1. Introduction

In their seminal papers, Hörmander’s and Mikhlin’s [10], [15] initiated the study of boundedness of the translation invariant operators on d. The translation invariant operators on d were characterized using the classical Euclidean Fourier transform (f) and therefore they are also known as Fourier multipliers. Given a measurable function

m:d

its Fourier multiplier is the linear map 𝒯m given for all λd by the relation

(1) (𝒯m(f))(λ)=m(λ)(f)(λ).

The Hörmander-Mikhlin fundamental condition gives a criterion for Lp-boundedness for all 1<p< of Fourier multiplier 𝒯m in terms of derivatives of the symbol m, more precisely if

(2) |λγm(λ)||λ||γ|for0|γ|[d2]+1,

then, 𝒯m can be extended to a bounded linear operator from Lp(d) into itself.

The condition (2) imposes m to be a bounded function, smooth over 𝐑d\{0} satisfying certain local and asymptotic behavior. Locally, m admits a singularity at 0 with a mild control of derivatives around it up to order [d2]+1. This singularity links to deep concepts in harmonic analysis and justifies the key role of Hörmander-Mikhlin theorem in Fourier multiplier Lp-theory, this condition defines a large class of Fourier multipliers including Riesz transforms and Littelwood-Paley partitions of unity which are crucial in Fourier summability or Pseudo-differential operator. The boundedness of Fourier multipliers is useful to solve problems in the area of mathematical analysis as probability theory (see [13]) and stochastic processes (see [2]). For its importance, many researchers extended the theory of Fourier multiplier to different settings, for example in the Dunkl-Weinstein setting [20], in the Laguerre-Bessel setting [7] and in the Dunkl’s setting [19].

The general theory of reproducing kernels started with Aronszajn’s in [1] in 1950, next the authors in [12], [17], [18] applied this theory to study Tikhonov regularization problem and they obtained approximate solutions for bounded linear operator equations on Hilbert spaces with the viewpoint of numerical solutions by computers. This theory has gained considerable interest in various fields of mathematical sciences, especially in Engineering and numerical experiments by using computers [12], [18].

The Hartley transform is an integral transform attributed to Hartley see [5], [6], this transform shares several essential properties with the classical Fourier transform, including linearity, invertibility and Parseval’s identity. These transforms find extensive applications across various fields of mathematics, physics and engineering, such as signal processing, data analysis and number theory see [5], [6], [11], [21].

The Hartley transform is a linear operator defined for a suitable function ψ(x) as follows:

(3) (ψ)(λ)=12πψ(x)cas(λx)𝑑x,

where cas(x) is the cas function, defined as

(4) cas(x)=n=0(1)(n+12)n!xn,

with (n2)=n(n1)2 being the binomial coefficient. The cas(x) function (4) can be seen as a generalization of the exponential function exp.

A simple computation shows that the cas function is the unique C solution of the following differential-reflection problem (see [5])

{Rxu(x)=λu(x),u(0)=0.

Here, x represents the first-order derivative, and R is the reflection operator acting on functions f(x) as:

(5) (Rf)(x)=f(x).

Furthermore, the function cas(x) is multiplicative on in the sense

(6) cas(x)cas(y)=12(cas(x+y)cas(xy)+cas(xy)+cas(yx)).

Inspired by relation (6), the author in [3] generalized the relation (6) for the Hartley-Bessel function and introduced a generalized convolution product. This paper focuses on the generalized Hartley transform introduced in [3], [4] called the Hartley-Bessel transform, more precisely we consider the following dfferential-reflection operator Δα defined by

(7) Δα=R(x+αx)+αx,α0,

where R is the reflection operator given by the relation (4).

The operator Δα is closely connected with the Dunkl’s theory [9]. Furthermore, the eigenfunctions of this operator are related to Bessel functions and they satisfy a product formula which permits to develop a new harmonic analysis associated with this operator (see [3] for more information).

The Hartley-Bessel transform α generalizes the classical Hartley transform (3) and it is defined on Lα1() by

α(f)(λ)=Bα(λx)f(x)𝑑μα(x), for λ,

where μα is the measure on and Bα(λ) is the Hartley-Bessel kernel given later.

