Many of the equations of physical sciences and engineering involve operatorsof elliptic type. Most important among these is non-relativistic quantum the-ory, which is based upon the spectral analysis of second order elliptic differ-ential operators. Spectral theory of the elliptic differential operators is an ex-tremely rich field which has been studied by many qualitative and quantita-tive techniques like Sturm-Liouville theory, separation of variables, Fourier andLaplace transforms, perturbation theory, eigenfunction expansions, variational meth-ods, microlocal analysis, stochastic analysis and numerical methods including fi-nite elements. We note here that the applications of second order elliptic op-erators to geometry and stochastic analysis are also now of great importance.

In the present research we investigated the problems concerning the almost every-where convergence of multiple Fourier series summed over the elliptic levels in theclasses of Liouville functions on Tours. The sufficient conditions for the almosteverywhere convergence problems, which are most difficult problems in Harmonicanalysis, are obtained in the classes of Liouville. The difficulty is on the obtain-ing the suitable estimations for the maximal operator of the partial sums of theFourier series, which guarantees the almost everywhere convergence of Fourier se-ries. The process of estimating the maximal operator involves very complicatedcalculations which depends on the functional structure of the classes of functions.The main idea on the proving the almost everywhere convergence of the eigen-function expansions in the interpolation spaces is estimation of the maximal oper-ator of the partial sums in the boundary classes and application of the interpola-tion Theorem of the family of linear operators. It is well known that the theory ofthe eigenfunction expansions of the differential operators closely connected withthe convergence problems of Fourier series and integrals. The one of the mostimportant summation method which is called spherical summation method con-nected with the eigenfunction expansions of the Laplace operator, while the ques-

tions on convergence of the multiple Fourier series summed over the elliptic levelscan be investigated by using the spectral theory of the elliptic differential operators.

In chapter III and IV of the present thesis maximal operator of spherical and el-liptic partial sums are estimated in the interpolation classes of Liouville and thealmost everywhere convergence of the multiple Fourier series by spherical and el-liptic summation methods are established. The considering multiple Fourier se-ries as an eigenfunction expansions of the differential operators helps to translatethe functional properties (for example smoothness) of the Liouville classes intoFourier coefficients of the functions which being expanded into such expansions.

The sufficient conditions for convergence of the multiple Fourier series of functionsfrom Liouville classes are obtained in terms of the smoothness and dimensions. Suchresults are highly effective in solving the boundary problems with periodic boundaryconditions occurring in the spectral theory of differential operators. The investiga-tions of multiple Fourier series in modern methods of harmonic analysis incorporatesthe wide use of methods from functional analysis, mathematical physics, modern op-erator theory and spectral decomposition. New method for the best approximationof the square-integrable function by multiple Fourier series summed over the ellipticlevels are established in chapter V. Using the best approximation, the Lebesgue con-stant corresponding to the elliptic partial sums is estimated. The latter is applied toobtain an estimation for the maximal operator in the classes of Liouville.

Dalam sains fizikal dan kejuruteraan banyak persamaan matematik yang meli-batkan operator jenis elips. Yang paling penting di antaranya adalah teori kuantumyang tidak relativistik, yang berdasarkan analisa spektrum bagi operator pembezaanelips peringkat kedua. Aplikasi operator elips peringkat kedua dalam bidang ge-ometri dan analisis stokastik juga sangat penting. Teori spektrum operator pem-bezaan elips adalah bidang yang telah dikaji oleh banyak teknik kualitatif dankuantitatif seperti teori Sturm-Liouville, pemisahan pembolehubah, TransformasiFourier dan Laplace, teori perturbasi, ekspansi eigenfungsi, kaedah variasi, anali-sis mikrolocal, stokastik analisis dan kaedah berangka termasuk elemen terhingga.

