, below, we shall ﬁnd that the answer is positive for the “#-algebras”, but not for the algebras A, ΨA obtained by adjoining the multiplication s(x), or the ˘ remaining two B, A.

5. The holomorphic representation and the invariance of A# In [Co2] Ch. 8.5 we already discussed the fact that the multiplication operator s(x) does not remain within our algebra there when conjugated with the propagator e−iHt of the Schr¨ odinger equation (1.10), and it appears evident that this remains true when substituting our present algebra A, looking at the symbol space of Fig. 1. Thus we will not expect our algebra A to stay invariant under such conjugation. However, the algebra A# and the algebra ΨA# of its operators within reach will have this property. To see this it may be convenient to introduce the (so-called) holomorphic representation of this harmonic oscillator problem [to be found in Faddeev-Slavnow [FS], for example].

Evidently then the time-dependent Schr¨ odinger equation (1.10) now has become a ﬁrst-order PDE, namely, ∂ψ ∂ψ + iz = 0. (5.9) ∂t ∂z [We are dropping ˘. from now on. In fact, the initial value problem of eq. (5.9) can be easily solved explicitly]: Proposition 5.1. The unique solution ψ(t, z) of eq. (5.9) assuming the initial values ψ(0, z) = ψ 0 (z) is given by the ﬂa. ψ(t, z) = ψ 0 (ze−it ).

(5.10)

To prove this proposition we may just substitute ψ(t, z) of ﬂa. (5.10) into the transformed Schr¨ odinger equation (5.9) [uniqueness is a matter of standard theorems]. The theorem below then becomes trivial. Theorem 5.2. The algebras A# = HS and ΨA# = HS ∞ remain invariant under conjugation by the propagator of eq. (1.10) In particular, setting Tt = eiHt T e−iHt , for general operators T , we have Λt = Λ and (xΛ + iDΛ)t = e−it (xΛ + iDΛ) , (xΛ − iDΛ)t = eit (xΛ − iDΛ) .

(5.11)

Moreover, the creation and annihilation operator as well as location x and momentum D, all are within reach of A# = HS. They are of order 1, of course, and we get A∗t = eit A∗ , At = e−it A , (x)t = x cos t + D sin t , (D)t = −x sin t + D cos t . (5.12) In particular then, the associate dual map M# → M# of the automorphism HS → HS is just given as the rotation (x + iξ) → e−it (x + iξ).

6. Precisely predictable observables In [Co2] we discussed some algebras of pseudodiﬀerential operators invariant under conjugation with the Dirac propagator. The fact was discussed that the unbounded self-adjoint operators of such an algebra have a well-deﬁned Heisenberg transform A → At → eiHt Ae−iHt . Their ψdo-symbol propagates along the classical particle orbits, as |x|+|ξ| is large. Even the electron spin propagates as a magnetic moment in the existing electromagnetic ﬁeld. We were introducing the concept “precisely predictable” for such operators, in view of the fact that the expectation value of such an observable should behave exactly as prescribed by J. v. Neumann’s rules. Most dynamical observables were not precisely predictable, however. In particular, location and momentum were only approximately predictable, in the sense that they were “close” to a precisely predictable observable – with a “built-in uncertainty”.

316

H.O. Cordes

In view of our results of Sec. 5, above, we now are tempted to generalize this concept to the harmonic oscillator (as the only Schr¨ odinger-type Hamiltonian, so far). In Ch. 8 of [Co2] we examined the above algebra B, but found it not “Heisenberg invariant”. However, in view of Thm. 5.2, we now may focus on the algebra ΨA# , and deﬁne its self-adjoint operators as precisely predictable observables. We then see that total energy H as well as location x and momentum d Dx = 1i dx belong to ΨA# . So – in the above language – they are precisely predictable. Or, in other words, displacement as well as momentum of the oscillation are precisely predictable. The ﬁeld of classical orbits for the harmonic oscillator consists of the concentric circles around the origin, in the x, ξ-plane. We did not prove existence of a ψdo-symbol for operators in ΨA# . So we can study symbol propagation under the particle ﬂow on special examples only – i.e., operators in ΨA# also known as ψdos. However, Thm. 5.2 also implies that the algebra symbol space M# at ∞(x, ξ) certainly experiences the classical rotation under the Heisenberg conjugation, just as indicated by the particle ﬂow in ΨA# .

7. Linear perturbations of the harmonic oscillator Our algebras of Sec. 4 are also useful if we perturb the operator H of (1.1 ) by an expression linear in x and D, i.e., deal with a Hamiltonian 1 H = (D2 + ω 2 x2 − ω) + c1 D + c2 x, (7.1) 2 where c1 , c2 are real constants – possibly depending on t, for a time-dependent Hamiltonian. That is, using our holomorphic representation, we consider d d + γ¯ + γz, (7.1 ) dz dz with an arbitrary ﬁxed (complex) constant γ, again allowed to (possibly) depend on t but not on z. In the latter case, the Hamiltonian H = H(t) will be timedependent. Then we may not speak of the propagator e−iHt but still will have a propagator U (t) = U (0, t) – or, more generally U (τ, t) – solving the initial-value problem for t = 0 (or t = τ , resp.). The corresponding Schr¨odinger equation H = ωz

ψ|t + i(ωzψ|z + γ¯ ψ|z + γzψ) = 0.

(7.2)

still may be solved explicitly, as a ﬁrst-order scalar PDE. For the propagator U (τ, t) we get the formula (U (t0 , t)ψ)(z) = e

(7.4) Indeed, this will deﬁne a meaningful operator if we only assume that γ(t) ∈ L1 (R), because then the two constants t t ∞ iω(τ −κ) b= dτ dκe γ(τ )¯ γ (κ), c = γ(τ )eiωτ (7.5) −t

are well deﬁned. Note that we may write ∗

S = eib e−icA e−i¯cA ,

(7.6)

with above constants b, c. For us it may be more important to observe that also our propagator U (t) = U (0, t) may be written as (U (t)ψ 0 )(t, z) = eib(t) ec(t)z ψ 0 (e−iωt z − c¯(t)),

(7.7)

with certain b(t), c(t) independent of z. This will allow us to calculate the Heisenberg transforms of creation and annihilation again: we get e−c(t)z A∗ ec(t)z = A∗ ,

e−c(t)z Aec(t)z = A + c(t),

(7.8a)

and, using the substitution operator S : u(z) → u(e−iωt z − c¯(t)), for a moment, S −1 A∗ S = eiωt A∗ + eiωt c¯(t),

S −1 AS = e−iωt A.

(7.8b)

U ∗ (t)AU (t) = e−iωt A + e−iωt c(t).

(7.9)

Combining this we get U ∗ (t)A∗ U (t) = eiωt A∗ + eiωt c¯(t),

Finally, it may be observed (without proof, at this time) that the “perturbed 1 1 generators” x(1 + H(t))− 2 , D(1 + H(t))− 2 generate the same algebras A# = HS # and HS ∞ = ΨA – simply because the diﬀerence H − H0 is of ﬁrst order, hence compensated by the operator Λ. For constant γ(t) – i.e., constant H(t) – the operator (H(t) + 1)s again commutes with the propagator U (t) = e−iHt , so that it remains unchanged under conjugation. As a consequence we ﬁnd that Thm. 4.2 essentially remains intact and the linear perturbation [for variable γ(t) a slightly diﬀerent argument may lead to the same result]. Theorem 7.1. The algebras HS and HS ∞ both remain invariant under conjugation by the propagator U (t). While formulas (4.11) and (4.12) do not remain precisely intact, they still remain intact modulo (relatively compact) lower-order additional terms, and we still have the last sentence of Thm. 4.2 correct: The automorphism of the symbol space M# generated by the conjugation T → U ∗ (t)T U (t) is just given as the rotation z → eiωt z.

H.O. Cordes

Since the generators of the algebra HS = A# are (strictly classical) global pseudodiﬀerential operators (in our algebra Opψc0 ) there will be a subalgebra A# ψ of A# consisting of pseudodiﬀerential operators only. It thus might be interesting to also ﬁnd out whether there is a global Egorov-type theorem attached to the conjugation by U (t). That is, one might ask how the ψdo-symbol of T ∈ A# ψ propagates under Heisenberg conjugation, assuming that Tt remains in the algebra A# ψ. We have not yet attempted to ﬁnd an answer to these questions.

8. A discussion of the parametrix method In this section we are going to sketch some details of discussions leading to the proof of the following facts: 1) The operator Λ of (3.2) belongs to Opψc−e1 and to Opψc−e2 [and, in fact to Opψc−τ e1 −(1−τ )e2 for all 0 ≤ τ ≤ 1]. 2) The generators xΛ and DΛ belong to Opψc0 . 3) The powers Λs belong to Opψc−s(τ e1 +(1−τ )e2 ) for all s > 0 and 0 ≤ τ ≤ 1. They belong to Opψc|s|e for all s < 0. Here “Opψcm ” denotes the class of all strictly classical ψdo-s of order m = (m1 , m2 ), and we set e = (1, 1) , e1 = (1, 0) , e2 = (0, 1). The class of symbols a(x, ξ) of order m is denoted by ψcm . The corresponding class of operators A = a(x, D) is called Opψcm . The symbol class ψcm is just the class of C ∞ √ (k) functions a with a(l) (x, ξ) = O(xm2 −l ξm1 −k ), for all k, l, where x = 1 + x2 , (α)

and where the (x, ξ)-derivative of order β [in x] and α [in ξ] is be written as a(β) . The ψdo A = a(x, D) is deﬁned by Au(x) = (2π)−1/2 dξ dyeiξ(x−y) a(x, ξ)u(y), u ∈ S(R). (8.1) We have to make extensive use of the calculus described in [Co3]. In the following let a(x, ξ) be any positive real-valued C ∞ -function over R2 – normally we are thinking of a(x, ξ) = 1 + x2 + ξ 2 . Lemma 8.1. (i) For any real μ we have (α)

(aμ )(β) = aμ pα,β , pα,β ∈ RSPN α β (a) = (αl ) αl = α, β l = β} . RSPN { (a(β l ) /a) :

Here RSPN {. . .} denotes the “real span” of the collection {. . .} – that is, the set of all real linear combinations of {. . .}. (k) α+k (ii) For any p ∈ RSPN α β (a) and any k, l we have p(l) ∈ RSPN β+l (a). The proof of this lemma is a matter of induction.

Harmonic Oscillator

319

Note, for a(x, ξ) = (1 + x2 + ξ 2 ), in the language of the lemma, we have RSPN kl (a) ⊂ ψc−ke1 −le2 , and aμ ∈ ψcμe or ∈ ψc−τ e1 −(1−τ )e2 ,

(8.3)

as μ > 0 or μ < 0, respectively. This ﬁrst implies existence of an inverse B mod O(−∞) of A = 1 + x2 + D2 where B ∈ Opψc−2τ e1 −2(1−τ )e2 , by II, Thm. 2.5 of [Co3]. To recall the construction of B – by the “parametrix method”: One just starts with a 0th approximation B0 = b0 (x, D) where b0 = 1/a = a−1 is a symbol in ψc−e1 , for example, by (8.3), where we set τ = 0, expecting the same procedure for other 0 ≤ τ ≤ 1. Using ψdo-calculus this gives AB0 = 1 + c0 (x, D) with c0 ∈ ψc−e . One then ﬁnds a “correction” B1 = b1 (x, D) of order −2e1 − e such that AB1 = −c0 (x, D)+c1 (x, D) where c1 ∈ ψc−2e , so that A(B0 +B1 )−1 ∈ ψc−2e . 1 Iterating 0 one obtains a sequence Bj of order −e − je, and the asymptotic sum B = Bj has AB − 1 of order −∞. Similarly we construct a right inverse, hence an inverse – all mod O(−∞). This “parametrix method” may be generalized to construct a square root √ of a positive operator – related to the above just as extracting the spare root 2 is related to “long division”. But to obtain a “positive square root” some precautions are needed. First, we will not use the “left-multiplying” representation A = a(x, D) but the “Weyl representation” A = aw (Mw , D) (cf. [Co3], p. 61) with a diﬀerent symbol aw ∈ ψcm . For our special a(x, ξ) = 1+x2 +ξ 2 we have a(x, D) = aw (x, D). In general, for a ∈ ψcm one deﬁnes x+y , ξ)u(y), u ∈ S(R). (8.4) (a(Mw , D)u)(x) = (2π)−1/2 dξ dyeiξ(x−y) a( 2 The advantage of this representation is that an operator A = a(Mw , D) is Hermitian if and only if its symbol is real-valued. Furthermore, we must insist that the “parametric square root” we are going construct – i.e., a ψdo B = b(Mw , D) satisfying B 2 − A ∈ O(−∞), – is at least semi-bounded below in the Hilbert space H = L2 (R). We achieve this by starting with B0 = f0 (Mw , D)2 where f0 (x, ξ) = (1 + x2 + ξ 2 )1/4 . That operator is positive, as a square of two self-adjoint operators. Moreover, we ﬁnd that B0 = b0 (Mw , D) with b0 (x, ξ) = c0 (x, ξ)(1 + p1 (x, ξ)) 1 where c0 = (1 + x2 + ξ 2 ) 2 and p1 ∈ ψc−2e , using the asymptotic composition g(Mw , D)h(Mw , D) = q(Mw , D) where q(x, ξ) =

[(∂ξ ∂y − ∂x ∂η )l g(x, ξ)h(y, η)]x=y,ξ=η .

(8.5)

Indeed, setting g = h = f0 in (8.5) the odd order terms cancel and the sum is real, and we ﬁnd that b0 (x, ξ) = c0 (x, ξ){1 +

as stated, using (8.3) and Lemma 8.1.

RSPN 2j 2j (a)} = c0 (1 + p1 ),

(8.6)

H.O. Cordes

Note then that the operator C0 = c0 (Mw , D) is a self-adjoint operator, semibounded, below, in our Hilbert space H, since it diﬀers from B0 by a bounded operator – even a compact operator in Opψc−e . Similarly we then ﬁnd that C02 = A0 = a0 (Mw , D) with ∞ RSPN 2j a0 (x, ξ) = a(x, ξ)(1 + d0 (x, ξ)), d0 ∈ 2j (a).

(8.7)

1

Next set C1 = c1 (Mw , D) with c1 (x, ξ) = − 12 c0 (x, ξ)d0 (x, ξ). Then get (C0 + C1 )2 = a0 (Mw , D) + (C0 C1 + C1 C0 ) + C12 .

(8.8)

In the second terms symbol the odd powers so that the symbol is 0∞ cancel again, 2l real. That symbol is of the form −a(d0 + 2 RSPN 2l (a)), while the last term is 0∞ of the form 2 RSPN 2l 2l . Hence we ﬁnd that ∞ RSPN 2l (8.9) (C0 + C1 )2 − A = (ad1 )(Mw , D) with d1 ∈ 2l (a). 2

It is clear now, how this iteration proceeds: We next will use the operator C2 = − 21 (c0 d1 )(Mw , D). Writing (C0 + C1 + C2 )2 = (C0 + C1 )2 + {(C0 + C1 )C2 + C2 (C0 + C1 )} + C22 we have the ﬁrst term described by (8.9). Each of 1 1 the other terms is of the form (a 2 r)(Mw , D)(a 2 s)(Mw , D) with symbols r, s beβ longing to some RSPN α α (a) and RSPN β (a), respectively. The symbol of the 1 1 (real part of the) product (a 2 r)(Mw , D)(a 2 s)(Mw , D) then will be of the form 0∞ α+β+2l (a)}. This follows from the composition formula (8.5) a{rs + 1 RSPN α+β+2l together with (8.3) and Lemma 8.1. But we have chosen the symbol of C2 in such a way that 2*(C0 C2 ) = C0 C2 + C2 C0 cancels the perturbation term (ad1 )(Mw , D) occurring in (8.9) (modulo a term of lower order). Furthermore, the other two terms C22 and *(C1 C2 ) also are of lower order. Therefore we get ∞ RSPN 2l (8.9 ) (C0 + C1 + C2 )2 − A = (ad2 )(Mw , D) with d2 ∈ 2l (a). 3

Iterating we0then get a sequence {Cj : j = 0, 1, 2, . . .}, and may take the asymptotic ∞ sum C = 0 Cj . This operator C = c(Mw , D) will be self-adjoint and it will 2 satisfy C = A + Φ with A = 1 + x2 + D2 and a ψdo Φ of order −∞. Note that C diﬀers from the positive ψdo B0 only by a ψdo of order −e – that is, a compact operator of H. So, C will be semi-bounded, below. The operator A has discrete spectrum. The perturbation A + Φ must have discrete spectrum as well, since Φ is compact. We must have (Spectrum(C))2 ⊂ Spectrum(A + C). Hence the spectrum of C also is discrete. Since C is semibounded below, there can only be ﬁnitely many eigenvalues (of ﬁnite multiplicity) in the set {λ ≤ 0}. But for such a ψdo all eigenvectors to isolated eigenvalues belong to S(R). It follows that the orthogonal projection P− onto the non-positive part of the spectrum of C belongs to O(−∞). Deﬁning C˘ = C + 2P− C we then ﬁnally get a positive deﬁnite ψdo C˘ ∈ Opψce satisfying C˘ 2 = A + Φ.

Finally, to prove that the inverse positive square root A− 2 belongs to Opψc−τ e1 −(1−τ )e2 , note that 1 ∞ −1 − 12 −1 ˘ λ 2 dλ{(A + λ)−1 − (A + Φ + λ)−1 } (8.10) A −C = π 0 ∞ 1 1 = λ− 2 dλ(A + λ)−1 Φ(A + Φ + λ)−1 . π 0 Using the “ψdo-properties” of A and A + Φ it is easily seen that Λm XΛm ∈ L(H) for all m = (m1 , m2 ) where Λm = xm2 Dm1 , and where X denotes the right1 hand side of (8.10). This implies that X = A− 2 − C˘ is a ψdo of order −∞. Knowing the symbol of C˘ up to lower order, we ﬁnd it to be formally md-hypo-elliptic with a parametrix of order −τ e1 − (1 − τ )e2 for all 0 ≤ τ ≤ 1. This implies that also 1 C˘ −1 is a ψdo of that order, and, hence, also A− 2 . Q.E.D. This will prove point (1) of our initial program, in this section, and point (2) follows as well. It should be clear that the same technique may be employed to also prove (3) – at least for any rational s.

Remark on Spectral Rigidity for Magnetic Schr¨ odinger Operators Gregory Eskin and James Ralston Abstract. We give a simple proof of Guillemin’s theorem on the determination of the magnetic ﬁeld on the torus by the spectrum of the corresponding Schr¨ odinger operator. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 35P99, Secondary 35R30. Keywords. Inverse spectral problems, wave trace.

1. Introduction This note is on inverse spectral theory for the Schr¨ odinger operator on a ﬂat two-dimensional torus with electric and magnetic potentials. This problem can be remarkably rigid. For generic ﬂat tori, if the variation of the magnetic ﬁeld is strictly less than its mean, and the total magnetic ﬂux on the torus is ±2π, then the spectrum of the Schr¨odinger operator determines both the electric and magnetic ﬁelds. This is in marked contrast to both the Schr¨ odinger operator without a magnetic ﬁeld (see [3]) and the case of a magnetic ﬁeld of mean zero (see [1]). In both those problems there are large families of isospectral ﬁelds, and rigidity results are much more diﬃcult to obtain (see also [2]). The observation that there can be spectral rigidity when the total ﬂux is ±2π is due to Guillemin ([5]). Here we give a short proof of the slightly stronger result stated above. Instead of thinking of the Hamiltonian as acting on functions with values in a line bundle over the torus R2 /L, we think of the Hamiltonian as acting on functions on R2 which are invariant with respect to the “magnetic translations” associated to L. However, these two settings are completely equivalent. Our assumption that the variation of the magnetic ﬁeld B(x) is strictly less than its mean b0 takes the simple form |B(x) − b0 | < |b0 | for all x. The spectrum of the Laplacian plus lower-order perturbations on ﬂat tori has the feature that there are large families of spectral invariants corresponding to sets of geodesics with a ﬁxed length. In analogy with results on S 2 Guillemin

G. Eskin and J. Ralston

proposed the name “band invariants” for these families. The nice feature of the problem discussed here is that only the simplest of the band invariants are needed to prove rigidity. The ﬁrst complete solution of an inverse spectral problem was Mark Krein’s deﬁnitive analysis of the “weighted string”, [9], [10]. Since that time many other inverse spectral problems in one space dimension have been solved (see [11]). In higher dimensions it is widely believed that, modulo natural symmetries and deformations like gauge transformation, most problems will be spectrally rigid. However, so far there have been relatively few settings where this has been proven (for instance those in [6] and [14]) and many interesting examples where it fails (see [12] and [4]). This should remain an active ﬁeld of research for many years to come, and one can reasonably say that it began with the work of Mark Grigor’evich Krein.

2. Proof of Guillemin’s theorem We begin with the smooth magnetic ﬁeld B, periodic with respect to the lattice L in two dimensions, expanded in a Fourier series in terms of the dual lattice L∗ B(x) = bβ e2πiβ·x . β∈L∗

For this magnetic ﬁeld we introduce the magnetic potential A = (A1 , A2 ) with ∂x2 A1 − ∂x1 A2 = B, chosen to be as periodic as possible, i.e., b0 bβ e2πiβ·x (β2 , −β1 )(2πi(β12 + β22 ))−1 . A = A0 + A1 = (x2 , −x1 ) + 2 ∗ β∈L \0

We also have a mean zero periodic electric ﬁeld which is the gradient of the mean zero periodic potential vβ e2πiβ·x . V (x) = β∈L∗ \0

The quantum Hamiltonian for an electron in these ﬁelds (with all physical constants set to 1) is H = (i∂x + A)2 + V. Let D be a fundamental domain for L. To deﬁne the domain of H as an operator in L2 (D) we will use “magnetic translation operators” (see [13]). Letting {e1 , e2 } and {e∗1 , e∗2 } be a basis for L and the corresponding dual basis for L∗ , deﬁne for linearly independent vectors v1 and v2 Tj u(x) = eivj ·x u(x + ej ),

j = 1, 2.

Then the commutator [T1 , T2 ] is given by [T1 , T2 ]u(x) = (eiv2 ·e1 − eiv1 ·e2 )ei(v1 +v2 )·x u(x + e1 + e2 ),

and the periodicity of A1 and V implies that the commutator [H, Tj ] is given by [H, Tj ]u(x) = eivj ·x ((i∂x + A(x) + A0 (ej ))2 − (i∂x + A(x) − vj )2 )u(x + ej ). Thus, in order for the Tj ’s to commute with H we require vj = −A0 (ej ), and in order for the Tj ’s to commute with each other we require A0 (e1 )·e2 = −A0 (e2 )·e1 = πl for some integer l. Note that this implies A0 (e31 ) = πle∗2 and A0 (e2 ) = −πle∗1 . Moreover, 2π|l| = |b0 |Area (D) and b0 Area (D) = D B(x)dx is the total magnetic ﬂux. Hence the assumption b0 = 0 is equivalent to nonzero ﬂux, and it implies l = 0. Deﬁning the domain of H to be the subspace of H 2 (R2 ) such that Tj u = u, j = 1, 2, we make H a self-adjoint operator in L2 (D). As in many previous works we will look for spectral invariants for H by studying the wave trace. Letting E(x, y, t) be the distribution kernel for the fundamental solution for the initial value problem utt + Hu = 0 in R2x × Rt , u(x, 0) = f (x), ut (x, 0) = 0, the distribution kernel for the corresponding initial value problem in D × Rt is T1m T2n E(x, y, t), (2.1) ED (x, y, t) = (m,n)∈Z2

where the operators Tj act on the x variable. Note that, since the principal part of ∂t2 + H is ∂t2 − Δ, E(x, y, t) = 0 when |x − y|2 > t2 and the sum in (2.1) has only a ﬁnite number of nonzero terms for t in a bounded interval. Thus [T1 , T2 ] = 0 implies Tj ED (x, y, t) = ED (x, y, t), j = 1, 2. The fundamental spectral invariant for this problem is the distribution trace of the operator ED (t) corresponding to the kernel ED (x, y, t). Conventionally (with all terms to be interpreted in distribution sense) this is written T r(t) = ED (x, x, t)dx. D

To avoid degeneracies in the contributions to T r(t) from the terms in (2.1), we assume that vectors in L have distinct lengths, i.e., d, d ∈ L and |d| = |d | implies d = ±d . Since E(x, y, t) is singular as a distribution in (x, y) only when |x − y|2 = t2 , it now follows that the singularity of T r(t) at t = |me1 + ne2 | comes from just two terms [T1m T2n E(x, x, t) + T1−m T2−n E(x, x, t)]dx.

To determine the spectral invariants coming from the leading terms in the expansion of this singularity it is convenient to use the Hadamard-H¨ ormander expansion [7], [8] for E(x, y, t). Beginning with the forward fundamental solution, E+ , deﬁned by (∂t2 + H)E+ = δ(t)δ(x − y) and E+ = 0 for t < 0 one has E+ (t, x, y) ∼

where eν is chosen so that (∂t2 − Δ)eν = νeν−1 for ν > 0 and e0 (t, |x − y|) is the forward fundamental solution for ∂t2 − Δ. In two space dimensions this means eν (t, |x − y|) = 2−2ν−1 π −1/2 X+

(t2 − |x − y|2 )

for t > 0, eν = 0 for t < 0. For a > −1 the distribution X+a is deﬁned by X+a (s) = (Γ(a + 1))−1 sa for s > 0 and X+a (s) = 0 for s < 0. Hence the coeﬃcients aν are determined by the recursion νaν + (x − y) · ∂x aν − iA(x) · (x − y)aν + Haν−1 = 0, where H acts in the variable x. Solving this with the requirement that a0 (y, y) = 1, we have 1 a0 (x, y) = exp(i (x − y) · A(y + s(x − y))ds) and (2.4) 0

where b(x, y) is determined by A(x). The fundamental solution E(x, y, t) is given by (2.6) E(x, y, t) = ∂t (E+ (t, x, y) − E+ (−t, x, y)). We deﬁne 3 31 0 1 −iA0 (d)·x+i 01 d·A(x+sd)ds I(d) = e dx = ei(2A (x)·d+ 0 d·A (x+sd)ds) dx, D

From (2.2)–(2.6) one sees that I(d)+I(−d) and J(d)+J(−d) are spectral invariants for H. However, the periodicity implies that I(d) = I(−d) and J(d) = J(−d). The rest of this article is devoted to studying I(d) and J(d). We have d = me1 + ne2 = k(m0 e1 + n0 e2 ), k ∈ N and gcd(m0 , n0 )=1. Let δ = −n0 e∗1 + m0 e∗2 . Then we have b0 A0 (d) = (d2 , −d1 ) = πklδ. 2 3 1 2πisβ·d Since 0 e ds = 0 when β · d = 0, the terms in the Fourier series for A1 which contribute to I(d) have β · d = 0, and this implies β = pδ =

pb0 (d2 , −d1 ), p ∈ Z\0. 2πkl

Hence, d · (β2 , −β1 )(2πi(β12 + β22 ))−1 = ikl(pb0 )−1 , and I(d) reduces to ibpδ exp(2πikl(−δ · x + e2πipδ·x ))dx. 2πpb0 D p∈Z\0

Extending δ to a basis for L∗ , {δ, δ }, and letting {γ, γ } be the dual basis for L, we make the change of variables x = sγ + uγ , and choose D = {sγ + uγ : 0 ≤ s, u ≤ 1}. Then we have

where c(d) is the Jacobian factor, and only depends on d. Since we have this spectral invariant for all k = 0, it follows that 1 1 f (s + A1δ (s))ds (2.7) b0 0 is a spectral invariant for any function f which can be expanded in terms of {e−2πikly }k∈Z , i.e., for any f ∈ L2loc (R) which has period 1/l. Theorem 2.1. Assume that l = 1 and |b0 | > max |B(x) − b0 |. Then the spectrum of H determines B. Remark 2.2. Since b0 is the average of B(x) on a fundamental domain, the hypothesis here is a constraint on how much B varies instead of constraint on the size of B. Remark 2.3. Since we assume 1 = l = A0 (e1 ) · e2 /π = |b0 |Area(D)/2π for a fundamental domain D, this assumption ﬁxes |b0 | when L is ﬁxed. 31 Proof of Theorem 2.1. Since Bδ (x) = 0 (B(x + sd) − b0 )ds, the hypotheses imply that the derivative of s + A1δ (s)/b0 is strictly positive and the inverse function s(y) to y = s + A1δ (s)/b0 is deﬁned on the range of s + A1δ (s)/b0 for s ∈ [0, 1]. Since A1δ has period 1, the range is I = [A1δ (0)/b0 , A1δ (0)/b0 + 1]. Letting f in (2.7) tend to the δ-function at y, the limit of (2.7) is s (y) if y = y(s) for s ∈ [0, 1]. If y = y(s) for s ∈ [0, 1] then the limit of (2.7) is s (y ∗ ), where y ∗ ∈ I, and y ∗ = y mod 1. In other words taking these limits we recover a function of period 1 in y which agrees with s (y) on I. Thus we recover A1δ (s) modulo an additive constant, and we obtain Bδ (s) by taking the derivative. Since we can carry out this argument for all prime elements δ ∈ L∗ , we recover the full Fourier expansion of B.

G. Eskin and J. Ralston

We now turn to the recovery of V . The preceding analysis shows that, keeping the same d ∈ L as above, the spectral invariant J(d), modulo terms determined by A(x), reduces to 1 ˜ = c(d) J(d) Vδ (s)e−2πik(s+Aδ (s)) ds, (2.8) 0

where Vδ (s) =

vpδ e2πips .

p∈Z\0

This immediately gives the following: Theorem 2.4. Under the hypotheses of Theorem 2.1 the spectrum of H determines V . Proof of Theorem 2.4. Since we are assuming the hypotheses of Theorem 2.1, we have the function s(y) and can make the substitution s = s(y) in (2.8). That gives A1δ (0)+1 ˜ J(d) = c(d) Vδ (s(y)e−2πiky s (y)dy, A1δ (0)

but, since y(s + 1) = y(s), we can extend s(y) smoothly to the whole line by deﬁning s(y + 1) = s(y) + 1. Thus, since Vδ (s) has period 1 in s, we have 1 ˜ = c(d) J(d) Vδ (s(y))s (y)e−2πiky dy. 0

Since we have this spectral invariant for k ∈ Z\0, we recover the Fourier series of Vδ (s(y))s (y), and, hence, since s(y) is determined by A1δ (s), we have Vδ (s). As before, since we can carry out this argument for all prime elements δ ∈ L∗ , we recover the full Fourier expansion of V . Remark 2.5. If l = p/q, p, q ∈ N, for the lattice L, then l = 1 for the lattice L0 generated by c1 e1 + c2 e2 and d1 e1 + d2 when p(c1 d2 − c2 d1 ) = q. So if B(x) and V (x) are periodic with respect to L0 , Theorems 1 and 2 apply in the sense that the spectrum of H on the torus R2 /L0 determines B(x) and V (x). Note that B(x) and V (x) will automatically be periodic with respect to L0 when l = 1/q.

On Holomorphic Solutions of Some Implicit Linear Diﬀerential Equations in a Banach Space Sergey Gefter and Tatyana Stulova To the 100th anniversary of Mark Krein

Abstract. Let A be a bounded quasinilpotent linear operator on a Banach space and f be a vector-valued function holomorphic in a neighborhood of zero. The problem of the existence and uniqueness of holomorphic and entire solution of the implicit diﬀerential equation Aw + f (z) = w is considered. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 34A20; Secondary 34A25, 34G10. Keywords. Quasinilpotent operators, holomorphic solutions, linear diﬀerential equations.

1. Introduction Diﬀerential equations in a Banach space was one of the areas related to Mark Krein’s research interests (see his joint monograph with Ju. Dalec’kii [3]). In the present paper, we consider a question of holomorphic solutions of the implicit linear diﬀerential equation Aw (z) + f (z) = w(z),

(1.1)

where A is a bounded linear operator on a complex Banach space and f (z) is a vector-valued function holomorphic in a neighborhood of zero. In this paper, the term ‘solution of Equation (1.1)’ will stand for a holomorphic solution, i.e., a vector-valued function which is holomorphic in a neighborhood of zero and satisﬁes Equation (1.1) in this neighborhood. Equation (1.1) is a particular case of the general implicit linear diﬀerential equation Aw (z) + f (z) = Bw(z), (1.2) where A and B are closed linear operators acting between two Banach spaces, and f is a vector-valued function with values in the corresponding space. In the

ﬁnite-dimensional case, this equation (i.e., an implicit system of scalar diﬀerential equations) was studied in the classical works by Weierstrass and Kronecker (see, for example, [15]). In the case of an inﬁnite-dimensional Banach space, the theory related to Equation (1.2) on the semiaxis t ≥ 0 was basically developed in the papers by A.G. Rutkas and his team [18], [19], [20], [17], [22], [23], [24] (see also [4]). If A is an invertible operator and A−1 is bounded, then Equation (1.1) can be written in the form w (z) = A−1 w(z) + g(z), where g(z) = −A−1 f (z). The properties of solutions of the later equation are well known. In particular, the Cauchy problem for this equation always has a unique holomorphic solution (see [3], Chapters II, VI and [13]). The analytical properties of solutions of the explicit equation w (z) = Aw(z) + f (z) for the case when the operator A is unbounded were studied in the papers [9], [10], [11] and [12]. We refer to [14] concerning the general theory of such equations. We consider the case which is opposite to the case where A is invertible as a bounded operator, namely, where A is quasinilpotent (i.e., the spectrum σ(A) of A reduces to the only point λ = 0). Let us formulate the main results of our paper. Theorem 2.5. Let E be a Hilbert space and A : E → E be a Volterra operator. Suppose A is of trace class, or the asymptotic estimate sn (A) = o( n1 ) for the sequence {sn (A)} of the singular values of A is valid (see [7], Chapter II). If f is an E-valued function, which is holomorphic in the disk |z| < R, then Equation (1.1) has a unique holomorphic solution in the same disk. Theorem 2.6. Let E be a Banach space, A : E → E be an arbitrary bounded quasinilpotent linear operator, and f : C → E be an entire function of exponential type (i.e., f (z) ≤ Ceσ|z| for some C > 0, σ > 0). Then Equation (1.1) has a unique entire solution of exponential type which is at most as that of f . We also present an example of a quasinilpotent operator which does not satisfy the assumptions of Theorem 2.5 and such that Equation (1.1) has no holomorphic solutions (see Example 1 after Theorem 2.5). We note that operators satisfying the assumptions of Theorem 2.5 were studied in details at Odessa School on the operator theory (see [7] and [8]). The proofs of our results are based on some approaches contained in the book by Ju. Dalec’kii and M. Krein [3], Chapter VI, § 2. Therein, the question of solutions of the explicit equation w (z) = Aw(z) + f (z) is considered for the case when a bounded operator A has a bounded inverse and f is an entire function of zero exponential type. Note that § 2 of this book is devoted to a detailed presentation of results contained in the paper by Ju. Dalec’kii and I. Korobkova [2]. We note that the use of methods of Chapter VI, § 2 [3] is one of the possible ways to investigate holomorphic solutions of Equation (1.1). There are other methods of studying Equation (1.1) in the complex domain. They will be considered in the papers that follow. We also note that the proofs of the uniqueness for holomorphic solutions of Equation (1.1), described in Theorems 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, and 2.7, are obtained by simple

arguments. This is sharply diﬀerent from the context of [23], [20] (see also [21]), where the theory of entire and meromorphic functions was applied. The present paper is related to [5] and [6], where the problem of existence of holomorphic ∂2u ∂u solutions of the equations z 2 Aw + f (z) = w and = A 2 was considered for ∂t ∂x the case where A is quasinilpotent.