Let σ be a function in Lα2() and β>0 be a positive real number. The Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators are defined for a smooth function on as

(8) σ,β(f)(x):=α1(σβα)(x).

These operators are a generalization of the classical multiplier operators given by the relation (1). The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we recall the main results concerning the harmonic analysis associated with the Hartley-Bessel transform. In Section 3 we introduce the Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators σ,β and we give for them a Plancherel’s point-wise reproducing formula and Heisenberg’s, Donoho-Stark’s uncertainty principles. Section 4 is devoted to give an application of the general theory of reproducing kernels to Fourier multiplier theory and to give best estimates and an integral representation of the extremal functions related to the Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators on weighted Sobolev spaces.

2. Harmonic analysis associated with the Hartley-Bessel transform

In this section we recall some results in harmonic analysis related to the Hartley-Bessel transform. For more details we refer the reader to [3].

  • For α0, μα is the weighted Lebesgue measure defined on by

    dμα(x):=|x|2α2α+12Γ(α+12)dx,

    where Γ is the Gamma function.

  • Lαp(),1p, the space of measurable functions on , satisfying

    fp,μα=:{(|f(x)|p𝑑μα(x))1/p<,1p<,esssupx|f(x)|<,p=.

In particular, for p=2, Lα2() is a Hilbert space with inner product given by

f,gα=f(x)g(x)¯𝑑μα(x).

2.1. The Eigenfunctions of the differential-reflection operator Δα

For λ we consider the following Cauchy problem

(S):{Δα(u)(x)=λu(x),u(0)=1.

From [3], [4], the Cauchy problem (S) admits a unique solution Bα(λ.) given by

(9) Bα(λx)=jα12(λx)+λx2α+1jα+12(λx),

where jα denotes the normalized Bessel function of order α (see [16]).

The function Bα(λ.) is infinitely differentiable on and we have the following important result

(10) λ,x,|Bα(λx)|2.

Furthermore from [3], the Hartley-Bessel kernel (9) is multiplicative on in the sense

(11) λ,x,yBα(λx)Bα(λy)=Bα(λz)Kα(x,y,z)𝑑μα(z),

where Kα is the Bessel kernel given explicitly in [3].

The product formula (11) generalizes the relation (6) and permits to define a translation operator, a convolution product and to develop a new harmonic analysis associated to the Differential-reflection operator Δα.

2.2. The Hartley-Bessel transform

Definition 1 ([3]).

The Hartley-Bessel transform α defined on Lα1() is given by

α(f)(λ)=Bα(λx)f(x)𝑑μα(x), for λ.

Some basic properties of this transform are the following. For the proofs, we refer the reader to [3], [4], [5].

Proposition 2.
  • 1.

    For every fLα1() we have

    (12) α(f),μα2f1,μα.
  • 2.

    (Inversion formula) For f(Lα1Lα2)() such that α(f)Lα1() we have

    (13) f(x)=Bα(λx)α(f)(λ)𝑑μα(λ), a.e. x.
  • 3.

    (Parseval formula) For all f,gLα2() we have

    (14) f,gα=α(f),α(g)α,

    In particular we have

    (15) f2,μα=α(f)2,μα.
  • 4.

    (Plancherel theorem) The Hartley-Bessel transform α can be extended to an isometric isomorphism from Lα2() into Lα2().

2.3. The translation operator associated with the Hartley-Bessel transform

The product formula (11) permits to define the translation operator as follows.

Definition 3.

Let x,y and f be a measurable function on . The translation operator is defined by

ταxf(y)=f(z)Kα(x,y,z)𝑑μα(z).

The following proposition summarizes some properties of the Hartley-Bessel translation operator (see [3]).

Proposition 4.

For all x,y, we have:

  1. 1.
    (16) ταxf(y)=ταyf(x).
  2. 2.
    (17) 𝕂ταxf(y)𝑑μα(y)=f(y)𝑑μα(y).
  3. 3.

    For fLαp() with p[1;+],ταxfLαp() and we have

    (18) ταxfp,μα4fp,μα.
  4. 4.