Penyelidikan yang telah dijalankan, kami menyiasat masalah mengenai penumpuansiri Fourier yang dijumlahkan di atas peringkat eliptik dalam kelas fungsi Liouvilledi atas Torus. Syarat-syarat yang mencukupi untuk masalah-masalah penumpuan,yang merupakan masalah yang paling sukar dalam analisis Harmonik, diperolehiuntuk kelas Liouville. Masalah utama adalah untuk menmperolehu anggaran yangsesuai untuk operator maksima bagi penjumlahan separa siri Fourier, yang menjaminpenumpuan siri Fourier, melibatkan pengiraan yang sangat rumit dimana ia bergan-tung kepada struktur fungsi dalam kelas fungsi tersebut. Idea utama yang mem-buktikan penumpuan pengembangan fungsi eigen dalam ruang interpolasi adalahuntuk memperoleh anggaran operator maksima bagi penjumlahan separa dalam ke-las sempadan dan penggunaan teorem interpolasi keluarga pengendali linier. Iaadalah jelas bahawa teori tentang pengembangan eigenfungsi operator pembezaanberkait rapat dengan masalah penumpuan siri dan kamiran Fourier. Salah satukaedah penjumlahan yang penting dikenali sebagai kaedah penjumlahan sfera yangberkaitan dengan pengembangan fungsi eigen untuk operator Laplace, sementarapersoalan mengenai penumpuan siri Fourier yang dijumlahkan pada tahap elipsboleh disiasat dengan menggunakan teori spektrum buat operator pembezaan elips.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

In this study we deal with the almost everywhere convergence problems of the mul-tiple Fourier series where is summed over domains bounded by levels of an ellipticpolynomials. The elliptic differential operator with the constant coefficients is un-bounded operator and has many applications in engineering sciences. Such operatorshave self adjoint extension in the Hilbert classes, which can be represented with thehelp of the spectral decomposition of unity corresponding to the given elliptic dif-ferential operator. The latter is closely connected with the multiple Fourier seriessummed over the levels of elliptic polynomials. The main problem of the harmonicanalysis is reconstruction of the function from its Fourier expansion. Obtaining thesufficient conditions for the almost everywhere convergence of the multiple Fourierseries of the functions from different classes gives answer to the main problem ofthe harmonic analysis in the mentioned classes of functions. This research is fo-cused to investigate the problems of the almost everywhere convergence of spectralexpansions of the functions with special behavior in terms of the eigenfunctions ofthe elliptic differential operators. This chapter will focus on main fundamental ideasand concepts from the spectral theory of differential operators to understand modernstatus of the investigations in the field of convergence and summability of eigenfunc-tion expansions related to differential operators. Besides background on our subjectmatter, this chapter will entail descriptions on our research objectives, motivationand a brief outline of this thesis.

1.1 Motivation

The theory of differential equations is one of the outstanding discovers of the humanmind. Its influence upon the development of physical science would be hard to ex-aggerate. Much of the subject matter in this thesis is confined not only to secondorder differential operators but even to elliptic differential operators of order m. Onejustification for concentrating on this topic is that many of the equations which haveproved important in the physical sciences and engineering involve operators of thistype. Most important among these is non-relativistic quantum theory, which is basedupon the spectral analysis of Laplace operator. Applications of second order ellipticoperators to geometry and stochastic analysis are also now of great importance. Theimportance of study the Fourier series with respect to elliptic polynomial is comingfrom the fact of its relative to elliptic partial differential operators (by Fourier trans-form). Many problems of mathematical physics can be solved by separation methodsof partial differential equations. When separation method is applied then finding asolution of the partial differential equation will be reduced to the problems of conver-gence of the eigenfunction expansions of elliptic operators. This connection betweenthe theory of multiple Fourier series and the theory of partial differential equationsis considered a sub-domain of the spectral theory. It is known that the theory of

the spectral decompositions of the differential operators closely connected with theconvergence problems of Fourier series and integrals. Moreover elliptic differentialoperators play an important role in modern mathematical physics. Such operators arehighly effective in solving the eigenvalue problems occurring in the spectral theory ofdifferential operators. Spectral theory is an extremely rich field which has been stud-ied by many qualitative and quantitative techniques - for example Sturm-Liouvilletheory, separation of variables, Fourier and Laplace transforms, perturbation theory,eigenfunction expansions, variational methods, microlocal analysis, stochastic anal-ysis and numerical methods including finite elements (Alimov et al. (1976), Alimovet al. (1992), Reed and Simon (1979), Hörmander (1985), Stein and Weiss (1971),Taylor (1996), Shubin (2001) and Titchmarsh (1958)).