In fact, the following two statements were obtained in Subsection 1, § 1 of Chapter VI [3]. Lemma 2.1. Let f (z) =

Moreover, if w(z) is a solution of the homogeneous equation Aw = w, then ck =

(2.2)

Proof. Substituting w(z) into Equation (1.1) and equating the coeﬃcients of like powers, we obtain (2.1). The equality (2.2) follows directly from (2.1). From Lemma 2.1 we obtain the following propositions concerning solutions of Equation (1.2) for two diametrically opposite algebraic situations. Lemma 2.2. Let A : E → E be an arbitrary linear operator and f (z) =

us prove the uniqueness of this solution. Let w be a solution of the homogeneous Am+1 cm+k+1 = 0 for all k ≥ 0, equation. It follows from (2.2) that ck = (m+k+1)! k! i.e., w = 0. Theorem 2.4. Let A : E → E be a bounded quasinilpotent linear operator and f be an E-valued function

|z| < r. Therefore, the function w(z) is holomorphic in the disk |z| < R. It is not diﬃcult to check that the coeﬃcients cn satisfy the recursion relation (2.1). Hence, w(z) is a solution of Equation (1.1) (see Lemma 2.1). Let us prove the uniqueness of this solution. Let w(z) be a solution of the homogeneous Equation (1.1). Then n cn = (n+k)! k! A cn+k (see Lemma 2.1). Hence J

n+k (n + k)! n+k n+k cn ≤ n! An n+k cn+k . k!n!

Since lim n+k n! An = 0, lim n+k cn+k < ∞, and lim n+k (n+k)! k!n! = 1 for n→∞ n→∞

n→∞ all k ≥ 0, we have that lim n+k ck = 0. Thus, ck = 0 for all k ≥ 0, i.e., n→∞ w = 0. For the case of a Hilbert space, we obtain the following suﬃcient conditions for existence of a holomorphic solution. Theorem 2.5. Let E be a Hilbert space and A : E → E be a Volterra operator. Suppose A is of trace class, or the asymptotic estimate sn (A) = o( n1 ) for the sequence {sn (A)} of the singular values of A is valid . If f is an E-valued function, which is holomorphic in the disk |z| < R, then Equation (1.1) has a unique holomorphic solution in the same disk. ∞ 0 Proof. Let F (z) = (1 − zA)−1 = An z n be the Fredholm resolvent of A n=0

and A is of trace class. Since A is quasinilpotent, F is an entire function and ∞ L ∞ (1 + rsj (A)), where {sj (A)}j=1 is the sequence of MA (r) = max F (z) ≤ |z|≤r

j=1

the singular values of A (see [7], Chapter V, § 5, inequality

(5.3)). Hence, F (z) is of zero exponential type (see [16], Chapter I, § 11). Thus, n n! An → 0 (see [3], Chapter I, Problem 22 and [1], Appendix B), and we see that A satisﬁes the assumptions of Theorem 2.4. Let now sn (A) = o( n1 ). It follows from V. Matsaev’s results that log MA (r) = o(r), r → ∞ (see [7], Chapter V, § 5). Hence, in this case F (z) is a function of zero exponential type as well. Let us show that Equation (1.1) may have no holomorphic solutions if A does not satisfy the assumptions of Theorem 2.4. ∞

Example (1). Let E be a Hilbert space with an orthonormalized basis {ek }k=0 and A : E → E be the forward weighted shift operator such that Aek = k1 ek+1 for all

1 k ≥ 0. It is easy to see that A is quasinilpotent and An = n! , i.e., n n! An = 1.

However, the set of functions {wk (z)}k=0 is not a solution of Equation (1.1) in the neighbourhood of zero for the space E because ∞ 0 2 ∞ |wk (0)| = +∞. It is interesting to note that w (z) = {wk (z)}k=0 is a holok=0

morphic solution of Equation (1.1) outside the disk |z − 1| ≤ 1. An additional point to make is that in this example, Equation (1.1) has no diﬀerentiable solution on the semiaxis [0, +∞) at all. In the next theorem, we consider Equation (1.1) with an arbitrary quasinilpotent operator and impose stronger conditions on the function f . Theorem 2.6. Let A : E → E be a bounded quasinilpotent linear operator and ∞ 0 f (z) = bn z n , bn ∈ E, be an entire function of exponential type. Then Equation n=0

(1.1) has a unique entire solution of the exponential type which is at most as that of f . Proof. Let the exponential type of the function f be equal to σ. Then for any ε1 > 0 there exists N > 0 such that n! bn < (σ + ε1 )n for all n > N (see [1], Appendix B and [3], Chapter I, Problem 22). Since A is quasinilpotent, for an 1 arbitrary ε2 satisfying the inequality 0 < ε2 < σ+ε there exists C > 0 such that 1 n n A < Cε2 for all n ∈ N. Let us show that a solution of Equation (1.1) can be ∞ ∞ 0 0 1 found in the form w(z) = cn z n with cn = n! s!As−n bs . For this purpose, n=0

Hence, the coeﬃcients cn are deﬁned correctly whenever n > N . Now, we set: cN = (N + 1)AcN +1 + bN , cN −1 = N AcN + bN −1 , ... c0 = Ac1 + b0 . It is easy to check that the equality cn = 0, 1, . . . , N . Since cn ≤

(σ + ε1 )n C n = σ + ε1 . lim n! cn ≤ lim n n→∞ n→∞ 1 − ε2 (σ + ε1 )

Since ε1 is arbitrary, lim n n! cn ≤ σ. Thus, the inequality for the exponential n→∞ ∞ 1 0 type of w(z) is proved. Since cn = n! s!As−n bs for all n ≥ 0, it is not diﬃcult s=n

to see that the coeﬃcients bn and cn satisfy the equality (n + 1)Acn+1 + bn = cn . Thus, by Lemma 2.1, the function w(z) satisﬁes Equation (1.1). Let us prove the uniqueness of this solution. Let w(z) be a solution of the homogeneous Equation n (1.1). Then ck = (n+k)! k! A cn+k (see (2.2) in Lemma 2.1) and J

Example (2). Let E be a Hilbert space with an orthonormalized basis {ek }k=0 . Consider the a weighted shift operator A such that Ae0 = 0, Aek = k1 ek−1 for all k ≥ 1. It is obvious that the operator A is a bounded quasinilpotent operator with ∞ 1 An = n! . In the basis {ek }k=0 , A is given by the matrix ⎞ ⎛ 0 1 0 0 ... 1/ 0 ⎜ 0 0 ... ⎟ 2 ⎟ ⎜ ⎝ 0 1 0 0 /3 . . . ⎠ ... ... ... ... ...

Since Ae0 = 0, Equation (1.1) is degenerate. If w(z) =

then this equation transforms into the following inﬁnite system of scalar diﬀerential equations: ⎧ w1 (z) + f0 (z) = w0 (z) ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ 1 w (z) + f (z) = w (z) ⎨ 1 1 2 2 ⎪ 1 ⎪ ⎪ w3 (z) + f2 (z) = w2 (z) ⎪ ⎪ ⎪3 ⎩ ... According to Theorem 2.6, for an arbitrary sequence of entire functions ∞ 0 {fk (z)}∞ |fk (z)|2 ≤ C1 e2σ|z| for some C1 > 0, σ > 0 and all k=0 such that n=0

z ∈ C, this system has a unique solution {wk (z)}k=0 consisting of the entire functions for which ∞ 2 |wk (z)| ≤ C2 e2σ|z| , z ∈ C. n=0

Using the approach to the proofs of Theorem 2.4 and Theorem 2.6, we can obtain two more propositions related to the case where f is an entire function. Theorem 2.7. Let A : E → E be a bounded quasinilpotent linear operator with

n lim n! An < +∞ and f be an E-valued entire function. Then Equation n→∞

(1.1) has a unique entire solution. Theorem 2.8. Let A : E → E be an arbitrary bounded linear operator and f be an E-valued entire function. If f is a function of zero exponential type (i.e., for every ε > 0 we conclude that f (z) ≤ Cε eε|z| for some Cε > 0), then Equation (1.1) has a unique entire solution of zero exponential type.

Groups of Operators for Evolution Equations of Quantum Many-particle Systems V.I. Gerasimenko Abstract. The aim of this work is to study the properties of groups of operators for evolution equations of quantum many-particle systems, namely, the von Neumann hierarchy for correlation operators, the BBGKY hierarchy for marginal density operators and the dual BBGKY hierarchy for marginal observables. We show that the concept of cumulants (semi-invariants) of groups of operators for the von Neumann equations forms the basis of the expansions for one-parametric families of operators of various evolution equations for inﬁnitely many particles.

1. Introduction Recently we observe signiﬁcant progress in the study of the evolution equations of quantum many-particle systems [2], [3]. In particular it is involved in such fundamental problem as the rigorous derivation of quantum kinetic equations [4]–[9]. The construction of solutions of such equations is based on the theory of diﬀerential equations in Banach spaces (in particular, the theory of semigroups of operators [18], [13]). In the case of evolution equations with coeﬃcients which are bounded operators, ﬁrst results on the well-posed solvability and also the foundation of the stability theory in the inﬁnite-dimensional Banach space was established by M. Krein [1]. As is well known, there are various possibilities to describe the evolution of quantum many-particle systems [2]. The sequence of the von Neumann equations This work was partially supported by the WTZ grant No M/124 (UA 04/2007) and by the project of NAS of Ukraine No 0107U002333.

for density operators [3], [11], the von Neumann hierarchy for correlation operators [23], the BBGKY hierarchy for marginal density operators [11] and the dual BBGKY hierarchy for marginal observables [2] give the equivalent approaches for the description of the evolution of ﬁnitely many particles. Papers [23]–[27] constructed the one-parametric families of operators that deﬁne solutions of the Cauchy problem for these evolution equations. It was established that the concept of cumulants (semi-invariants) of groups of operators for the von Neumann equations forms the basis of the one-parametric families of operators of various evolution equations of quantum systems of particles, in particular, the BBGKY hierarchy for inﬁnitely many particles [23]. The aim of the paper is to investigate properties of groups of operators for evolution equations of quantum many-particle systems related with their cumulant structure on suitable Banach spaces. In the beginning we will formulate some necessary facts about the description of quantum many-particle systems. Let a sequence f = I, f1 , . . . , fn , . . . is an inﬁnite sequence of self-adjoint M ⊗n operators fn (I is a unit operator) deﬁned on the Fock space FH = ∞ n=0 H 0 over the Hilbert space H (H = C). Operators fn deﬁned in the n-particle Hilbert space Hn = H⊗n we will denote by fn (1, . . . , n). For a system of identical particles obeying Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics, one has fn (1, . . . , n) = fn (i1 , . . . , in ) if {i1 , . . . , in } ∈ {1, . . . , n}. M∞ n 1 1 Let n=0 α L (Hn ) be the space of sequences f = I, f1 , . . . , Lα (FH ) = fn , . . . of trace class operators fn = fn (1, . . . , n) ∈ L1 (Hn ), satisfying the abovementioned symmetry condition, equipped with the trace norm f L1α (FH ) =

where α > 1 is a real number, Tr1,...,n is the partial trace over 1, . . . , n particles. We will denote by L1α,0 the everywhere dense set in L1α (FH ) of ﬁnite sequences of degenerate operators [14] with inﬁnitely diﬀerentiable M∞ kernels with compact supports. We will also consider the space L1 (FH ) = n=0 L1 (Hn ). We note that the sequences of operators fn ∈ L1 (Hn ), n ≥ 1, whose kernels are known as density matrices [12] deﬁned on the n-particle Hilbert space Hn = H⊗n = L2 (Rνn ), describe the states of a quantum system of non-ﬁxed number of particles. The space L1 (FH ) contains sequences of operators more general than those determining the states of systems. The evolution of all possible states of quantum systems is described by the initial-value problem to the von Neumann equation [10], [11]. A solution of such Cauchy problem is deﬁned by the following one-parametric family of operators on L1 (FH ) R1 t → G(−t)f := U(−t)f U −1 (−t),

An observable of ﬁnitely many quantum particles is a sequence of self-adjoint operators from Lγ (FH ) and positive normalized continuous linear functional (1.5) on the space of observables is interpreted as its mean value [13]. The case of the unbounded observables can be reduced to the case under consideration [10]. The evolution of observables is described by the initial-value problem to the Heisenberg equation (the dual von Neumann equation) [10], [11]. On L(FH ) a solution of the Cauchy problem to the Heisenberg equation is deﬁned the following one-parametric family of operators [10] R1 t → G(t)g := U(t)gU −1 (t),

where U(t) = n=0 Un (t) and the operators Un (t), Un−1 (t) are deﬁned by formulas (1.2). Mapping G(t) (1.6) is adjoint (dual) to G(−t) (1.1). i We remark that the nature of notations (1.2) used for unitary groups e± tHn is related to the correspondence principle between quantum and classical systems [2] and is a consequence of the existence of two approaches to the description of the evolution of systems in the framework of observables or states. On the space Lγ (FH ) mapping (1.6) deﬁnes an isometric ∗-weak continuous group, i.e., one is a C0∗ -group. This group preserves the self-adjointness of operators. M∞ The inﬁnitesimal generator N = n=0 Nn of this group of operators is a closed operator for the ∗-weak topology and on its domain of the deﬁnition D(N ) ⊂ Lγ (FH ) which is the everywhere dense set for the ∗-weak topology it is deﬁned in the sense of the ∗-weak convergence of the space Lγ (FH ) by the formula w∗ − lim

The dual cumulants of the groups G(t) = n=0 Gn (t) (1.6) will be introduced in Section 4. For classical many-particle systems cumulants of evolution operators were introduced in [25], [26]. t→0

2. Group of operators for the von Neumann hierarchy The evolution of correlations of quantum ﬁnitely many particles is described by the von Neumann hierarchy for the correlation operators [23]. It is an equivalent approach for the description of the evolution of all possible states of quantum many-particle systems in comparison with the approach formulated above. In what follows we will use such abridged notations: Y ≡ (1, . . . , n) and YP ≡ (X1 , . . . , X|P| ) is a set whose elements are |P| mutually disjoint subsets

The strong continuity property of the group {At }t∈R over the parameter t ∈ R1 is a consequence of the strong continuity of group (1.1) of the von Neumann equation [10]. Indeed, according to identity (1.10) the following equality holds: (−1)|P |−1 (|P | − 1)! f|Xi | (Xi ) = fn (Y ). P: Y =

In view of the the fact that group {Gn (−t)}t∈R (1.1) is a strong continuous group, which implies that, for mutually disjoint subsets Xi ⊂ Y , if fn ∈ L10 (Hn ) ⊂ L1 (Hn ) in the sense of the norm convergence L1 (Hn ) there exists the limit G|Zk | (−t, Zk )fn − fn ) = 0. lim ( t→0

Thus if f ∈ L1 (FH ) we ﬁnally obtain lim At (f ) n − fn L1 (Hn ) = 0. t→0

We now construct the inﬁnitesimal generator N of group (2.1). Taking into account that for fn ∈ L10 (Hn ) equality (1.4) holds, let us diﬀerentiate the |P|thorder cumulant A|P| (t, YP ) for all ψn ∈ D(Hn ) ⊂ Hn in the sense of the point-bypoint convergence. According to equality (1.12) for |P| ≥ 2 we derive 1 lim A|P| (t, YP )fn ψn = (−1)|P |−1 (|P |−1)!

Thus for f ∈ L10 (FH ) ⊂ D(N) ⊂ L1 (FH ) in the sense of the norm convergence L1 (Hn ) we ﬁnally have > 1 > At (f ) n − fn − N(f ) n >L1 (Hn ) = 0. lim > t→0 t Example. We give an example which illustrates the structure of expansion (2.1). For the correlation operators f = 0, f1 (1), 0, . . . that is interpreted as satisfying the “chaos” property [2], we have n At (f ) n = An (t, 1, . . . , n) f1 (i),

n ≥ 1,

i.e., if at the initial instant there are no correlations in a system, the correlations generated by the dynamics of a system are completely governed by cumulants of groups (1.1). We now consider the structure of inﬁnitesimal generator (2.2) for a two-body interaction potential N(f ) n (Y ) = −Nn (Y )fn (Y ) (2) − Nint (i1 , i2 ) f|X1 | (X1 )f|X2 | (X2 ), + P: Y =X1

Y into two nonempty parts X1 and X2 and the operator Nint is deﬁned by formula (1.11). For classical systems this generator is an equivalent notation of the generator of the Liouville hierarchy [20] formulated in [21].

3. Group of operators for the quantum BBGKY hierarchy The evolution of all possible states both ﬁnitely and inﬁnitely many quantum particles is described by the initial-value problem to the BBGKY hierarchy for marginal density operators [11], [24]. For ﬁnitely many particles this hierarchy of equations is an equivalent to the von Neumann equation. We will use notations from the previous section. Since YP ≡ (X1 , . . . , X|P| ) then Y1 is the set consisting of one element of the partition P (|P| = 1) of the set Y ≡ (1, . . . , s). In this case for n ≥ 0 the (1 + n)th-order cumulant of operators (1.1) is deﬁned by the formula A1+n (t, Y1 , X\Y ) := (−1)|P|−1 (|P| − 1)! G|Xi | (−t, Xi ), (3.1) 0

On the space L1α (FH ) a solution of the initial-value problem to the BBGKY hierarchy is deﬁned by a one-parametric mapping [24] with the following properties.

Theorem 3.1. If f ∈ L1α (FH ) and α > e, then the one-parametric mapping R1 t → (U (t)f )s (Y ) :=

(3.2)

is a C0 -group. On the subspace L1α,0 ⊂ L1α (FH ) the inﬁnitesimal generator B = M∞ n=0 Bn of group (3.2) is deﬁned by the operator (s ≥ 1) (Bf )s (Y ) := −Ns (Y )fs (Y ) (3.3) s s ∞ 1 1 (k+n) Trs+1,...,s+n − Nint (i1 , . . . , ik , X\Y )fs+n (X), + k! n! n=1 k=1

(k+n)

where on L10 (Hs+n ) ⊂ L1 (Hs+n ) the operator Nint

is deﬁned by formula (1.11).

Proof. If f ∈ L1α (FH ) mapping (3.2) is deﬁned provided that α > e and the following estimate holds [24] U (t)f L1α (FH ) ≤ cα f L1α (FH ) , where cα = e2 (1 − αe )−1 is a constant. Similar to (2.4) this estimate comes out from the inequality for cumulant (3.1) A1+n (t)fs+n L1 (Hs+n ) ≤ n!en+2 fs+n L1 (Hs+n ) . The strong continuity property of the group U (t) over the parameter t ∈ R1 is a consequence of the strong continuity of group (1.1) of the von Neumann equation. We now construct an inﬁnitesimal generator of group (3.2). Taking into account that for fn ∈ L10 (Hn ) equality (1.4) holds, we diﬀerentiate the expression of cumulant (3.1) in the sense of the point-by-point convergence. According to equality (2.5) for n ≥ 1, we derive 1 lim A1+n (t, Y1 , X\Y )fs+n ψs+n t (|Z|+n) = − Nint (Z, s + 1, . . . , s + n)fs+n ψs+n t→0

Then taking into account formula (1.4) for n = 1 and equality (3.4) for group (3.2) we obtain 1 U (t)f s − fs ψs t ∞ 1 1 1 Trs+1,...,s+n lim A1+n (t, Y1 , X\Y )fs+n ψs = lim A1 (t, Y )fs − fs ψs + t→0 t t→0 t n! n=1

4. Group of operators for the quantum dual BBGKY hierarchy The evolution of marginal observables of both ﬁnitely and inﬁnitely many quantum particles is described by the initial-value problem to the dual BBGKY hierarchy. This hierarchy of equations is dual to the quantum BBGKY hierarchy in the sense of bilinear form (1.5) and for ﬁnitely many particles one is an equivalent to the Heisenberg equation (the dual von Neumann equation). For systems of classical particles the dual BBGKY hierarchy was examined in [2], [27], [25]. In this section we will use such abridged notations: Y ≡ (1, . . . , s), X ≡ Y \{j1 , . . . , js−n }. According to notations of section 2, the set (Y \X)1 consists of one element Y \X = (j1 , . . . , js−n ), i.e., the set (j1 , . . . , js−n ) is connected subset of the partition P (|P| = 1). In the case under consideration the dual cumulants A+ 1+n (t), n ≥ 0, of groups (1.6) are deﬁned by the formula (−1)|P|−1 (|P| − 1)! G|Xi | (t, Xi ), A+ 1+n t, (Y \X)1 , X := P: {(Y \X)1 ,X}=

On the space Lγ (FH ) the ∗-weak continuity property of the group U + (t) over the parameter t ∈ R1 is a consequence of the ∗-weak continuity of group (1.6) of the Heisenberg equation [10]. To construct an inﬁnitesimal generator of the group {U + (t)}t∈R we ﬁrstly diﬀerentiate the nth-term of expansion (4.2) in the sense of the point-by-point convergence of the space Lγ . If g ∈ D(N ) ⊂ Lγ (FH ) similar to equality (1.12) for (1 + n)th-order dual cumulant (4.1), n ≥ 1, we derive 1 (|Z|+n) t, (Y \X)1 , X gs−n (Y \X)ψs= Nint (Z, X)gs−n (Y \X)ψs lim A+ 1+n t→0 t Z ⊂ Y \X, Z = ∅

We now give examples of expansion (4.2) and inﬁnitesimal generator (4.3). The sequence g = 0, g1 (1), 0, . . . corresponds to the additive-type observable [27] and in this case expansion (4.2) for the group U + (t) get the form s (U + (t)g)s (Y ) = A+ g1 (j), s ≥ 1. s (t, 1, . . . , s) j=1

5. Conclusion The concept of cumulants (1.9) of groups (1.1) of the von Neumann equations forms the basis of group expansions for quantum evolution equations, namely, the von Neumann hierarchy for correlation operators [23], as well as the BBGKY hierarchy for s-particle density operators [24] and the dual BBGKY hierarchy [25]. In the case of quantum systems of particles obeying Fermi or Bose statistics groups (2.1), (3.2) and (4.2) have diﬀerent structures. The analysis of these cases will be given in a separate paper. In the paper [24] we discuss other representations of a group for the BBGKY hierarchy on the space L1α (FH ) and in [25] of a group for the dual BBGKY hierarchy of classical systems of particles. We have stated the properties of groups (2.1) and (3.2) on the space L1α (FH ) and dual group (4.2) on Lγ (FH ). To describe the evolution of inﬁnitely many

particles [2] it is necessary to deﬁne the one-parametric family of operators (3.2) on more general spaces than L1α (FH ), for example, on the space of sequences of bounded operators containing the equilibrium states [22]. For dual group (4.2) the problem lies in the deﬁnition of functional (1.5) for operators from the corresponding spaces. In both these cases every term of the corresponding expansions contains the divergent traces [2], [24], [27] and the analysis of such a question for quantum systems remains an open problem. On the space Lγ (FH ) one-parametric mapping (4.2) is not a strong continuous group. The group {U + (t)}t∈R of operators (4.2) deﬁned on the space Lγ (FH ) is dual to the strong continuous group {U (t)}t∈R of operators (3.2) for the BBGKY hierarchy deﬁned on the space L1α (FH ) and the fact that one is a C0∗ -group follows also from general theorems about properties of the dual semigroup [13], [17]. As mentioned above the group {G(−t)}t∈R of operators (1.1) preserves positivity [16], [18]. The same property must be valid for the group {U (t)}t∈R of operators (3.2) for the BBGKY hierarchy, but how to prove this property one is an open problem. We have constructed inﬁnitesimal generators (2.2), (3.3) on the subspace L1α,0 ⊂ L1α (FH ) and generator (4.3) on D(B+ ) ⊂ Lγ (FH ). The question of how to deﬁne the domains of the deﬁnition D(N), D(B) and D(B+ ) of corresponding generators (2.2), (3.3) and (4.3) is an open problem [13], [18].

Box-like Shells with Longitudinal Cracks V.A. Grishin, V.V. Reut and E.V. Reut Abstract. The problem of how to determine the stress state of an inﬁnite boxlike shell of rectangular proﬁle is solved. Two cracks are located on opposite sides of the shell and parallel to its edges. On applying a Fourier transform, the problem can be reduced to a system of two integral equations with respect to jumps at the corner of rotation and normal displacements of the crack edges. The system of integral equations is solved by the method of orthogonal polynomials. Dependence of the stress intensity factor on the length of cracks and the geometrical dimensions of the cross-sections of the shell is demonstrated. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 74K25; Secondary 74R10. Keywords. Box shell, plate, crack, stress intensity factor.

1. Preamble Thin-walled shells of a rectangular structure are used widely in construction, shipbuilding and mechanical engineering. In order to minimize the tedious details of research into plate construction as force elements of building mechanics, researchers have made various assumptions depending on types of loads and conditions of their fastenings. Among the ﬁrst papers in this direction, the intense condition of thin-walled cores of open and closed structures, we refer the reader to the related works of Vlasov, Ganilidze, Panovko, Kan, and Reyssner. Papkovich has applied the methods of plane elasticity theory to the study of box constructions. Thus he assumed that each plate is in a ﬂat intense condition and cooperates with adjoining plates only by tangential eﬀorts. Contrary to Papkovich, in papers of Smotrov and Fleyshman the problems were solved with only the basic assumption that the construction edges do not bend and play a role of rigid support. In a general statement or with the use of a minimum quantity of simplifying assumptions, problems on plate construction were solved by various numerical methods, among which are the following ones: variational-diﬀerence

method (method of conjugated gradients), method of ﬁnite elements, and the variational method of Kantorovich-Vlasov. The more diﬃcult problems for compound shell constructions, in view of actual conditions of their interaction, were solved by Mossakovsky and his disciples by the homogeneous solutions method. So in a paper of Musiyaki and Poshivalova, the matrix-vector method (based on a method of homogeneous solutions) is oﬀered to analyze the constructions of plate design, and the problem of a folded-plate construction is solved. In a paper of Mossakovsky and Poshivalova the results are given of a comparison of solutions for the problem of a thin-walled bar under constrained torsion to a method of homogeneous solution with Vlasovs results. In a paper of Mossakovsky and Kulikov the method of homogeneous solutions was applied to problems with dynamic loading. In paper [1] an account of the method of box-like shell constructions was oﬀered, and it reduced the problem to one about the joint planar-bend stress condition for a plate with defects, which role is played by the edges of a shell. The advantage of this method consists in 1) the number of necessary diﬀerential equations and conditions of the joint is twice reduced, and in 2) the solution methods for planar and bending problems for plates with defects now are well developed, and one can ﬁnd bibliographies in [5, 7]. In papers [2, 3] the problems of inclusion setting in box-like shells are solved by these methods. In paper [4] the problem of the stress state of a boxed shell with a crack on an shell edge is solved. In the present paper the problem of a longitudinal crack is studied.

2b x z Fig. 1 Let us consider a problem of the stress state of a box-like shell of inﬁnite length and rectangular structure, weakened by a pair of symmetric cracks (Fig. 1). We suppose that all plates of which the shell is made are of one material and have identical thickness h, Poisson factor ν, elasticity module E, and cylindrical rigidity D. Crack edges are loaded by the bending moments m (y) and planar stretching loadings σ (y). Loadings that inﬂuence the shell are symmetric with the planes

of symmetry of the shell and are such that the crack edges are not closed. By the method stated in [1], the problem is reduced to searching for a diﬀerential equations system solution: Δ2 w (x, y) = 0 Δ2 σx (x, y) = 0,

−a < x < b, x = 0, |y| < ∞

which satisfy the conditions on the shell edge v = τxy = ϕxy = Mxy = 0 u = −(w+ + w− ); w = u+ + u− σx = −h−1 [(Vx )+ + (Vy )− ]

(2.2)

Vx = h [(σx )+ + (σy )− ] and boundary conditions Vx = τxy = 0; Mx = m (y) ; σx = σ (y) ; x = −a, |y| < c Vx = ϕx = u = τxy = 0; x = −a, |y| > c Vx = ϕx = u = τxy = 0; x = b. Here u, v, w are the displacements along the axes with respect to x, y, z; ϕx , Mx , Vx , σx , τxy – the angle of turn, bending moment, generalized cross force, normal and tangential stresses. It is convenient to present the boundary conditions as: Vx = τxy = 0; ϕx = χ(y); u = μ(y), x = −a (2.3) Vx = ϕx = u = τxy = 0, x = b, where χ(y) and μ(y) – unknown functions on an interval |y| < c, equal to zero outside this interval– represent by themselves an angle of inclination and normal displacements of the crack edges. Without loss of generality, it is possible to consider that the necessary variable change in x results in both y and c = 1.After application of a Fourier transformation to elastic unknown values and loadings, similar to the way it was done in [1], and also to unknown functions χ(y) and μ(y), we get 1 χα =

Then we can write the solution of problem (2.9)–(2.11) in the form fα− (x) = χα R1− Gα (x, −a) + fq− − f3− T0− Gα + f0− T3− Gα ; fα+ (x) = μ(−α4 E)Gα (x, −a) + fq+ − f3+ T0+ Gα + f0+ T3+ Gα .

(2.12)

So, the stated problem is reduced to a system of integral equations (2.4) containing unknown functions χ(y) and μ(y), which represent the angle of inclination and normal displacements of the crack edges.

3. Construction of the approximate solution of the integral equations system Let us take advantage of the method of orthogonal polynomials [5] and search for a solution as the expansion of unknown functions into a series about some Chebychev polynomials of the second kind Uk (η) with the unknown coeﬃcients

∞ μk μ(η) 2 = 1−η Uk (η), |η| < 1. (3.1) χ(η) χk k=0

Let us substitute (3.1) into (2.4), and multiply each equation of this system by 1 − y 2 Un (y) and integrate by y on the interval (−1, 1). We take into consideration the spectral correspondence [5]: 1 d2 π dx2

. Then after simple transformations and permutation of the integration order in which we get expressions for Kij (y, η), we pass to an inﬁnite system of linear algebraic equations of the second kind which, by Poincar´e-Koch, are normal with respect to the coeﬃcients of expansion: ∞ μn μk σn (n + 1) + = , n = 0, ∞ A(k,n) (3.2) χn χk mn k=0

Thus kij (α), σ∗ (y), m∗ (y) are determined in (2.5)–(2.8) and Jk (α) is a Bessel function. Let us note that the procedure using the components of matrices A(k,n) is simpler in essential ways owing to block symmetry, which is easily seen by replacing n with k or vice versa. The calculation of integrals with respect to α is also simpler owing to an exponential decrease of the function under integration. The solution of inﬁnite algebraic system (3.2) allows us to determine all elastic unknown values, using the solution of a problem in transformations (2.9)–(2.11) in the form (2.12) and the convolution theorem, and also to estimate the intensity factor of plane k+ and bend k− stresses. Following [7], we shall understand the stress intensity factor k± to be the factor through which the main parts of stresses near the crack ends are expressed. By the main parts of stresses we mean the coeﬃcients of the singularities for stresses near to the crack ends. To obtain these main parts formulas it is enough to ﬁnd a limit with y → ±1 (|y| > 1) of the integrals ⎞ ⎛ 1 2

we can ﬁnd the stress intensity factors values and the main parts of the elastic values. The numerical solution of the stated problem (2.1)–(2.3), which was reduced to an inﬁnite system of linear algebraic equations (3.2), was obtained by a reduction method that eliminated four members of expansion for μ(y) and χ(y) in (3.1). And the loading, which inﬂuences the shell, undertook the role Of the bending moment of intensity m = const and planar normal stresses of intensity σ = const that applied to crack edges. Thus the stress intensity factors in both crack vertexes have identical values k± (±1) = k± and are connected with dimensionless coeﬃcients m σ k± , k± , which were calculated, by the following correspondences √ √ m 6m c σ ; k± = k± σ c. (3.3) k± = k± 2 h In Table 1 the values of stress intensity factors of plane and bend stresses (3.3) with a/b = 0, 5 for a diﬀerent ratio c/a are shown. Table 1 b/a

The results of calculations show that, under the action of bending loadings, m the intensity factors k− of bend stresses of some orders exceed the intensity factors σ of plane stresses k− ; and under the action of plane loadings the intensity factors m σ k+ of bend stresses on some orders are lower than the intensity factors k+ of plane stresses.

The Hamiltonian representation for the hierarchy of Lax-type ﬂows on a dual space to the Lie algebra of super-integro-diﬀerential operators of two anticommuting variables coupled with suitable eigenfunctions and adjoint eigenfunctions evolutions of associated spectral problems is obtained by means of a specially constructed Lie-Backlund transformation.

