ABSTRACT

We prove equiconvergence of the Bochner-Riesz means of the Fourier series and integral of distributions with compact support from the Liouville spaces.

Keywords:

Bochner-Riesz Means, Fourier Series, Fourier Integrals, Distributions, Equiconvergence

1. Introduction

Convergence of the Fourier series and integral of integrable functions of one variable at certain point depends only from the values of the function in the small neighbourhood of this point (localizations principles). More- over, the difference of the partial sums of the Fourier series and integral of a function uniformly converge to zero, which means both expansions converge or diverge at the same time (equiconvergence).

In N-dimensional case, , localization principles, as well as equiconvergence, for the Fourier series and integral is not valid by the Pringsheim convergence [1] . In [2] it is given a review of recent results on equiconvergence of expansions in multiple trigonometric Fourier series and integral in the case of summation over rectangles. In [3] the problem of equiconvergence for expansions in a triple trigonometric Fourier series and a Fourier integral of continuous functions with a certain modulus of continuity in the case of a lacunary sequence of partial sums is studied.

In [4] equiconvergence of the Fourier interals and expansions associated with a Schrodinger operator is studied. In [5] the author obtained sufficient conditions on the potential under which uniform equiconvergence holds for the expansion of a integrable function in the system of eigenfunctions and associated functions of corresponding Sturm-Liouville operator and its Fourier sine series expansion (in [6] potential is a distribution). In [7] a comparison theorem on equiconvergence of the Fourier Jacobi series with certain trigonometric Fourier series is proved.

In this paper we study equiconvergence of the Fourier series and integral of the linear continuous functionals (distributions) in the case of spherical summation. Localiation of spectral expansions of distributions for the first time was studied by Sh.A. Alimov [8] . Further results in [8] expanded to the more general spectral expansions in [9] - [14] .

2. Preliminaries

Let be the space of infinitely differentiable functions, with the locally convex topology produced from the system of the semi-norms

where K is a compact subset of, is a non negative integer number, and

Recall the space of distributions on, i.e. the space of all continuous linear functionals on. In fact any element has a compact support in and can be represented as the weakly convergent Fourier series

(1)

where its Fourier coefficients defined as the value of f on the test function on and is the set of all N-tuples with integer coordinates.

The Riesz means of order s, of the spherical partial sums of the Fourier series (1) define by

(2)

Now, let us extend f from to by zero and leave the same notation for f. Then recall the Bochner- Riesz means of order s of the Fourier integral of f

(3)

where is the Fourier transformation of the distribution f evaluated as its action on the test function with respect to the variable.

In this paper we shall be studying a relation between expansions (2) and (3) for some values of the summation index s depending on the power of singularity of f. In fact we will prove uniform equiconvergence of the Riesz means of the Fourier series and the Fourier integral expansion.

However, a behaviour of spherical means for the Fourier series and the Fourier integral expansion can be es

sentially different. The first results on the different behaviour of the Riesz means of critical index

of the Fourier integral and the Fourier series in found by S. Bochner [15] , where it is proved that the localization of the means (3) holds and for the means (2) the localization fails. In the same paper [15] it is proved va-

lidity of localization principle in for both expansions in the critical index E. Stein [16] proved that if the localization principle for the means (2) remain valid in (consequently in).

In [17] B.M. Levitan reported the first result on the uniform equisummability of the Riesz means

expansions associated with the Laplace operator. The Riesz equisummability below critical index studied by V.A. Il’in [18] .

3. Main Results

For any real number by denote the Liouville space of distributions

Theorem 1 Let and Then for any

Note, if, then for any there exist a distribution from such that it is coin-

cides with zero in some neighbourhood of and the means (the same for the means diverges [8] . Thus, formula (4) provides precise result on the uniform equiconvergence of the Riesz means of the Fourier Integral and Series.

gence summation domain for the Dirac delta function given in Figure 2.

4. Estimation of the Direchlet Kernel

Let be the Riesz means of the partial sums of the Fourier series of the Dirac delta function, which is well known as the Direchlet kernel:

Then for any distribution Formula (2) can be expressed as

where f is acting to the test function by the variable y.

Similarly, for the Fourier integral (3) we write

where the Bochner-Riesz means of the Fourier integral of the Dirac delta function:

(9)

Proof. From the definition of the kernel obviously obtain

(10)

Then estimate (9) immediately follows from (11). The estimate (10) follows from (8) and the estimate for the Bessel functions:

Lemma 1 proved.

Note, that if a function and its Fourier transformation satisfy the estimates (9) and (10), then the Poisson formula for summation is valid:

(11)

Thus from Lemma 1 applying (12) for the function obtain

(12)

Then from (5) and (11) we have

(13)

In the sum of right hand side in (13) by separation term obtain

(14)

where defined as

(15)

Then from Lemma 1 immediately follows:

Lemma 2 Let Then uniformly in any compact set

(16)

5. Proof of the Theorem 1

From the Formula (15) obtain

(17)

Then the statement of the Theorem 1 follows from the lemma below and equality (17):

Lemma 3 Let and let

Then

uniformly in any compact set.

Proof. For any proper domain

(18)

where means a norm in the space taken with respect to the variable.

Note if, then [19]

(19)

where means a norm in.

Then the statement of the Lemma 4 follows from (19) and

(20)

6. Conclusion

Equiconvergence of the Fourier series and integral of distributions depends on singularity of the distribution and power of regularisation as found in the main theorem. Obtained in Theorem 1 a relation for the singularity and summability index is accurate. However, to prove sharp result for the Reisz means below critical index for the smooth functions meets with some difficulties. This circumstance appears due to not applicability of the Poisson formula of summation.