1.2 Multiple Fourier Series and Spectral Theory of Elliptic Differential Oper-

ators in the Torus

The main mathematical objects we work with throughout this thesis are several vari-able functions which are 2π-periodic in each variable defined on N-torus T N . N isreserved for dimension.

1.2.1 Functions on Torus

We define Torus as a cube π,πN :

T N x x1,x2,,xN >RN

π @ xi B π, i 1,,N,which naturally isomorphic to RN~ZN . By this we mean, for x,y >RN we say that

x y,

if xy > 2πZN . Here is an equivalence relation that partitions RN into equivalenceclasses, where 2πZN is the additive subgroup of RN and ZN is integer coordinates.

Example 1.1 let n n1,n2,,nN an element belongs to ZN then

x1,x2,,xN x12πn1,x22πn2,,xN 2πnN,when N 2, we have 2

3 π, 12 π 4

3 π, 32 π, or, equivalently, 2

3 π, 12 π 4

3 π, 32 πmod2π.

By this setting one can visualize T π,π as a circle by bringing together theendpoints of line segment π,π. For T 2, one can again bring together the right andleft sides of the square π,π2 and then the top and bottom sides as well, which isshaped as a 2dimensional manifold embedded in R3. See Figure 1.2.1. The T N inthis way can be indicated of as Cartesian product of N copies S1

S1 of the circle.

Figure 1.1: 2-dimensional torus T 2.

The T N is an additive group and then zero 0 01,02,,0N is the identity elementof the group. Therefore, the inverse of x > T N is denote by x x1,x2,,xN,see Example 1.1.

The T N can be thought of as subset of CN such that

eix1 ,eix2 ,,eixN >CN , x1,x2,,xN > π,πN ,

this mean the interval π,π can be visualized as the unit circle in C once π andπ are identified. Now, we say that a function f is 2πperiodic in every coordinate, if

f x12πn1,x22πn2,,xN 2πnN f x1,x2,,xN,for all x > RN and n > ZN . Hence, such a function is defined on torus T N . TheNdimensional Lebesgue measure (i.e volume in RN) is restricted to the set T N π,πN and denoted by dx. By translation invariance of the Lebesgue measure (i.e.mE a mE, E `RN , a >RN) and the periodicity of functions on T N , we have

for all f on T N and y >RN . Finally, the LP spaces on T N are nested such that

where x >R and the coefficients a0,a1,b1, are real. The terms of this series are allof period 2π, therefore, it is sufficient to study the trigonometric series in T π,π.The following partial sum

Qn1

an cosnxbn sinnx, x >R,

is a finite trigonometric sum so-called trigonometric polynomial of order ν , becauseof fact that Sνx is the real part of an ordinary polynomial Pz of degree ν , wherez eix. If Saν S Sbν S x 0, Sνx is said to be strictly of order ν . The complex form ofthis partial sum takes the form

Sνx ν

by putting cn 12an ibn, cn cn, ¦n 0,1,2,. This complex form is νth sym-

The series (1.2) may be written in the form (1.1) with an and bn are real, it will bea cosine series if and only if the cn are real, while it is a sine series if and only ifthe cn are purely imaginary. The form (1.2) gives advantage to leave the coefficientsunrestricted and often suggests a complex method of summation.

with arbitrary complex coefficient cn. We denote by expression n,x the inner prod-uct. Similar to one dimension case the series (1.3) is called trigonometric polyno-mial, whenever cnZN is a finitely supported sequence in ZN . The degree of series(1.3) is the large number Sb1S SbN S such that cb x 0, where b b1,b2,,bN.In the multidimensional case, there will be different concept of partial sum. Forexample, in two dimensions one needs to find in what sense will expand the set ofinteger numbers (i.e. n1,n2 > Z2 ) and exhausting R2, thus one may take the set ascircle, cube or ellipsoid, it leads to take the sum in what it is called principle valuesense, thus will face various partial sums of a multiple series, for instant.

Figure 1.2: Plot Lattices n1,n2 >Z2, enclosed by circles, squares and ellipses.