1. Introduction Since M. Adler’s paper [1], it has been understood that the Lax-type representations [2] for integrable (1+1)-dimensional nonlinear dynamical system hierarchies [3, 4, 5, 6, 7] on functional manifolds and their superanalogs [8, 9, 10] can be interpreted as Hamiltonian ﬂows on a dual space to the Lie algebra of integrodiﬀerential operators. Their Hamiltonian structures are given by the R-deformed canonical Lie-Poisson bracket and the corresponding Casimir functionals as Hamiltonians (see [1, 3, 11, 12, 10, 13]). Every Hamiltonian ﬂow of this type on a dual space to the operator Lie algebra can be written as the compatibility condition for the spectral relationship for the corresponding integro-diﬀerential operator and the suitable eigenfunction evolution. If the above spectral relationship admits of a ﬁnite set of eigenvalues, then

the important problem naturally arises how to ﬁnd the Hamiltonian representation for the hierarchy of Lax-type coupled with the evolutions of eigenfunctions and appropriate adjoint eigenfunctions. It was partly solved in papers [14, 15, 16, 17, 18] for the Lie algebra of integro-diﬀerential operators [1] and its supergeneralization [9, 10] for one anticommuting variable by means of the properties of variational Casimir functionals under some Lie-Backlund transformation. Section 2 deals with a general Lie-algebraic scheme for constructing the hierarchy of Lax-type ﬂows as Hamiltonian ones on a dual space to the Lie algebra of super-integro-diﬀerential operators [10] of two anticommuting variables. In Section 3, the Hamiltonian structure for the related coupled Lax-type hierarchy is obtained by means of the Lie-Backlund transformation technique developed in [14, 15, 16, 17]. In Section 4, the corresponding hierarchies of additional, so-called “ghost”, symmetries [14, 19, 20] for the coupled Lax-type ﬂows are established to be Hamiltonian as well. It is proved that the additional hierarchy of Hamiltonian ﬂows is generated by the Poisson structure being obtained from the tensor product of the R-deformed canonical Lie-Poisson bracket with the standard Poisson bracket on the related eigenfunctions and adjoint eigenfunctions superspace [14, 16, 17], and the corresponding natural powers of a suitable eigenvalue are their Hamiltonians. The relation of these hierarchies to Lax integrable (2|2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems and their triple Lax-type linearizations is analyzed in Section 5.

2. The general Lie-algebraic scheme Let G be the Lie algebra of super-integro-diﬀerential operators [10] of two anticommuting variables θ1 and θ2 , for which θi2 = 0, i = 1, 2: aj ∂ j ∈ G, j ∈ Z, m ∈ N, (2.1) l := ∂ m + j<m−1

i = 1, 2.

Here p(u) is the parity of u, equal to 0 for an even u and 1 for an odd u.

where the resDθ1 Dθ2 -operation is given for all a ∈ G by the expression resDθ1 Dθ2 a := a2,−1 . With the use of the scalar product (2.2), the Lie algebra G is transformed into a metrizable one. As a consequence, its dual linear space of super-integro-diﬀerential operators G ∗ is identiﬁed with the Lie algebra G, that is, G ∗ , G. The linear subspaces G+ ⊂ G and G− ⊂ G such as ⎧ ⎫ m−1 ⎨ ⎬ aj ∂ j : j = 0, m − 1 , G+ := a := ∂ m + ⎩ ⎭ j=0 + N ∞ bk ∂ −k : k ∈ N , (2.3) G− := b := k>0

where aj , j = 0, m − 1, and bk , k ∈ N, are smooth superfunctions of two anticommuting variables θi , i = 1, 2, form Lie subalgebras in G and G = G+ ⊕ G− . Due to the splitting of G into the direct sum of its Lie subalgebras (2.3), one can construct a Lie-Poisson structure [1, 3, 12, 13] on G ∗ by using a special linear endomorphism R of the linear space G: R := (P+ − P− )/2 ,

P± G := G± , P± G∓ = 0.

For any Fr´echet-smooth functionals γ, μ ∈ D(G ∗ ), the Lie-Poisson bracket on G ∗ is given by the expression {γ, μ}R (l) = (l, [∇γ(l), ∇μ(l)]R ) ,

(2.4)

where l ∈ G ∗ and for all a, b ∈ G, the R-deformed commutator [1, 3, 4, 12, 13] [a, b]R := [Ra, b] + [a, Rb] satisﬁes the modiﬁed Yang-Baxter relationship: 1 [a, b]. 4 The linear space G with the commutator (2.5) also becomes a Lie algebra. R[a, b]R − [Ra, Rb] =

The gradient ∇γ(l) ∈ G of some functional γ ∈ D(G ∗ ) at a point l ∈ G ∗ with respect to the scalar product (2.2) is naturally deﬁned as δγ(l) := (∇γ(l), δl) , the linear space isomorphism G , G ∗ being taken into account. Every Casimir functional γ ∈ I(G ∗ ), being invariant with respect to the Ad∗ action of the abstract Lie group G corresponding to the Lie algebra G, obeys the following condition at a point l ∈ G ∗ : [l, ∇γ(l)] = 0.

(2.6)

The relationship (2.6) is satisﬁed by the hierarchy of functionals γn ∈ I(G ∗ ), n ∈ Z+ , taking the form 1 (l1/m , ln/m ). (2.7) n+1 The Lie-Poisson bracket (2.4) generates the following hierarchy of Hamiltonian dynamical systems on G ∗ : γn (l) =

dl/dtn := [R∇γn (l), l] = [(∇γn (l))+ , l],

(2.8)

where the subscript “+” denotes the diﬀerential part of the corresponding superintegro-diﬀerential operator, and the Casimir functionals (2.7) are their Hamiltonians. The latter equation is equivalent to the commutator Lax-type representation. It is easy to verify that for every n ∈ Z+ the relationship (2.8) is the compatibility condition for such linear super-integro-diﬀerential equations: lf = λf,

(2.9)

df /dtn = (∇γn (l))+ f,

(2.10)

and where λ ∈ C is a spectral parameter, f ∈ W 1|0 := L∞ (S × Λ1 ; C1|0 ) if f is an even superfunction, and f ∈ W 0|1 := L∞ (S × Λ1 ; C0|1 ) if f is an odd one. The related to (2.10) dynamical system for the adjoint superfunction f ∗ takes the form df ∗ /dtn = −(∇γn (l))∗+ f ∗ , (2.11) where either (f, f ∗ ) ∈ W 2|0 or (f, f ∗ ) ∈ W 0|2 , and the superfunction f ∗ is a solution of the adjoint spectral problem l∗ f ∗ = νf ∗ with a spectral parameter ν ∈ C. Further, we will assume that the spectral relationship (2.9) admits of N ∈ N diﬀerent eigenvalues λi ∈ C, i = 1, N, and will study the Lie-algebraic properties of the equation (2.8) combined with 2N ∈ N copies of (2.10), dfi /dtn = (∇γn (l))+ fi , dΦi /dtn = (∇γn (l))+ Φi ,

for the even fi ∈ W 1|0 and odd Φi ∈ W 0|1 eigenfunctions, and with the same number of copies of (2.11), dfi∗ /dtn = −(∇γn (l))∗+ fi∗ , dΦ∗i /dtn = −(∇γn (l))∗+ Φ∗i ,

for the suitable even fi∗ ∈ W 0|1 and odd Φ∗i ∈ W 1|0 adjoint eigenfunctions related to N ∈ N diﬀerent eigenvalues νi ∈ C, i = 1, N. The equations (2.8), (2.12), and (2.13) are considered as a coupled evolution system on the extended phase space G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N .

3. The Poisson bracket on the extended phase space To give the description below a compact form, we will designate the left gradient ˜ i, Φ ˜ ∗ ) ∈ vector of any smooth functional γ ∈ D(G ∗ ⊕W 2N |2N ) at a point (˜l, f˜i , f˜i∗ , Φ i ∗ 2N |2N , i = 1, N, as G ⊕W δγ δγ δγ δγ δγ ∗ ∗ ˜ i, Φ ˜ i ) := ∇γ(˜l, f˜i , f˜i , Φ , , , . , ˜ i δΦ ˜∗ δ˜ l δ f˜i δ f˜∗ δ Φ i

On the spaces G ∗ and W N ⊕ W ∗N , there exist, respectively, the Lie-Poisson structure [1, 3, 12, 13] such as ˜ δγ δγ ϑ δγ/δ l˜ :→ ˜l, − ˜l, , (3.1) δ˜ l + δ ˜l + where ϑ˜ : T ∗ (G ∗ ) → T (G ∗ ) is an implectic operator related to the bracket (2.4) at a point ˜l ∈ G ∗ , and the canonical Poisson structure [22, 23, 24] such as ⎛ ⎛ ⎞ ⎞ δγ δγ ⎜ δ f˜∗ ⎟ ⎜ δ f˜ ⎟ i ⎟ ⎜ ⎜ ⎟ i ⎜ ⎜ δγ ⎟ ⎟ ⎜ − δγ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ δ f˜∗ ⎟ J˜ ⎜ δ f˜i ⎟ ⎜ ⎜ ⎟, i ⎟ (3.2) ⎜ δγ ⎟ :→ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ − δγ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ δΦ ⎜ δΦ ⎟ ˜∗ ⎟ ⎜ ⎜ ˜i ⎟ i ⎟ ⎝ ⎝ δγ ⎠ δγ ⎠ − ˜∗ ˜i δΦ δΦ i where J˜ : T ∗ (W 2N |2N ) → T (W 2N |2N ) is an implectic operator related to the even 0N ˜ ∗ ∧ dΦ ˜ i ) at a point (f˜i , f˜∗ , Φ, ˜ Φ ˜ ∗ ) ∈ symplectic form ω (2) = i=1 (df˜i∗ ∧ df˜i − dΦ i i i W 2N |2N , i = 1, N . It should be noted that the Poisson structure (3.1) generates the equation (2.8) for any Casimir functional γ ∈ I(G ∗ ). Thus, on the extended phase space G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N , one can obtain a Poisson structure as the tensor product L˜ := ϑ˜ ⊗ J˜ of (3.1) and (3.2).

The main condition imposed on the mapping (3.3) is the coincidence of the resulting dynamical system ⎛ ⎞ l ⎜ fi ⎟ ⎟ d ⎜ ⎜ fi∗ ⎟ := −L∇γ n (l, fi , fi∗ , Φi , Φ∗i ) (3.4) ⎜ dtn ⎝ Φ ⎟ i ⎠ Φ∗i with the equations (2.8), (2.12) and (2.13) in the case where γ n ∈ I(G ∗ ), n ∈ N, are independent of the variables (fi , fi∗ , Φi , Φ∗i ) ∈ W 2N |2N , i = 1, N. To satisfy this condition, we ﬁnd the variation of some Casimir functional γ n := γn |l=l(˜l,f˜i ,f˜∗ ,Φ˜ i ,Φ˜ ∗ ) ∈ D(G ∗ × W 2N |2N ), n ∈ N, under the constraint δ ˜l = 0, i i taking into account the evolutions (2.12), (2.13) and the Backlund transformation (3.3).

The expression (3.8) generalizes the results obtained in papers [15, 16, 17] for the Lie algebra of integro-diﬀerential operators and for its supergeneralization [14] for one anticommuting variable. The existence of the Backlund transformation (3.8) ensures the validity of the following theorem. Theorem 3.1. Under the Backlund transformation (3.8), the dynamical system (3.4) on G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N is equivalent to the following system of evolution equations: # $ # $ d˜l = (∇γ n (˜l))+ , ˜l − ∇γ n (˜l), ˜l , dtn + df˜i δγ n df˜i∗ δγ n =− ∗ , = , dtn dtn δ f˜i δ f˜i

where B : T (G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N ) → T (G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N ) is the Fr´echet derivative of (3.8), one ﬁnds easily the following form of the Poisson structure L on G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N : ⎛ ⎞ δγ δγ l, − l, ⎜ ⎟ δl + δl + ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ N ⎜ ⎟ δγ ⎜ −1 δγ −1 ∗ ⎟ −fi Dθ1 Dθ2 + ∗ Dθ 1 Dθ 2 fi ⎟ ⎜ + ⎜ ⎟ δfi δfi i=1 ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ −Φi Dθ1 D−1 δγ − δγ Dθ1 D−1 Φ∗i ⎟ θ2 θ2 ∗ ⎜ ⎟ δΦi δΦ ⎜ ⎟ i ⎟ ∗ ∗ L ⎜ δγ δγ ∇γ(l, fi , fi , Φi , Φi ) → ⎜ ⎟ , (3.9) + f i ⎜ ⎟ ∗ δf δl ⎜ ⎟ i +∗ ⎜ ⎟ δγ δγ ⎜ ⎟ ∗ − − fi ⎜ ⎟ δfi δl ⎜ ⎟ + ⎜ ⎟ δγ δγ ⎜ ⎟ ⎜ ⎟ − ∗+ Φi ⎜ ⎟ δΦi δl + ⎜ ⎟ ∗ ⎝ ⎠ δγ δγ ∗ − − Φ δΦi δl + i where i = 1, N, (l, fi , fi∗ , Φi , Φ∗i ) ∈ G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N , and γ ∈ D(G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N ) is an arbitrary smooth functional. Thereby, one can formulate the following theorem. Theorem 3.2. The hierarchy of dynamical systems (2.8), (2.12) and (2.13) is a Hamiltonian one with respect to the Poisson structure L in the form (3.9) and the functionals γ n := γn ∈ I(G ∗ ), n ∈ N, which are Casimir invariants on G ∗ . Based on the expression (3.4), one can construct a new hierarchy of Hamiltonian evolution equations describing commutative ﬂows generated on the extended phase space G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N by Casimir invariants γn ∈ I(G ∗ ), n ∈ N, involutive with respect to the Lie-Poisson bracket (2.4). The evolution equation hierarchy of this type associated with a super-integro-diﬀerential operator of two anticommuting variables in the form (2.1) with m = 1 was obtained in [25].

4. The additional symmetry hierarchies The hierarchy (2.8), (2.12) and (2.13) of evolution equations possesses another natural set of invariants that includes all higher powers of the eigenvalues λk ,

the formula (4.1) gives rise to the following variation of the functionals λsk ∈ D(G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N ), k = 1, N: δλsk = δfk∗ , ls fk + fk∗ , ls (δfk ) + δΦ∗k , ls Φk + −Φ∗k , ls (δΦk ) + fk∗ , (δls )fk + −Φ∗k , (δls )Φk N 7 8 s δfi , (−Mks + δki ls )∗ fi∗ = (δl+ , Mk ) + i=1

Thereby, one can formulate the following theorem: Theorem 4.1. For every k = 1, N and s ∈ N, the dynamical systems (4.5) and (4.4) are Hamiltonian ones with respect to the Poisson structure L in the form (3.9) and the invariant functionals γ s := λsk ∈ D(G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N ). Theorem 4.2. The dynamical systems (4.5) and (4.4) describe ﬂows on G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N commuting both with each other and with the hierarchy of Lax-type dynamical systems (2.8), (2.12) and (2.13). Proof. To prove the latter theorem, it is suﬃcient to show that [d/dtn , d/dτ1,k ] = 0,

[d/dτ1,k , d/dτ1,q ] = 0,

(4.6)

where k, q = 1, N and n ∈ N. The ﬁrst equality in the formula (4.6) follows from the identities d(∇γn (l))+ /dτ1,k = [(∇γn (l))+ , M11 ]+ , dM 1 /dtn = [(∇γn (ˆl))+ , M 1 ]− , 1

and the second one is a consequence of the relationship dMk1 /dτ1,q − dMq1 /dτ1,k = [Mk1 , Mq1 ].

Thus, for every k = 1, N and all s ∈ N, the dynamical systems (4.5) and (4.4) on G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N form a hierarchy of additional homogeneous symmetries for the Lax-type ﬂows (2.8), (2.12) and (2.13) on G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N . It was the work [19] where, for the ﬁrst time, the additional symmetry hierarchies for Lax integrable (1|1 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems associated with the Lie algebra of super-integro-diﬀerential operators of one anticommuting variable were described as commutator-type ﬂows. They were also used to construct integrable (2|1 + 1)-dimensional dynamical systems in [14, 20]. The additional symmetry hierarchies for the integrable (2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems on the dual space to the centrally extended Lie algebra of matrix integro-diﬀerential operators were obtained in [18].

Acting on the eigenfunctions (fi , fi∗ , Φi , Φ∗i ) ∈ W 2N |2N , i = 1, N, these ﬂows generate Lax integrable (1|2+1)-dimensional supersymmetric nonlinear dynamical systems.

Lax Integrable Supersymmetric Hierarchies

When f1 := ψ, f1∗ := −θ1 θ2 ψ ∗ , f2 = f2∗ = 0, and Φ1 = Φ∗1 = Φ2 = Φ∗2 = 0, the equations (5.2), (5.4), (5.6), and (5.10) are reduced to the Lax integrable (2 + 1)dimensional Davey-Stewartson system [26, 3]: ψT = ψxx + ψτ τ + 2(S − 2ψψ ∗ )ψ, ∗ − ψτ∗τ − 2(S − 2ψψ ∗ )ψ ∗ , ψT∗ = −ψxx

Sxτ = (∂/∂x + ∂/∂τ )2 ψψ ∗ , 0 0 + 4ψψ ∗ , w0 := w00 , v1,τ := v1,τ , and ψ, ψ ∗ ∈ L∞ (S1 ; C). where 2S := w00 + 2v1,τ Therefore, the Lax integrable (2|2 + 1)-dimensional supersymmetric generalization of the Davey-Stewartson system [3, 26] is obtained above by using additional symmetry hierarchies for the Lax integrable (1|2 + 1)-dimensional nonlinear dynamical systems associated with the Lie algebra of super-integro-diﬀerential operators of two anticommuting variables. The method of additional symmetries, developed above, is eﬃcient in constructing a wide class of (2|2+1)-dimensional supersymmetric nonlinear dynamical systems with triple Lax-type linearization. The latter makes it possible to ﬁnd soliton type solutions of constructed systems via the binary Darboux-Backlund transformations [27, 28].

6. Conclusion The above-constructed Lie-Backlund transformation (3.8) on the dual space G ∗ to the Lie algebra G of super-integro-diﬀerential operators of two anticommuting variables allows one to establish that the coupled dynamical systems (2.8), (2.12) and (2.13) on the extended phase space G ∗ ⊕W 2N |2N are Hamiltonian with respect to the Poisson structure obtained from the tensor product of two canonical Poisson structures and the corresponding Casimir functionals are their Hamiltonians. By means of the Lie-Backlund transformation (3.8), it is shown that the obtained Poisson structure and natural powers of suitable eigenvalues of associated spectral and adjoint spectral problems generate a set of additional symmetry hierarchies for the dynamical systems (2.8), (2.12) and (2.13). It should be noted that the structure of the Lie-Backlund transformation (3.8) strongly depends on the ad-invariant scalar product chosen for an operator Lie algebra G and on the Lie algebra decomposition [10]. Since there exist other possibilities of choosing ad-invariant scalar products on G, such decompositions naturally give rise to other Lie-Backlund transformations. A new method for constructing integrable (2|2 + 1)-dimensional dynamical systems with triple Lax-type linearizations arising as Hamiltonian ﬂows on the extended phase space G ∗ ⊕ W 2N |2N is represented. Due to the triple Lax-type linearizations, their soliton type solutions can be found by means of the DarbouxBacklund transformations [27, 28]. For the multi-dimensional supersymmetric dynamical systems of this type, the reduction procedure [3, 5, 29] upon nonlocal invariant subspaces can be developed as well.

On the Modiﬁed Spectral Stefan Problem and Its Abstract Generalizations N.D. Kopachevsky and V.I. Voytitsky The paper is dedicated to brothers Mark and Selim Kreins

Abstract. The aim of this work is to study the properties of the multi-component spectral problem generated by the linearized modiﬁed Stefan problem. On the basis of the abstract Green’s formula for a triple of Hilbert spaces, proved by N.Kopachevsky and S.Krein, an abstract generalization of the spectral problem is considered. Studying auxiliary abstract boundary value problems and properties of the corresponding operators, we prove that the spectrum consists of real normal eigenvalues and that the system of eigenelements forms an orthonormal basis in some Hilbert space. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 35P05; Secondary 35P10. Keywords. Spectral problem, abstract Green’s formula, Hilbert space, embedding of spaces, compact self-adjoint operator, normal eigenvalues, orthonormal basis.

1. Introduction The Stefan problem is a mathematical model for description of phase transitions from one aggregate state to another. The problem belongs to a class of nonlinear boundary value problems where the temperature of the substance and the form of the unknown dynamic interphase boundary are to be found. In the classical statement of the Stefan problem, the boundary is determined by the Stefan condition and the fact that the temperature of the substance is equal to the melting temperature (see, e.g., [1]). In the late 80ies of the last century, a more precise statement of the mathematical model for phase transitions was considered in a number of works (see, e.g., [2]–[4]). The kinetic, or so-called Hibbs-Thomson, law for the interphase boundary was used. The corresponding nonlinear problem came to be called the modiﬁed Stefan problem.

N.D. Kopachevsky and V.I. Voytitsky

In nonlinear problems, the method of reduction of the problem to the study of model initial-boundary value problems is usually used. At the same time, the properties of a nonlinear boundary value problem are essentially determined by the properties of solutions of the model problems. This fact stimulates us to consider new linear spectral problems generated by the modiﬁed Stefan problem. In this paper, we study the abstract spectral problem generated by the modiﬁed Stefan problem with the Hibbs-Thomson conditions from [5] (see also [6] and [7]). Using the abstract Green’s formula for a mixed boundary value problem, proved by N. Kopachevsky (see [8], [9]), and studying the operators of auxiliary boundary value problems, we prove the basis property of the system of eigenelements and some properties of the spectrum. More precisely, we show that: the spectrum consists of real normal eigenvalues; there exists a branch of positive eigenvalues with a unique limit point +∞, a ﬁnite or an inﬁnite number of negative eigenvalues and, possibly, zero-eigenvalue. The present paper continues the investigations [10], [11] and [9].

2. On the modiﬁed and model Stefan problems In [5] (see also [6]), the following statement of the modiﬁed Stefan problem is considered. It is necessary to ﬁnd the unknown ﬁelds of temperature uj (x, t) (j = 1, 2), given in time-varying domains Ωj (t) ⊂ Rm (Ω1 (t) ⊂ Ω2 (t)), and the unknown interphase boundary Γ(t) if these functions satisfy the equations ∂uj − ∇(Aj (x, t)∇uj ) = fj ∂t the boundary conditions

j = 1, 2,

uj = −σ(x, t)K(x, t) − (x, t)σ(x, t)Vn

(on ∂Ω2 (t) \ Γ(t)),

j = 1, 2;

(2.3) (2.4)

and the initial values uj |t=0 = ϕ0j

(in Ωj (0)), j = 1, 2.

(2.5)

Here: l0 > 0 is the latent heat of crystallization; nt is the unit normal to Γ(t) (outward to the Ω1 (t)); Vn is the velocity of Γ(t) in the direction of nt ; σ(x, t) > 0 is the surface tension; K(x, t) is the mean curvature of Γ(t) at point (x, t); (x, t) > 0 or ≡ 0 is a relaxation parameter. We also assume that the coeﬃcients ajkl (x, t) of the matrices Aj (x, t) satisfy the condition of ellipticity: 0 < c0j ≤

ajkl (x, t)ξk ξl ≤ c−1 0j ,

t ∈ [0, T0 ], ξ ∈ Rm , |ξ| = 1,

j = 1, 2.

(2.6) In the above statement, (2.2) is the Stefan condition, and (2.3) is determined by the Hibbs-Thomson law.

On the Modiﬁed Spectral Stefan Problem

By using some additional conditions, it is proved in [5] that problem (2.1)– (2.5) has a unique classical solution on a suﬃciently small [0, T ], T < T0 . This fact is established by reducing the problem to answering the question whether the model linear problem ∂uj − aj (P )Δuj = 0 ∂t 2 ∂ζ ∂uj + (−1)j aj (P ) = g1 l0 ∂t j=1 ∂n1 ∂ζ = g2 ∂t ζ|t=0 = 0,

In [5], problem (2.7)–(2.10) is considered in the half-spaces Rjm := {x ∈ Rm : (−1)j xm > 0}, j = 1, 2, divided by the hyperplane Γ0 := {x ∈ Rm : xm = 0}. Here, besides the functions uj (t, x), there is a new unknown function ζ(t, x), x ∈ Γ0 , in the boundary conditions. It determines small movements of Γ(0). For each P ∈ Γ(0), the values aj (P ) and σ(P ) are positive constants, the constant α(P ) := (P )σ(P ) ≥ 0, and β(P ) :=

m−1 ∂ 2 ϕ0j (P ) − σ(P )K0k (P ) ∂n0

is of R. In (2.11), K0k (P ), k = 1, . . . , m − 1, are the principal curvatures of Γ(0) at the point P . In [5] (see also [6]), it is proved that in the case β(P ) > 0 for any P ∈ Γ(0), problem (2.7)–(2.10) is a well-posed Cauchy problem. The properties of corresponding spectral problem, considered in this paper, support this assertion.

3. Statement of the multi-component modiﬁed spectral Stefan problem Let us consider problem (2.7)–(2.10) for a set of bounded jointed domains Ωj ∈ Rm (j = 1, q := 1, . . . , q) with Lipshitz boundaries Γj := ∂Ωj . We also assume that aj (P ) ≡ σ(P ) ≡ 1, l0 = 1. Denote by Γjj (j = 1, q) the free part of Γj , and by Γjk (k = 1, q) that part of the boundary of Ωj , that is jointed with the boundary of Ωk (k = j). Obviously, Γjk = Γkj . If Ωj and Ωk are not jointed, then we assume that mes Γjk = 0. Suppose that Γjk is a smooth (m − 1)-dimensional measurable manifold with boundary.

N.D. Kopachevsky and V.I. Voytitsky So, we can formulate the following linear multi-component transmission prob-

Here: uj (x, t), x ∈ Ωj , and ζjk (x, t), x ∈ Γjk , are unknown functions; γjk uj := uj Γ , k > j; jk

(3.8)

∂/∂njk are normal derivatives; ΔΓjk are the Laplace-Beltrami operators acting in the smooth manifolds Γjk ; αjk ≥ 0 and βjk ≥ 0 are given constants; u0j = 0 0 = ζjk (x), x ∈ Γjk , are given functions. We also suppose u0j (x), x ∈ Ωj , and ζjk that mes Γjj > 0. Let us ﬁnd normal solutions to the homogeneous problem corresponding to (3.1)–(3.7): uj (x, t) = uj (x)e−λt , ζjk (x, t) = ζjk (x)e

We will call this problem the multi-component modiﬁed spectral Stefan problem. Here Bjk are linear self-adjoint operators acting in L2 (Γjk ): Bjk ζjk := −ΔΓjk ζjk + βjk ζjk ,

D(Bjk ) = {ζjk (x) ∈ H 2 (Γjk ) : ζjk |∂Γjk = 0}. (3.16) It is known that the spectrum of any Bjk consists of real normal eigenvalues with a limit point +∞. For any βjk ∈ R, the operator Bjk is bounded below. It can have no more than a ﬁnite number of non-positive eigenvalues (taking into account their multiplicities).

4. Statement of the abstract spectral problem Let us consider the abstract generalization of problem (3.11)–(3.15) on the basis of the abstract Green’s formula for mixed boundary value problems (see [8] and [9]). So, let Ej , Fj and Gj , j = 1, q, be given Hilbert spaces satisfying the following conditions: (i) any Fj is boundedly imbedded into Ej (notation: Fj ⊂→ Ej ); (ii) for every Fj , there exists an abstract trace operator γj : Fj → Gj such that R(γj ) =: (G+ )j ⊂→ Gj . Then it is proved in [12]–[16] (see also [17], [18]) that there exist the unique operators Lj : D(Lj ) = Fj → Fj∗ ⊃ Ej ; ∂j : D(∂j ) = Fj →

(G+ )∗j

(4.2)

such that the abstract Green’s formula holds: ηj , Lj uj Ej = (ηj , uj )Fj − γj ηj , ∂j uj Gj ,

∀ηj , uj ∈ Fj , j = 1, q.

(4.3)

Further constructions are taken from articles [8] and [9]. Assume that there exist resolutions Gj =

Let ρjk : (G+ )j → (G+ )jk and ωjk : (G+ )jk → (G+ )j be the abstract restriction operators and the operators of extension by zero respectively, Ijk := ρjk ωjk being the identity operators in (G+ )jk . Then any pjk := ωjk ρjk : (G+ )j → (G+ )j is a projection in (G+ )j . Suppose that pjk are continuous projections; then (4.3) implies ηj , Lj uj Ej = (ηj , uj )Fj −

Here γjk are the abstract bounded operators that generalize the bounded trace operators (3.8) acting on a part of the boundary, and ∂jk generalize the normal derivatives deﬁned on a part of the boundary.

N.D. Kopachevsky and V.I. Voytitsky

According to the previous constructions, we can formulate the following abstract spectral transmission problem: Lj uj = λuj ∂jk uj + ∂kj uk = (−λ)ζjk γjk uj = γkj uk γjk uj + Vjk ζjk = λRjk ζjk γjj uj = 0

(4.11)

∗ ∈ We suppose here that: uj ∈ Fj and ζjk ∈ Gjk are unknown elements; Rjk = Rjk L(Gjk ), Rjk ≥ 0; the spectrum of every self-adjoint operator Vjk , acting in Gjk , is discrete, i.e., consists of normal eigenvalues. Let us denote by dVjk < ∞ the dimension of Ker Vjk and by κVjk , 0 ≤ κVjk ≤ ∞, the number (taking into account their multiplicities) of negative eigenvalues of Vjk . We will refer to (4.7)–(4.11) as the abstract modiﬁed spectral Stefan problem. Note that problem (3.11)–(3.15) is a special case of problem (4.7)–(4.11), where Mq Ej = L2(Ωj ), Fj = H 1 (Ωj ) ⊂→ L2 (Ωj ), Gj = L2 (Γj ) = k=1 L2 (Γjk ) and γjk u = uΓ , γjk : Fj → (G+ )jk = H 1/2 (Γjk ) ⊂→ L2 (Γjk ). jk In this case, the restriction operators ρjk ϕj := ϕj Γ , ∀ϕj ∈ H 1/2 (Γj ), (4.12) jk

associate any function ϕj ∈ H (Γj ) with its part ϕjk , deﬁned on Γjk ⊂ Γj . The operators of extension by zero ωjk : H 1/2 (Γjk ) → H 1/2 (Γj ) are deﬁned as follows: x ∈ Γjk , ϕjk , ωjk ϕjk := (4.13) 0, x ∈ Γj \ Γjk . 1/2

Deﬁnitions (4.12) and (4.13) imply that ρjk ωjk are identities in H 1/2 (Γjk ). Hence, the operators pjk = ωjk ρjk : H 1/2 (Γj ) → H 1/2 (Γj ) (4.14) have the property p2jk = pjk , i.e., they are projections. It is proved in [8] and [9] that these operators pjk are bounded projections in H 1/2 (Γjk ) since ωjk and ρjk are bounded (under some additional assumptions on boundaries Γj ). Introduce the Hilbert spaces E :=

with corresponding scalar products. Let F0 be the subspace of all u ∈ F that satisfy the main (in the sense of calculus of variations) boundary conditions: , F0 := u = (u1 , . . . , uq ) ∈ F : γjk uj = γkj uk , γjj uj = 0, j = 1, q . (4.16) Since any γjk : Fj → (G+ )jk is bounded, F0 is a subspace of F . We assume that · F0 := · F .

Assume also that N := Ker γ ⊂ F0 and M := F0 ( N are inﬁnite-dimensional subspaces of the space F0 . Further constructions are based on the assumption that N is dense in E (N = E) with respect to the norm of E. This property holds for many problems of mathematical physics. For example, if q = 1, F = H 1 (Ω), E = L2 (Ω), and γ is a trace operator on Γ = ∂Ω, Ω ⊂ Rm , then N := Ker γ = H01 (Ω),

H01 (Ω) = L2 (Ω).

(4.20)

Since for all j, k = 1, q we have Fj ⊂→ Ej , (G+ )jk ⊂→ Gjk ; F0 ⊃ N and N is dense in E, then F0 ⊂→ E and G+ ⊂→ G. Obviously, the operator γ : F0 → G+ is bounded, so, there exists some abstract Green’s formula corresponding to the triple of Hilbert spaces E, F0 , G and the abstract trace operator γ. This formula will be contain the operators L and ∂, given in (4.17) and (4.19) respectively. Indeed, summing up the Green’s formulas (4.5) over j from 1 to q, we obtain q

(4.22) By deﬁnitions (4.17)–(4.19) of the operators L, ∂, γ, we have an equivalent form of the Green’s formula (4.22): η, LuE = (η, u)F − γη, ∂uG ,

Here u ∈ F0 and ζ ∈ G are unknown elements. In the resolution of G (see (4.15)), we have V := diag (Vjk )j=1,q,k>j and R := diag (Rjk )j=1,q,k>j . So, the properties of the operators V and R are similar to the corresponding properties of Vjk and Rjk . More precisely, R = R∗ ∈ L(G), R ≥ 0, and the spectrum of the self-adjoint operator V consists of real normal eigenvalues. Let us denote by κV , 0 ≤ κV ≤ ∞, the number (taking account of their multiplicities) 0 0 0 of negative eigenvalues 0of V and let dV := dim Ker V < ∞. Then dV = qj=1 k>j dVjk , κV = qj=1 k>j κVjk . We will further suppose that the operator (V GKerV )−1 exists and is compact. It should be noted that abstract Green’s formula (4.23) allows us to consider general problem (4.7)–(4.11). Then L and ∂ are any operators appearing in some abstract Green’s formula constructed by arbitrary E, F, G, and γ that satisfy (i) and (ii). Also, the operators V and R can be arbitrary ones that satisfy the above-mentioned conditions. Problem (4.24)–(4.26) (when V is sign deﬁnite and R ≡ 0) was studied earlier in [10] and [11]. In the present, work we suggest another approach to problem (4.7)–(4.11) and consider the general case.