    For fLα1(),ταxfLα1() and we have

    (19) α(ταxf)(λ)=Bα(λx)α(f)(λ),λ.

Relation (19) shows that the translation operator ταx is a particular case of the Hartley-Bessel multiplier operator (8).

By using the translation, we define the generalized convolution product of f,g as

(fαg)(x)=𝕂ταx(f)(y)g(y)𝑑μα(y).

This convolution is commutative, associative and it satisfies the following properties (see [3]).

Proposition 5.
  • 1.

    (Young’s inequality) For all p,q,r[1;+] such that: 1p+1q=1+1r and for all fLαp(),gLαq() the function fαg belongs to the space Lαr() and we have

    (20) fαgr,μα4fp,μαgq,μα
  • 2.

    For f,gLα2() the function fαg belongs to Lα2() if and only if the function α(f)α(g) belongs to Lα2() and in this case we have

    (21) α(fαg)=α(f)α(g).
  • 3.

    For all f,gLα2() we have

    (22) |fαg(x,t)|2𝑑μα(x)=|α(f)(λ)|2|α(g)(λ)|2𝑑μα(λ),

    where both integrals are simultaneously finite or infinite.

3. The Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators

The main purpose of this section is to introduce the Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators on and to establish for them some uncertainty principles and Calderon’s reproducing formulas.

3.1. Calderon’s reproducing formulas for the Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators

Definition 6.

Let σLα2() and β>0. The Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators are defined for smooth functions on as

(23) σ,β(f)(x):=α1(σβα(f))(x),

where the function σβ is given for all λ by

σβ(λ):=σ(βλ).

By a simple change of variable we find that for all β>0,σβLα2() and

(24) σβ2,μα=β2α+12σ2,μα.
Remark 7.

According to relation (21) we find that

(25) σ,β(f)(x)=(α1(σβ)αf)(x),

where

(26) α1(σβ)(x)=β(2α+1)α1(σ)(xβ).

We give some properties of the Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators.

Proposition 8.
  1. (i)

    For every σLα2(), and fLα1(), the function σ,β(f) belongs to Lα2(), and we have

    σ,β(f)2,μα4β2α+12σ2,μαf1,μα.
  2. (ii)

    For every σLα(), and for every fLα2(), the function σ,β(f) belongs to Lα2(), and we have

    (27) σ,β(f)2,μασ,μαf2,μα
  3. (iii)

    For every σLα2(), and for every fLα2(), then σ,β(f)Lα(), and we have

    (28) σ,β(f)(x)=σ(βλ)Bα(λx)α(f)(λ)𝑑μα(λ), a.e. x

    and

    σ,β(f),μα4β2α+12σ2,μαf2,μα.
Proof.

(i) By using the relations (20), (25) we find that

σ,β(f)2,μα2=α1(σβ)αf2,μα216f1,μα2α1(σβ)1,μα2.

Plancherel’s formula (15) and relation (24) give the desired result.

(ii) It is a consequence of Plancherel’s formula (15).

(iii) By relations (15), (20), (24) and (25) we find the result. On the other hand the relation (28) follows from inversion formula (13). ∎

In the following result, we give Plancherel’s and pointwise reproducing inversion formula for the Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators.

Theorem 9.

Let σLα2() satisfy the admissibility condition:

(29) 0|σβ(λ)|2dββ=1,λ.
  • (i)

    (Plancherel formula) For all f in Lα2(), we have

    (30) |f(x)|2𝑑μα(x)=0σ,β(f)2,μα2dββ.
  • (ii)

    (First Calderón’s formula) Let fLα1() such that α(f)Lα1(). Then we have

    f(x)=0(σ,β(f)αα1(σβ¯))(x)dββ, a.e. x.
Proof.

(i) By using Fubini’s theorem and the relations (22) and (25) we get

0σ,β(f)2,μα2dββ =0[|α1(σβ)αf(x)|2𝑑μα(x)]dββ
=0[|α(f)(λ)|2𝑑μα(λ)]|σβ(λ)|2dββ.

The admissibility condition (29) and Plancherel’s formula (15) give the desired result.