Remark that the cases of spherical and cubical sums form a family of enclosingsets, but this is not the case in rectangular sum. However, we tend to restrict thesummation methods for the multiple partial sum into two type, as following:A If Ω G is a family of finite subsets of ZN such that,1 ¦G,G > Ω §G > Ω G

G>Ω

then one may define the partial sum with respect to the family Ω by

It is clear that if Ω is taken as a family of rectangular, cubes or balls, then onehas the rectangular, cubic and spherical partial sums, respectively. The concept ofconvergence can be defined as follows:

If ¦ε A 0, §Gε > Ω such that

¦G > Ω Gε ` G SSGx f xS @ ε,

we say that the series (1.3) is Ω-convergent at the point x to f x.B If Q is any bounded subset of RN containing the origin and Ω is a family of allsets of the form n >ZN

n > λQ, where λ A 0. Then the corresponding partial sumshave the form

SλQx Qn>λQ9ZN

cnein,x. (1.8)

In the case of type B the series (1.3) is Ω-convergent at the point x, iflimλªSλQx exists. In particular, when Q is the unit cube or ball, respectively,the SλQx is cubic or spherical partial sum.

Note that the rectangular (1.4) convergence implies cubic (1.5) convergence, but theconverse is not true. On the other hand, the spherical(1.6) convergence dose notimply cubic convergence, and thus not rectangular convergence, the converse is nottrue either.

n1,n2 Sn1S B 4 2k, Sn2S B 4 2k.In order to focus on the Fourier series, one may determine the coefficient cn in thefollowing manner, assume that the series (1.3) converge to a function f x in thesense that allows one to integrate the series term by term, as it is the case of uniformconvergence and convergence in LpT N, then we have

now by multiplying the both side with ein,x and integrating over T N we obtain

f xein,xdx, (1.9)

where f n cn is called the Fourier coefficients of f x. The nth Fourier coeffi-cients are defined if a complex-valued function f > L1T N, moreover f n 0 asSnS 0, this is because of Riemann-Lebesgue lemma.

In this point we introduce some elementary properties of Fourier coefficients (seeGrafakos (2008)). Therefore, we denote by f the complex conjugate of the functionf , by f x f x the reflection of f , and by τ

so-called the Fourier series of the function f x. The main and natural questions arisehere: does the Fourier series converge to f ? If it does, in what sense that convergenceis done and with respect to which family G as mentioned above?. What is theeffect of dimensions on behavior of the Fourier series? Also under which classesof functions the convergence may be true?. The study of these questions release animportant field so-called Fourier analysis a sub-domain of the harmonic analysis.

An interesting type of a family G is when G ξ >RN Aξ @ λ and Aξ is an

algebraic polynomial of even degree m with constants aα defined

This family is relative to the elliptic partial differential operator as we will see insection (1.2.3).

Unfortunately, the set G with (1.11) does not refer to summation method of type Bas it is mentioned above, the reason for that it is not similar for different values ofλ . However, if we take a homogeneous elliptic polynomial of order m (i.e. Ahtξ tmAhξ ) defines

then we can have a summation method of type B by putting Q ξ >RNAhξ@ 1

It is known that there are various forms of convergence such as pointwise conver-gence, uniform convergence, almost everywhere convergence and convergence inLpT N. We define them as follows:

Let f j j>N be a sequence of functions from LpT N, and B ` T N . We say that f jxconverges pointwise to the function f x on set B if

limjª

f jx f x for each x > B.

Unfortunately, this type of convergence does not guarantee to make a sequence ofcontinuous functions converge to continuous function as well as be differentiable, forexample consider the sequence f jx e jx, j 0,1,2,, on 0,1, then f jx 0as jª for each x > 0,1, but f j0 1 for all j.

Therefore, we introduce the uniform convergence, for that we define Lpnorm by

Y f YLpT N ST N

S f xSp dx 1p, 1 B p @ª,

and for p ª by

Y f YLªT N de f ess.sup S f S de f

infC A 0 µx > T N S f xS AC 0,

where µ is a positive measure on T N .

Thus, the sequence f jx converge uniformly to function f if

limjª

Y f j f YLª 0.

In general we have the following convergence in norm, it is said that f j converge tof > LpT N in Lpnorm, if

limjª

Y f j f YLP 0, 1 B p @ª.