5. The operator-matrix form of the abstract spectral problem Now, we get the operator form of problem (4.24)–(4.26). For this purpose, we consider so-called auxiliary boundary value problems of S.Krein and the operators corresponding to them (see [14], Section 1.3). So, let a solution to (4.24)–(4.26) be represented in the form u = v + w where v and w are solutions to the following problems: Lv = f (in E), ∂v = 0 (in G); (5.1) Lw = 0 (in E),

∂w = ψ (in G).

(5.2)

Here f := λu ∈ E, ψ := −λζ ∈ G. It is proved in [13] (see also [14]) that (5.1) and (5.2) have the unique solutions v = A−1 f = λA−1 u,

w = T ψ = (−λ)T ζ,

(5.3)

where A : D(A) → E is a self-adjoint positive deﬁnite operator of the Hilbert pair (F0 ; E), and T : G → M ⊂ F0 is a bounded operator determined by the identity (γw, ϕ)G = (w, T ϕ)F ,

∀w ∈ F0 , ∀ϕ ∈ G.

(5.4)

From (5.3) we have: u = v + w = λA−1 u − λT ζ.

(5.5)

Suppose further that F0 is compact embedded in E and G+ is compact embedded in G (notations: F0 ⊂→ ⊂→ E, G+ ⊂→ ⊂→ G). Then the operators A−1 : E → E and γ : F0 → G are compact. Introduce Q := γA−1/2 : E → G,

Q∗ := A1/2 T : G → E.

(5.6)

They are self-conjugate and compact since by (5.4) (γA−1/2 w, ϕ)G = (A−1/2 w, T ϕ)F = (A1/2 A−1/2 w, A1/2 T ϕ)E = (w, A1/2 T ϕ)E ,

∀w ∈ E, ∀ϕ ∈ G.

It follows from (5.5) that problem (4.24)–(4.26) is equivalent to the problem u = λA−1 u − λA−1/2 Q∗ ζ, γu + V ζ = λRζ.

(5.7) (5.8)

Substituting u from (5.7) into (5.8) we obtain: u = λA−1 u − λA−1/2 Q∗ ζ, −1/2

(5.11)

Here u ¯ := (u; ζ)t is an element of the Hilbert space H := E ⊕ G with the corresponding norm ¯ u 2H := u 2E + ζ 2G . Obviously, the properties of the operators B and V are equivalent, i.e., the spectrum of B consists of real normal eigenvalues, with the multiplicity of the eigenvalue λ = 0 equal to dV < ∞. Lemma 5.1. The operator A is a bounded self-adjoint positive operator acting in H. Proof. The structure (5.11) of the operator-matrix A implies its self-adjointness and boundedness. Let us prove that A is non-negative and Ker A = {¯0}. Indeed, A−1 −A−1/2 Q∗ 0 −A−1/2 −1/2 ∗ + 0 = A= ≥ 0. −A Q 0 R Q −QA−1/2 QQ∗ + R ¯ then A−1 u − A−1/2 Q∗ ζ = 0 or A−1 u = T ζ =: v ∈ M. For elements If A¯ u = 0, v ∈ M , we have Lv = 0 (see (5.2)). On the other hand, v = A−1 u implies v ∈ D(A), i.e., ∂v = 0. Since problem (5.2) has a unique solution, we have v = 0. Then u = 0 and ζ = 0 (Ker T = {0}). Therefore, Ker A = {¯0}. So, problem (4.24)–(4.26) is reduced to problem (5.11), which is considered, for example, in [14], Section 1.5. Such problems usually arise in studying oscillation problems for mechanical systems with an inﬁnite number of degrees of freedom. Consider the special case of problem (5.11) when Ker B = {¯0}. In this case, λ = 0 is an eigenvalue and 0 < dim Ker V =: dim G0 = dV < ∞. Introduce ˜ where G ˜ := G ( G0 . Denote by P˜ and P0 the corresponding ˜ := H ( G0 = E ⊕ G H

Since A is self-adjoint, from ⎞⎛ ⎞ u A2 ⎠ ⎝ K2 ζ˜ ⎠ . K3 ζ0

Here V˜ := P˜ V P˜ , ζ˜ := P˜ ζ, ζ0 := P0 ζ, A1 := −A−1/2 Q∗ P˜ , A2 := −A−1/2 Q∗ P0 , ˜ ⊕ G0 . and Ki are blocks of the operator-matrix QQ∗ + R in the resolution G = G Obviously, to λ = 0 there corresponds the orthonormal system consisting of dV < ∞ elements of the form u¯ = (0; 0; ζ0 ) ∈ Ker B, ζ0 ∈ G0 . If λ = 0, then (5.12) implies A∗2 u + K2∗ ζ˜ + K3 ζ0 = 0.

(5.13)

Since A is positive, the block K3 is a (dV × dV ) positive deﬁnite matrix. Hence, the matrix K3−1 exists and is positive deﬁnite, too. Then ˜ ζ0 = −K3−1 A∗2 u − K3−1 K2∗ ζ, and (5.12) implies I 0 u −A2 K3−1 A∗2 + A−1 ˜ B˜ u := =λ ˜ ˜ −K2 K3−1 A∗2 + A∗1 0 V ζ

So, in the case Ker B = {¯ 0} problem (5.11) can be reduced to (5.15) deﬁned ˜ ⊂ H. This problem has the same form as (5.11), but now all on the subspace H the operators have trivial kernels. −A2 K3−1 K2∗ + A1 −K2 K3−1 K2∗ + K1

˜ and J have the same number of By their constructions, the operators V˜ , J, B, negative eigenvalues. Taking into account their multiplicities, it is equal to κV . Making the substitutions ˜ η := |V˜ |1/2 ζ˜ ∈ G, ˜ 1/2 u ˜ u ˆ := (u; η)t = |B| ˜ ∈ H, we can transform problem (6.1) to the problem u A12 |V˜ |−1/2 A11 = λC u ˆ, Ju ˆ = λ ˜ −1/2 η |V | A21 |V˜ |−1/2 A22 |V˜ |−1/2

˜ Lemma 6.1. Operator C is a self-adjoint positive compact operator acting in H. Proof. The self-adjointness of C is evident. Let us prove its compactness. By the assumption, the operator (V GKerV )−1 exists and is compact. So, |V˜ |−1/2 is compact. Also, we have A11 ∈ S∞ (E). Therefore, the operator-matrix C consists of only compact operators, i.e., it itself is a compact operator. Since λ = 0 is not an eigenvalue of (6.1), from (6.5) we have: J Cu ˆ = μˆ u,

μ := 1/λ.

(6.6)

Problem (6.6) is an eigenvalue problem for a positive compact or J -positive compact operator acting (subject to J ) in the Hilbert (κV = 0, J = I), or Pontryagin ˜ J := E ⊕ G ˜ with the metrics (κV < ∞), or Krein (κV = ∞) space H [ˆ u, vˆ] := (J u ˆ, vˆ)H˜ .

(6.7)

˜ J is a Hilbert space, we can apply the theorem of Hilbert-Schmidt. Otherwise, If H we can apply the theorems concerning the properties of J -self-adjoint compact operators acting in J -space (see, e.g., [19]). So, we can prove the discreteness and reality of the spectrum and the basis property of eigenelements in some J -space. But in the particular problem (6.6) we always have the basis property of eigenelements in some Hilbert space. Indeed, Theorem 6.1 implies that the operator C 1/2 exists and is positive and compact. Substituting ˜ ˆ ∈ H, ηˆ := C 1/2 u

(6.8)

into (6.5) and applying the operator C 1/2 to the left-hand side of (6.5), we have η, Kˆ η := C 1/2 J C 1/2 ηˆ = μˆ

μ := 1/λ.

(6.9)

Obviously, the operator K is a compact self-adjoint operator acting in the Hilbert ˜ Ker K = {0}. The property R(C) = H ˜ and (6.9) imply that the form space H, (Kˆ η , ηˆ)H˜ takes positive values on the subspace of inﬁnite dimension and negative values on the subspace of dimension κV . So, the theorem of Hilbert-Schmidt implies that the system of eigenelements ˜ of K forms an orthonormal basis {ˆ ηn }∞ n=1 in H and the spectrum consists of positive

− κV normal eigenvalues μ+ k → +0 (k → ∞) and κV negative eigenvalues {μk }k=1 , − where κV = ∞ implies μk → −0 (k → ∞). Making the inverse substitutions into (6.8) and (6.4), we obtain the following result.

Theorem 6.2 (on spectral properties). Problem (6.1) has a system of eigenelements ˜ −1/2 u ˜ −1/2 C −1/2 ηˆn that is complete in Hilbert space u ˜n := (un ; ζ˜n )t = |B| ˆn = |B| ˜ ˜ = H ( G0 , G0 = Ker V.

hold. The spectrum of problem (6.1) ((5.11) and (4.24)–(4.26)) is real. It consists of normal eigenvalues. If dV = dim Ker V = 0, then the spectrum of (6.1) consists of positive + ∞ eigenvalues {λ+ k = 1/μk }k=1 with a limit point +∞ and κV negative eigenval− − κV ues {λk = 1/μk }k=1 , where κV = ∞ implies λ− k → −∞ (k → ∞). In this case, ∞ ∞ {˜ u n }∞ = {¯ u } = {(u ; ζ )} is a system of eigenelements of problems n n=1 n n n=1 n=1 ˜ (5.11) and (4.24)–(4.26) in the space H = H = E ⊕ G. If 0 < dV < ∞, then λ = 0 is an eigenvalue of ﬁnite multiplicity dV . The ˜ system {(˜ un ; 0)}∞ n=1 of eigenelements in H = H⊕G0 can be completed to a complete system in H by a ﬁnite number of elements (0; ζ0n ), ζ0n ∈ G0 , corresponding to λ = 0 ({ζ0n } forms an orthonormal basis in G0 ). Theorem 6.2 can be applied to abstract modiﬁed spectral Stefan problem 0the0 (4.7)–(4.11). In the resolution G = qj=1 k>j ⊕Gjk we have V = diag (Vjk )j=1,q,k>j , ⎛ ⎞ ⎛ ⎞ q q H=E⊕G=⎝ ⊕Ej ⎠ ⊕ ⎝ ⊕Gjk ⎠ . (6.11) 0q

Otherwise, it has (taking 0 0 into account their multiplicities) κV = qj=1 k>j κBjk negative eigenvalues. The presence of negative eigenvalues corresponds to instability in the process of phase transfer. It means that the corresponding initial-boundary value problem is not a well-posed Cauchy problem.

The Discontinuous Solution for the Piece-homogeneous Transversal Isotropic Medium Oleksandr Kryvyy Abstract. The method of the reduction of the problems about the inter-phase defects in the piece-homogeneous transversal isotropic medium to the systems of the 2D singular integral equations is proposed. The method is based on the proposed way of solving the boundary Riemann problem in the space of the generalized functions of the slow growth in part of the variables and the discontinuous solution of the equations of the inhomogeneous transversal isotropic elasticity obtained with the help of this method. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). 74G70; 74B05. Keywords. Medium, generalized functions, inter-phase defect, potential, transversal isotropy, discontinuous solution, boundary Riemann problem, singular integral equation.

Introduction The discontinuous solution for the isotropic medium allowing us to reduce the problems about thin defects of arbitrary nature in the plane z = 0 to the 2D systems of singular integral equations (SIE) is built in the article [1]. The stated method is generalized for the case of the piece-homogeneous isotropic medium and the problems about the circular inclusions with diﬀerent conditions on the edges of the inclusions are considered in the article [2]. In both cases the problems were considered in the classes of the piece-diﬀerential functions which laid the appropriate limits on the loadings and complicated the substantiations of the constructions. In the present article the problem about the inter-phase defects of the arbitrary nature in the compound transversal isotropic medium is formulated in the form of the boundary problem for the diﬀerential equations in the space of the generalized 3 functions of the slow growth S (R ) and is reduced to the Riemann problem in 3 S (R ). The method of solution of this problem summarizing the results of the

articles [3, 4] is proposed. The stated method allowed us to ﬁnd the discontinuous solution for the piece-homogeneous transversal isotropic medium. As a result the singular integral correlations which connect the jumps and sums of stresses and displacements in the plane of the connection of the semi-mediums which enable us to reduce the problems about the inter-phase defects of arbitrary nature directly to the systems of singular integral equations are built.

1. The formulation of the problems about the defects and the reduction of the problem to the Riemann problem in S (R3 ) Let the common nature defects (crack, exfoliated and non-exfoliated inclusions) occupying the area Ω be in the plane of connection of two diﬀerent transversal isotropic semi-mediums z = 0. On the edges of the semi-mediums depending on the type of the defects six of the following values are considered known: 6 6 {ζk± } = {vk } , (x, y) ∈ Ω; z=±0

v = {v k (x , y, z)} k=1,6 = {σ z , τyz , τxz , u , v , w } .

(1.1)

Let us determine the integral correlations in the plane z = 0 to ﬁnd the rest of the functions from (1.1) which connect diﬀerences (jumps) and sums 6 χ ± = {χ± k (x, y)} , + − ± 2 χ± k = χk (x, y) = ζk (x, y) ± ζk (x, y), (x, y) ∈ R ;

of the components of the vector displacements and the tensor of stresses. Let us consider the stresses to be disappearing at inﬁnity, as otherwise in view of linearity the problem can be reduced [1] to the considered formulation if the solution of the appropriate problem without crack is built. Let us express the components of vector v in terms of the jumps (1.2). Let’s name this solution in accordance with [1] the discontinuous solution for the piecehomogeneous transversal isotropic medium. We can obtain the following system of diﬀerential equations with z = 0 in the class of diﬀerential functions coming from the equations of equilibrium and the generalized Hooke law [5] concerning the components of the vector of the displacements u = {uj }3 = {vj+3 }3 .

v3 = a44 (∂3 u1 + ∂1 u3 ). Let us present the solution of equation (1.3) coming from the presentations of the Lame equations for the homogeneous transversal isotropic medium [6, 7] in the following way uj = ∂j (ψ1 + ψ2 ) + (−1)j ∂2−j ψ3 , j = 1, 2;

Let Sp (R ) be the subspace of the generalized functions of the slow growth 3 g(x, y, z) ∈ S (R ) for which cz (g) ≤ p; cz (g) is the order of singularity [8] in variable z. Then coming from equation (1.6) concerning functions ψj (j = 1, 3) in the 3 subspace S1 (R ) we can obtain diﬀerential equations with discontinuous coeﬃcients 1 8− 7 2 Pj [∂1 , ∂2 , ∂3 ]ψj = fj , fj = δ (k) (z) ∂31−k ψj , ψj ∈ S1 (R ).

We shall implement the solution of the problems (1.14) being guided by the 3 given below method of the solution of the scalar problem in space S (R ).

2. About one method of the solution of the boundary Riemann problem in one variable in space S (R3 ) The boundary Riemann problem in the scalar formulation in one variable in space S (R3 ) consists in the following: it is necessary to ﬁnd two functions f± ∈ 3 Ω ±, m± (R ) which 3 (f+ ,ϕ) = (f− , G (α, β, γ) ϕ) + (q, ϕ) , (q ∈ S (R ), ϕ ∈ S R3 ) , (2.1) q is the determined function, where g = F−1 3 [q] ∈ Sn (R ). G ∈ Θμ ,G = 0, Θμ is 3 the class of the H¨ older multipliers in parameter γ, ((α,β) ∈ R2 ) in S(R ). It is easy to note that in the considered spaces the statements, proved in [3], allow the generalization of the statement. 3

Theorem 2.1. If f (α, β, γ) ∈ Ωp (R ), then the presentation 3

f = f+ − f− , f± ∈ Ω ±,p (R ) , 3

(2.2)

is true. f± are determined up to the functions of the form Mp (α, β, γ) from (1.10).

O. Kryvyy

Theorem 2.2. Let f± (α, β, γ) ∈ Ω ± , m± (R3 ) , then if (f+ , ϕ) = (f− , ϕ) , ϕ ∈ S(R3 )

(2.3)

then f+ = f− = Mp (α, β, γ) , p ≤ min {m+ , m− }, Mp (α, β, γ) is the function of the form (1.9). Proof. Let’s pass to the solution of the problem (2.1). Let the index of the coeﬃcient be bounded: Indγ G = k < ∞, then according to [10, 11], the presentation k X+ γ−i , X± (α, β, γ) = lim X(α, β, ω); (2.4) G(α, β, γ) = ω→α±i0 γ+i X− X(α, β, ω) = eKαβ (ω) ; +∞ −k 1 τ −i dτ . Kα,β (ω) = ln G (α, β, τ ) 2πi τ +i τ −ω −∞

is true. X± ∈ Θμ are the boundary values of the functions, bounded at inﬁnity, analytical in variable γ, accordingly in the upper and lower half-spaces of the complex plane ω. The presentation (2.4), Theorems 1.2, 2.1 and also that (γ + i)k ∈ Θμ allow us to write the condition (2.1) in the form 0 0 k 3 −1 0 = f± (α, β, γ) (γ ± i) X± − qk± , ϕ ∈ S(R ) (2.5) f+ , ϕ = f− , ϕ , f± −1 qk = (γ + i) k qX+ = qk+ − qk− ,qk± ∈ Ω ±,n+k−1 (R ) . 3

The belonging of the functions f 0± according to the subspaces Ω ± (R ) is obvious. 3 0 Let k ≥ 0, then if m ≥ n − 1 (m = min {m+ , m− } ), then f± ∈ Ω ±,m+k (R ) and, 0 hence, on the basis of Theorem 2.2: f± = Mm+k (α, β, γ), where Mm+k are the functions of the form (1.10). The solution of the problem (2.1) in this case will take the following form: 3

f± (α, β, γ) = (γ ± i)

−k

X± (Mm+k + qk± ) ∈ Ω ±,m (R ) 3

(2.6)

If m < n − 1, then in accordance with Theorems 1.1 and 2.1 for the existence of 3 the solution of the problem (2.1) in the subspaces Ω ±,m (R ) it is necessary that in the relation gk = ∂1n1 ∂2n2 ∂3k+n g0 , (gk = F−1 3 [qk ]) the function g0 should allow the presentation g0 (x, y, z) = z n ∗ g∗ (x, y, z) , g∗ (x, y, 0) = 0, 3

(2.7) n∗ = n − m − 1, g∗ ∈ S(R ). In this case the solution of the problem (2.1) is also determined by the relations (2.6). So the following statement has been proved. 3 Theorem 2.3. Let Indγ G (α, β, γ) = k ≥ 0, g = F−1 3 [q] ∈ Sn (R ), then if m ≥ n − 1 (m = min {m+ , m− } ), then the common solution of the problem (2.1) exists in 3 the subspaces Ω ±,m (R ) and is determined by the relations (2.6). If m < n−1, then for the existence of the solution (2.10) in Ω ±,m (R3 ) it is necessary and suﬃcient

The Discontinuous Solution

that the conditions (2.7) should be satisﬁed. Similarly the following statement is determined on the basis of the theorems 2.1, 2.2, 1.2. Theorem 2.4. Let Indγ G (α, β, γ) = k < 0, then if m ≥ n − 1 − k (m = min {m+ , m− } ), the common solution of the problem (2.1) exists in the subspaces 3 Ω ±,m (R ) and is determined by the relations (2.6). If m < n − k − 1, then for 3 the existence of the solutions in Ω ±,m (R ) it is necessary and suﬃcient that the condition (2.7) should be satisﬁed, in which n∗ = n − k − m − 1. Consequence. Let m = n − 1, then if k ≥ 0, the problem (1.1) is solvable in 3 the subspaces Ω ±,m (R ), and if k < 0, then it is solvable in the determined subspaces with the condition (2.7) being satisﬁed, in which n∗ = −k. The common solution of the problem (2.1) is determined by the relations (2.6) and depends on m + k (m + k > 0) of the arbitrary functions from the space S (R2 ).

3. The solution of the boundary problem and the construction of integral relations The results obtained above allow us to pass to the solution of the problem (1.14). The presentation of the coeﬃcients of the problem ± ± ± ± 2 2 2 p± j = (γ − ωj r)(γ + ωj r), r = α + β , ωj = iξj ,

and Theorem 2.1 allow us to transform the boundary condition (1.14) in the following way (j = 1, 3): + − − − gj+ Ψ+ j − Qj = −gj Ψj − Qj ,

According to [5] the condition Imωj± = 0 is true. For the sake of deﬁniteness we will consider Imωj± > 0 (Reξj± > 0), then the functions that stand in the right3 hand and the left-hand parts of the equality (3.1) belong to the spaces Ω ± , 1 (R ) accordingly. Hence, applying the theorem 2.2 and taking into account the property lim Ψ± j = 0 let’s write the solution of the problem (1.14) in the form γ→∞

Conclusions. Thus, the discontinuous solution for the piece-homogeneous transversal isotropic medium (3.6) and integral relations (3.10) are obtained. The latter generalize the relations obtained in [1, 2] for isotropic medium and allow us to reduce the problems about the inter-phase defects in the piece-homogeneous transversal isotropic medium to the 2D integral equations or their systems.

On the Carleman Ultradiﬀerentiability of Weak Solutions of an Abstract Evolution Equation Marat V. Markin To M.G. Krein in honor of his centenary

Abstract. For the evolution equation y (t) = Ay(t) with a normal operator A in a Hilbert space, conditions on A are found that are necessary and suﬃcient for all weak solutions of the equation on [0, ∞) to belong to a certain Carleman class of strongly ultradiﬀerentiable vector functions. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 34G10; Secondary 47B15, 47D06. Keywords. Weak solution, normal operator, Carleman ultradiﬀerentiability.

1. Introduction Consider the evolution equation y (t) = Ay(t),

(1.1)

with a normal operator A in a complex Hilbert space H with an inner product (·, ·). We are to ﬁnd conditions necessary and suﬃcient for all weak solutions of the equation on [0, ∞) to belong to a certain Carleman class of strongly ultradifferentiabile vector functions. With our goal attained, all the principal results of paper [17] obtain their natural generalization. In deﬁning a weak solution of equation (1.1) on an interval [0, T ) (0 < T ≤ ∞), we follow [1], i.e., it’s understood to be a vector function y : [0, T ) → H such that

(i) y(·) is strongly continuous on [0, T ). (ii) For any g ∈ D(A∗ ) (D(·) is the domain of an operator and A∗ is the operator adjoint to A): d (y(t), g) = (y(t), A∗ g), t ∈ [0, T ). dt Remark 1.1. Note that the weak solutions deﬁned in such a manner need not be strongly diﬀerentiable anywhere on [0, T ). As was shown in [16], the general weak solution of equation (1.1) on [0, T ) (0 < T ≤ ∞) is as follows: ; y(t) = etA f, t ∈ [0, T ), f ∈ D(etA ), 0≤t

Due to numerous and various reasons, the results of this paper brieﬂy announced in [15] a few years ago are to appear in their entirety and with complete proofs for the ﬁrst time. It’s to be noted that they inspired an interesting development reﬂected in paper [19] dedicated to the magniﬁcent mathematician M.G. Krein in honor of his centenary.

The sets def , C{mn } (I, X) = g(·) ∈ C ∞ (I, X) ∀[a, b] ⊆ I ∃α > 0, ∃c > 0 : max g (n) (t) ≤ cαn mn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . a≤t≤b

are called the Carleman of strongly ultradiﬀerentiable functions correspond-∞ , classes ing to the sequence mn n=0 of Roumieu’s and Beurling’s types, respectively (for numeric functions, see [2, 14, 13]). Obviously, C(mn ) (I, X) ⊆ C{mn } (I, X). Remark 2.1. Observe that, for mn := [n!]β or, due to Stirling’s formula, mn := nβn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . ., 0 ≤ β < ∞, we obtain the well-known Gevrey classes,

E {β} (I, X) and E (β) (I, X) (for numeric functions, see [7]). In particular, E {1} (I, X) and E (1) (I, X) are the classes of real analytic and entire vector functions, respectively (for numeric functions, see [14]). 2.2. Carleman classes of vectors Let C ∞ (A) =

The vector sets def , C{mn } (A) = f ∈ C ∞ (A) ∃α > 0, ∃c > 0 : An f ≤ cαn mn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . and def , C(mn ) (A) = f ∈ C ∞ (A) ∀α > 0 ∃c > 0 : An f ≤ cαn mn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . are , called -∞ the Carleman classes of the operator A corresponding to the sequence mn n=0 of Roumie’s and Beurling’s types, respectively. As is easily seen, C(mn ) (A) ⊆ C{mn } (A). Remark 2.2. For mn := [n!]β or mn := nβn , n = 0, 1, 2, . . ., 0 ≤ β < ∞, the above are the Gevrey classes of the operator A, E {β} (A) and E (β) (A) (see, e.g., [10, 9, 11]). In particular, E {1} (A) and E (1) (A) are the celebrated classes of analytic and entire vectors, respectively [20, 8]. , -∞ 2.3.

The function M (·) is also continuous, increasing, and M (0) = 0. Its inverse M −1 (·) deﬁned on [0, ∞) inherits all the aforementioned properties of M (·).

We shall need the following regions in the complex plane C associated with the function M (·): def , Mb+ = λ ∈ C Re λ ≥ b+ M | Im λ| and

def , Mb− ,b+ = λ ∈ C Re λ ≤ −b− M | Im λ| or Re λ ≥ b+ M | Im λ| ,

where b+ and b− are positive constants. According to [10] (see also [9, 11]),,for -a normal operator A in a complex ∞ Hilbert space H and a positive sequence mn n=0 satisfying condition (WGR), < D(T (t|A|)), C{mn } (A) = t>0

S(λ) = m0 sup m2n n≥0 mn n=0 Remark 2.3. In [18], equalities (2.1) indispensable for our further discourse were generalized to the case of a scalar type spectral operator in a complex Banach space (see, e.g., [4, 6]). , -∞ The positive sequence mn n=0 will be subject to the condition (GR) For some α > 0 and c > 0, cαn n! ≤ mn ,

Remark 2.4. Obviously, (GR)-conditions are stronger than (WGR). As for (BC)conditions, they resemble the well-known binomial coeﬃcients identity n n = 2n , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , k k=0

directly arrived at when mn = n!, n = 0, 1, 2, . . . . Observe also that there are sequences of positive numbers satisfying both (SGR) and (SBC), e.g., mn = [n!]β , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 1 < β < ∞ and that (GR)conditions and (BC)-conditions are independent (see Appendix). By condition (GR), for a certain α > 0 and a certain c > 0, ∞ ∞ −1 λn (α−1 λ)n T (λ) = m0 = m0 c−1 eα λ , ≤ m0 c−1 mn n! n=0 n=0

0 ≤ λ < ∞.

Whence, M (λ) ≤ ln(m0 c−1 ) + α−1 λ, 0 ≤ λ < ∞. Therefore, there is such an R = R(α, c) > 0 that M (λ) ≤ 2α−1 λ, Substituting M

R ≤ λ < ∞.

(λ) for λ, we arrive at the following estimate:

2α−1 M −1 (λ) ≥ λ,

M (R) ≤ λ < ∞,

(2.2)

with some α > 0 and R > 0. Similarly, one can derive from condition (SGR) estimate (2.2) with an arbitrary α > 0 and some R = R(α) > 0. Condition (BC) implies that with some h > 1 and l > 0 (Cauchy’s product of series) T 2 (λ) = m20

0 ≤ λ < ∞.

Whence, M (λ) ≥ 2−1 M (hλ) + 2−1 ln(m0 l), 0 ≤ λ < ∞. Inductively, we infer that, for certain h > 1 and l > 0 and any natural n, n −n n −k M (λ) ≥ 2 M (h λ) + ln(m0 l) 2 (2.3) k=1 = 2−n M (hn λ) + [1 − 2−n ] ln(m0 l),

0 ≤ λ < ∞.

Substituting h−n λ for λ, we obtain: M (λ) ≤ 2n M (h−n λ) − [2n − 1] ln(m0 l), for some h > 1 and l > 0 and any natural n.

0 ≤ λ < ∞,

(2.4)

M.V. Markin

Analogously, condition (SBC) implies that, along with (2.3) and (2.4), the function M (·) satisﬁes the following estimates: M (λ) ≤ 2−n M (H n λ) + [1 − 2−n ] ln(m0 L),

0 ≤ λ < ∞,

(2.5)

and M (λ) ≥ 2n M (H −n λ) − [2n − 1] ln(m0 L),

0 ≤ λ < ∞,

(2.6)

with some H > 1 and L > 0 and any natural n. Hereafter, unless speciﬁed otherwise, we regard {mn }∞ n=0 to be a sequence of positive numbers, A a normal operator in a complex Hilbert space H with an inner product (·, ·) and the induced norm · , σ(A) its spectrum, and EA (·) the operator’s spectral measure (the resolution of the identity) [5, 22]. For the spectral measure of a normal operator and its operational calculus frequently referred to, we shall adopt the abbreviations s.m. and o.c., respectively.

3. Carleman ultradiﬀerentiability of a particular weak solution Proposition 3.1. Let I be a subinterval of an interval [0, T ) (0 < T ≤ ∞). Then the restriction of a weak solution y(·) of equation (1.1) on [0, T ) to I belongs to the Carleman class C{mn } (I, H) (C(mn ) (I, H)) if and only if for any t ∈ I,

y(t) ∈ C{mn } (A) (C(mn ) (A), respectively) in which case, for any natural n, y (n) (t) = An y(t),

t ∈ I.

Proof. “Only if” part. Assume that a weak solution y(·) of (1.1) on [0, T ) (0 < T ≤ ∞) restricted to a subinterval I ⊆ [0, T ) belongs to the Carleman class C{mn } (I, H) (C(mn ) (I, H)). Then necessarily y(·) ∈ C ∞ (I, H). Whence, by [16], Corollary 4.1, y(t) ∈ C ∞ (A) for t ∈ I and, for any natural n: y (n) (t) = An y(t),

t ∈ I.

The restriction of y(·) to I belonging to the class C{mn } (I, H) (C(mn ) (I, H)), for an arbitrary t ∈ I, some (any) α > 0, and some c > 0, we also have: An y(t) = y (n) (t) ≤ cαn mn ,

n = 0, 1, . . . .

Therefore, y(t) ∈ C{mn } (A) (C(mn ) (A)),

t ∈ I.

“If” part. Let y(·) be a weak solution of equation (1.1) on the interval [0, T ) (0 < T ≤ ∞) such that, for any t ∈ I, where I is a subinterval of [0, T ), y(t) ∈ C{mn } (A) (C(mn ) (A)).

Hence, for arbitrary t ∈ I and some (any) α > 0, there is such a c(t, α) > 0 that An y(t) ≤ c(t, α)αn mn ,

n = 0, 1, 2, . . . .

(3.1)

By [16], Corollary 4.1, the inclusions C(mn ) (A) ⊆ C{mn } (A) ⊆ C ∞ (A) imply that y(·) ∈ C ∞ (I, H) n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , t ∈ I. E D(etA ) such that Hence (see Introduction), there is an f ∈ y (n) (t) = An y(t),

The latter implies that y(·) restricted to the subinterval I ⊆ [0, T ) belongs to the Carleman class C{mn } (I, H) (C(mn ) (I, H)).

4. Carleman ultradiﬀerentiability of weak solutions Theorem 4.1. Let the sequence {mn }∞ n=0 satisfy conditions (GR) and (BC). Then the following statements are equivalent. (i) Every weak solution of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) belongs to the Carleman class C(mn ) [0, ∞), H . (ii) Every weak solution of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) belongs to the Carleman class C{mn } [0, ∞), H . (iii) There is a b+ > 0 such that the set σ(A) \ Mb+ is bounded. Proof. To prove the theorem, we are to show the validity of the closed chain of logical implications (iii) ⇒ (i) ⇒ (ii) ⇒ (iii). Observe that the implication (i) ⇒ (ii) immediately follows from the inclusion C(mn ) [0, ∞), H ⊆ C{mn } [0, ∞), H . Let’s show that (iii) ⇒ (i). Assume that for some b+ > 0, the set σ(A) \ Mb+ is bounded. Recall that (see Introduction) an arbitrary weak solution y(·) of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) is of the form: y(t) = etA f, E D(etA ). with some f ∈ 0≤t<∞

The latter is equivalent to the following (see, e.g., [5, 22]): e2t Re λ d(EA (λ)f, f ) < ∞, 0 ≤ t < ∞.

E E, Indeed, the λ - boundedness of the sets σ(A) \ Mb+ and σ(A) Mb+ Re λ < M (R) , the ﬁniteness of the measure, and the continuity of the integrated function on C, imply that, for arbitrary s > 0 and t ≥ 0, T 2 (s|λ|)e2t Re λ d(EA (λ)f, f ) < ∞ σ(A)\Mb+

which, by (2.1), implies that y(t) ∈ C(mn ) (A),

0 ≤ t < ∞.

By Proposition 3.1, we infer that y(·) ∈ C(mn ) ([0, ∞), H). Let’s show now that (ii) ⇒ (iii). We shall prove this implication by contrapositive. Assume the negation of (iii), i.e., that for any b+ > 0, the set σ(A) \ Mb+ is unbounded. Then, for any n = 1, 2, . . . , the set : σ(A) \ M2−n n−1 = σ(A) ∩ λ ∈ C Re λ < 2−n n−1 M (Im λ) is unbounded. Hence, there is a sequence of points of the complex plane {λn }∞ n=1 such that λn ∈ σ(A),

n = 1, 2, . . . ;

Re λn < 2−n n−1 M (| Im λn |), n = 1, 2, . . . ; λ0 := 0, |λn | > max n, |λn−1 | , n = 1, 2, . . . . In particular, the latter implies, that the points λn are distinct.

The Carleman Ultradiﬀerentiability of Weak Solutions

417

As is easily seen, for n = 1, 2, . . . , , λ ∈ C Re λ < 2−n n−1 M (Im λ) and |λ| > max n, |λn−1 | is an open set in C. Then, for any natural n, there exists such an εn > 0 that, along with the point λn , this set contains the open disk centered at λn Δn := {λ ∈ C |λ − λn | < εn . Then, for any λ ∈ Δn , Re λ < 2−n n−1 M (Im λ), |λ| > max n, |λn−1 | .

(4.2)

Furthermore, since the points λn are distinct, we can regard the radii of the disks, εn , to be small enough so that 0 < εn <

1 , n

and Δi ∩ Δj = ∅,

n = 1, 2, . . . , (4.3) i = j

(the disks are pairwise disjoint).