(ii) Let fLα1() such that α(f)Lα1(). By using Fubini’s theorem and relations (14), (19) we find that

0(σ,β(f)αα1(σβ¯))(x)dββ=
=0[σ,β(f)(y)ταx(α1(σβ))(y)¯𝑑μα(y)]dββ
=0[α(f)(λ)Bα(λx)(x,t)𝑑μα(λ)]|σβ(λ)|2dββ.

The admissibility condition (29) and inversion formula (15) give the desired result. ∎

To establish the second Calderon’s reproducing formula for the Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators, we need the following technical result.

Proposition 10.

Let σLα2()Lα() satisfy the admissibility condition (29). Then the function defined by

Φγ,δ(λ)=γδ|σβ(λ)|2dββ

belongs to Lα2()Lα() for all 0<γ<δ<.

Proof.

Using Hölder’s inequality for the measure dββ and relation (24) we find that

Φγ,δ2,μα2log(δ/γ)σ,μα2σ2,γα2γδdββ(2α+3)/2<.

So, Φγ,δ belongs to Lα2(). Furthermore, by using relation (29) we get Φγ,δ,μα1 and therefore Φγ,δ belongs to Lα2()Lα(). ∎

Theorem 11 (Second Calderón’s formula).

Let fLα2() and σLα2()Lα() satisfy the admissibility condition (29) and 0<γ<δ<. Then the function

fγ,δ(x)=γδ(σ,β(f)αα1(σβ¯))(x)dββ,x

belongs to Lα2() and satisfies

(31) lim(γ,δ)(0,)fγ,δf2,μα=0.
Proof.

By a simple computation we find that

fγ,δ(x)=Φγ,δ(λ)Bα(λx)α(f)(λ)𝑑μα(λ)=α1(Φγ,δα(f))(x).

Using Proposition 10 we find that Φγ,δLα(). Then we have fγ,δLα2() and

α(fγ,δ)(λ)=Φγ,δ(λ,m)α(f)(λ).

On the other hand, by using Plancherel’s formula (15) we find that

lim(γ,δ)(0,)fγ,δf2,μα2=lim(γ,δ)(0,)|α(f)(λ)|2(1Φγ,δ(λ))2𝑑μα(λ).

By using the admissibility condition (29), the relation (31) follows from the dominated convergence theorem. ∎

3.2. Uncertainty principles for the Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators

The main purpose of this subsection is to establish Heisenberg’s and Donoho-Stark’s uncertainty principles for the Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators σ,β.

3.2.1. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle for 𝝈,𝜷

In [14] the authors proved the following Heisenberg’s inequality for α, there exist a positive constant c such that for all fLα2() we have

(32) f2,μα2c|x|2f2,μα|λ|2α(f)2,μα.

We will generalize this inequality for σ,β.

Theorem 12.

There exists a positive constant c such that for all fLα2() we have

f2,μα2c|λ|2α(f)2,μα[0|x|2σ,β(f)2,μα2dββ]12.
Proof.

By using relation (32) we find that

|σ,β(f)(x)|2𝑑μα(x)c|x|2σ,β(f)2,μα|λ|2σβα(f)2,μα.

Integrating over ]0,+[ with respect to the measure dββ and by using Plancherel’s formula (30) and Schwartz’s inequality we get

f2,μα2 c[0|x|2σ,β(f)2,μα2dββ]12
[0[||λ|4σβ(λ)|2|α(f)(λ)|2|(λ)|𝑑μα(λ)]dββ]12.

Fubini’s theorem and the admissibility condition (29) give the desired result. ∎

3.2.2. Donoho-Stark’s uncertainty principle for 𝝈,𝜷

Building on the ideas of Donoho and Stark in [8], the main purpose of this subsection is to give an uncertainty inequality of concentration type in Lθ2() where Lθ2() is the space of measurables functions on ]0,+[× such that

f2,θα=[0f(β,)2,μα2dββ]12.

We denote by θα the measure defined on ]0,+[× by

dθα(β,x)=dμα(x)dββ,
Definition 13 ([8]).
  • (i)

    Let E be a measurable subset of . We say that the function fLα2() is ϵ-concentrated on E if

    (33) f𝟙Ef2,μαϵf2,μα,

    where 𝟙E is the indicator function of the set E.