We pass forward for definition of the almost everywhere convergence. We said thatthe sequence f j almost everywhere converges to f > LpT N, if

µx limjª

f jx x f x 0.

In this study we focus on the almost everywhere convergence of the multiple Fourierseries related to the functions from classes of Liouville.

1.2.3 Spectral Theory of the Elliptic Differential Operators

Let consider an arbitrary differential operator with constant coefficients:

AD QSα SBm

aα Dα , (1.16)

where Dα Dα . . . DαN

N , D j i

∂x j, and as above, α is a multi-index.

The polynomial (1.11) is associated with differential operator AD by replaced Dwith ξ >RN and it is called a symbol of operator AD, the homogeneous polynomial(1.12) is called its principle symbol. The operator AD is said to be elliptic of orderm if its principle symbol satisfies SAhξS A 0 for all ξ >RN , ξ x 0.

Example 1.3 1. Cauchy-Riemann operator m 1,N 2

AD1,D2 12D1 iD2

is elliptic. Since SAξ1,ξ2S 12

¼ξ 2

1 ξ 22 A 0, if ξ1,ξ2 x 0,0.

2. Bitsadze operatorAD1,D2 D2

12iD12D22

also elliptic.

The operator AD is considered in the Hilbert space L2T N as an unbounded op-erator with domain CªT N the class of infinitely differentiable functions on T N . Incase the coefficients are real, the AD will satisfy the symmetric condition:

Au,v u,Av, ¦u,v >CªT N. (1.17)

In addition, since the operator AD is elliptic, then by Garding’s inequality theoperator AD is semi-bounded (see Hörmander (1985))

Au,u C λAu,u, ¦u >CªT N, (1.18)

where nonnegative constant λA is called lower bound of A. Hence, Friedrichs’s the-orem asserts that for every symmetric semi-bounded operator there are at least oneself-adjoint extension with the same lower bound, then there is a self-adjoint exten-sion A in L2T N of operator AD which, indeed, its closure, and they are coincidedon the domain of definition i. e. Au Au, u >CªT N. By von Neumann’s spectraltheorem, the operator A has a spectral decomposition of unity Eλ, and then it canbe represented in the following form (see Alimov et al. (1976), Alimov et al. (1977))

A Sª

the projections Eλ increase monotonically, and continuous on the left, moreover

limλª

YEλ uuYL2T N 0, u > L2T N.The operator A has a complete orthonormal system (see Definition 1.6.1) of eigen-functions 2πN~2ein,x in L2T N corresponding to the eigenvalues An, n >

ZN. Thus, the spectral decomposition of f > L2T N coincides with (1.13) partialsums of the multiple Fourier series of function f related to An. An interestingfact that the lower order coefficients aα , Sα S @ m of AD do not influence the con-vergence of the spectral decomposition Eλ f provided the function f is sufficientlysmooth. Then one can reduce the study of convergence for partial sum (1.13) to thestudy of simpler case, that is, applying the summation over expanding its principlesymbol Ahn.The spectral decomposition Eλ can be written as an integral operator:

Eλ f x ST N

Ψλ x,y f ydy,

where the kernelΨλ x,y 2πN Q

An@λ

ein,xy (1.19)

is called the spectral function of operator A. Indeed, the operator Eλ is a convolutionoperation Ψλ f , such that

Eλ f x ST N

Ψλ xy f ydy. (1.20)

In the case of second order differential operator, a Laplace operator

N

Qk1

∂2

∂x2k

(1.21)

is considered in the Hilbert space L2T N as an unbounded operator with domainCªT N. For u,v >CªT N, and by inner product in L2T N one can see the oper-ator ∆ symmetric and nonnegative, indeed

∆u,v u,∆v∆u,u ©u,©u C 0,

where © ∂

∂x1,, ∂

∂xN is the gradient of u, and it is a simplest elliptic operators

since its symbol Sξ S2 A 0, ¦ξ x 0. Then, as above, by Friedrichs’s theorem it hasa nonnegative self-adjoint extension, again, denoted by A and coincides with theclosure of ∆ in L2T N, such that

with a complete orthonormal system of eigenfunctions 2πN~2ein,x, corre-sponding to the eigenvalues SnS2, n > ZN. Therefore a spectral decomposition ofa function f > L2T N have the form

Sλ f x QSnS2@λ

where it shows that the spectral expansion Eλ f coincides with the spherical partialsums of the Fourier series.