By the properties of the s.m., the latter implies that the subspaces EA (Δn )H are pairwise orthogonal: EA (Δi )EA (Δj ) = 0, i = j, (0 designates the null operator in H here and whenever appropriate). By the properties of the s.m., they are also nontrivial, EA (Δn ) = 0, since Δn is an open set and Δn ∩ σ(A) = ∅ (contains at least the point λn ). Choosing a unit vector en ∈ EA (Δn )H, we obtain an orthonormal sequence in H: en = EA (Δn )en , n = 1, 2, . . . , (4.4) (δij is Kronecker’s delta symbol). (ei , ej ) = δij , Concerning the sequence of the real parts, {Re λn }∞ n=1 , we have the alternative: it’s either bounded above, or not. Let’s consider these possibilities. First, assume that {Re λn }∞ n=1 is bounded above, i.e., there is an ω > 0 such that Re λn ≤ ω, n = 1, 2, . . . . , Then unbounded is the set σ(A) ∩ λ ∈ C Re λ ≤ ω . Whence, by [16], Theorem 5.1, we infer that there is a weak solution y(·) of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) such that y(·) ∈ C ∞ ([0, ∞), H). Moreover, y(·) ∈ C{mn } ([0, ∞), H). Suppose now that the sequence {Re λn }∞ n=1 is unbounded above. Therefore, there is a subsequence {Re λn(k) }∞ such that k=1 Re λn(k) ≥ k,

k = 1, 2, . . . .

By (4.7) (see Introduction), the vector function y(t) = etA f,

is a weak solution of (1.1) on [0, ∞). However, y(0) = f ∈ C{mn } A), which, by Proposition 3.1, implies that y(·) ∈ C{mn } [0, ∞), H). All the possibilities concerning the sequence {Re λn }∞ n=1 considered, we arrive at the conclusion: the negation of (iii) makes it possible to single out a weak solution of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞), which does not belong to the Carleman class C{mn } [0, ∞), H), i.e., implies the negation of (ii). At this point, let’s consider the strong Carleman ultradiﬀerentiability of the weak solutions on the open semi-axis, (0, ∞). We are to observe that omitting the endpoint 0 leads to essentially diﬀerent results. Theorem 4.2. Let the sequence {mn }∞ n=0 satisfy conditions (GR) and (SBC). Then every weak solution of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) belongs to the Carleman class C{mn } (0, ∞), H if and only if there are such b+ > 0 and b− > 0 that the set σ(A) \ Mb− ,b+ is bounded. Proof. “If” part. Thus, our premise is that, there are b+ > 0 and b− > 0 such that the set σ(A) \ Mb− ,b+ is bounded. Consider an arbitrary weak solution y(·) of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞), which (see Introduction) is of the form: where f ∈

For an arbitrary t > 0, let’s ﬁx a suﬃciently large natural N such that 2−N γ ≤ t/2, where γ := max(1, b−1 + ). Set s := H −N [2α−1 + 1]−1 > 0 where α > 0 is the constant from (2.2). Note that the choice of s > 0 depends on t > 0. For any t > 0, we have: T 2 (s|λ|) d(EA (λ)y(t), y(t)) = T 2 (s|λ|) d(EA (λ)etA f, etA f ) σ(A)

Thus, for an arbitrary weak solution y(·) of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) and any t > 0, there is such an s > 0 that T 2 (s|λ|) d(EA (λ)y(t), y(t)) < ∞. σ(A)

Therefore, by (2.1), y(t) ∈ C{mn } (A), t > 0. The latter, by Proposition 3.1, implies that an arbitrary weak solution y(·) of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) belongs to the Carleman class C{mn } (0, ∞), H . “Only if” part. Let’s prove this part by contrapositive. Thus, assume that, for any pair of positive constants b+ and b− , the set σ(A) \ Mb− ,b+ is unbounded. Then for any natural n, the set σ(A) \ Mn−2 ,n−2 is unbounded. Hence, we can choose a sequence of points in the complex plane {λn }∞ n=1 such that λn ∈ σ(A),

n = 1, 2, . . . ;

M (| Im λ|) < Re λn < n−2 M (| Im λ|), n = 1, 2, . . . ; λ0 := 0, |λn | > max n, |λn−1 | , n = 1, 2, . . . . −n

−2

The latter, in particular, implies that the points λn are distinct. Since the set , λ −n−2 M (| Im λ|) < Re λ < n−2 M (| Im λ|), |λ| > max [n, |λn−1 |] is open in C for any natural n, there exists such an εn > 0 that this set, along with the point λn , contains the open disk centered at λn : Δn = {λ ∈ C |λ − λn | < εn . Then, for any λ ∈ Δn , − n−2 M (| Im λ|) < Re λ < n−2 M (| Im λ|) |λ| > max n, |λn−1 | .

(4.10)

Furthermore, since the points λn are distinct, we can regard the radii of the disks, εn , to be small enough so that 1 , n = 1, 2, . . . ; n and Δi ∩ Δj = ∅, i = j. 0 < εn <

(4.11)

Note that, by the properties of the spectral measure, the latter implies that the subspaces EA (Δn )H are pairwise orthogonal. The subspaces are also nontrivial since Δn is an open set and Δn ∩ σ(A) = ∅.

The Carleman Ultradiﬀerentiability of Weak Solutions

425

Choosing a unit vector en ∈ EA (Δn )H, n = 1, 2, . . . , we obtain an orthonormal sequence: en = EA (Δn )en ,

n = 1, 2, . . . ,

(ei , ej ) = δij .

(4.12)

Concerning the sequence of the real parts, {Re λn }∞ n=1 , there are two possibilities: it is either bounded, or not. Let’s consider each one. First, assume that the sequence {Re λn }∞ n=1 is bounded, i.e., there is an ω > 0 such that | Re λn | ≤ ω, n = 1, 2, . . . . , Therefore, the set σ(A) ∩ λ ∈ C −ω ≤ Re λ ≤ ω is unbounded. Whence, by [16], Theorem 5.2, we infer that there is a weak solution y(·) of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) such that y(·) ∈ C ∞ ((0, ∞), H). Moreover, y(·) ∈ C{mn } ((0, ∞), H). Now, suppose that the sequence {Re λn }∞ n=1 is unbounded. Hence, there is a subsequence {Re λn(k) }∞ such that k=1 Re λn(k) → ∞

or

Re λn(k) → −∞

as k → ∞.

First, assume that Re λn(k) → −∞ as k → ∞. In this case, one can regard without restricting generality that Re λn(k) ≤ −k, Consider the vector

k = 1, 2, . . . .

(4.13)

Thus, in this case, there is also a weak solution y(·) of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) such that, for any s > 0, T 2 (s|λ|) d(EA (λ)y(1)f, y(1)f ) = ∞, 0 < s < ∞, σ(A)

i.e., by (2.1), y(1) ∈ C{mn } (A). Whence, by Proposition 3.1, y(·) ∈ C{mn } (0, ∞), H . All the possibilities for the sequence {Re λn }∞ n=1 analyzed, we arrive at the conclusion that the assumption that, for any pair of positive constants b+ and b− , the set σ(A) \ Mb− ,b+ is unbounded implies that not every of weak solution equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) belongs to the Carleman class C{mn } (0, ∞), H . Theorem 4.3. Let the sequence {mn }∞ n=0 satisfy conditions (SGR) and (BC). Then every weak solution of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) belongs to the Carleman class C(mn ) (0, ∞), H if and only if there is such a b+ > 0 that, for an arbitrary b− > 0, the set σ(A) \ Mb− ,b+ is bounded. Proof. “If” part. Our premise is that there is a b+ > 0 such that, for an arbitrary b− > 0, the set σ(A) \ Mb− ,b+ is bounded. Consider an arbitrary weak solution of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) (see Introduction) where f ∈

By (2.1), y(t) ∈ C(mn ) (A), t > 0. By Proposition 3.1, the latter implies that an arbitrary weak solution y(·) of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) belongs to the Carleman class C(mn ) (0, ∞), H . “Only if” part. Let’s resort to proving by contrapositive once again. Assume that for any b+ > 0, there is such a b− > 0 that the set σ(A) \ Mb− ,b+ is unbounded.

434

M.V. Markin

Let’s show that under the latter premise, its stronger version can be assumed: there is a b− > 0 such that, for any b+ > 0, the set σ(A) \ Mb− ,b+ is unbounded. Indeed, there are two possibilities: , 1. For a certain b− > 0, the set λ ∈ σ(A) −b− M (| Im λ|) < Re λ ≤ 0 is unbounded. , 2. For any b− > 0, the set λ ∈ σ(A) −b− M (| Im λ|) < Re λ ≤ 0 is bounded. In the ﬁrst case, as is easily seen, the set σ(A) \ Mb− ,b+ is unbounded with a certain b− > 0 and an arbitrary b+ > 0. In the second case, the initial assumption that, for any b+ > 0, there is such a b− > 0 that the set σ(A) \ Mb− ,b+ is, unbounded immediately implies that,-for any b− > 0 and any b+ > 0, the set λ ∈ σ(A) 0 < Re λ < b+ M (| Im λ|) is unbounded and the more so is the set σ(A) \ Mb− ,b+ . Thus, the initial assumption does imply that there is a b− > 0 such that, for any b+ > 0, the set σ(A) \ Mb− ,b+ is unbounded. In particular, for any natural n, the set σ(A) \ Mb− ,n−2 is unbounded. Therefore, we can choose a sequence of points of the complex plane, {λn }∞ n=1 , in the following manner: λn ∈ σ(A),

n = 1, 2, . . . ;

− b− M (| Im λ|) < Re λn < n−2 M (| Im λ|), n = 1, 2, . . . ; λ0 := 0, |λn | > max n, |λn−1 | , n = 1, 2, . . . . The latter, in particular, implies that the points λn are distinct. Since, for any natural n, the set , λ ∈ C −b− M (| Im λ|) < Re λ < n−2 M (| Im λ|), |λ| > max n, |λn−1 | is open in C, there exists such an εn > 0 that this set contains together with the point λn the open disk centered at λn : Δn := {λ ∈ C |λ − λn | < εn , i.e., for any λ ∈ Δn , − b− M (| Im λ|) < Re λ < n−2 M (| Im λ|) |λ| > max n, |λn−1 | .

(4.19)

Moreover, since the points λn are distinct, we can regard that the radii of the disks, εn , are chosen to be small enough so that 1 0 < εn < , n = 1, 2, . . . ; n (4.20) and Δi ∩ Δj = ∅, i = j. As we observed, the subspaces EA (Δn )H are nontrivial and pairwise orthogonal.

The Carleman Ultradiﬀerentiability of Weak Solutions

435

Let’s choose a unit vector en ∈ EA (Δn )H thereby obtaining an orthonormal sequence: en = EA (Δn )en ,

n = 1, 2, . . . ,

(ei , ej ) = δij .

(4.21)

Concerning the sequence of the real parts, {Re λn }∞ n=1 , there are two possibilities: it is either bounded, or not. First, assume that the sequence {Re λn }∞ n=1 is bounded, i.e., there is an ω > 0 such that | Re λn | ≤ ω, n = 1, 2, . . . . , Therefore, the set σ(A) ∩ λ ∈ C −ω ≤ Re λ ≤ ω is unbounded. Whence, by [16], Theorem 5.2, we infer that there is a weak solution y(·) of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) such that y(·) ∈ C ∞ ((0, ∞), H). Moreover, y(·) ∈ C(mn ) ((0, ∞), H). Assume now that the sequence {Re λn }∞ n=1 is unbounded. Therefore, it has a subsequence {Re λn(k) }∞ such that k=1 Re λn(k) → ∞

or

Re λn(k) → −∞

as k → ∞.

The case when Re λn(k) → ∞ as k → ∞ is considered analogously to the corresponding case in the proof of the “only if” part of Theorem 4.2, where it was shown that there is such a weak solution y(·) of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) that y(1) ∈ C{mn } (A),

(0, ∞), H . Moreover, y(·) ∈ which, by Proposition 3.1, implies that y(·) ∈ C {m } n C(mn ) (0, ∞), H . Now, assume that there is a subsequence {Re λn(k) }∞ k=1 such that Re λn(k) → −∞ as k → ∞. Without restricting generality, we can regard that Re λn(k) ≤ −k, Let f :=

k = 1, 2, . . . .

(4.23)

In the same manner as in the proof of the “only if” part of Theorem 4.2, we can show that ; f∈ D(etA ), 0≤t<∞

i.e., by (2.1),

y(b−1 − /2) ∈ C(mn ) (A). Whence, by Proposition 3.1, y(·) ∈ C(mn ) (0, ∞), H .

All the possibilities regarding {Re λn }∞ n=1 considered, we infer that the assumption that for any b+ > 0, there is such a b− > 0 that the set σ(A)\Mb− ,b+ is unbounded implies that not every weak solution of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) belongs to the class C(mn ) (0, ∞), H .

5. Final remarks Due to the normality of the operator A, all the above criteria are formulated exclusively in terms of its spectrum, no restrictions on the operator’s resolvent behavior required, which makes them inherently qualitative and more transparent than similar results for semigroups of linear operators (cf. [12, 24, 21, 3, 23]). As is easily seen, in Theorems 4.1–4.3, the function M (·) can be replaced by a nonnegative continuous function F (·) such that C1 F (λ) ≤ M (λ) ≤ C2 F (λ) with some positive constants C1 and C2 , for all suﬃciently large nonnegative λ’s. Note that it doesn’t matter whether the function F (·) has an inverse. With the sequences mn = [n!]β , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 1 ≤ β < ∞, satisfying conditions (GR) and (SBC), condition (SGR) for 1 < β < ∞, and estimates

438

M.V. Markin

(6.4) (see Appendix), the corresponding function M (·) is replaceable by λ1/β , 0 ≤ λ < ∞, 1 ≤ β < ∞. Thus, all the principal theorems of paper [17] regarding the strong Gevrey ultradiﬀerentiability (see Introduction) of the weak solutions become the special cases of Theorems 4.1–4.3 with mn = [n!]β , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . and 1 ≤ β < ∞ or 1 < β < ∞, whichever appropriate. Observe also that Theorem 4.1 immediately implies the following eﬀect of smoothness improvement: , -∞ Corollary 5.1. Let the sequence mn n=0 satisfy conditions (GR) and (BC). Then, if all weak solution of equation (1.1) on [0, ∞) belong to the Carleman class of Roumieu type C{mn } ([0, ∞), H), they automatically belong to the Carleman class of Beurling type C(mn ) ([0, ∞), H).

6. Appendix 6.1. Instances of sequences satisfying (GR)- and (BC)-conditions Consider mn = [n!]β , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , with 0 ≤ β < ∞. As is easily seen, for 0 ≤ β < 1, condition (GR) is not satisﬁed (although (WGR) is); for 1 ≤ β < ∞ condition (GR) is satisﬁed and, for 1 < β < ∞, so is (SGR). Based on the well-known binomial coeﬃcients identity, for 1 ≤ β < ∞ and n = 0, 1, 2, . . . , we have: n n β n β n n n n n n ≤ 2 = ≤ (n + 1) = (n + 1) 2β ≤ 2β+1 . k k k k=0

Thus, for 1 ≤ β < ∞, condition (SBC) is met as well. Let 1 ≤ β < ∞. According to Stirling’s formula, there a C = C(β) ≥ 1 such that [n!]β ≤ nβn ≤ Ceβn [n!]β , n = 0, 1, 2, . . . .

Independence (GR)-conditions and (BC)-conditions The question concerning the independence of (GR)-conditions and (BC)-conditions naturally arises. Let’s show that they are independent. √ As is easily seen, the sequence mn := n!, n = 0, 1, 2, . . . satisﬁes condition (SBC), but not (GR). Thus, (SBC) ⇒ (GR). Let’s show that (SGR) ⇒ (BC).

For 1 ≤ i ≤ n(k) − 1, k = 1, 2, . . . , there are only two possibilities. Either i or n(k) − i equals n(l) with some 0 ≤ l ≤ k − 1, e.g., i = 1 or i = n(k) − 1. Neither i nor n(k) − i equals n(l) for any 0 ≤ l ≤ k − 1. For instance, i = 3 = n(l), 0 ≤ l ≤ k − 1, and n(k) − 3 = n(l), 0 ≤ l ≤ k − 1, whenever k ≥ 4. The former being self-evident, the latter is also easily seen: n(k) − n(l) ≥ n(k) − n(k − 1) = n(k − 2) + 1 ≥ n(2) + 1 = 5,

k ≥ 4.

In the ﬁrst case, for k ≥ 3 and 1 ≤ i ≤ n(k) − 1, mn(k) mn(k) ≤ , mi mn(k)−i mn(k)−n(k−1) since, if i = n(l) with some 0 ≤ l ≤ k−1, then n(k)−i = n(k)−n(l) ≥ n(k)−n(k− 1); if n(k)−i = n(l) with some 0 ≤ l ≤ k−1, then i = n(k)−n(l) ≥ n(k)−n(k−1). Observe that, when k ≥ 3, n(k)−n(k−1) = n(k−2)+1 = n(l), l = 0, 1, 2, . . . . Therefore, in the ﬁrst case, for k ≥ 3 and 1 ≤ i ≤ n(k) − 1, we have: mn(k) mn(k) mn(k) n(k)2n(k) ≤ = = (n(k−2)+1)4 mi mn(k)−i mn(k)−n(k−1) mn(k−2)+1 e 4

On the Equivalence of Diﬀerent Lax Pairs for the Kac–van Moerbeke Hierarchy Johanna Michor and Gerald Teschl Abstract. We give a simple algebraic proof that the two diﬀerent Lax pairs for the Kac–van Moerbeke hierarchy, constructed from Jacobi respectively supersymmetric Dirac-type diﬀerence operators, give rise to the same hierarchy of evolution equations. As a byproduct we obtain some new recursions for computing these equations. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 47B36, 37K15; Secondary 81U40, 39A10. Keywords. Kac–van Moerbeke hierarchy, Lax pair, Toda hierarchy.

1. Introduction There are two diﬀerent Lax equations for the Kac–van Moerbeke equation: The original one, found independently by Kac and van Moerbeke [6] and Manakov [7], based on a Jacobi matrix with zero diagonal elements and its skew-symmetrized square and the second one based on super-symmetric Dirac-type matrices. Both approaches can be generalized to give corresponding hierarchies of evolution equations in the usual way and both reveal a close connection to the Toda hierarchy. In fact, the ﬁrst approach shows that the Kac–van Moerbeke hierarchy (KM hierarchy) is contained in the Toda hierarchy by setting b = 0 in the odd equations. The second one relates both hierarchies via a B¨acklund transformation since the Dirac-type diﬀerence operator gives rise to two Jacobi operators by taking squares (respectively factorizing positive Jacobi operators to obtain the other direction). Both ways of introducing the KM hierarchy have their merits, however, though it is obvious that both produce the same hierarchy by looking at the ﬁrst few equations, we could not ﬁnd a formal proof in the literature. The purpose of this short note is to give a simple algebraic proof for this fact. As a byproduct we will also obtain some new recursions for computing the equations in the KM hierarchy.

In Section 2 we review the recursive construction of the Toda hierarchy via Lax pairs involving Jacobi operators and obtain the KM hierarchy by setting b = 0 in the odd equations. In Section 3 we introduce the KM hierarchy via Lax pairs involving Dirac-type diﬀerence operators. In Section 4 we show that both constructions produce the same equations. Finally, we recall how to identify Jacobi operators with b = 0 in Section 5.

2. The Toda hierarchy In this section we introduce the Toda hierarchy using the standard Lax formalism following [2] (see also [5], [10]). We will only consider bounded solutions and hence require Hypothesis H.2.1. Suppose a(t), b(t) satisfy a(t) ∈ ∞ (Z, R),

b(t) ∈ ∞ (Z, R),

a(n, t) = 0, ∞

(n, t) ∈ Z × R,

∞

and let t → (a(t), b(t)) be diﬀerentiable in (Z) ⊕ (Z). Associated with a(t), b(t) is a Jacobi operator H(t) = a(t)S + + a− (t)S − + b(t)

(2.1)

in 2 (Z), where S ± f (n) = f ± (n) = f (n ± 1) are the usual shift operators and 2 (Z) denotes the Hilbert space of square summable (complex-valued) sequences over Z. Moreover, choose constants c0 = 1, cj , 1 ≤ j ≤ r, cr+1 = 0, and set gj (n, t) =

hj (n, t) = 2a(n, t)

a straightforward computation shows that the Lax equation d H(t) − [P2r+2 (t), H(t)] = 0, dt

(2.5)

Equivalence of Lax Pairs for the Kac–van Moerbeke Hierarchy is equivalent to

⎞ + a(t) ˙ − a(t) gr+1 (t) − gr+1 (t) ⎠ = 0, TLr (a(t), b(t)) = ⎝ ˙ − hr+1 (t) − h− (t) b(t) r+1

(2.6)

where the dot denotes a derivative with respect to t. Varying r ∈ N0 yields the Toda hierarchy TLr (a, b) = 0. The corresponding homogeneous quantities obtained by taking all summation constants equal to zero, c ≡ 0, ∈ N, are denoted by gˆj , ˆ j , etc., resp. h R r (a, b) = TLr (a, b) . (2.7) TL c ≡0,1≤ ≤r

Next we show that we can set b ≡ 0 in the odd equations of the Toda hierarchy. Lemma 2.2. Let b ≡ 0. Then the homogeneous coeﬃcients satisfy ˆ 2j = 0, gˆ2j+1 = h

j ∈ N0 .

Proof. We use induction on the recursion relations (2.3). The claim is true for ˆ 2j = 0 then gˆ2j+1 = 0, and h ˆ 2j = 0 follows from the last equation in j = 0. If h (2.3). In particular, if we choose c2 = 0 in TL2r+1 , then we can set b ≡ 0 to obtain a hierarchy of evolution equations for a alone. In fact, set Gj = gˆ2j ,

ˆ 2j+1 , Kj = h

(2.8)

in this case. Then they satisfy the recursion G0 = 1,

and TL2r+1 (a, 0) = 0 is equivalent to the KM hierarchy deﬁned as KMr (a) = a˙ − a(G+ r+1 − Gr+1 ),

r ∈ N0 .

(2.10)

3. The Kac–van Moerbeke hierarchy as a modiﬁed Toda hierarchy In this section we review the construction of the KM hierarchy as a modiﬁed Toda hierarchy. We refer to [2], [10] for further details. Suppose ρ(t) satisﬁes Hypothesis H.3.1. Let ρ(t) ∈ ∞ (Z, R),

ρ(n, t) = 0, (n, t) ∈ Z × R

and let t → ρ(t) be diﬀerentiable in ∞ (Z).

(3.1)

448

J. Michor and G. Teschl Deﬁne the “even” and “odd” parts of ρ(t) by ρe (n, t) = ρ(2n, t), ρo (n, t) = ρ(2n + 1, t),

(n, t) ∈ Z × R,

(3.2)

and consider the bounded operators (in 2 (Z)) − A(t) = ρo (t)S + + ρe (t), A(t)∗ = ρ− o (t)S + ρe (t).

(3.3)

In addition, we set H1 (t) = A(t)∗ A(t),

H2 (t) = A(t)A(t)∗ ,

(3.4)

with − Hk (t) = ak (t)S + + a− k (t)S + bk (t),

k = 1, 2,

(3.5)

and a1 (t) = ρe (t)ρo (t),

2 b1 (t) = ρe (t)2 + ρ− o (t) ,

(3.6)

a2 (t) = ρ+ e (t)ρo (t),

b2 (t) = ρe (t)2 + ρo (t)2 .

(3.7)

Now we deﬁne operators D(t), Q2r+2 (t) in (Z, C ) as follows, 0 A(t)∗ , D(t) = A(t) 0 0 P1,2r+2 (t) , r ∈ N0 . Q2r+2 (t) = 0 P2,2r+2 (t) 2

Here Pk,2r+2 (t), k = 1, 2 are deﬁned as in (2.4), that is, Pk,2r+2 (t) = −Hk (t)r+1 +

r (2ak (t)gk,j (t)S + − hk,j (t))Hk (t)j + gk,r+1 , (3.10) j=0

{gk,j (n, t)}0≤j≤r , {hk,j (n, t)}0≤j≤r+1 are deﬁned as in (2.2). Moreover, we choose the same integration constants in P1,2r+2 (t) and P2,2r+2 (t) (i.e., c1, = c2, ≡ c , 1 ≤ ≤ r). Analogous to equation (2.5) one obtains that d D(t) − [Q2r+2 (t), D(t)] = 0 dt

(3.11)

is equivalent to KMr (ρ) = (KMr (ρ)e , KMr (ρ)o ) ρ˙ e − ρe (g2,r+1 − g1,r+1 ) = 0. = + ρ˙ o + ρo (g2,r+1 − g1,r+1 )

(3.12)

As in the Toda context (2.6), varying r ∈ N0 yields the KM hierarchy which we denote by KMr (ρ) = 0, r ∈ N0 . (3.13) The homogeneous KM hierarchy is denoted by S r (ρ) = KMr (ρ) KM

c ≡0,1≤ ≤r

(3.14)

Equivalence of Lax Pairs for the Kac–van Moerbeke Hierarchy

449

One look at the transformations (3.6), (3.7) veriﬁes that the equations for ρo , ρe are in fact one equation for ρ. More explicitly, combining gk,j , resp. hk,j , into one sequence Gj (2n) = g1,j (n) , Gj (2n + 1) = g2,j (n)

resp.

Hj (2n) = h1,j (n) , Hj (2n + 1) = h2,j (n)

(3.15)

we can rewrite (3.12) as KMr (ρ) = ρ˙ − ρ(G+ r+1 − Gr+1 ).

(3.16)

¿From (2.3) we see that Gj , Hj satisfy the recursions G0 = 1, H0 = c1 , 2Gj+1 − Hj − Hj−− − 2(ρ2 + (ρ− )2 )Gj −− − 2 −− Hj+1 − Hj+1 − 2((ρρ+ )2 G+ j − (ρ ρ) Gj ) −(ρ2 + (ρ− )2 )(Hj − Hj−− )

ˆ j , etc., as before. ˆj , H The homogeneous quantities are denoted by G As a simple consequence of (3.11) we have d D(t)2 − [Q2r+2 (t), D(t)2 ] = 0 dt and observing

D(t) =

(3.18)

(3.19)

yields the implication KMr (ρ) = 0 ⇒ TLr (ak , bk ) = 0,

k = 1, 2,

(3.20)

that is, given a solution ρ of the KMr equation (3.13), one obtains two solutions, (a1 , b1 ) and (a2 , b2 ), of the TLr equations (2.6) related to each other by the Miuratype transformations (3.6), (3.7). For more information we refer to [4], [5], [9], [10], [11], and [12].

4. Equivalence of both constructions In this section we want to show that the constructions of the KM hierarchy outlined in the previous two sections yield in fact the same set of evolution equations. This will follow once we show that Gj deﬁned in (2.8) is the same as Gj deﬁned in (3.15). It will be suﬃcient to consider the homogeneous quantities, however, we will omit the additional hats for notational simplicity. Moreover, we will denote ˜ j to distinguish it from the one deﬁned the sequence Gj deﬁned in (2.8) by G ˜ j , Kj in (3.15). Since both are deﬁned recursively via the recursions (2.9) for G respectively (3.17) for Gj , Hj our ﬁrst aim is to eliminate the additional sequences ˜ j respectively Gj alone. Kj respectively Hj and to get a recursion for G

Hence both constructions for the KM hierarchy are equivalent and we have Theorem 4.4. Let r ∈ N0 . Then TL2r+1 (a, 0) = KMr (a).

Remark 4.5. As pointed out by M. Gekhtman to us, an alternate way of proving equivalence is by showing that (in the semi-inﬁnite case, n ∈ N) both constructions give rise to the same set of evolutions for the moments of the underlying spectral measure (compare [1]). Our purely algebraic approach has the advantage that it does neither require the semi-inﬁnite case nor self-adjointness.

5. Appendix: Jacobi operators with b ≡ 0 In order to get solutions for the Kac–van Moerbeke hierarchy out of solutions of the Toda hierarchy one clearly needs to identify those cases which lead to Jacobi operators with b ≡ 0. For the sake of completeness we recall some folklore results here. Let H be a Jacobi operator associated with the sequences a, b as in (2.1). Recall that under the unitary operator U f (n) = (−1)n f (n) our Jacobi operator transforms according to U −1 H(a, b)U = H(−a, b), where we write H(a, b) in order to display the dependence of H on the sequences a and b. Hence, in the special case b ≡ 0 we infer that H and −H are unitarily equivalent, U −1 HU = −H. In particular, the spectrum is symmetric with respect to the reﬂection z → −z and it is not surprising, that this symmetry plays an important role. Denote the diagonal and ﬁrst oﬀ-diagonal of the Green’s function of a Jacobi operator H by g(z, n) = δn , (H − z)−1 δn , h(z, n) = 2a(n)δn+1 , (H − z)−1 δn − 1.

(5.1)

Then we have Theorem 5.1. For a given Jacobi operator, b ≡ 0 is equivalent to g(z, n) = −g(−z, n) and h(z, n) = h(−z, n). ˜ = −U −1 HU , then the corresponding diagonal and ﬁrst oﬀ-diagonal Proof. Set H ˜ n) = h(−z, n). Hence the elements are related via g˜(z, n) = −g(−z, n) and h(z, claim follows since g(z, n) and h(z, n) uniquely determine H (see [10, Sect. 2.7] respectively [8] for the unbounded case). Note that one could alternatively use recursions: Since gj (n) and hj (n) are just the coeﬃcients in the asymptotic expansions of g(z, n) respectively h(z, n) around z = ∞ (see [10, Chap. 6]), our claim is equivalent to g2j+1 (n) = 0 and h2j (n) = 0. Similarly, b ≡ 0 is equivalent to m± (z, n) = −m± (−z, n), where m± (z, n) = δn±1 , (H±,n − z)−1 δn±1

(5.2)

are the Weyl m-functions. Here H±,n are the two half-line operators obtained from H by imposing an additional Dirichlet boundary condition at n. The corresponding spectral measures are of course symmetric in this case. For a quasi-periodic algebro-geometric solution (see, e.g., [10, Chap. 9]), this implies b ≡ 0 if and only if both the spectrum and the Dirichlet divisor are symmetric with respect to the reﬂection z → −z (cf. [3, Chap. 3]). For an N soliton solution this implies b ≡ 0 if and only if the eigenvalues come in pairs, E and −E, and the norming constants associated with each eigenvalue pair are equal.

Elliptic Problems and H¨ormander Spaces Vladimir A. Mikhailets and Aleksandr A. Murach Abstract. The paper gives a survey of the modern results on elliptic problems on the H¨ ormander function spaces. More precisely, elliptic problems are studied on a Hilbert scale of the isotropic H¨ ormander spaces parametrized by a real number and a function slowly varying at +∞ in the Karamata sense. This reﬁned scale is ﬁner than the Sobolev scale and is closed with respect to the interpolation with a function parameter. The Fredholm property of elliptic operators and elliptic boundary-value problems is preserved for this scale. A local reﬁned smoothness of the elliptic problem solution is studied. An abstract construction of classes of function spaces in which the elliptic problem is a Fredholm one is found. In particular, some generalizations of the Lions-Magenes theorems are given. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary: 35J30, 35J40; Secondary: 46E35. Keywords. H¨ ormander spaces, generalized smoothness, interpolation with a function parameter, elliptic operator, elliptic boundary-value problem, the Fredholm property, local regularity of solutions, the Lions-Magenes theorems.

Spaces of form (1) arise naturally in diﬀerent spectral problems: convergence of spectral expansions of self-adjoint elliptic operators almost everywhere, in the norm of the spaces Lp with p > 2 or C (see survey [6]); spectral asymptotics of general self-adjoint elliptic operators in a bounded domain, the Weyl formula, a sharp estimate of the remainder in it (see [30, 31]) and others. They may be expected to be useful in other “ﬁne” questions. Due to their interpolation properties, the spaces H s,ϕ occupy a special position among the spaces of a generalized smoothness, which are actively investigated and used today (see survey [23], recent articles [19, 14] and the bibliography given therein). The paper consists of six sections. In Section 1 the reﬁned scale of the H¨ormander spaces (0.1) is introduced and studied. In particular, important interpolation properties of this scale are under investigation. In Section 2 an elliptic pseudodiﬀerential operator on the reﬁned scale on a closed compact smooth manifold is considered. We show that this operator is a Fredholm one and establishes a collection of isomorphisms on the two-sided reﬁned scale. The local reﬁned smoothness of a solution to the elliptic equation is studied. We also give an equivalent deﬁnition of the reﬁned scale on the closed manifold by means of certain functions of a positive elliptic operator. Next we study a regular elliptic boundary problem on a bounded Euclidean domain with the smooth boundary. In Section 3 we show that the operator of this problem is a Fredholm one on the upper part of the reﬁned scale. A local reﬁned smoothness up to the boundary of a solution to the problem is studied. As an important application, we give a suﬃcient condition for the solution to be classical. Section 4 is devoted to semihomogeneous elliptic boundary problems. We show that these problems are Fredholm on the two-sided reﬁned scales. Since the operator of the general nonhomogeneous boundary problem cannot be deﬁned correctly on the lower part of the reﬁned scale, we consider in Section 5 a special modiﬁed reﬁned scale on which the operator is well deﬁned, bounded, and Fredholm everywhere. This modiﬁcation depends solely on the order of the problem, so that the theorem on the Fredholm property is generic for the class of elliptic problems having the same order. The last Section 6 is devoted to some individual theorems on the Fredholm property. We give an abstract construction of classes of function spaces on which the elliptic problem operator is a Fredholm one. A characteristic feature of this construction is that the domain of the operator depends on coeﬃcients of the elliptic expression. So, we have the individual theorems on the Fredholm property. As an important application, we give some generalizations of the known LionsMagenes theorems.