  • (ii)

    Let F be a measurable subset of ]0,+[×. We say that the function σ,β(f) is ρ-concentrated on F if

    (34) σ,β(f)𝟙Fσ,β(f)2,θαρσ,β(f)2,θα.

We have the following result.

Theorem 14.

Let fLα2() and σLα2()Lα1() satisfy the admissibility condition (29). If f is ϵ-concentrated on E and 𝒯σ,β(f) is ρ-concentrated on F then we have

σ1,μα(μα(E))12[Fdθα(β,x)β2α+1]121(ϵ+ρ).
Proof.

Let fLα2() and σLα2()Lα() satisfying (29) and assume that μα(E)< and [Fdθα(β,x)β2α+1]12<.

According to relations (33), (34) and Plancherel’s relation (30) we find that

σ,β(f)2,θα σ,β(f)𝟙Fσ,β(𝟙Ef)2,θα+𝟙Fσ,β(𝟙Ef)2,θα
(35) (ϵ+ρ)f2,μα+𝟙Fσ,β(𝟙Ef)2,θα.

On the other hand by the relations (13), (28) and Hölder’s inequality we find that

(36) 𝟙Fσ,β(𝟙Ef)2,θαf2,μασ1,μα(μ(E))12[Fdθα(β,x)β2α+1]12.

By using relations (3.2.2), (36) we deduce that

σ,β(f)2,θαf2,μα[(ϵ+ρ)+σ1,γα(μα(E))12[Fdθα(β,xβ2α+1]12].

Plancherel’s formula (30) for σ,β gives the desired result. ∎

4. Extremal functions associated with the Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators

In this section we study the extremal functions associated with the Hartley-Bessel Lα2-multiplier operators.

Definition 15.

Let ψ be a positive function on satisfying the following conditions

(37) 1ψLα1()

and

(38) ψ(λ)1,(λ).

We define the Sobolev-type space ψ() by

ψ()={fLα2():ψα(f)Lα2()},

provided with inner product

f,gψ=ψ(λ,m)α(f)(λ)α(g)(λ)¯𝑑μα(λ),

and the norm

fψ=f,fψ.
Proposition 16.

Let σ be a function in Lα(). Then the Hartley-Bessel Lα2 multiplier operators σ,β are bounded and linear from ψ() into Lα2() and we have for all fψ()

(39) σ,β(f)2,μασ,γαfψ.
Proof.

By using relations (15), (27), (38) we get the result. ∎

Definition 17.

Let η>0 and let σ be a function in Lα(). We denote by f,gψ,η the inner product defined on the space ψ() by

f,gψ,η=(ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2)α(f)(λ)α(g)(λ)¯𝑑μα(λ),

and the norm

fψ,η=f,fψ,η.
Theorem 18.

Let σLα(). The Sobolev-type space (ψ()),,ψ,η) is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space with kernel

𝒦ψ,η(x,y)=Bα(λx)Bα(λy)ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2𝑑μα(λ),

that is

  • (i)

    For all y, the function x𝒦ψ,η(x,y) belongs to ψ().

  • (ii)

    For all fψ() and y, we have the reproducing property

    f(y)=f,𝒦ψ,η(,(y))ψ,η.
Proof.

(i) Let y, from the relations (10), (37) we have the function

gy:λBα(λy)ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2

belongs to Lα1()Lα2((). Hence the function 𝒦ψ,η is well defined and by the inversion formula (13), we get

𝒦ψ,η(x,y)=α1(gy)(x).

By using Plancherel’s theorem for α we find that 𝒦ψ,η(,y) belongs to Lα2() and we have

(40) α(𝒦ψ,η(,y))(λ)=Bα(λy)ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2.

By using relations (10), (37) and (40) we find that

ψα(𝒦ψ,η(,y))2,μα1η21ψ1,μα<.

This proves that for every y the function x𝒦ψ,η(x,y) belongs to ψ().

(ii) By using the relation (4.4) we find that for all fψ(),

f,𝒦ψ,η(,y)ψ,η =(ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2)α(f)(λ)α(𝒦ψ,η(,y)(λ)¯𝑑μα(λ)
=Bα(λy)α(f)(λ)𝑑μα(λ).