1.3 Functional Spaces on the Torus

We deal in this study with functions which are termed as a Liouville spaces Lsp where

s A 0 (coincide for s integers with Sobolev spaces). They study the differentiabilityand smoothness of functions. A fundamental fact is that smoothness can be measuredand fine-tuned by using the Fourier transform. Indeed, the investigation of the subjectis based on this point. We commence by the Sobolev spaces.

1.3.1 Sobolev Spaces W kp T N

The main idea of introducing of the Sobolev spaces is measuring the smoothness ofa given function in terms of the integrability of its derivatives. We give the classicaldefinition of Sobolev spaces.

Definition 1.3.1 Let k be a nonnegative integer and let 1 B p @ª. The Sobolev spaceW k

p T N is defined as the space of functions f in LpT N all of whose distributionalderivatives ∂

α f are also in LpT N for all multi-indices α that satisfy Sα S B k. Thisspace is normed by the expression

Y f YW kp QSα SBk

Y∂ α f YLp (1.22)

where ∂0,,0 f f .

The index k indicates the degree of smoothness of a given function in W kp . These

spaces form a decreasing sequence (see Grafakos (2009))

LP aW 1p aW 2

p a,

meaning that each W K1P T N is a subspace of W k

PT N in view of the Sobolevnorms.

The Sobolev space W kp T N is complete. To see this, let f j a Cauchy sequence in

W kp , then ∂

α f j is a Cauchy sequence in Lp for all Sα S B k. By the completeness of Lp,

13

Page 31: UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA THE ALMOST EVERYWHERE

HT UPM

there exist functions fα such that ∂α f j fα in Lp, then clearly

1Sα S` f j,∂α

ϕe `∂ α f j,ϕe ` fα ,ϕe, (1.23)

for all ϕ >CªT N. Here, ` f ,ϕe f ϕ represents the action of a distribution f ona test function ϕ >CªT N (see Hörmander (1983)). For instance, the Dirac mass atthe origin δ0 is delta distribution defined by

`δ0,ϕe ϕ0Since the left hand side of (1.23) converges to

1Sα S` f ,∂ αϕe,

it follows that the distributional derivative ∂α f of f is fα . This implies that f j f

in W kp .

1.3.2 Liouville Spaces LspT N

The Liouville space is considered as generalization of Sobolev Spaces, where theclasses W k

p T N can also be described in terms of Fourier transform. By that one canextend the definition of Sobolev space to the case in which the index k is real. Weexplain the idea by putting p 2. By using the Plancherel’s identity we obtain thatthe norm (1.22) for f >W k

2 can be introduced in the form

Y f Y2W k

2 Q

n>ZNQSα SBk

Snα S2S f nS2.Taking into account the following inequality

ck1 Sξ S2kB QSα SBk

Sξ α S2 BCk1 Sξ S2k,

which holds for all ξ >RN with some positive constants ck,Ck. This gives a motiva-tion for the following definition (see Alimov et al. (1992)).

Definition 1.3.2 Let s be a real number and let 1 B p @ª. The Liouville spaceLs

pT N is defined as the space of all functions f in LpT N, such that

Qn>ZN

1 SnS2 s2 f neinx

Thus the norm of f in LspT N has a form

.

14

Page 32: UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA THE ALMOST EVERYWHERE

We observe that when s 0 then Lsp Lp. The space Ls

p coincides with the space W kp

when s k a positive integer number. We also note that when s C 0 the elements ofLs

p are always Lp, i.e. Lsp b Lp.