1. A reﬁned scale of H¨ ormander spaces Let us denote by M the set of all functions ϕ : [1, +∞) → (0, +∞) such that: a) ϕ is a Borel measurable function;

b) the functions ϕ and 1/ϕ are bounded on every closed interval [1, b], where 1 < b < +∞; c) ϕ is a slowly varying function at +∞ in the Karamata sense (see [61, Sec. 1.1]), i.e., lim ϕ(λ t)/ϕ(t) = 1 for each λ > 0. t→ +∞

Let s ∈ R and ϕ distributions w on the the distribution w is a the condition

∈ M. We denote by H s,ϕ (Rn ) the space of all tempered Euclidean space Rn such that the Fourier transform w 2 of locally Lebesgue integrable on Rn function which satisﬁes 2 ξ2s ϕ2 (ξ) |w(ξ)| 2 dξ < ∞. Rn

Rn

The inner product induces the norm in Hs,ϕ (Rn ) in the usual way. Note that we consider distributions which are antilinear functionals on the space of test functions. The space H s,ϕ (Rn ) is a special isotropic Hilbert case of the spaces introduced and investigated by L. H¨ ormander [20, Sec. 2.2], [21, Sec. 10.1] and the diﬀerent spaces studied by L.R. Volevich and B.P. Paneah [65, Sec. 2], [53, Sec. 1.4.2]. In the simplest case where ϕ(·) ≡ 1, the space H s,ϕ (Rn ) coincides with the Sobolev space H s (Rn ). The inclusions ; < H s+ε (Rn ) =: H s+ (Rn ) ⊂ H s,ϕ (Rn ) ⊂ H s− (Rn ) := H s−ε (Rn ) ε>0

imply that in the set of separable Hilbert spaces , s,ϕ n H (R ) : s ∈ R, ϕ ∈ M ,

(1.1)

the functional parameter ϕ deﬁnes an additional (subpower) smoothness with respect to the basic (power) s-smoothness. Otherwise speaking, ϕ reﬁnes the power smoothness s. Therefore, the collection of spaces (1.1) is naturally called the reﬁned scale over Rn (with respect to the Sobolev scale). We are going to study an application of the reﬁned scale to elliptic boundary problems in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ Rn . Therefore, we need to have the reﬁned scales over the domain Ω and over its boundary ∂Ω. The reﬁned scale over the closed domain Ω := Ω ∪ ∂Ω is also of use. We construct these scales from (1.1) in the standard way. Let us denote , H s,ϕ (Ω) := u = w Ω : w ∈ H s,ϕ (Rn ) , , u H s,ϕ (Ω) := inf w H s,ϕ (Rn ) : w ∈ H s,ϕ (Rn ), w = u ∈ Ω .

The norm in the space H s,ϕ (Ω) is induced by the inner product u1 , u2 H s,ϕ (Ω) := w1 − Πw1 , w2 − Πw2 H s,ϕ (Rn ) . Here wj ∈ H s,ϕ (Rn ), wj = uj ∈ Ω for j = 1, 2, and Π is the orthogonal projector of the space H s,ϕ (Rn ) onto the subspace {w ∈ H s,ϕ (Rn ) : supp w ⊆ Rn \ Ω}. The space H s,ϕ (Ω) is a separable Hilbert one. We also denote , HΩs,ϕ (Rn ) := w ∈ H s,ϕ (Rn ) : supp w ⊆ Ω . This space is a separable Hilbert one with respect to the inner product in the space H s,ϕ (Rn ). Thus the space H s,ϕ (Ω) consists of the distributions given in the open domain Ω, whereas the space HΩs,ϕ (Rn ) consists of the distributions supported on the closed domain Ω. The collections of Hilbert spaces , s,ϕ , s,ϕ n H (Ω) : s ∈ R, ϕ ∈ M and HΩ (R ) : s ∈ R, ϕ ∈ M (1.2) are called the reﬁned scales over Ω and over Ω respectively. The boundary ∂Ω is assumed to possess an inﬁnitely smooth ﬁeld of unit vectors of normals. So, ∂Ω is a particular case of a compact closed inﬁnitely smooth manifold. Let us deﬁne the reﬁned scale over a closed inﬁnitely smooth manifold Γ of an arbitrary dimension n. We choose a ﬁnite atlas from the C ∞ -structure on the manifold Γ consisting of the local charts αj : Rn ↔ Uj , j = 1, . . . , r. Here the open sets Uj form the ﬁnite covering of the manifold Γ. Let functions χj ∈ C ∞ (Γ), j = 1, . . . , r, form a partition of unity on Γ satisfying the condition supp χj ⊂ Uj . We set H s,ϕ (Γ) := {h ∈ D (Γ) : (χj h) ◦ αj ∈ H s,ϕ (Rn ),

j = 1, . . . , r} .

Here, as usual, D (Γ) is the topological space of all distributions on Γ, and (χj h)◦αj is the representation of the distribution χj h in the local chart αj . The inner product in the space H s,ϕ (Γ) is deﬁned by the formula (h1 , h2 )H s,ϕ (Γ) :=

r

((χj h1 ) ◦ αj , (χj h2 ) ◦ αj )H s,ϕ (Rn )

j=1

and induces the norm in the usual way. The Hilbert space H s,ϕ (Γ) is separable and does not depend (up to equivalence of norms) on the choice of the atlas and the partition of unity. The collection of function spaces {H s,ϕ (Γ) : s ∈ R, ϕ ∈ M} (1.3) is called the reﬁned scale over the manifold Γ. Speciﬁcally, we need the reﬁned scale of spaces H s,ϕ (∂Ω).

We note the following properties of the reﬁned scales: Theorem 1.1. Let s ∈ R and ϕ, ϕ1 ∈ M. The following assertions are true: (i) The set C ∞ ( Ω ) is dense in the space H s,ϕ (Ω). (ii) The set C0∞ (Ω) := {w ∈ C ∞ (Rn ) : supp w ⊂ Ω} is dense in the space HΩs,ϕ (Rn ). (iii) If |s| < 1/2, then the mapping w → w Ω establishes a topological isomorphism from HΩs,ϕ (Rn ) onto H s,ϕ (Ω). (iv) For each ε > 0 the compact and dense embeddings hold: H s+ε, ϕ1 (Ω) → H s,ϕ (Ω),

HΩs+ε, ϕ1 (Rn ) → HΩs,ϕ (Rn ).

(1.4)

(v) Suppose that the function ϕ/ϕ1 is bounded in a neighborhood of +∞. Then continuous dense embeddings (1.4) are valid for ε = 0. They are compact if ϕ(t)/ϕ1 (t) → 0 as t → +∞. (vi) For every ﬁxed integer k ≥ 0 the inequality +∞ dt <∞ (1.5) t ϕ 2 (t) 1 is equivalent to the embedding H k+n/2, ϕ (Ω) → C k ( Ω ). This embedding is compact. −s,1/ϕ (vii) The spaces H s,ϕ (Ω) and HΩ (Rn ) are mutually dual with respect to the inner product in L2 (Ω). (viii) The mapping u → u ∂Ω, u ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ), is extended by a continuity to the bounded trace operator from H s,ϕ (Ω) onto H s−1/2, ϕ (∂Ω), provided that s > 1/2. Assertions (iv)–(vi) show that the reﬁned scale is much ﬁner than the classical Sobolev scale (the case of ϕ ≡ ϕ1 ≡ 1). Note also that ϕ ∈ M ⇔ 1/ϕ ∈ M, so the −s,1/ϕ space HΩ (Rn ) in assertion (vii) is deﬁned as an element of the reﬁned scale. Theorem 1.2. Let s ∈ R and ϕ, ϕ1 ∈ M. Then: (i) Assertions (i) and (iv)–(vi) of Theorem 1.1 hold true if we replace both notations (Ω) and ( Ω ) with (Γ). (ii) The spaces H s,ϕ (Γ) and H −s,1/ϕ (Γ) are mutually dual (up to equivalence of norms) with respect to the inner product in the space L2 (Γ, dx), where dx is a C ∞ -smooth density on Γ. The reﬁned scale of spaces (1.1), (1.2), and (1.3) were introduced and investigated by authors in [32, 34, 39]. Theorems 1.1, 1.2 were proved in [34, Theorem 3.6] and [39, Theorem 4.2]. All assertions of these theorems, except (iii), follow from the properties of H¨ ormander spaces [20, Sec. 2.2], [21, Sec. 10.1] (see also [65, Sec. 2], [53, Sec. 1.4.2]). The reﬁned scale possesses the interpolation property which selects the scale from among the spaces of generalized smoothness. Namely, every space of this scale is obtained by the interpolation, with an appropriate function parameter, of

a couple of the Sobolev spaces. We recall the deﬁnition of such an interpolation in the case of general separable Hilbert spaces. Let an ordered couple X := [X0 , X1 ] of complex Hilbert spaces X0 and X1 be such that these spaces are separable and the continuous dense embedding X1 → X0 holds true. We call this couple admissible. For the couple X there exists an isometric isomorphism J : X1 ↔ X 0 such that J is a self-adjoint positive operator in the space X 0 with the domain X1 . This operator is uniquely determined by the couple X. Let a Borel measurable function ψ : (0, +∞) → (0, +∞) be given. We denote by [X0 , X1 ]ψ or simply by Xψ the domain of the operator ψ(J) endowed with the graphics inner product and the corresponding norm: (u, v)Xψ := (u, v)X0 + (ψ(J)u, ψ(J)v)X0 ,

1/2

u Xψ = (u, u)Xψ .

The space Xψ is a separable Hilbert one. The function ψ is called an interpolation parameter if the following condition is fulﬁlled for all admissible couples X = [X0 , X1 ], Y = [Y0 , Y1 ] of Hilbert spaces and an arbitrary linear mapping T given on X0 : if the restriction of the mapping T to the space Xj is a bounded operator T : Xj → Yj for each j = 0, 1, then the restriction of the mapping T to the space Xψ is also a bounded operator T : Xψ → Yψ . Theorem 1.3. Let a function ϕ ∈ M and positive numbers ε, δ be given. We set ψ(t) := t ε/(ε+δ) ϕ(t1/(ε+δ) ) for t ≥ 1

and

ψ(t) := ϕ(1) for 0 < t < 1.

Then the function ψ is an interpolation parameter and, for each s ∈ R, the following equalities of spaces with equivalence of norms in them are true: s−ε,1 H (G), H s+δ,1 (G) ψ = H s,ϕ (G) for G ∈ {Rn , Ω, Γ}, s−ε,1 n HΩ (R ), HΩs+δ,1 (Rn ) ψ = HΩs,ϕ (Rn ). The reﬁned scale is closed with respect to the interpolation with a function parameter ψ(t) := tθ χ(t) where 0 < θ < 1, whereas χ(t) is a Borel measurable positive function slowly varying at +∞. Theorem 1.4. Let s0 , s1 ∈ R, s0 ≤ s1 , and ϕ0 , ϕ1 ∈ M. In the case where s0 = s1 we suppose that the function ϕ0 /ϕ1 is bounded in a neighborhood of +∞. Let a Borel measurable function ψ : (0, +∞) → (0, +∞) is of the form ψ(t) := tθ χ(t), where 0 < θ < 1 and χ(t) is a function slowly varying at +∞. Then ψ is an interpolation parameter, and the following equalities of spaces with equivalence of norms in them are true: s0 ,ϕ0 H (G), H s1 ,ϕ1 (G) ψ = H s,ϕ (G) for G ∈ {Rn , Ω, Γ}, s0 ,ϕ0 n HΩ (R ), HΩs1 ,ϕ1 (Rn ) ψ = HΩs,ϕ (Rn ). Here s := (1 − θ)s0 + θs1 , and the function ϕ ∈ M is given by the formula ϕ(t) := ϕ1−θ (t) ϕθ1 (t) χ ts1 −s0 ϕ1 (t)/ϕ0 (t) for t ≥ 1. 0

The interpolation of general Hilbert spaces with a function parameter was studied in [15, 12, 54, 40]. The class of all interpolation parameters was described in [54] (see also [40, Theorem 2.7]). Theorem 1.3 was proved in [34, Theorems 3.1, 3.5] and [39, Theorem 4.1]. Theorem 1.4 was proved in [40, Theorem 3.7] for the reﬁned scale over Γ (the proof for the scales (1.1) and (1.2) is analogous). Various normed spaces of generalized smoothness over Rn were studied by means of the interpolation with a function parameter in [29, 11].

2. An elliptic operator over a closed manifold We recall that Γ is a closed (compact and without a boundary) inﬁnitely smooth manifold of an arbitrary dimension n ≥ 1 and a certain C ∞ -density dx is deﬁned on Γ. We interpret D (Γ) as a space antidual to C ∞ (Γ) with respect to the extension of the inner product in L2 (Γ, dx) by continuity. This extension is denoted by (f, w)Γ for f ∈ D (Γ), w ∈ C ∞ (Γ). Let A be a classical (polyhomogeneous) pseudodiﬀerential operator on Γ of an arbitrary order r ∈ R. The complete symbol of A is an inﬁnitely smooth complexvalued function on the cotangent bundle T ∗ Γ. We assume that pseudodiﬀerential operator A is elliptic on Γ. The mapping u → Au is a linear continuous operator on the space D (Γ). We will investigate the restriction of this operator to spaces of the reﬁned scale over Γ. Let us denote by A+ a pseudodiﬀerential operator formally adjoint to A with respect to the sesquilinear form (·, ·)Γ . Since both A and A+ are elliptic on Γ, both spaces , N := { u ∈ C ∞ (Γ) : Au = 0 on Γ } , N + := v ∈ C ∞ (Γ) : A+ v = 0 on Γ are ﬁnite-dimensional. Let us recall the following: a linear bounded operator T : X → Y is called a Fredholm one if its kernel is ﬁnite-dimensional and its range T (X) is closed in the space Y and has the ﬁnite codimension therein. Here X and Y are Hilbert spaces. The Fredholm operator T has the ﬁnite index ind T := dim ker T − dim(Y / T (X)). Theorem 2.1. A restriction of the mapping u → Au, u ∈ D (Γ), establishes the linear bounded operator A : H s,ϕ (Γ) → H s−r, ϕ (Γ)

for each s ∈ R, ϕ ∈ M.

(2.1)

This operator is a Fredholm one, has the kernel N and the range , f ∈ H s−r, ϕ (Γ) : (f, v)Γ = 0 ∀ v ∈ N + . The index of the operator (2.1) is equal to dim N − dim N + and does not depend on s and ϕ.

Theorem 2.2. For arbitrarily chosen parameters s ∈ R, ϕ ∈ M, and σ < s, the following a priori estimate holds true: u H s,ϕ (Γ) ≤ c Au H s−r, ϕ (Γ) + u H σ,ϕ (Γ) , u ∈ H s,ϕ (Γ). Here the number c > 0 does not depend on u. If the spaces N and N + are trivial, then the operator (2.1) is a topological isomorphism. Generally, it is convenient to construct the isomorphism with the help of two projectors. Let us decompose the spaces from (2.1) into the following direct sums of (closed) subspaces: , H s,ϕ (Γ) = N u ∈ H s,ϕ (Γ) : (u, w)Γ = 0 ∀ w ∈ N , , H s−r, ϕ (Γ) = N + f ∈ H s−r, ϕ (Γ) : (f, v)Γ = 0 ∀ v ∈ N + . We denote by P and P + respectively the projectors of these spaces on the second terms in the sums in parallel to the ﬁrst terms. The projectors do not depend on s, ϕ. Theorem 2.3. Let s ∈ R and ϕ ∈ M. The restriction of the operator (2.1) to the subspace P (H s,ϕ (Γ)) establishes the topological isomorphism A : P (H s,ϕ (Γ)) ↔ P + (H s−r, ϕ (Γ)). Theorems 2.1–2.3 were proved in [48, Sec. 4]. They specify, with regard to the reﬁned scale, the known theorems on properties of an elliptic pseudodiﬀerential operator on the Sobolev scale (see [22, Theorem 19.2.1] or [4, Theorems 2.3.3, 2.3.12]). Note that the boundedness of the operator (2.1) holds true without the assumption about ellipticity of A. If dim Γ ≥ 2, then the index of operator (2.1) is equal to zero [7], [4, Sec. 2.3 f]. In the case where dim Γ = 1, the index can be nonzero. There is a class of elliptic operators depending on a complex parameter (so-called parameter elliptic operators) such that N = N + = {0} for all values of the parameter suﬃciently large in modulus [4, Sec. 4.1]. Moreover for a solution to a parameter elliptic equation, a certain two-sided a priory estimate holds with constants independent of the parameter. Such an estimate was obtained for the reﬁned scale in [48, Theorem 6.1]. The analogs of Theorems 2.1–2.3 for diﬀerent types of elliptic matrix operators were proved in [46, 49, 42]. Let us study a local smoothness of an elliptic equation solution in the reﬁned scale. Let Γ0 be an nonempty open set on the manifold Γ. We denote , s,ϕ (Γ0 ) := f ∈ D (Γ) : χ f ∈ H s,ϕ (Γ) ∀ χ ∈ C ∞ (Γ), supp χ ⊆ Γ0 . Hloc Theorem 2.4. Let u ∈ D (Γ) be a solution to the equation Au = f on Γ0 with s,ϕ s+r, ϕ (Γ0 ) for some s ∈ R and ϕ ∈ M. Then u ∈ Hloc (Γ0 ). f ∈ Hloc This theorem and the analog of Theorem 1.1 (vi) for the reﬁned scale over Γ imply the following suﬃcient condition for a solution u to have continuous derivatives of a prescribed order.

Theorem 2.5. Let u ∈ D (Γ) be a solution to the equation Au = f on Γ0 , where k−r+n/2, ϕ f ∈ Hloc (Γ0 ) for a certain integer k ≥ 0 and a function parameter ϕ satisfying inequality (1.5). Then u ∈ C k (Γ0 ). Theorems 2.4 and 2.5 were proved in [48, Sec. 5]. Theorem 2.5 shows an advantage of the reﬁned scale over the Sobolev scale when a classical smoothness of a solution is under investigation. Indeed, if we restrict ourselves to the case of k−r+n/2, ϕ (Γ0 ) with the condition f ∈ ϕ ≡ 1, we have to replace the condition f ∈ Hloc k−r+ε+n/2, 1 Hloc (Γ0 ) for some ε > 0. The last condition is far stronger than previous one. The analogs of Theorems 2.4 and 2.5 for elliptic matrix operators were proved in [46, 49, 42]. A local regularity of an elliptic system solution in the Sobolev scale was investigated in [20, Sec. 10.6]. We also note that, in the H¨ ormander spaces, regularity properties of solutions to hypoelliptic partial diﬀerential equations with constant coeﬃcients were studied in [20, Ch. IV], [21, Ch. 11] At the end of this section we give, with the help of A, an alternative and equivalent deﬁnition of the reﬁned scale over the closed manifold Γ. Let us assume that ord A = r > 0 and that the operator A : C ∞ (Γ) → C ∞ (Γ) is positive in the space L2 (Γ, dx). We denote by A0 the closure of this operator in L2 (Γ, dx). Let s ∈ R, ϕ ∈ M, and ϕs,r (t) := ts/r ϕ(t1/r ) for t ≥ 1

and ϕs,r (t) := ϕ(1) for 0 < t < 1.

The operator ϕs,r (A0 ) is regarded in L2 (Γ, dx) as the Borel function ϕs,r of the self-adjoint operator A0 . Theorem 2.6. For arbitrary s ∈ R and ϕ ∈ M, the space H s,ϕ (Γ) coincides with the completion of the set of all functions u ∈ C ∞ (Γ) with respect to the norm ϕs,r (A0 ) u L2 (Γ) , which is equivalent to the norm u H s,ϕ (Γ) . An important example of the operator A mentioned above is the operator 1 − /Γ , where /Γ is the Beltrami-Laplace operator on the Riemannian manifold Γ (then r = 2). Theorem 2.6 was proved in [40, Sec 3.8]. For equivalent deﬁnition of the Sobolev scale over Γ, the powers of A0 is used instead of the regular varying function ϕs (see [4, Sec 5.3]).

3. An elliptic boundary problem on the one-sided scale Let us recall that Ω is a bounded domain in Rn , were n ≥ 2, and that its boundary ∂Ω is a closed inﬁnitely smooth manifold of the dimension n − 1. We consider the nonhomogeneous boundary problem in the domain Ω: Lu ≡ lμ Dμ u = f in Ω, (3.1) Bj u ≡

|μ|≤mj

|μ|≤2q

bj,μ Dμ u = gj on ∂Ω, j = 1, . . . , q.

Here L and Bj are linear partial diﬀerential expressions with complex-valued coeﬃcients lμ ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ) and bj,μ ∈ C ∞ (∂Ω). We suppose that ord L = 2q is an even positive number and ord Bj = mj ≤ 2q − 1 for all j = 1, . . . , q. Let m := max {m1 , . . . , mq }. In what follows the boundary problem (3.1), (3.2) is assumed to be regular elliptic. It means that the expression L is proper elliptic in Ω, and the system B := (B1 , . . . , Bq ) of the boundary expressions is normal and satisﬁes the complementing condition with respect to L on ∂Ω (see [27], [63, Sec. 5.2.1]). It follows from the condition of normality that all numbers mj , j = 1, . . . , q, are distinct. We will investigate the mapping u → (Lu, Bu) in appropriate spaces of the reﬁned scales. To describe the range of this mapping, we consider the boundary problem L+ v = ω in Ω, (3.3) Bj+ v = hj on ∂Ω, j = 1, . . . , q,

(3.5) Here L+ is the linear diﬀerential expression formally adjoint to L, and {Bj+ }, {Cj }, {Cj+ } are some normal systems of linear diﬀerential boundary expressions. Their coeﬃcients are inﬁnitely smooth, and their orders satisfy the equalities ord L+ = 2q,

ord Bj + ord Cj+ = ord Cj + ord Bj+ = 2q − 1.

+ We denote m+ j := ord Bj . In (3.5) and bellow, the notations (·, ·)Ω and (·, ·)∂Ω stand for the inner products in the spaces L2 (Ω) and L2 (∂Ω) respectively, and also denote the extensions by continuity of these products. We set

N := {u ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ) : Lu = 0 in Ω, Bj u = 0 on ∂Ω, N + := {v ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ) : L+ v = 0 in Ω, Bj+ v = 0 on ∂Ω,

j = 1, . . . , q}, j = 1, . . . , q}.

Since both problems (3.1), (3.2) and (3.3), (3.4) are regular elliptic, both spaces N and N + are ﬁnite dimensional. Theorem 3.1. Let s > m + 1/2 and ϕ ∈ M. The mapping (L, B) : u → (Lu, B1 u, . . . , Bq u),

u ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ),

is extended by a continuity to the bounded linear operator (L, B) : H s,ϕ (Ω) → H s−2q, ϕ (Ω) ⊕

This operator is a Fredholm one. Its kernel coincides with N , and its range is equal to the set q % & (f, g1 , . . . , gq ) ∈ Hs,ϕ (Ω, ∂Ω) : (f, v)Ω + (gj , Cj+ v)∂Ω = 0 ∀ v ∈ N + . (3.8) j=1

The index of the operator (3.7) is equal to dim N − dim N + and does not depend on s, ϕ. In this theorem and in the next theorems of the section, the condition s > m + 1/2 is essential. Indeed, if s < mj + 1/2 for some j = 1, . . . , q, then the mapping u → Bj u, u ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ), cannot be extended to the continuous linear operator Bj : H s,ϕ (Ω) → D (∂Ω). Thus the operator (3.6) is correctly deﬁned on the upper reﬁned one-sided scale {H s,ϕ (Ω) : s > m + 1/2, ϕ ∈ M . Hence the left-hand sides of equations (3.1), (3.2) is deﬁned for each u ∈ H s,ϕ (Ω) with s > m + 1/2, whereas these equations are understood in the theory of distributions. Theorem 3.2. For arbitrarily chosen parameters s > m + 1/2, ϕ ∈ M, and σ < s, the following a priori estimate holds true: u H s,ϕ (Ω) ≤ c (L, B)u Hs,ϕ (Ω,∂Ω) + u H σ,ϕ (Ω) , u ∈ H s,ϕ (Ω). Here the number c > 0 does not depend on u. If the spaces N and N + are trivial, then the operator (3.7) is a topological isomorphism. In general, we can get the isomorphism with the help of two projectors. Let the spaces in which the operator (3.7) acts be decomposed into the following direct sums of subspaces: , H s,ϕ (Ω) = N u ∈ H s,ϕ (Ω) : (u, w)Ω = 0 ∀ w ∈ N , , Hs,ϕ (Ω, ∂Ω) = (v, 0, . . . , 0) : v ∈ N + (3.8). We denote by P and Q+ respectively the projectors of these spaces on the second terms in the sums in parallel to the ﬁrst terms. The projectors are independent of s and ϕ. Theorem 3.3. Let s > m + 1/2 and ϕ ∈ M. The restriction of the operator (3.7) to the subspace P(H s,ϕ (Ω)) establishes the topological isomorphism (L, B) : P(H s,ϕ (Ω)) ↔ Q+ (Hs,ϕ (Ω, ∂Ω)). Theorems 3.1–3.3 were proved in [34, Sec. 4]. The boundedness of the operator (3.7) holds true without the assumption that the boundary problem (3.1), (3.2) is elliptic. In the paper [62] this problem was studied in a diﬀerent scale of the H¨ormander spaces (also called a reﬁned one). Theorems 3.1–3.3 specify, with regard to the reﬁned scale, the known theorems on properties of an elliptic boundary problem in the Sobolev one-sided scale (see [1, Ch. V], [27, Ch. 2, Sec. 5.4], [22, Ch.

20], [5, Sec 2, 4]). The analogs of Theorems 3.1–3.3 are valid for nonregular elliptic boundary problems [34] and for elliptic problems for systems of partial diﬀerential equations [47]. The case where the boundary operators have distinct orders on diﬀerent connected components of the domain Ω was considered especially in [45]. There is a class of elliptic boundary problems depending on a parameter λ ∈ C such that N = N + = {0} for |λ| ! 1, and hence the index of the corresponding operator is equal to 0 for all λ (see [2, 3], [5, Sec. 3]). For a solution to such a parameter elliptic problem, a certain two-sided a priory estimate holds with constants independent of the parameter λ ∈ C with |λ| ! 1. Such an estimate was obtained for the reﬁned scale in [35, Theorem 7.2]. Regular elliptic boundary problems in positive one-sided scales of diﬀerent normed spaces were studied in [1, 63, 64]. Now we study an increase in a local smoothness of an elliptic boundary problem solution. Let U be an open subset in Rn . We set Ω0 := U ∩ Ω = ∅ and Γ0 := U ∩ ∂Ω (the case were Γ0 = ∅ is possible). Let us introduce the following local analogs of spaces of the reﬁned scales: , σ,ϕ Hloc (Ω0 , Γ0 ) := u ∈ D (Ω) : χ u ∈ H σ,ϕ (Ω) ∀ χ ∈ C ∞ (Ω), supp χ ⊆ Ω0 ∪ Γ0 , , σ,ϕ Hloc (Γ0 ) := h ∈ D (∂Ω) : χ h ∈ H σ,ϕ (∂Ω) ∀ χ ∈ C ∞ (∂Ω), supp χ ⊆ Γ0 . Here σ ∈ R, ϕ ∈ M and, as usual, D (Ω) denotes the topological space of all distributions in Ω. Theorem 3.4. Let s > m + 1/2 and η ∈ M. Suppose that the distribution u ∈ H s,η (Ω) is a solution to the problem (3.1), (3.2), where s−2q+ε, ϕ (Ω0 , Γ0 ) f ∈ Hloc

and

s−mj −1/2+ε, ϕ

gj ∈ Hloc

for some ε ≥ 0 and ϕ ∈ M. Then u ∈

(Γ0 ),

j = 1, . . . , q,

s+ε, ϕ Hloc (Ω0 , Γ0 ).

Note that in the case where Ω0 = Ω and Γ0 = ∂Ω we have the global smoothness increase (i.e., the increase in the whole closed domain Ω). If Γ0 = ∅, then we get an interior smoothness increase (in an open subset Ω0 ⊆ Ω). Theorems 3.4 and 1.1 (vi) imply the following suﬃcient condition for the solution u to be classical. Theorem 3.5. Let s > m + 1/2 and χ ∈ M. Suppose that the distribution u ∈ H s,χ (Ω) is a solution to the problem (3.1), (3.2) in which n/2, ϕ

f ∈ Hloc

(Ω, ∅) ∩ H m−2q+n/2, ϕ (Ω),

gj ∈ H m−mj +(n−1)/2, ϕ (∂Ω), j = 1, . . . , q, and the function parameter ϕ ∈ M satisﬁes condition (1.5). Then the solution u is classical, that is u ∈ C 2q (Ω) ∩ C m ( Ω ). Theorems 3.4, 3.5 were proved in [35, Sec. 5, 6] (generally, for a non regular elliptic problem). The analog of Theorem 3.4 is valid for elliptic boundary problems for systems of partial diﬀerential equations [47]. In the Sobolev positive one-sided scale (s ≥ 0, ϕ ≡ 1), a smoothness of solutions to elliptic boundary problems was investigated in [52, 10, 59], [9, Ch. 3, Sec. 4] (see also [5, Sec. 2.4]).

4. Semihomogeneous elliptic problems 4.1. As we have mentioned, the results of Section 3 are not valid for s < m + 1/2 because the mapping (3.6) cannot be extended to the bounded linear operator (3.7). But if the boundary problem (3.1), (3.2) is semihomogeneous (i.e., f ≡ 0 or all gj ≡ 0), it establishes a bounded and Fredholm operator in the two-sided reﬁned scale (for all real s). We will consider separately the case of the homogeneous elliptic equation (3.1) and the case of the homogeneous boundary conditions (3.2). 4.2. A boundary problem for a homogeneous elliptic equation Let us consider the regular elliptic boundary problem (3.1), (3.2), provided that f ≡ 0: Lu = 0 on Ω, Bj u = gj on ∂Ω, j = 1, . . . , q. (4.1) We will connect the following spaces with this problem: , KL∞ (Ω) := u ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ) : L u = 0 in Ω , , KLs,ϕ (Ω) := u ∈ H s,ϕ (Ω) : L u = 0 in Ω for s ∈ R, ϕ ∈ M. It follows from a continuity of the embedding H s,ϕ (Ω) → D (Ω) that KLs,ϕ (Ω) is a closed subspace in H s,ϕ (Ω). We can consider KLs,ϕ (Ω) as a Hilbert space with respect to the inner product in H s,ϕ (Ω). Theorem 4.1. Let s ∈ R and ϕ ∈ M. The set KL∞ (Ω) is dense in the space KLs,ϕ (Ω). The mapping u → Bu = (B1 u, . . . , Bq u),

u ∈ KL∞ (Ω),

is extended by a continuity to the bounded linear operator B : KLs,ϕ (Ω) →

This operator is a Fredholm one. Its kernel coincides with N , and its range is equal to the set q & % (g1 , . . . , gq ) ∈ Hs,ϕ (∂Ω) : (gj , Cj+ v)∂Ω = 0 ∀ v ∈ N + . j=1

The index of the operator (4.2) is equal to dim N − dim G + where , G + := C1+ v, . . . , Cq+ v : v ∈ N + , and does not depend on s, ϕ. Theorem 4.1 was proved in [38, Sec. 6]. In contrast to Theorem 3.1, the ellipticity condition is essential for the boundedness of the operator (4.2) in the case where s ≤ m + 1/2. Note that dim G + ≤ dim N + where the strict inequality is possible that results from [21, Theorem 13.6.15]. In the case where ϕ ≡ 1 and s ∈ R\{−1/2, −3/2, −5/2, . . .} Theorem 4.1 is a consequence of the Lions–Magenes Theorems [27, Ch. 2, Sec. 6.6, 7.3] (see also [25, 26] and [28, Sec. 6.10, 6.12]).

4.3. An elliptic problem with homogeneous boundary conditions Now we will consider the regular elliptic boundary problem (3.1), (3.2), provided that all gj ≡ 0: Lu = f in Ω,

Bj u = 0 on ∂Ω,

j = 1, . . . , q.

(4.3)

Let us introduce the function spaces in which the operator of the problem (4.3) acts. For the sake of brevity, we denote by (b.c.) the homogeneous boundary conditions in (4.3). In addition, we denote by (b.c.)+ the homogeneous boundary conditions Bj+ v = 0 on ∂Ω, j = 1, . . . , q. They correspond to the formally adjoint boundary problem (3.3), (3.4). We set , C ∞ (b.c.) := u ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ) : Bj u = 0 on ∂Ω, j = 1, . . . , q , , C ∞ (b.c.)+ := v ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ) : Bj+ v = 0 on ∂Ω, j = 1, . . . , q . Let s ∈ R and ϕ ∈ M. We deﬁne the Hilbert space H s,ϕ,(0) (Ω) in the following way:

+ H

s,ϕ,(0)

(Ω) :=

H s,ϕ (Ω) HΩs,ϕ (Rn )

for s ≥ 0, for s < 0.

According to Theorem 1.1 (iii), (vii), the spaces H s,ϕ,(0) (Ω) and H −s,1/ϕ,(0) (Ω) are mutually dual for every s ∈ R with respect to the inner product in L2 (Ω). It also follows from Theorem 1.1 (i), (ii) that the set C ∞ ( Ω ) is dense in the space H s,ϕ,(0) (Ω) for each s ∈ R. Here we identify each function f ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ) with its extension by zero + Of (x) :=

f (x) 0

for x ∈ Ω, for x ∈ Rn \ Ω

(4.4)

which is a regular distribution in HΩs,ϕ (Rn ) for s < 0. Now one may conclude that Theorem 1.1 (iii), (iv) implies the continuous dense embedding H s1 ,ϕ1 ,(0) (Ω) → H s,ϕ,(0) (Ω) for − ∞ < s < s1 < ∞, and ϕ, ϕ1 ∈ M. Finally, let us deﬁne the Hilbert spaces H s,ϕ (b.c.) and H s,ϕ (b.c.)+ of distributions satisfying the homogeneous boundary conditions. In the case where s∈ / {mj + 1/2 : j = 1, . . . , q} we denote by H s,ϕ (b.c.) the closure of C ∞ (b.c.) in the space H s,ϕ,(0) (Ω). In the case where s ∈ {mj + 1/2 : j = 1, . . . , q} we deﬁne the space H s,ϕ (b.c.) by means of the interpolation with the parameter ψ(t) = t1/2 : (4.5) H s,ϕ (b.c.) := H s−1/2, ϕ (b.c.), H s+1/2, ϕ (b.c.) t1/2 . If we change (b.c.) for (b.c.)+ , and mj for m+ j in the last two sentences, we give the s,ϕ + deﬁnition of the space H (b.c.) . Note that in the case where s ∈ {mj +1/2 : j = 1, . . . , q} the norms in the spaces H s,ϕ (b.c.) and H s,ϕ,(0) (Ω) are not equivalent. The analogous fact is true for H s,ϕ (b.c.)+ .