Inversion formula (13) gives the desired result. ∎

By taking σ a null function and η=1 we find the following result.

Corollary 19.

The Sobolev-type space (ψ()),,ψ) is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space with kernel

𝒦ψ(x,y)=Bα(λx)Bα(λy)ηψ(λ)𝑑μα(λ).

The main result of this section can be stated as follows.

Theorem 20.

Let σLα() and β>0, for any hLα2() and for any η>0, there exist a unique function fη,β,h where the infimum

(41) inffψ(){ηfψ2+hσ,β(f)2,μα2}

is attained. Moreover the extremal function fη,β,h is given by

fη,β,h(y)=h(x)Θη,β(x,y)¯𝑑μα(x),

where Θη,β is given by

Θη,β(x,y)=σβ(λ)Bα(λx)Bα(λy)ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2𝑑μα(λ).
Proof.

The existence and the unicity of the extremal function fη,β,h satisfying (41) is given in [17], [18]. Furthermore, fη,β,h is given by

fη,β,h(y)=h,σ,β(𝒦ψ,η(,y))μα.

By using the inversion formula (13) and relation (40) we get

σ,β(𝒦ψ,η(,y)(x) =σβ(λ)Bα(λx)Bα(λy)ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2𝑑μα(λ)
=Θη,β(x,y)

and the proof is complete. ∎

Theorem 21.

If σLα() and hLα2(), then the function fη,β,h satisfies the following properties

(42) α(fη,β,h)(λ)=σβ(λ)¯ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2(λ)

and

fη,β,hψ12ηh2,μα.
Proof.

Let y. Then the function

ky:(λ)σβ(λ)Bα(λy)ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2

belongs to Lα2()Lα1() and by using inversion formula (13) we get

Θη,β(x,y)=α1(ky)(x).

Using Plancherel’s theorem and Parseval’s relation (14) we find that Θη,β(,y)Lα2() and

fη,β,h(y)=α(f)(λ)ky(λ)¯𝑑μα(λ)=σβ(λ)¯ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2α(h)(λ)Bα(λy)𝑑μα(λ).

On the other hand the function

F:λσβ(λ)¯α(h)(λ)ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2

belongs to Lα1()Lα(). By using the inversion formula (13) and Plancherel’s theorem we find that fη,β,h belongs to Lα2() and

α(fη,β,h)(λ)=F(λ).

On the other hand we have

|α(fη,β,h)(λ)|2=|σβ(λ)|2(ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2)2|α(h)(λ)|212ηψ(λ)|α(h)(λ)|2.

By Plancherel’s formula (15) we find that

fη,β,hψ12ηh2,μα.

Theorem 22 (Third Calderón’s formula).

Let σLα() and fψ(). Then the extremal function given by

fη,β,h(y)=σ,β(f)(x)Θη,β(x,y)¯𝑑μα(x),

satisfies

(43) limη0+fη,βf2,μα=0.

Moreover we have fη,βf uniformly when η0+.

Proof.

fψ(), we put h=σ,β(f) and fη,β,h=fη,β in the relation (42) and we find that

(44) α(fη,β,hf)(λ)=ηψ(λ)α(f)(λ)ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2.

Therefore

fη,βfψ2=η2(ψ(λ))3ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2|α(f)(λ)|2𝑑μα(λ).

On the other hand we have

(45) η2(ψ(λ))3ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2|α(f)(λ)|2ψ(λ)|α(f)(λ)|2.

The result (43) follows from (45) and the dominated convergence theorem. Now, for all fψ() we have α(f)Lα2()Lα1() and by using the relations (13), (44) we find that

fη,β(y,s)f(y)=ηψ(λ)α(f)(λ)ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2Bα(λy)𝑑μα(λ)

and

(46) |ηψ(λ)α(f)(λ)ηψ(λ)+|σβ(λ)|2Bα(λy)||α(f)(λ,m)|.

Using relation (46) and the dominated convergence theorem we deduce that

limη0+|fη,β(y)f(y)|=0,

which completes the proof of the theorem. ∎