If 0 @ s1 @ s then Lsp ` Ls1

p . Moreover we have the embedding

Lsp Ls1

Example 1.4 Let f x SxSt , t A 0 and x > T N . Let s k a positive integer, then forall α with Sα S k the derivative ∂

1.4 Interpolation Theorem of the Family of Linear Operators

There is two classical interpolation theorems which form the foundation to wholetheory. In brief, they are the Marcinkiewicz interpolation theorem which is wellknown as real method, it is applicable for non-linear operators and the endpointestimates are of weak typep,q. And the Riesz-Thorin interpolation theorem whichis known as the complex method. On contrary of the previous theorem, it is mostlyapplicable for linear operators with strong endpoint estimates . The Riesz-Thorininterpolation theorem was the motivation for new result, namely Stein’s theorem oninterpolation of analytic families of linear operators. Therefore, we demonstrate theRiesz-Thorin theorem by the next example in order to have clear picture about nextsubsections (see Stein and Weiss (1971)).

Example 1.5 Let the operator T acting on Lp by convolution operation such thatT f f g for fixed g > LpRN, where

f gx SRN

f ygxydy.

One can use the Minkowski’s integral inequality to see that the operator T is boundedon L1RN and having values in LpRN with operator norm YTY B YgYLpRN. Onthe other hand, one can apply Holder’s inequality to show that the operator T isbounded on space LpRN and taking values in space LªRN whenever 1~p1~p 1, again we have YTY B YgYLpRN. These endpoint estimates for operator T

led to a natural question that whether T maps LrRN, 1B r B p boundedly into somespace LqRN, a positive answer one can easily have by applying the Riesz-Thorininterpolation theorem and the result is so-called Young’s inequality:

The Stein’s theorem is considered a generalization of the Riesz-Thorin theorem inwhich the single operator T is replaced by a family of operators Tzz that dependanalytically on a parameter z > S z >C 0 B Rez B 1.Let X ,µ and Y,ν be measure space. Suppose that to each z > S there is assigneda linear operator Tz on the space of simple function on X and taking values in thespace of ν-measurable function on Y in such a way that Tz f g is ν-integrable on Ywhenever f and g are simple function on X and Y. The family Tzz is said to be anadmissible growth if the mapping

is analytic (i.e. it can be expanded as a convergent Taylor series for every point inthe domain) in the interior of S, continuous on S and there exists a constant C f ,g suchthat

1.5 Fractional Powers of Elliptic Operators

Let Λ be a subset of the complex plane (in the applications this will, as a rule, bean angle with the vertex at the origin). In spectral theory it is useful to consideroperators depending on a parameter λ > Λ. An example of such an operator is theresolvent Aλ I1.

We assume that the differential operator (1.16) is elliptic, symmetric and semi-bounded, by that we mean respectively, its principle symbol (1.12) is positive andsatisfies both equality (1.17) and inequality (1.18).

We denote by A an operator acting in the Hilbert space L2T N with the domain ofdefinition DA CªT N:

Au AD f x, f >CªT N.It is proven that (see Theorem 9.3 Shubin (2001)) there exists λ0 A 0 such that theresolvent Rλ A λ I1 is defined for Sλ S C λ0. The spectrum PA of A is adiscrete subset of the complex plane. We choose a number ρ satisfying the conditionthat the disk Sλ S @ 2ρ does not intersect with the spectrum PA. Now we select acontour of the form Γ Γ1Γ2Γ3

Γ1 λ >C λ reiπ , ª A r A ρΓ2 λ >C λ ρeiφ , π A φ A πΓ3 λ >C λ reiπ , ρ @ r @ ª.

Consider the integral

where λz is defined as a analytic function of λ > Cª,0. Note that the inte-

gral (1.25) converges in the operator norm on L2T N for Rz @ 0 and also Az is abounded operator on L2T N.With the help this operator we can define fractional power of the elliptic operator asfollows: Let z >C and k >Z be such that Rz @ k. Put, on CªT N

Az AkAzk.

Such defined operator is independent of the choice of integer k. And for arbitraryk > Z, s > R, the function Az is analytic operator function of z in the half-planeRez@ k with values in the Banach space L Ls

1.6 Orthonormal Basis in T N and Menchoff-Rademacher Theorem

In this section we deal with the system of functions φkxªk0 from L2T N.Definition 1.6.1 If a sequence of functions φkxªk0 satisfy conditions

ST N

φnxφkxdx 1 when n k,0 when n x k,

then φkxªk0 is said to be an orthonormal system of functions on T N .