Proposition 4.1. Let s > 0, s = mj + 1/2 for all j = 1, . . . , q, and ϕ ∈ M. Then , H s,ϕ (b.c.) = u ∈ H s,ϕ (Ω) : Bj u = 0 on ∂Ω for all j = 1, . . . , q such that s > mj + 1/2 . If s < 1/2, then H s,ϕ (b.c.) = H s,ϕ,(0) (Ω). This proposition remains true if we + + change mj for m+ j , (b.c.) for (b.c.) , and Bj for Bj . Theorem 4.2. Let s ∈ R and ϕ ∈ M. The mapping u → Lu, u ∈ C ∞ (b.c.), is extended by a continuity to the bounded linear operator L : H s,ϕ (b.c.) → (H 2q−s, 1/ϕ (b.c.)+ ) .

(4.6)

Here the function Lu is interpreted as the functional (Lu, · )Ω , whereas (H 2q−s, 1/ϕ (b.c.)+ ) denotes the antidual space to H 2q−s, 1/ϕ (b.c.)+ with respect to the inner product in L2 (Ω). The operator (4.6) is a Fredholm one. Its kernel coincides with N , and its range is equal to the set , f ∈ (H 2q−s, 1/ϕ (b.c.)+ ) : (f, v)Ω = 0 ∀ v ∈ N + . The index of the operator (4.6) is equal to dim N − dim N + and does not depend on s, ϕ. Theorem 4.2 was proved in [39, Sec. 5], provided that s = j − 1/2 for each j = 1, . . . , 2q. For the rest values of s, the theorem is deduced by means of the interpolation formula (4.5). The analogs of Theorems 3.2–3.4 was obtained for the operator (4.6) as well (see also [32]). Theorem 4.2 speciﬁes, with regard to the reﬁned scale, the theorem of Berezansky, Krein and Roitberg on homeomorphisms realized by the elliptic operator L on the two-sided Sobolev scale [8], [9, Ch. 3, Sec. 6], [57, Sec. 5.5]. In the case of s ≤ m + 1/2 the ellipticity condition is essential for the boundedness of the operator (4.6). The interpolation space (4.5) was studied in the Sobolev case of ϕ ≡ 1 in [16, 60] (see also [63, Sec. 4.3.3]). 4.4. We note that the general nonhomogeneous boundary problem (3.1), (3.2) cannot be reduced to the semihomogeneous boundary problems in the lower part of the reﬁned scale, namely for s < m + 1/2. Indeed, if s < −1/2, then solutions to these problems belong to the spaces of distributions of the diﬀerent nature; solutions to the problem (4.1) belong to KLs,ϕ (Ω) ⊂ H s,ϕ (Ω) being distributions deﬁned in the open domain Ω, whereas solutions to the problem (4.3) belong to H s,ϕ (b.c.) ⊂ HΩs,ϕ (Rn ) being distributions supported on the closed domain Ω. If −1/2 < s < m + 1/2, then solutions to the semihomogeneous problems are distributions deﬁned in Ω (see Theorem 1.1 (iii) in the case −1/2 < s < 0), but the operator (L, B) cannot be correctly deﬁned on KLs,ϕ (Ω) ∪ H s,ϕ (b.c.) because of the inequality (KLs,ϕ (Ω) ∩ H s,ϕ (b.c.)) \ N = ∅. (4.7) Note also that in the case where s > m + 1/2 we have the equality of sets in (4.7). Hence the nonhomogeneous problem (3.1), (3.2) is reduced to the semiho-

mogeneous problems (4.1) and (4.3); i.e., Theorem 3.1 is equivalent to Theorems 4.1 and 4.2 taken together.

5. Generic theorems for elliptic problems in two-sided scales In [55, 57, 58] Ya.A. Roitberg introduced a special modiﬁcation of the Sobolev two-sided scale in which the operator of an elliptic boundary problem is bounded and a Fredholm one for every parameter s ∈ R (see also [9, Ch. 3, Sec. 6], [5, Sec. 7.9]). This modiﬁcation does not depend on coeﬃcients of the elliptic diﬀerential expression but depends solely on the order of the expression. Therefore, the theorems on properties of elliptic problems in such modiﬁed scale is naturally to call generic (for the class of the problems having the same order). We will consider these theorems with regard to the reﬁned scale. Let s ∈ R, ϕ ∈ M, and integer r > 0. We set Er := {k − 1/2 : k = 1, . . . , r}. In the case where s ∈ R \ Er we denote by H s,ϕ,(r) (Ω) the completion of C ∞ ( Ω ) with respect to the Hilbert norm r 1/2 > k−1 > >(Dν u) ∂Ω >2 s−k+1/2,ϕ u H s,ϕ,(r) (Ω) := u 2H s,ϕ,(0) (Ω) + . H (∂Ω) k=1

Here Dν := i ∂/∂ν, with ν being the unit vector of the inner normal to ∂Ω. In the case where s ∈ Er we set H s,ϕ,(r) (Ω) := H s−1/2,ϕ,(r) (Ω), H s+1/2,ϕ,(r) (Ω) t1/2 . The collection of separable Hilbert spaces {H s,ϕ,(r) (Ω) : s ∈ R, ϕ ∈ M }

(5.1)

is called the reﬁned scale modiﬁed in the Roitberg sense. The number r is called the index of this modiﬁcation. The scale (5.1) admits the following description. Let us denote by Υs,ϕ,(r) (Ω, ∂Ω) the space of all vector-functions (u0 , u1 , . . . , ur ) ∈ H s,ϕ,(0) (Ω) ⊕

r Q

such that uk = (Dνk−1 u0 ) ∂Ω for every integer k = 1, . . . r satisfying the inequality s > k − 1/2. In view of Theorem 1.1 (viii), Υs,ϕ,(r) (Ω, ∂Ω) is a Hilbert space with respect to the inner product in the space (5.2). Proposition 5.1. The mapping Tr : u → u, u ∂Ω, . . . , (Dνr−1 u) ∂Ω ,

u ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ),

is extended by a continuity to the bounded linear injective operator Tr : H s,ϕ,(r) (Ω) → Υs,ϕ,(r)(Ω, ∂Ω)

(5.3)

far all s ∈ R and ϕ ∈ M. If s ∈ / Er , then the operator (5.3) is an isometric isomorphism.

471

Thus, we can interpret an element u ∈ H s,ϕ,(r) (Ω) as the vector-valued function (u0 , u1 , . . . , ur ) := Tr u ∈ Υs,ϕ,(r)(Ω, ∂Ω). Note that in view of Theorem 1.1 (viii)

(5.4)

u H s,ϕ,(r) (Ω) 0 u0 H s,ϕ,(0) (Ω) = u0 H s,ϕ (Ω) if s > r − 1/2. Therefore H s,ϕ,(r) (Ω) = H s,ϕ (Ω) with equvivalence of norms if s > r − 1/2.

(5.5)

Theorem 5.1. Let s ∈ R and ϕ ∈ M. The mapping (3.6) is extended by a continuity to the bounded linear operator (L, B) : H s,ϕ,(2q) (Ω) → H s−2q,ϕ,(0) (Ω)⊕

q Q

H s−mj −1/2, ϕ (∂Ω) =: Hs,ϕ,(0) (Ω, ∂Ω).

(5.6) This operator is a Fredholm one. Its kernel coincides with N , and its range is equal to the set q & % (gj , Cj+ v)∂Ω = 0 ∀ v ∈ N + . (f, g1 , . . . , gq ) ∈ Hs,ϕ,(0) (Ω, ∂Ω) : (f, v)Ω + j=1

The index of the operator (5.6) is equal to dim N − dim N + and does not depend on s, ϕ. This theorem is generic because the spaces in which the operator (5.6) acts are the same for all boundary problems of the common order (2q, m1 , . . . , mq ). It follows from (5.5) that Theorem 5.1 coincides with Theorem 3.1 for s > 2q − 1/2. Using Proposition 5.1 we give the following interpretation of a solution u ∈ H s,ϕ,(2q) (Ω) to the boundary problem (3.1), (3.2) in the sense of the distribution theory. Let us write down the diﬀerential expressions L and Bj in a neighborhood of ∂Ω in the form mj 2q L= Lk Dνk , Bj = Bj,k Dνk . (5.7) k=0

Theorem 5.1 was proved in [41, Sec. 5]. The analogs of Theorems 3.2–3.4 were obtained for the operator (5.6) as well. Theorem 5.1 speciﬁes, with regard to the reﬁned scale, the theorem of Ya.A. Roitberg on the Fredholm property of a regular elliptic boundary problem in the modiﬁed Sobolev scale (so-called theorem on a complete collections of homeomorphisms) [55], [57, Sec. 4.1, 5.3] (see also [9, Ch. 3, Sec. 6], [5, Sec. 7.9]). The analogs of Theorem 5.1 are also valid for nonregular elliptic boundary problems both for one and for system of partial diﬀerential equations. Note that the boundedness of the operator (5.6) holds true without the ellipticity assumption. Elliptic boundary problems in the modiﬁed twosided scales of diﬀerent normed spaces were studied in [57] (the Sobolev Lp -spaces) and in [50, 51] (non-Sobolev spaces). A certain classes of non-elliptic problems were investigated in the two-sided modiﬁed scales as well (see [58], [13] and the references therein).

6. Individual theorems for elliptic problems In the individual theorems, the domain of the operator (L, B) depends on coeﬃcients of the elliptic expression L. Namely, we consider the operator s,ϕ (L, B) : DL,X (Ω) → X(Ω) ⊕

Here s ∈ R, ϕ ∈ M, and X(Ω) is a certain Hilbert space consisting of distributions in Ω, and satisfying the continuous embedding X(Ω) → D (Ω). The domain of the operator (6.1) is the Hilbert space , s,ϕ DL,X (Ω) := u ∈ H s,ϕ (Ω) : Lu ∈ X(Ω) endowed with the graphics inner product s,ϕ (u, v)DL,X (Ω) := (u, v)H s,ϕ (Ω) + (Lu, Lv)X(Ω) .

In the case where s > m + 1/2 we can set X(Ω) := H s−2q, ϕ (Ω) that leads us to Theorem 3.1. But in the case where s ≤ m + 1/2 we cannot do so if we want to deﬁne the operator (L, B) on the non-modiﬁed reﬁned scale. The space X(Ω) must be narrower than H s−2q, ϕ (Ω).

Let us formulate the conditions on X(Ω) under which the operator (5.1) is bounded and has the Fredholm property for some s and ϕ. Condition 1. The set X ∞ (Ω) := X(Ω) ∩ C ∞ ( Ω ) is dense in the space X(Ω). Condition 2. There exists a number c > 0 such that Of H s−2q,ϕ (Rn ) ≤ c f X(Ω) ,

f ∈ X ∞ (Ω).

We recall that the function Of is given by formula (4.4). It follows from the Conditions 1 and 2 that the mapping f → Of , f ∈ X ∞ (Ω), is extended by continuity to the linear bounded operator O : X(Ω) → HΩs−2q, ϕ (Rn ). It satisﬁes the condition Of = f in Ω; i.e., O is an operator extending a distribution from Ω onto Rn . This implies the continuous embedding X(Ω) → H s−2q, ϕ (Ω). Theorem 6.1. Let s < 2q − 1/2, s + 1/2 ∈ / Z, and ϕ ∈ M. We assume that a Hilbert space X(Ω) is continuously embedded into D (Ω) and satisﬁes Conditions 1, 2. Then the following assertions hold true: ∞ (i) The set DL,X (Ω) := { u ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ) : Lu ∈ X(Ω) } is dense in the space s,ϕ DL,X (Ω). ∞ (Ω), is extended by a continuity to the (ii) The mapping (3.6), where u ∈ DL,X linear bounded operator (6.1). (iii) The operator (6.1) is a Fredholm one. Its kernel coincides with N , and its range is equal to the set q % & (f, g1 , . . . , gq ) ∈ Xs,ϕ (Ω, ∂Ω) : (f, v)Ω + (gj , Cj+ v)∂Ω = 0 ∀ v ∈ N + . j=1

(iv) If the set O(X ∞ (Ω)) is dense in the space HΩs−2q, ϕ (Rn ), then the index of the operator (6.1) is equal to dim N − dim N + . Conditions 1 and 2 allow us to vary the space X(Ω) in a broad fashion. We especially note two possible options of X(Ω). The ﬁrst of them is the choice X(Ω) := H σ,η (Ω) for arbitrary ﬁxed parameters σ > −1/2 and η ∈ M. Theorem 6.2. Let s < 2q−1/2, s+1/2 ∈ / Z, σ > −1/2, and ϕ, η ∈ M. The mapping (3.6) is extended by a continuity to the bounded and the Fredholm operator q Q , (L,B) : u ∈ H s,ϕ (Ω) : Lu ∈ H σ,η (Ω) → H σ,η (Ω) ⊕ H s−mj −1/2,ϕ (∂Ω),

The case where σ = 0 and η ≡ 1, i.e., X(Ω) := H 0,1 (Ω) = L2 (Ω), is of great importance in the spectral theory of elliptic operators [17, 18, 30, 31]. The condition σ > −1/2 is essential in Theorem 2, that does not allow us to consider the boundary problem (3.1), (3.2) for an arbitrary distribution f ∈ D (Ω) supported on a compact subset in Ω. Here the important example is f (x) := δ(x − x0 ), where x0 ∈ Ω. The following construction of the space X(Ω) has not this demerit. We consider the set of weight functions , Wk∞ ( Ω ) := ρ ∈ C ∞ ( Ω ) : ρ > 0 in Ω, Dνj ρ = 0 on ∂Ω, j = 0, . . . , k , where integer k ≥ 0. ∞ Let s < 2q − 1/2, ϕ ∈ M, and ρ ∈ W[2q−s−1/2] ( Ω ). (As usual, [t] denotes the integral part of t.) We consider the space , ρH s−2q, ϕ (Ω) := f = ρv : v ∈ H s−2q, ϕ (Ω) endowed with the inner product f1 , f2 ρH s−2q, ϕ (Ω) := ρ−1 f1 , ρ−1 f2 H s−2q, ϕ (Ω) . The space X(Ω) = ρH s−2q, ϕ (Ω) is Hilbert separable and satisﬁes Conditions 1, 2. ∞ ( Ω ). The Theorem 6.3. Let s < 2q −1/2, s+1/2 ∈ / Z, ϕ ∈ M, and ρ ∈ W[2q−s−1/2] ∞ s−2q, ϕ (Ω), is extended by a continuity mapping (3.6), where u ∈ C ( Ω ), Lu ∈ ρH to the bounded and the Fredholm operator , (L, B) : u ∈ H s,ϕ (Ω) : Lu ∈ ρH s−2q, ϕ (Ω)

ρ(·) = (dist(·, ∂Ω))δ in a neighborhood of ∂Ω for δ = [2q − s + 1/2].

Theorems 6.1–6.3 were proved in [43, 44]. They are closely connected with the theorems of J.-L. Lions and E. Magenes on a solvability of elliptic boundary problems in the two-sided Sobolev scale [25, 26, 27, 28]. A theorem similar to Theorem 6.1 were proved in [28, Sec. 6.10] in the case of s ≤ 0, ϕ ≡ 1 and the Dirichlet boundary conditions. In this paper, certain diﬀerent conditions depending on the problem under consideration were imposed on X(Ω) (see also [27, Ch. 2, Sec. 6.2]). Theorem 6.2 was proved in [25, 26] in the important case ϕ ≡ χ ≡ 1

and σ = 0. Theorem 6.3 was proved in [27, Ch. 2, Sec. 6,7] in the case where ϕ ≡ 1 and the weight function ρ satisﬁes the condition (6.4) with δ = 2q − s. The similar questions were considered in [56, 24], [58, Sec. 1.3] for the modiﬁed Sobolev scale. We note that Theorems 6.2 and 6.3 are also true for half-integer values of s if we deﬁne the spaces with the help of the interpolation.

Connection of Solutions of Abstract Paired Equations in Rings with Factorization Pairs Gennadiy Poletaev Abstract. The connection between solutions of the abstract paired equations with respect to an unknown x ∈ (R1 ∩ R2 ): (a1 x)− = c− , (a2 x)+ = b+ , is considered. It is assumed that the coeﬃcients aj ∈ Rj , j = 1, 2, where R1 , R2 are the associative rings with factorization pairs (Rj+ , Rj− ) and unity e ∈ R1 ∩ R2 . Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). 45N05. Keywords. Paired equations, ring, factorization, convolution, integral.

A connection between solutions of abstract paired equations with an arbitrary right-hand side and the same equations with the multiplicative unity of a ring in right-hand side is analyzed. The cases when the coeﬃcients belong to the same or diﬀerent rings with factorization pairs are considered. The possibility of application to paired integral and paired matrix equations is pointed out. The appearance of the notion of rings with factorization pairs [1–6] and the paired equations in the forms (a1 x)− = c− (1) (a2 x)+ = b+ , is connected with the penetration of Banach algebra ideas into the theory of convolution type integral equations, which was initiated by M.G. Krein [7]. The equations of type (1) are found in investigations of integral equations with kernels depending on the diﬀerence of the arguments, including the paired equations of the convolution type: ⎧ 3∞ ⎪ ⎪ k1 (t − s)ϕ(s) ds = f (t), −∞ < t < 0, ⎨ ϕ(t) − −∞ (2) 3∞ ⎪ ⎪ k2 (t − s)ϕ(s) ds = f (t), 0 < t < ∞; ⎩ ϕ(t) − −∞

where kj (t) exp{cj t} ∈ L1 (−∞, ∞), cj ∈ R, j = 1, 2, and also in special applied tasks [1, 3, 7 – 11]. The equations (1) are subtypes of the general form of paired equations: − [a11 x a12 ] = c− (3) + [a21 x a22 ] = b+ , with respect to an unknown element x [2, 3, 11]. The abstract paired equations (1), (3) with factorizable coeﬃcients in rings with factorization pairs were, in particular, studied in [3, 11]. The results concerning the solvability of these equations through the factorization of elements which may be built with the help of coeﬃcients were presented during the international conferences [5, 12] and others. This article is devoted to the investigation of connection between solutions of the abstract paired equations (1) with respect to the unknown element x.

1. Notations, deﬁnitions, and general provisions 1.1. Following [3, 4, 6, 13], by R we shall denote any, in general, non-commutative, and, probably, non-associative ring with unity e. Let p+ , p− be commutative projectors, i. e. additive and idempotent mappings from R into R. Let us assume: p0 := p+ p− (= p− p+ ); p∓ := p∓ − p0 . For any subset B ⊆ R we shall denote: B ∓,0 := p∓,0 B; B∓ := p∓ B; B ∗ := B + + B − ; B∗ := B+ + B− . For any x ∈ R we note x∓,0 := p∓,0 x; x∓ := p∓ x. The inverse in R of an element x ∈ R invertible in R will be denoted by the symbol x , if necessary, additionally supplied. For any subsets A, B ⊆ R we shall deﬁne the set inv(A, B) := {x ∈ A, x exists and belongs to B}. Let us denote inv(A, A) := invA. The element u+ , [the element v 0 , the element w− ] will be called correct [6], if u+ ∈ invR+ , [v 0 ∈ invR0 , w− ∈ invR− ]. 1.2. Supplementing [2,3,13], where, in particular, the concept of factorization of structures [6] is developed, and [8], we shall introduce the following deﬁnitions. Deﬁnition 1. A pair of subrings (R+ , R− ) [≡ (R− , R+ )] in ring R with unity e will be called the left factorization pair (LFP) of the ring R, if there are commutative projectors p+ , p− generated which act on R∓ := p∓ R and satisfy the following axioms: e ∈ R0 ; (4) p0 is a ring homomorphism from R+ and R− into R0 ; −

(5)

∗

(6) R R ⊆R . The right factorization pair (RFP) [2] is deﬁned similarly. It should be noted that factorizations of structures in R [6] correspond here to LFP of R. If R is commutative and whenever the pair (R+ , R− ) is simultaneously LFP and RFP of R, this pair will be called a factorization pair (FP) of the ring R. +

Deﬁnition 2. Any ring R with unity e, considered together with its ﬁxed FP (R+ , R− ) [≡ (R− , R+ )] will be called a ring with factorization pair.

Connection of Solution of Abstract Paired Equations

481

Nontrivial examples of rings with FP can be constructed by starting, for example, from rings of matrices, rings of absolute integrable functions, their appropriate transformations, and others [3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 13]. 1.3. We shall say ([3], compare with [6]) that an element a ∈ R allows in R a left factorization, l.f., (right factorization, r.f.) by a pair (R+ , R− ) if there are elements r+ ∈ R+ , s0 ∈ R0 , t− ∈ R− such that a = r + s 0 t− ,

(a = t− s0 r+ ).

The multipliers r+ ∈ R+ , s0 ∈ R0 , t− ∈ R− are referred to as plus-, diagonaland minus-factors, respectively. An l.f. (r.f.) is referred to as correct left factorization, c.l.f., (correct right factorization, c.r.f.) if r+ ∈ R+ , s0 ∈ R0 , t− ∈ R− are correct elements; – as normalized left factorization, n.l.f., (normalized right factorization, n.r.f.) if t0 = r0 = e, and as normalized correct left factorization, n.c.l.f., (normalized correct right factorization, n.c.r.f.) if it is both c.l.f. (c.r.f.) and t0 = r0 = e. 1.4. When the problem of solvability of the abstract paired equations (1), (3) is posed in a ring R with the factorization pair (R+ , R− ), an element x ∈ R∗ will be considered as unknown, and the rest of the elements will be assumed to be given. We also assume that c− ∈ R− , b+ ∈ R+ and the coeﬃcients a1 , a2 , a11 ,a12 ,a21 ,a22 are invertible in R. It is assumed that a solution to the paired equation (1) is an element x ∈ R such that the corresponding right-hand and left-hand sides of equations (1) coincide after x is substituted into them. The problem of solvability of paired equation (1) in R1∩2 := R1 ∩ R2 in the case where the coeﬃcients ai ∈ Ri ; i = 1, 2, R1 and R2 are the rings with factorization pairs, with unity e ∈ R1∩2 and common multiplication [3], may be posed as well. In this case, we deﬁne R1∪2 := (R1 + R2 ). Below, we shall assume that the following conditions hold: R1− ⊆ R2− ,

R1+ ⊇ R2+ .

2. Main result ∗ 2.1. Solution xe ∈ R1∩2 of abstract paired equation (1) with coeﬃcients ai ; i = 1, 2 invertible in their rings Ri for the right-hand side c− = b+ = e plays a special role in the theory of solvability of these equations. Under some conditions, the ∗ solution x ∈ R1∩2 of (1) with arbitrary right-hand part c− ∈ R1− , b+ ∈ R2+ can be expressed through it.

Let R1 , R2 be associative and, in general, non-commutative rings with common multiplication, common unity e ∈ R1∩2 , and FP (Rj+ , Rj− ) generated by commutating projectors p+ , p− : R1∪2 → R1∪2 , so that conditions (7) hold true, and the coeﬃcients of equations (1) aj ∈ invRj∗ ; j = 1, 2.

Let the abstract paired equation:

(a1 xe )− (a2 xe )+

= e, = e,

(8)

∗ in R1∩2 which has the inverse have a solution xe ∈ R1∩2

[xe ]R∗1 := [xe ]R1 ∈ R1∗ , [xe ]R∗2 := [xe ]R2 ∈ R2∗ . Then for any right-hand part (c− , b+ ), c− ∈ R1− , b+ ∈ R2+ , by the compatibility condition [(a1 xe )R∗1 c− ]0 = [(a2 xe )R∗2 b+ ]0 , (9) ∗ the solution x ∈ R1∩2 of (1) in R1∩2 can be represented as

x = xe {[(a2 xe )R∗2 b+ ]+ + [(a1 xe )R∗1 c− ]− }.

(10)

[Here, (aj xe )R∗ are the inverses of aj xe in Rj , which exist and belong to Rj∗ ; j j = 1, 2 under the assumptions of Theorem 1.] Proof. Under the assumptions of Theorem 1 and for any c− ∈ R1− , b+ ∈ R2+ , ∗ the right-hand side of formula (10) is meaningful and is an element x ∈ R1∩2 . Substituting this element x into the left-hand side of the paired equation (1) and transforming it with the help of ring operations acting in Rj ; j = 1, 2, and projectors p+ , p− , one can be convinced that it satisﬁes the equation (1) if the compatibility condition (9) holds. Indeed, (a1 x)− = (a1 xe {[(a2 xe )R∗2 b+ ]+ + [(a1 xe )R∗1 c− ]− })− = {(a1 xe )+ [(a2 xe )R2 b+ ]+ }0 + (a1 xe {(a1 xe )R1 c− − [(a1 xe )R1 c− ]+ })− = (a1 xe )0 [(a2 xe )R2 b+ ]0 + [a1 xe (a1 xe )R1 c− ]− − {(a1 xe )+ [(a1 xe )R1 c− ]+ }0 = [(a2 xe )R2 b+ ]0 + c− − [(a1 xe )R1 c− ]0 = c− . Similarly, it can be proved that (a2 x)+ = (a2 xe {[(a2 xe )R∗2 b+ ]+ + [(a1 xe )R∗1 c− ]− })+ = b+ .

Theorem is proved. 2.2. If R1 = R2 = R, then from Theorem 1 it follows

Theorem 2. Let R be an associative and, in general, non-commutative ring with unity e and FP (R+ , R− ) generated by commutating projectors p+ , p− : R → R. Let aj ∈ invR∗ be the coeﬃcients and there exists a solution xe ∈ invR∗ of the paired equation (8) invertible in R. Then for any right-hand part satisfying the compatibility condition [(a1 xe )R∗ c− ]0 = [(a2 xe )R∗ b+ ]0 ,

Connection of Solution of Abstract Paired Equations

483

one of the solutions x ∈ R∗ of (1) has the representation x = xe {[(a2 xe )R∗ b+ ]+ + [(a1 xe )R∗ c− ]− }.

(11)

In this formula, (aj xe )R∗ , j = 1, 2, denotes the corresponding inverse element in R. Let us point out that the solutions xe , having the required inverses, exist, in particular, under corresponding correct factorizations by the factorization pairs of the ring of the elements, which deﬁned by the coeﬃcients and also in some more general situations. 1 R2 = L 1 ; c 0 [2, 3, 10], then theorems 2.3. For example, if R = R1 = L, 1, 2 can be applied to paired integral equations of the convolution type (2), in particular, with kernel functions k1,2 (t) ∈ L1 (−∞, ∞) or k1 (t), k2 (t) exp(ct) ∈ L1 (−∞, ∞), c 0 [8–10]. When R = Rn×n ; n 2 [6, 14], from theorem 2 it follows the formula of connection of solutions of the corresponding paired matrix equations with unknown matrix X ∈ Rn×n and projectors p+ , (p− ) : Rn×n → Rn×n , which map each matrix from Rn×n onto the corresponding lower (upper) triangular: [A1 X]− = C − (12) + [A2 X] = B+; − + where A1 , A2 ∈ Rn×n , C − ∈ Rn×n , b+ ∈ Rn×n are given matrices. Thus, C − and + B are right- and left-triangular matrices from Rn×n respectively. 2.4. Note that for the abstract paired equation (1) in rings with factorization pairs the connection between the solutions corresponding to c− := a1− and b+ := a2+ is established as well.

The Dynamic Problems About the Deﬁnition of Stress State Near Thin Elastic Inclusions Under the Conditions of Perfect Coupling V.G. Popov, O.V. Litvin and A.P. Moysyeyenok Abstract. The isotropic unbounded elastic body (matrix), which is in the condition of plane strain and which contains a thin elastic inclusion in the form of a strip is considered. It occupies the area: |x| ≤ a, |y| ≤ h2 in the plane Oxy. It is necessary to determine the stress state in the matrix caused by the non-stationary or harmonic plane waves interacting with the inclusion. The problem is reduced to the construction of the solution of the Lame equations for plane strain, which satisﬁes the given boundary conditions on the inclusion. It is considered that under these conditions the inclusion is so thin that the displacements of any point of it coincide with the displacements of the appropriate point of a middle plane. The method of the solution is based on the presentation of the displacements and stresses caused by scattered waves in the form of the discontinuous solution of the Lame equations (in the nonstationary case in the space of the Laplace images). Stress intensity factors (SIF) are taken as amounts characterizing the stress state near the inclusion, as in a number of publications, where analogous problems were considered in the static formulation. The transition from the Laplace images to the originals is implemented numerically for non-stationary problems calculations. The numerical research of the dependence of SIF on time or frequency and the ratio of elastic constants of the matrix and the inclusion has been done. The possibility of the consideration of inclusions of large rigidity as absolutely rigid ones is analyzed. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). 74J20;74K20. Keywords. Elastic waves, thin elastic inclusions, discontinuous solution, stress intensity factor, numerical Laplace transformation, singular integral equations.

Introduction At present the dynamic stress concentration in the unbounded bodies containing thin absolutely rigid inclusions is researched fully enough. The solutions of similar harmonic and non-stationary problems in 2D and 3D formulations can be found in the articles [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. The works where the elastic properties of the inclusion are taken into account are much fewer. For example, in [7], [8], [9] the approach based on the use of the method of asymptotic decompositions is developed. Two small parameters – the ratio of the thickness of the inclusion to the typical geometrical size and the ratio of elastic properties of matrix and inclusion – are used. Basically, in these articles harmonic oscillations are considered and inclusions are considered as soft or weakly contrasting. Therefore the peculiarities of stress state near thin inclusions of large rigidity aren’t practically researched. In the present work the problems about the determination of the stress state in the unbounded body near thin elastic inclusions in the form of a strip with the interaction of elastic non-stationary and steady harmonic waves are considered.

1. Problem formulation Let the unbounded elastic body (matrix) be under the conditions of plane strain and contain an inclusion in the form of a plate with the thickness h << a. This inclusion occupies the area:|x| ≤ a, −h/2 ≤ y ≤ h/2 in the plane xOy. It is necessary to determine the stress state in the matrix caused by the non-stationary or harmonic plane longitudinal and transverse waves interacting with the inclusion. Then the displacements in the matrix can be written in the form of the sum of two items u = u0 + u1 , v = v0 + v1 , where u0 , v0 are the displacements, caused by the spreading waves, and u1 , v1 are the displacements caused by the waves scattered from the inclusion. The latter satisfy the Lame equations under the conditions of plane strain and zero initial conditions with t = 0 2 u (x, y, t) + (λ1 + μ1 ) graddiv V = −ρ1 ∂ V , V = μ1 ΔV , v (x, y, t) ∂t2 U e−iωt -under steady harmonic oscillations, V = V ∞ U e−pt dt -under non-stationary incident, = V V 0

p is the Laplace transformation parameter. Further we will use these symbols for the steady oscillations and non-stationary problems accordingly. We will consider that the inclusion is so thin, that the boundary conditions on its sides can be formulated concerning the middle plane of the inclusion. Let

both sides of the inclusion be perfectly coupled with the matrix. Then the jumps of stresses have discontinuities on the middle plane of the inclusion and these jumps are designated in the following way: T1yx (x, +0) − T1yx (x, −0) = X2 (x) , Sy1 (x, +0) − Sy1 (x, −0) = X1 (x) , |x| ≤ a,

(1.1)

χi (x) = Xi (x) e−iωt , ∞ Xi (x) =

χi (x) e−pt dt.

Besides, from the conditions of perfect coupling the implementation of the equalities follows: V1 (x, 0) = W1 (x) − V0 (x, 0) , U1 (x, 0) = W2 (x) −

h ∂W2 (x) − U0 (x, 0) , |x| ≤ a, 2 ∂x

(1.2)

where T1yx , Sy1 are the tangent and normal stresses of scattered waves, W1 , W2 are the bent and shift along the axis Ox displacements of the middle plane of the inclusion. We will take into account the turn of the section of the inclusion with the bend [10] while formulating the boundary conditions (1.2). The displacements of the middle plane, forming (1.2), are determined from the appropriate equations of the theory of elastic plates [11] with zero initial conditions: ∂ 4 W1 (x) p2 X1 (x) − 4 W1 (x) = , 4 ∂x b2 D1 (1.3) D1 4 ˙ , W1 (x, 0) = W1 (x, 0) = 0, |x| ≤ a, b2 = ρ0 h ∂ 2 W2 (x) p2 X2 (x) , − 2 W2 (x) = − ∂x2 b D0 h ˙ 2 (x, 0) = 0, |x| ≤ a, b2 = D0 , W2 (x, 0) = W ρ0 E0 E0 h3 , D0 = , D1 = 1 − ν02 12 (1 − ν0 )

(1.4)

where E0 , ν0 , ρ0 are the module of elasticity, the Poison coeﬃcient and mass density of the inclusion material. In case of the harmonic oscillations in (1.3), (1.4) it is necessary to apply p = iω. While writing down the boundary conditions for the equations (1.3), (1.4) with x = ±a we will take into account, that the bending moment, transverse and normal forces act on the lateral edges of the

2. The method of the solution To determine the displacements and stresses in the matrix, caused by the scattered waves, we can present them in the form of the discontinuous solution of the Lame equations [6], where they are given for the harmonic oscillations. In case of the non-stationary problem ω = −ip should be applied. Then for the displacements and stresses which form the boundary conditions we will obtain: 1 V1 = μ1 p22

The displacements of the middle plane of the inclusion W1 , W2 will be found from the solution of the 1D boundary problems (1.3), (1.4), (1.6).

