Boehmians

Last updated March 15, 2019

In mathematics, Boehmians are objects obtained by an abstract algebraic construction of "quotients of sequences." The original construction was motivated by regular operators introduced by T. K. Boehme. Regular operators are a subclass of Mikusiński operators, that are defined as equivalence classes of convolution quotients of functions on $[0,\infty )$ . The original construction of Boehmians gives us a space of generalized functions that includes all regular operators and has the algebraic character of convolution quotients. On the other hand, it includes all distributions eliminating the restriction of regular operators to $[0,\infty )$ .

Mathematics field of study concerning quantity, patterns and change

Mathematics includes the study of such topics as quantity, structure, space, and change.

In mathematics, generalized functions, or distributions, are objects extending the notion of functions. There is more than one recognized theory. Generalized functions are especially useful in making discontinuous functions more like smooth functions, and describing discrete physical phenomena such as point charges. They are applied extensively, especially in physics and engineering.

Distributions are objects that generalize the classical notion of functions in mathematical analysis. Distributions make it possible to differentiate functions whose derivatives do not exist in the classical sense. In particular, any locally integrable function has a distributional derivative. Distributions are widely used in the theory of partial differential equations, where it may be easier to establish the existence of distributional solutions than classical solutions, or appropriate classical solutions may not exist. Distributions are also important in physics and engineering where many problems naturally lead to differential equations whose solutions or initial conditions are distributions, such as the Dirac delta function.

Since the Boehmians were introduced in 1981, the framework of Boehmians has been used to define a variety of spaces of generalized functions on $\mathbb {R} ^{N}$ and generalized integral transforms on those spaces. It was also applied to function spaces on other domains, like locally compact groups and manifolds.

In mathematics, an integral transform maps an equation from its original domain into another domain where it might be manipulated and solved much more easily than in the original domain. The solution is then mapped back to the original domain using the inverse of the integral transform.

In mathematics, a locally compact group is a topological group G for which the underlying topology is locally compact and Hausdorff. Locally compact groups are important because many examples of groups that arise throughout mathematics are locally compact and such groups have a natural measure called the Haar measure. This allows one to define integrals of Borel measurable functions on G so that standard analysis notions such as the Fourier transform and $spaces$ can be generalized.

Manifold topological space that at each point resembles Euclidean space

In mathematics, a manifold is a topological space that locally resembles Euclidean space near each point. More precisely, each point of an n-dimensional manifold has a neighbourhood that is homeomorphic to the Euclidean space of dimension n. In this more precise terminology, a manifold is referred to as an n-manifold.

The general construction of Boehmians

Let $X$ be an arbitrary nonempty set and let $G$ be a commutative semigroup acting on $X$ . Let $\Delta$ be a collection of sequences of elements of $G$ such that the following two conditions are satisfied:

In mathematics, a semigroup is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with an associative binary operation.

(1) If $(\phi _{n}),(\psi _{n})\in \Delta$ , then $(\phi _{n}\psi _{n})\in \Delta$ ,

(2) If $x,y\in X$ and $\phi _{n}x=\phi _{n}y$ for some $(\phi _{n})\in \Delta$ and all $n\in \mathbb {N}$ , then $x=y$ .

Now we define a set of pairs of sequences:

${\mathcal {A}}=\{((x_{n}),(\phi _{n})):x_{n}\in X,(\phi _{n})\in \Delta ,\phi _{m}x_{n}=\phi _{n}x_{m}{\text{ for all }}m,n\in \mathbb {N} \}$ .

In ${\mathcal {A}}$ we introduce an equivalence relation:

$((x_{n}),(\phi _{n}))$ ~ $((y_{n}),(\psi _{n}))$ if $\phi _{m}y_{n}=\psi _{n}x_{m}{\text{ for all }}m,n\in \mathbb {N}$ .

The space of Boehmians ${\mathcal {B}}(X,\Delta )$ is the space of equivalence classes of ${\mathcal {A}}$ , that is ${\mathcal {B}}(X,\Delta )={\mathcal {A}}/$ ~.

In quantum mechanics, bra–ket notation is a standard notation for describing quantum states. It can also be used to denote abstract vectors and linear functionals in mathematics. The notation uses angle brackets and a vertical bar, to denote the scalar product of vectors or the action of a linear functional on a vector in a complex vector space. The scalar product or action is written as

In mathematics, any vector space V has a corresponding dual vector space consisting of all linear functionals on V, together with the vector space structure of pointwise addition and scalar multiplication by constants.

In linear algebra, two vectors in an inner product space are orthonormal if they are orthogonal and unit vectors. A set of vectors form an orthonormal set if all vectors in the set are mutually orthogonal and all of unit length. An orthonormal set which forms a basis is called an orthonormal basis.

Coiflets are discrete wavelets designed by Ingrid Daubechies, at the request of Ronald Coifman, to have scaling functions with vanishing moments.

A locally compact quantum group is a relatively new C*-algebraic approach toward quantum groups that generalizes the Kac algebra, compact-quantum-group and Hopf-algebra approaches. Earlier attempts at a unifying definition of quantum groups using, for example, multiplicative unitaries have enjoyed some success but have also encountered several technical problems.

In functional analysis, a branch of mathematics, it is sometimes possible to generalize the notion of the determinant of a square matrix of finite order to the infinite-dimensional case of a linear operator S mapping a function space V to itself. The corresponding quantity det(S) is called the functional determinant of S.

In mathematics, the Fredholm alternative, named after Ivar Fredholm, is one of Fredholm's theorems and is a result in Fredholm theory. It may be expressed in several ways, as a theorem of linear algebra, a theorem of integral equations, or as a theorem on Fredholm operators. Part of the result states that a non-zero complex number in the spectrum of a compact operator is an eigenvalue.

In mathematical analysis an oscillatory integral is a type of distribution. Oscillatory integrals make rigorous many arguments that, on a naive level, appear to use divergent integrals. It is possible to represent approximate solution operators for many differential equations as oscillatory integrals.

In mathematics, two functions are said to be topologically conjugate to one another if there exists a homeomorphism that will conjugate the one into the other. Topological conjugacy is important in the study of iterated functions and more generally dynamical systems, since, if the dynamics of one iterated function can be solved, then those for any topologically conjugate function follow trivially.

Coherent states have been introduced in a physical context, first as quasi-classical states in quantum mechanics, then as the backbone of quantum optics and they are described in that spirit in the article Coherent states. However, they have generated a huge variety of generalizations, which have led to a tremendous literature in mathematical physics. In this article, we sketch the main directions of research on this line. For further details, we refer to several existing surveys.

Lagrangian field theory is a formalism in classical field theory. It is the field-theoretic analogue of Lagrangian mechanics. Lagrangian mechanics is used for discrete particles each with a finite number of degrees of freedom. Lagrangian field theory applies to continua and fields, which have an infinite number of degrees of freedom.

The theory of causal fermion systems is an approach to describe fundamental physics. Its proponents claim it gives quantum mechanics, general relativity and quantum field theory as limiting cases and is therefore a candidate for a unified physical theory.