Let φkx be the orthonormal system of functions in L2T N and let define thefollowing numbers

ck ST N

f xφkxdx, k 0,1,2, ...., (1.26)

18

Page 36: UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA THE ALMOST EVERYWHERE

HT UPM

so-called the Fourier coefficients of f related to φkx, then we write

f x ª

Qk0

ckφkx,as a Fourier series of f relative to the orthonormal system φkxªk0. The symbol says nothing about convergence of the series, it only means that the coefficients aregiven by (1.26).

The following theorem is important tool to prove almost everywhere convergence ofFourier series by general orthonormal system. We refer for more facts on the generalorthonormal systems to Zygmund (1959a).

Theorem 1.6.2 (Menchoff-Rademacher) Let φkxªk0 ` L2T N be an or-thonormal system of functions and let ckªk0 be an arbitrary sequence of complexnumbers such that

The proof of this fact can be found in Alexits (1961). The Menchoff-RadimacherTheorem will be used in chapter III to establish the almost everywhere convergenceand estimation of the maximal operator in L2T N.

1.7 Best Approximation by Trigonometric Polynomials

We denote by C2π a class of 2π-periodic and continuous functions on whole R. Letus recall some classical results from the theory of approximations of the functionsfrom C2π by trigonometric polynomials:

Pkx k

Qn0

an cosnxbn sinnx, k 0,1,2, ...

It is well known that any function from C2π can be approximated by trigonomet-ric polynomials. In fact if f >C2π , then for any ε A 0 there exists a trigonometricpolynomial Pkx such that

SPkx f xS @ ε, ¦x >R,

for the proof of this fact we refer to Bari (1964).

19

Page 37: UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA THE ALMOST EVERYWHERE

Our method of estimation of the maximal operator is based on the best approximationby trigonometric polynomials of several variables. Here we give the main idea of thebest approximation by trigonometric polynomials of single variable, which will beextended to several variables in chapter III and IV.

Let Pk denotes the set all of trigonometric polynomials of degree not exceeding k,by taking an arbitrary trigonometric polynomial Px >Pk we put

MP maxx>R

SPx f xS.We define a best approximation of f x in Pk as follows

Bk f infP>Pk

MP.For any k there exists a polynomial P >Pk, such that

MP Bk f .For the function f >C2π we define the modulus of continuity by the following

ωδ supSxySBδ

S f x f yS, (1.27)

where it assumed that the number δ is positive. The module of continuity of thefunction f has following properties

1. The ωδ is increasing function.2. If a function f x is uniformly continuous, then

limδ0

ωδ 0.

3. (a) If k is natural number, then

ωkδ B kωδ.(b) If λ is arbitrary positive number, then

ωλδ B λ 1ωδ. (1.28)

The following Theorem is known as Jackson type theorem (see Natanson (1961))and will be extended to Ndimensional case in chapter III for trigonometric polyno-mials summed over spherical levels and in chapter IV for trigonometric polynomialssummed over elliptic levels.

20

Theorem 1.7.1 For any function f from C2π we have

Bk f B 12ω 1k .

From this fact we easily derive the estimation for partial sums of Fourier series. Infact let f >C2π satisfies the inequality

S f xS B M, ¦x >R,

then the partial sums of the Fourier series of the function f satisfy the inequality

SSk f xS B M2 lnk. (1.29)

From the estimation 1.29 we conclude the following

Theorem 1.7.2 Let Bk f be the best approximation of f > C2π by trigonometricpolynomials of order not exceeding k. Then for all x >R one has

SSk f x f xS B 3 lnkBk f . (1.30)

For the proof of this fact we refer to Natanson (1961). The idea of estimation 1.30will be used in chapter III and IV.

1.8 Research Objectives

Here, we introduce the goals of this research:

1. To obtain the sufficient conditions for the almost everywhere convergence ofthe multiple Fourier series summed by spherical method in the classes of Li-ouville on Torus.

2. To prove almost everywhere convergence of the elliptic partial sums of themultiple Fourier series in the classes of Liouville on Torus.

3. To investigate the conditions for the best approximation of the summable func-tions by multiple Fourier series summed over elliptic levels.

4. To generalize the Menchoff-Rademacher Theorem to the spectral decomposi-tions of the self adjoint differential operators.