(2.11) 2 In the formulae (2.11) r, θ are coordinates in the polar systems of coordinates, the poles of which coincide with the edges of the inclusion x = ±a. It is clear from (2.11) that stress state in the matrix near the inclusion is determined by the coeﬃcients k1± and k2± . These coeﬃcients in accordance with [15] will be further named as dimensionless stress intensity factors (SIF) for the inclusion. They are determined by the formulae r → 0, κ = 3 − 4ν1 , θp =

3. Numerical examples As an example of the numerical research of SIF the case with the plane longitudinal waves with the front parallel with the plane of the inclusion is chosen. In this case k1+ (τ ) = k1− (τ ) = k1 (τ ), k2+ (τ ) = k2− (τ ) = k2 (τ ) in view of symmetry. Three types of waves are considered. The ﬁrst one is an impact wave with the potential 2

φ0 = (c1 t − y) H (c1 t − y) Here H(t) is the Heaviside function.

The calculations were carried out for the dimensionless frequency ω0 = aωc−1 2 = 3. The third type is steady harmonic wave with the potential A φ0 = eκiy . (3.3) κ To research the possibility of considering the inclusions of large rigidity as absolutely rigid in calculations for strength, computing of SIF for some real materials was done. The inclusion was considered to be steel and 1 1) Fig. 1, Fig. 2 – concrete(ν1 = 0.17, ν0 = 0.3, ρρ10 = 0.305, E E0 = 0.071, ) ρ1 1 2) Fig. 3, Fig. 4 – lead(ν1 = 0.42, ν0 = 0.3, ρ0 = 1.44, E E0 = 0.08,) ρ1 1 3) Fig. 5, Fig. 6 – rubber(ν1 = 0.47, ν0 = 0.3, ρ0 = 0.118, E E0 = 0.000038 ) as the matrix materials were considered. In Fig. 1–Fig. 4 curves 1 were built on the assumption that the inclusion is absolutely rigid, curves 2 correspond to the elastic inclusion under the conditions, that the actions of the forces and the moments on the lateral edges are disregarded (the conditions of a free edge), curves 3 show the dependence of dimensionless SIF on time in the presence of the forces and moments acting on the lateral edges. In these ﬁgures there are also the curves denoting k1 (τ ) and built under the condition that the forces and moments acting on lateral edges of the inclusion are taken into account. Under the action of the impact wave (3.1) (Fig. 1, Fig. 3, Fig. 5) we can see that the values of SIF at the beginning of the wave incident are extreme and then they become vanishingly small. In Fig. 2, Fig. 4, Fig. 6 the incident of suddenly applied harmonic wave (3.2) on the inclusion is considered. We can see that after some transitional process 0 < τ < 2 the values of SIF become steady harmonic oscillations. In Fig. 1–Fig. 4 we can see that taking into account the elasticity of the inclusion, even for the inclusions that are rigid enough, leads to the signiﬁcant decrease of extreme values of SIF. If the action of the matrix on the lateral edges is taken into account, then the obtained values of SIF will still be smaller. The coincidence of the results in all the three curves is obtained while considering steel inclusion in the rubber matrix (Fig. 5, Fig. 6). As to the factor k1 (τ ), its values, on the contrary, increase when the rigidity of the inclusion decreases. For the couple steel-rubber it is practically zero, which corresponds to the model of an absolutely rigid inclusion. It should be noted, that while considering sudden harmonic loading during the transitional process 0 < τ < 2, the values of SIF don’t exceed the corresponding values in the steady harmonic process. This enables us to solve the stationary problems at once while considering these processes. The dependence of SIF on the dimensionless frequency κ0 = κa with the steady harmonic oscillations is shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. Curves 1 correspond to the couple(matrix-inclusion): steel-rubber, 2 – steel-concrete, 3 – steel-lead. Dashed lines correspond to the model

of the absolutely rigid inclusion. In these ﬁgures the curves are built taking into account the elasticity of the inclusion and action of the matrix on the lateral edges. From these ﬁgures we can see that the SIF values k1 (τ ), k2 (τ ) increase with the increase of the frequency of the oscillations, the increase of the rigidity of the inclusion leads to the increase of the values k2 (τ ), and to the decrease of the values k1 (τ ).

Conclusions. Thus, the assumption that the inclusion is absolutely rigid leads to the increase of the SIF values almost twice as much. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account its elastic properties for the accurate analysis of the stress state in the matrix near the inclusion.

When r = 1 and the sum is absent this result is, in essence, obtained by E.S. Belinsky. Let us consider the set of the Fourier transforms of ﬁnite complex-valued Borel measures on Rd : B(Rd ) = {f : f (x) = e−i(x,u) dμ(u), f B = var μ}. Rd

If, in addition, the measure μ is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure, precisely dμ = g dx, g ∈ L1 (Rd ), then we will write f ∈ A(Rd ), with f A = g 1 . d d/2 −i(x,u) e g(u)du, f A := |g(u)|du}. A(R ) = {f : f (x) = (2π) gˆ(x) := Rd

The spaces A(R ) and B(R ) are Banach algebras with respect to the point-wise multiplication, and A(Rd ) is an ideal in B(Rd ). These algebras possess the local property, and functions from B and A diﬀer from one another only near ∞. Theorem 1.4. If f ∈ B(Rd ), lim|x|→∞ f (x) = 0, and f is a function of bounded Vitali variation oﬀ a cube, then f ∈ A(Rd ) and f A = (2π)−d fˆ 1 .

The following Bernstein type condition of belonging to A(Rd ) is known: the smoothness in L2 should be greater than d2 (see [1]). Using some convex type condition, we will be able to replace d2 by d−1 2 (see Theorem 1.5 a)).

Theorem 1.5. The following hold. q d a) Let q = [ d−1 f be compactly sup2 ] (integral part), and let f ∈ C (R ) and q ported. If, besides, the partial derivative Dq,j (f ) = ∂∂xfq has, as a function of j xj , a bounded, with respect to the other variables, number of points separating the intervals of convexity for each j ∈ [1, d], then the condition 1 ω(t) dt < ∞, d+1 −q 0 t 2

where ω(t) = maxj ω(Dq,j ; t)∞ (moduli of continuity), yields f ∈ A(Rd ) (or fˆ ∈ L1 (Rd )). b) If for every x ∈ Rd f (x) =

then f ∈ A(Rd ). Let f be a 2π-periodic locally (Lebesgue) integrable function on Rd . Its trigonometric Fourier series on Td = [−π, π]d is of the form f∼ ek = ek (x) = ei(k,x) fˆ(k)ek , k∈Zd

The linear bounded operator Λ deﬁned by a complex-valued number sequence {λk }k∈Zd in accordance with f∼ λk fˆ(k)ek ∼ Λf fˆ(k)ek −→ is called a multiplier. If this operator takes Lp (Td ) into Lp (Td ), we write {λk } ∈ Mp = Mp (Zd ), p ∈ [1, +∞]. These operators are characterized by the property of commuting with translations (see [1], [2]). One can get a multiplier operator from any linear operator by averaging with respect to shifts (see [3]). The multiplier {λk }k∈S of functions with spectrum in S ⊂ Zd (fˆ(k) = 0 for k ∈ Zd \ S) is deﬁned analogously. In the same way as for the Fourier series, multipliers are deﬁned for the Fourier integrals. The case Mp , p ∈ (1, ∞), was investigated by M. Riesz, J. Marcinkiewicz, S.G. Mikhlin, L. H¨ ormander, P.I. Lizorkin, and others (see [1]). In the cases of M1 , M∞ and M, where the latter denotes the space of multipliers taking C(Td ) into C(Td ), the multiplier is the convolution of a function and a Borel periodic measure μ (on the unit torus): f (x − y) dμ(y), f −→ Λf = (Λf )(x) = Td

and Λ = var μ. Observe that M = M1 = M∞ ⊂ Mp (1 < p < ∞). It is obvious that any bounded operator in L∞ is weak compact, though is not necessarily compact even being a multiplier. The case of C is diﬀerent. Any weak compact operator in it is compact and takes L∞ into C ([3]).

Theorem 1.6. If ϕ : R → C is bounded and continuous a.e. and limε→+0 {ϕ(εk)} M(Zd) = H < ∞, then ϕ may be corrected at its points of discontinuity to belong to B(Rd ) and ϕ B = H. We now pass to formulating the comparison principle in C(T). When does the inequality Ψ(f ) ∞ ≤ K Φ(f ) ∞ hold true for all functions f ∈ C(T) provided Φ(f ) ∈ C(T)? Here Φ = {φ(k)} and Ψ = {ψ(k)}. Theorem 1.7. Let S0 = {k ∈ Z : ϕ(k) = 0} and ψ(k) = 0 for k ∈ S0 (which is also necessary). In order that the above inequality holds true, it is suﬃcient, and 1 necessary provided { ϕ(k) } ∈ M (Z \ S0 ), that > :> > ψ(k) > > > inf ≤K 0 > φ(k) >M(Z) 0 (the greatest lower bound is actually used when choosing the values of fractions of the form 00 ). Proofs of sharp inequalities are essentially based on positive deﬁniteness of certain functions, i.e., those representable as the Fourier transform of a positive measure (B + (Rd )). Because of this, let us give for d = 1 a criterion of positive deﬁniteness. Using it, the author succeeded to construct compactly supported polynomial radial splines of a given degree and maximal smoothness (basis radial functions, see [3]). Theorem 1.8. Let f be a function continuous at zero. It is in B + (R) if and only if the following conditions are fulﬁlled: α) f ∈ C(R) and bounded; 3 →+∞ f (t)−f (−t) β) the improper integral →0 dt converges; t 3N 1 γ) limN →+∞ 2N −N f (t)dt ≥ 0; δ) there exists k0 ∈ N such that for all k ≥ k0 and x = 0 ∞ f (t)dt k+1 (sign x) ≥ 0. k+1 −∞ (x + it) Let us give two examples of applications of multipliers.

Indeed, replacing x with λx (λ > 0), dividing by λr and passing to the limit as λ → +∞, we obtain ||qr (D)f ||∞ ≤ γ||pr (D)f ||∞ . By 1.7 and 1.6 we may consider the fraction qr /pr to be continuous everywhere (in particular, at zero). But this homogeneous function of order zero is constant on the rays going from the origin and thus constant. Example 2. The Rogosinski-Bernstein method of summability of double Fourier series. In the multiple case (we restrict ourselves to dimension d = 2) we deﬁne the Rogosinski-Bernstein type means by γu Rn (f ; x) = Rn (f ; W, γ, μ, x) = )dμ(u), Sn (f ; W ; x − n 2 R where n ∈ N, Sn (f ; W ; x) = fˆ(k)ei(k,x) k∈nW

is the nth partial sum of the Fourier series (of the function f ∈ L1 (T2 )) generated 2 by the bounded 3 set W ⊂ R , γ > 0, and μ is a ﬁnite complex-valued Borel measure 2 on R with dμ = 1. The case of the circle is studied by Chandrasekharan and Minakshisundaran (1947). Clearly, k fˆ(k)ei(k,x) Rn (f ; x) = φ n k

In order that limn→∞ Rn (f ) = f on C(T2 ) it is necessary, and if in addition the measure μ have a compact support, W is a bounded connected set containing the neighborhood of zero and satisfying two additional conditions: the plane Lebesgue measure of ∂W is zero, and in an arbitrary neighborhood of any boundary point there are interior points from both W and R2 \ W, it is also suﬃcient that for all x ∈ ∂W e−iγ(x,u) dμ(u) = 0.

Necessity follows from 1.6, while the suﬃciency was proved by V.P. Zastavnyi. Theorem 1.1 is announced in lecture notes [4]. One can ﬁnd the proof of Theorem 1.1 in [19]. For 1.4–1.7, see [5], [6]. The items 1.2, 1.3, and 1.8 can be found in the book [3]. Besides, in [3]–[6] necessary conditions for belonging to A(Rd ) are given, as well as the asymptotics of the Fourier transform of a function satisfying condition of convexity type including the multiple radial case, suﬃcient conditions for multipliers of power series of functions from the Hardy space Hp (D), D− being a disk in the complex plane C, p ∈ (0, 1], and expansions in eigenfunctions of the Sturm-Liouville operator (regular case).

2. The comparison of linear diﬀerential operators Let G be a bounded domain in Rd , C0 (G) be the set of functions from C ∞ (Rd ) which vanish oﬀ a compact subset of G. Let P and Q be polynomials of x1 , . . . , xd . As H¨ormander proved (see [7], Ch. 2), in order that a constant γ exist such that for all f ∈ Co∞ (G) (the norms are those in L2 (Rd )) ||Q(D)f ||2 ≤ γ||P (D)f ||2 , it is necessary and suﬃcient one of the following two conditions to fulﬁl: 0 |Q(α) (ix)| α∈Zd |Q(ix)| + < ∞, sup 0 < ∞. sup 0 (α) (α) (ix)| (ix)| x∈Rd x∈Rd α∈Zd |P α∈Zd |P +

We note that the necessity of the given condition is valid in a more general situation. Theorem 2.1. If for some p ≥ 1 and q > 0 for all f ∈ C0∞ (G) ||Q(D)f ||q ≤ γ||P (D)f ||p , then

Theorem 2.4. Let (p, q) = (1, ∞). For (∗∗) to take place for all functions from Q(ix) Wpr (R) when s < r, it is necessary and suﬃcient that supx∈R P(ix) < ∞ and q ≥ p. When s = r assumption q = p to be added. If simultaneously p = 1 and q = |Q(ix)| ∞, for (∗∗) to hold it is necessary and suﬃcient that supx∈R |P(ix)|+|P (ix)| < ∞ and s < r. Theorem 2.5.

P (z) |P (ix)| + |P (ix)| z:Re z≤δ<0 x∈R Exact inequalities (with the least constant γ) are obtained as well. This problem is more diﬃcult. For example, sharp Kolmogorov’s inequality for the intermediate derivative is known long ago on R; we give it in additive form: k k ||f (k) ||L∞ (R) ≤ γ0 (k, r)((1 − )||f ||L∞ (R) + ||f (r) ||L∞ (R) ). r r The least constant γ0 independent of f is indicated. However, a similar sharp inequality for functions on an interval of the real axis is still not found in full generality. αs Theorem 2.6. Let P (z) = Q(z)Πm s=1 (z − λs ) , where Re λs > 0 and αs ∈ N (1 ≤ s ≤ m). Then for each p ∈ [1, ∞] and any function f ∈ Wpr (R+ )

||Q(D)f ||∞ ≤ γ0 ||P (D)f ||p , where the least constant γ0 = ||g||p , with 1p + p1 = 1, and for R(z) = T 1 g(x) = R(ζ)e−xζ dζ. 2πi Γ

Here λ1 , . . . , λm are within the closed contour Γ, while the conjugates to other zeros of P are outside of Γ. We then pass to the case m ≥ 2 (see (∗)). Let degree deg Pj = rj (1 ≤ j ≤ m), max rj = r1 and s = deg Q ≤ r1 . We consider in the sequel that s < r1 . When s = r1 one has to apply the result obtained for s < r1 to the polynomial Q1 = Q − μP1 of a lower degree. Theorem 2.7. Let I be the greatest common divisor of polynomials Pj , 1 ≤ j ≤ m, all with zeros on the imaginary axis iR, while the polynomial Q is divisible by I. Then for s < r1 and any q ∈ [1, ∞] and 1 ≤ p1 ≤ q m ||Q(D)f ||Lq (R) ≤ γ ||Pj (D)f ||Lpj (R) j=1

where pj ∈ [1, p1 ] for j ≥ 2 if Pj has zeros oﬀ iR and pj = p1 otherwise. The rj constant γ does not depend of f ∈ ∩m j=1 Wpj (R). If s = r1 one has to add condition p1 = q. And if Q is divisible only by the greatest common divisor of I and I , the indicated inequality holds true only for q = ∞ and pj ≡ 1. Proof. We may assume that Pj = I · Ij · P˜j , where I · Ij = 0 oﬀ iR, and P˜j = 0 on iR (1 ≤ j ≤ m). The polynomials {Ij }m 1 have no common zeros. If I1 ≡ 1, that is, P1 = 0 on iR only at zeros of I, then, by Theorem 2.4 for s < r1 and p1 ∈ [1, q] Q(D)f Lq (R) ≤ γ P1 (D)f Lp1 (R) , while p1 = q in this inequality when s = r1 . It is possible to add now any nonnegative summands on the right-hand side. We further suppose that I1 (ix1 ) = 0 for some x1 ∈ R. If I1 (z) = aΠhν=1 (z − ixν ), where xν ∈ R (1 ≤ ν ≤ h), then I1 (ix) ∈ R when a = ih for all x ∈ R. Thus one may assume that I(ix) and Ij (ix), 1 ≤ j ≤ m, are real for all x ∈ R. Assume that for n = deg P˜1 (deg P I ≤ deg P1 = r1 ) P (z) = iH(z)I1 (z) +

0m where real numbers {λj }m 2 are speciﬁed so that j=2 λj Ij (ix) = 0 at zeros of I1 (ix) (this will be justiﬁed below). Then P (ix) = 0 for all x ∈ R, since the sum does not vanish at the points where I1 (ix) = 0, while the imaginary part ImP (ix) = 0 when I1 (ix) = 0. Replacing i with −i if needed, we may assume that degP = degHI, in other words the degree does not become smaller when adding the sum. Applying Theorem 2.4 to the operators Q(D) and P I(D), we obtain, with p1 ∈ [1, q] when s < r1 and p1 = q when s = r1 , Q(D)f Lq (R) ≤ γ P I(D)f Lp1 (R) . Using then the triangle inequality for the norms, we get Q(D)f Lq (R) ≤ γ( H · I · I1 (D)f Lp1 (R) +

It remains to apply Theorem 2.4 to each summand, m times all together. Let now Q is divisible only by the greatest common divisor of I and I . By Theorem 2.4 Q(D)f L∞ (R) ≤ γ P I(D)f L1 (R) , and the above proven inequality works with q = pj ≡ 1. It remains to make sure of that if {Ij }r1 are real polynomials with no common real zeros for all r ≥ 2 and E is a ﬁnite subset of R, then the numbers λj ∈ (0, 1],

When r = 2 one can choose λ1 = 1, while any nonzero real number satisfying λ2 = − II12 (x) (x) when I2 (x) = 0 and x ∈ E can be taken as λ2 . For r ≥ 2 induction argument is applicable. Let us denote by I2,r the greatest common divisor of the polynomials {Ij }r2 with real zeros. By inductive hypothesis, there exist real numbers λj ∈ (0, 1], 2 ≤ j ≤ r, such that r Ij (x) = 0 (x ∈ E). λj I2,r (x) j=2 Consider the sum, in which λ1 is yet to be speciﬁed, r r Ij (x) . λj Ij (x) = λ1 I1 (x) + I2,r (x) λj I2,r (x) j=1 j=2 Since I1 and I2,r has no common real zeros, the sum does not vanish for any λ1 when x ∈ E and I1 (x) = 0. If x ∈ E and I1 (x) = 0, it suﬃces to choose any real λ1 satisfying r −1 λ1 = λj Ij (x) (x ∈ E). I1 (x) j=2

The proof is complete. A similar result is valid for periodic functions.

Theorem 2.8. If the condition Pj (ik) = 0 for k ∈ Z and all j ∈ [1, m] implies Q(ik) = 0 (which is also necessary), then for s < r1 and any q, p1 ∈ [1, +∞] m Q(D)f Lq (T) ≤ γ Pj (D)f Lpj (T) . j=1

When j ≥ 2 here, pj ∈ [1, +∞] if Pj has zeros oﬀ iZ, while pj ∈ [1, p1 ] if Pj has rj no zeros oﬀ iZ. The constant γ is independent of function f, f ∈ ∩m j=1 Wpj (T). When s = r1 one has to add the condition p1 ∈ [1, q]. The case of the semi-axis is more diﬃcult. Theorem 2.9. Let deg Q < deg P and polynomials P1 and P2 , as well as Q, are 2 (z) = 0 when divisible by I, the latter with no zeros when Re z > 0. Let also PI(z) Re z ≤ 0. Then for each q ∈ [1, +∞] and both p1 , p2 ∈ [1, q] ||Q(D)f ||Lq (R+ ) ≤ γ(||P1 (D)f ||Lp1 (R+ ) + ||P2 (D)f ||Lp2 (R+ ) ), with constant γ independent of f ∈ Wpr11 (R+ ) ∩ Wpr22 (R+ ). If under the same assumptions on I and P2 we have I = I1 · I0 , where I0 (z) = 0 for Re z < 0, I1 (z) = 0 when Re z = 0, and polynomials P1 and Q are

divisible by I1 and by the greatest common divisor of I0 and I0 , then for 1 ≤ p1 ≤ ∞ and all f ∈ Wpr11 (R+ ) ∩ W1r2 (R+ ) ||Q(D)f ||L∞ (R+ ) ≤ γ(||P1 (D)f ||Lp1 (R+ ) + ||P2 (D)f ||L1 (R+ )||). It was suggested in [8] to give direct proofs of two sharp inequalities for diﬀerential operators of the second order of functions on the half-axis known in the theory of operators. This is fulﬁlled by the author in [9]. We now give an example when sharp inequalities are diﬀerent for periodic and non-periodic functions (even for p = ∞). Here ε > 0.

3. Methods of summability of Fourier series and K-functionals We go on to problems of approximation of periodic functions by linear polynomial operators. Modulus of smoothness of a 2π-periodic function f ∈ C(T), T = [−π, π], of order r ∈ N and step h > 0 is deﬁned as ωr (f ; h) = sup{|Δrδ f (x)| : x ∈ T, δ ∈ (0, h]},

Δδ f (x) = f (x) − f (x + δ).

It is known, for example, that ωr (f ; h) ≤ hr if and only if f (r−1) is absolutely continuous on T and almost everywhere |f (r) (x)| ≤ 1 (D.A. Raikov). For each r ∈ R there exists a sequence of trigonometric polynomials of degree not higher than n satisfying the inequality 1 max |f (x) − Tr,n (f ; x)| ≤ γ(r)ωr f ; x n (r = 1 – Jackson, r = 2 – Akhiezer, r ≥ 3 – Stechkin). One can replace the norm in C(T) in this inequality by that in Lp (T) with 1 ≤ p < ∞. It was the author who had built long ago polynomials τr,n (of degree not higher than n) which satisfy the two-sided inequality 1 1 ≤ ||f − τr,n (f )|| ≤ γ2 (r)ωr f ; . γ1 (r)ωr f ; n n

These were the means of the Fourier series of the function f of Rogosinski-Bernstein type ﬁrst. To date exact rates of approximation of individual functions by all classical methods of summability of Fourier series are already found (see [6], and also [10] and [3]). We set for each integer r ≥ 2 π π 1 r Jr,n (f ) = Jr,n (f, x) = f (x + t)Dn (t) dt, αr,n = Dnr (t) dt, αr,n −π −π where Dn is the nth Dirichlet kernel. These are the Fej´er-Jackson type polynomials od degree rn. Theorem 3.1. For each r ≥ 3 there exist positive constants γ1 (r) and γ2 (r) such that for any function f ∈ C(T) 1 1 ≤ ||f − Jr,n (f )|| ≤ γ2 (r)ω2 f ; . γ1 (r)ω2 f ; n n The proof is fulﬁlled by comparison with polynomials τ2,n (see above). It turned out that this result was already proved in [11] by a diﬀerent method for only even r ≥ 4 (the case of positive operators). However, in author’s opinion the most interesting case is that of minimal r, r = 3. The problem of comparison in norm of various methods of summability of Fourier series arose after obtaining the two-sided inequalities (publications of 1968 by the author and also by H. Shapiro). It turned out that all (C, α) methods as well as that of Abel-Poisson (for deﬁnitions, see, e.g., [12]) are equivalent in this sense provided their parameters are connected in a speciﬁc way. 1 Theorem 3.2. For any α > 0, p ∈ [1, +∞], f ∈ Lp (T), and r ∈ (0, 1) , n = [ 1−r ] (integral part)

γ1 (α) f (·) − Ur (f ; (·)) p ≤ f − σnα (f ) p ≤ γ2 (α) f (·) − Ur (f ; (·)) p . Further, J.L. Lions and J. Peetre introduced K-functionals for ﬁnding interpolation spaces between two Banach spaces (see, e.g., [13], real method of interpolation). Let us consider a diﬀerential operator Dr deﬁned by a matrix {μk,r } (k ∈ Zd \ 0, μk,r = 0, lim|k|→∞ μk,r = ∞): μk,r fˆ(k)ek ; Dr f ∼ k=0

Usual moduli are not suitable for d ≥ 2 (in C(Td ) and L1 (Td )). To clarify the situation, we will consider here only the case of even r. We introduce the linearized moduli (r ∈ N) > > 2r > > (2r)! ν > ω ˜ 2r (f, μ; h) := > (−1) f (· + (ν − r)hu) dμ> >. Rd ν=0 ν!(2r − ν)! The operation of taking the upper bound with respect to h is replaced by the integral averaging (μ is a ﬁnite Borel measure).0 If dμ = χE du and E is the unit ball 0 in Rd we will write ω ˜ 2r (f, h); while for dμ = χEj duj and Ej = [−1, 1] ⊂ Oxj , + for all 1 ≤ j ≤ d, we will write ω ˜ 2r (f ; h). Let 2r d (2r)! Δ+ (−1)ν f (x + (ν − r)δe0j ), f (x) = r,δ ν!(2r − ν)! j=1 ν=0 here e0j is the unit vector of the axis Oxj . We deﬁne + (f, h)p = sup ||Δ+ ω2r r,δ f (·)||p , 0<δ≤h

and 0 r (f, h)p = sup ||(Δ+ ω2r 1,δ ) f (·)||p ; 0<δ≤h

for r = 1, the corresponding modulus of smoothness is introduced by Z. Ditzian (1991). Theorem 3.3. For all p ∈ [1, ∞] and r ∈ N 0 0 K(t2r , f, Lp , Δr ) := inf ( f − g p + t2r Δr g p ) 0 ω ˜ 2r (f ; t)p 0 ω2r (f ; t)p . g

Let us return to the case of d = 1. Jackson also introduced the polynomials of interpolation type 2 n sin(n + 1) x2 1 2kπ jn (f ) = jn (f, x) = f . (n + 1)2 n+1 sin x2 k=0

Theorem 3.6. There exist absolute positive constants c1 and c2 such that for each f ∈ C(T) and any n ∈ N 1 1 ˜ + nω2 F ; ≤ ||f − jn (f )|| + ||f − j2n+1 (f )|| c1 ω f ; n n 1 1 ˜ ≤ c2 ω f ; + nω2 F ; . n n 3x Here ω = ω1 , F (x) = 0 (f (t) − fˆ(0))dt (periodic integral), and F˜ is the Hilbert transform of F. The same two sided estimate of only one of the two norms is impossible. We only mention that the well-known result of Akhiezer and Krein on the ˜ r (see [16], pp. 100–103) was used. M.G. Krein best approximation of the class W was the ﬁrst who replaced the derivative f (r) by the diﬀerential polynomial in direct theorems of Approximation Theory (see the same reference). The comparison principle allows one not only to prove certain properties of moduli of smoothness but also ﬁnd new ones. Theorem 3.7. For each f ∈ C(T) and any h ∈ (0, 1),for any even r ∞ ˙r Δt f (·) ωr (F˜ ; h) 0 hr || dt||, tr h ˙ δ f (x) = f (x + δ) − f (x − δ). where Δ All the inequalities given in Section 3, except 3.5, are valid in the Lp -norm for any p ∈ [1, ∞] as well, in particular for functions from the Hardy spaces Hp (D) (D is the disk). However, when p ∈ (1, ∞), and for power series even when p ∈ [1, ∞], some results become simpler. For instance, for odd r as for those even one may take the coeﬃcients of polynomials τr,n (see the beginning of Section 3) to be generated by the function φr (x) = (1 − |x|r )+ . The case of the spaces Hp (D) for p ∈ (0, 1) is studied as well. By the way, for functions in D moduli of smoothness (K-functionals) can be deﬁned in diﬀerent ways: radial, linearized boundary one, etc. For example, the radial modulus is convenient for the HardyLittlewood inequality on the growth of |f (r) (z)| for z tending to the boundary, see [17]. In the same paper moduli of smoothness are introduced and studied for non-integer r > 0 as well. The following sharp inequality is a simple generalization of known inequalities of Bernstein, Riesz, Nikolskii and Stechkin (s = 0). Theorem 3.8. For each trigonometric polynomial τn of order not higher than n ∈ N and any h ∈ (0, 2π n ) there holds for r ∈ N and s ∈ N r+s n ||Δr+s (1 ≤ p ≤ ∞), ||τn(r) ||Lp (T) ≤ h (Ts )||Lp (T) 2 sin nh 2 3x where T0 = τn , while for s ≥ 1 we have Ts (x) = 0 (Ts−1 (t) − Tˆs−1 (0)) dt.

To prove this result, the possibility of extension of the function from the interval [−a, a] to that positive deﬁnite on the whole axis R. By the way, the problem of the possibility of extension of the function from R \ (−a, a) to that positive deﬁnite on R and moreover with the least value at the origin (see [17]). Similar statements are true for entire functions of exponential type as well. In this case comparison of multipliers of Fourier integrals is used instead of that of Fourier series. There are general and simple relations between multipliers of Fourier series and Fourier integrals (see [1], Ch. 7). For Theorems 3.2–3.4, see [5] and [3]. See also [18]. For Theorems 3.1 and 3.6, see [20].

Forced Vibrations of the Inﬁnite Shell of the Square Cross Section V.M. Vorobel and V.V. Reut Abstract. The problem about steady-state forced vibrations of an inﬁnite shell of the square cross section is investigated. The dispersion curves are given, the resonance frequencies are found. The stress distribution in a construction is investigated. In case of low-frequency vibrations the engineering formula for approximate calculation of the construction is oﬀered. The graph of dependence of a relative accuracy on frequency is given. Mathematics Subject Classiﬁcation (2000). Primary 74H45; Secondary 74K10. Keywords. Box-like shell, plate, vibrations, dispersion curve, resonance.

The thin-walled constructions of the square cross section have a wide application in construction, shipbuilding, bridge engineering and mechanical engineering. The theory and the methods of static and dynamic analysis of the box-like shells were studied in numerous works, which review is present in [1–4]. The simple harmonic motions of semi-inﬁnite box-like shell of the rectangular cross section are surveyed in work [2], in which the homogeneous solutions were constructed. In the work [3] the dispersion equation for propagation of normal waves in the inﬁnite box-like shell of the corner and the square cross section were obtained. Let’s mark, that in the above-mentioned works, the resonance frequencies were not found also numerical calculations were not carried out. The present work is dedicated to study of these problems. The plate-like construction consist of thin plates of thickness h and a width 2a (Fig. 1). The construction has square cross section. The identical transverse loading q(x, y)e−iωt symmetric concerning a medial line of a plate (in the further factor e−iωt we shall omit). In a dimensionless form the boundary value problem that describe the combined planar and ﬂexural state of a construction’s plates will consist of the diﬀerential equation of vibrations of thin plates DΔ2 w (x, y) − ω 2 ε−2 w (x, y) = q (x, y)

In Fig. 2 the dispersion curves of the equation Δ = 0 concerning dimensionless quantities α and ω are constructed with relative thickness of the shell ε = 0.1 and Poisson’s ratio μ = 0.3. For negative α the graph should symmetrically be reﬂected concerning an axis ω. In Fig. 3 the site of the graph Fig. 2 is ﬁgured in the enlarged aspect. We can see that curves 1 and 2 are not intersected. With a decrease of the parameter ε the dispersion curves are contracted to the origin of coordinates, along both axes. The values ω at which slope angle of a tangent to a dispersion curve is equal to 90 degrees are resonance frequencies [6]. Table 1 ε ω 0.01 0.017 0.091 0,225 0.419 0,670 0.1 0.168 0.852 1.444 1.463 1.948 In Table 1 the values of the ﬁrst several resonance frequencies (in Figs. 2, 3 they are marked by dagger) with μ = 0.3. Let’s mark, that all frequencies which given in the table, except for ω = 0.444 can be obtained from a solution of a problem about vibrations square frame if Young’s modulus E to exchange on E 1 − μ2 . In Fig. 4 the graph of6 amplitude maximum bending values dimensionless 2 2 2 ˜ 2 ˜ ˜ ˜ ˜ stresses σM = 6˜ a Mx˜ (˜ x, y˜) P h , Mx˜ (˜ x, y˜) = −D ∂ w ˜ ∂x ˜ + μ∂ 2 w ˜ ∂ y˜2 at μ = 0.3, ε = 0.1, y = 0, ω = 0.1 (thus actual frequency ω ˜ ≈ 52/˜ a rad/sec) for a case of a concentrated force q˜ (˜ x, y˜) = P˜ δ (˜ x) δ (˜ y ) is given. Thus the values of plain stresses less then bending stresses, and greatest maximum bending stresses arise under a concentrated force (logarithmic singularity) and on an edge. Let’s mark, that in case of low-frequency vibrations the solution of a problem (1)–(4) practically coincides with a solution of a problem about vibrations of the

∂w /∂x|x=0 = 0, = 0, ∂w /∂x|x=1 = 0, w |x=1 = 0. (6) The plain stresses and displacements thus can be neglected. Moreover if the solution of this problem is known at frequencies ω0 , ω1 (in particular it is possible to take ω0 = 0, i.e., static case) approximate solution of a problem (1)–(4) present by the convenient formula for the engineering calculations wω (x, y) = L0 (ω) w0∗ (x, y) + L1 (ω) w1∗ (x, y) + O ω 4 ε−4 (7) 2 uω = vω = O ε wω 2 −1 −1 2 2 ω1 − ω02 , L1 (ω) = ω 2 − ω02 ω12 − ω02 . L0 (ω) = ω1 − ω It is necessary to have in 6 view, that this formula is valid for the small fre˜c a quencies (ω/ε 1, i.e., ω ˜ h˜ ˜2 ) smaller then ﬁrst resonance frequency. In Fig. 5 the graph of relative accuracies of maximum bending stresses on dimensionless frequency ω in the point of the edge x = 1, y = 0 is constructed, with ω0 = 0, ω1 = 0.1. The solid line shows an error of the formula (7), and dashed error for a problem (5)–(6). From the graph we can see that with ω < 0.12 relative accuracy of the formula (7) less than 10%. The approximate solution of a problem (5)–(6) about the fastened plate gives good outcomes up to the ﬁrst natural frequency.
