Hardy Space - Hardy Spaces On The Unit Circle

Hardy Spaces On The Unit Circle

The Hardy spaces defined in the preceding section can also be viewed as certain closed vector subspaces of the complex Lp spaces on the unit circle. This connection is provided by the following theorem (Katznelson 1976, Thm 3.8): Given f ∈ Hp, with p > 0, the radial limit

\tilde f\left(\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\theta}\right) = \lim_{r\to 1} f\left(r \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\theta}\right)

exists for almost every θ. The function belongs to the Lp space for the unit circle, and one has that

Denoting the unit circle by T, and by Hp(T) the vector subspace of Lp(T) consisting of all limit functions, when f varies in Hp, one then has that for p ≥ 1,

(Katznelson 1976), where the ĝ(n) are the Fourier coefficients of a function g integrable on the unit circle,

\forall n \in \mathbb{Z}, \ \ \ \hat{g}(n) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi} g\left(\mathrm{e}^{i\phi}\right) \mathrm{e}^{-in\phi} \, \mathrm{d}\phi.

The space Hp(T) is a closed subspace of Lp(T). Since Lp(T) is a Banach space (for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞), so is Hp(T).

The above can be turned around. Given a function ∈ Lp(T), with p ≥ 1, one can regain a (harmonic) function f on the unit disk by means of the Poisson kernel Pr:

f\left(r \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\theta}\right)= \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_0^{2\pi} P_r\left(\theta-\phi\right) \tilde f\left(\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\phi}\right) \, \mathrm{d}\phi, \ \ \ r < 1,

and f belongs to Hp exactly when is in Hp(T). Supposing that is in Hp(T). i.e. that has Fourier coefficients (an)n ∈ Z with an = 0 for every n < 0, then the element f of the Hardy space Hp associated to is the holomorphic function

In applications, those functions with vanishing negative Fourier coefficients are commonly interpreted as the causal solutions. Thus, the space H2 is seen to sit naturally inside L2 space, and is represented by infinite sequences indexed by N; whereas L2 consists of bi-infinite sequences indexed by Z.

Famous quotes containing the words hardy, spaces, unit and/or circle:

    “The value of old age depends upon the person who reaches it. To some men of early performance it is useless. To others, who are late to develop, it just enables them to finish the job.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “through the spaces of the dark
    Midnight shakes the memory
    As a madman shakes a dead geranium.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “During the Suffragette revolt of 1913 I ... [urged] that what was needed was not the vote, but a constitutional amendment enacting that all representative bodies shall consist of women and men in equal numbers, whether elected or nominated or coopted or registered or picked up in the street like a coroner’s jury. In the case of elected bodies the only way of effecting this is by the Coupled Vote. The representative unit must not be a man or a woman but a man and a woman.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “And year by year our memory fades
    From all the circle of the hills.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
