If we don't care about uniqueness, can we relax the coercivity condition in Lax-Milgram theorem?

Let $(H, \langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle)$ be a real Hilbert space and $\|\cdot \|$ its induced norm. Let $a: H \times H \to \mathbb R$ be a bilinear form. We say that $a$ is coercive IFF there is $C>...

Boundedness of solutions to second order ODE

Let $q(x)$ be a probability density function over $[0,1]$. Let $\lambda > 0$ and $f: [0,1] \to \mathbb{R}$ be any solution to the following ODE: $$ \lambda f''(x) + q(x) f(x) = 0, \text{for all }x \...

Explicit isomorphism between $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ and $L^2(\mathbb{R})$?

As Hilbert spaces, $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ and $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ are isomorphic. Of course the isomoprhism is vastly not unique. I wonder if there are any particularly nice explicit isomorphisms. E.g. I ...

Solutions to holonomic $D$-modules: when are they square-integrable?

I want to apply the theory of $D$-modules to solve operator equations of several variables in the Bargmann space $$\mathcal H :=\bigg\{\psi \in \mathcal O^\text{an}_{\mathbb{C}^n}\,\,\bigg|\,\,\,\...

$x f'$ bounded by $x^2f $ and $f''$?

Consider the Hilbert space of functions $f \in L^2(\mathbb R)$ such that $x^2f \in L^2(\mathbb R) $ and $ f'' \in L^2(\mathbb R).$ I am wondering whether it is true that $xf'\in L^2(\mathbb R)$ as ...

A specific Schwartz function $f$ on $\mathbb C^2$

Choose a Schwartz function on $\mathbb C$ of the form $f(z)=f(r e^{i\theta})= f_0(r) e^{in\theta}$. Then $$(*) \quad f(e^{i\alpha} z)= e^{in\alpha} f(z), \quad \forall z\in \mathbb C.$$ Now, let $f$ ...

Algorithm for finding eigenfunctions

I have an $ L^2(\mathbb{R}) $ operator that looks like $$ \Omega = \int \partial\phi(a, b)\ \ |b, a\rangle \langle b, a |, $$ where $ \langle x | a, b \rangle = f_a(x - b) e^{x^2/2} $ and $ f_a \in L^...

ODE system has zero as the only solution?

Let $V \subset H$ be a continuous, compact and dense embedding with $V$ and $H$ Hilbert spaces. Let $\beta_j:[0,T] \to \mathbb{R}$ be functions for each $j$, and let $v_j$ be a basis of $V_0$. ...

A linear operator equation (PDE) with non-monotone term

I'm interested in the existence and/or uniqueness to the following problem. Let $V$ and $H$ be Hilbert spaces and $V \subset H \subset V^*$ form a Gelfand triple. There is a linear operator $L:{D}(L) ...

Complex structure on $L^2(\mathbb R)$ generalizing the Hilbert transform

The Hilbert transform on the real Hilbert space $L^2(\mathbb R)$ is the singular integral operator $$ \mathcal H(f)(x) := \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{1}{x-y} f(y) dy. $$ It satisfies $\...
