Smooth approximation of Hölder functions "from below"

We assume that we have a $\alpha$-Hölder continuous function $f$ on an interval $[0,1].$ I am wondering if there exists an explicit construction of a sequence $f_{n} \in C_c^{\infty}(\mathbb R)$ such …

Rigorous estimates on roots of function

We consider the function $$f(x) = 1- \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N \frac{\sin\left(\tfrac{\pi i}{N}\right)^2}{1+\sin\left(\tfrac{\pi i}{2N}\right)^2-x}.$$ The arguments of the two sines differ by a factor …

Spectrum of operator involving ladder operators

The ladder operator in quantum mechanics are the operators $$a^\dagger \ = \ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \left(-\frac{d}{dq} + q\right)$$ and $$a \ \ = \ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \left(\ \ \ \!\frac{d}{dq} + q\rig …

Log-convexity of determinant

Let $f(z):=\langle g(z),g(z)\rangle,$ where $z \mapsto g(z)$ is holomorphic and $\langle \bullet,\bullet\rangle$ is an inner-product on some function space, such as $L^2$, such that $\langle g(z),g(z) …

Approximation of Hölder continuous functions "from below"

We assume that we have a $\alpha$-Hölder continuous function $f$ on an interval $[0,1]$ with $f(0)=0$. I am wondering if there exists an explicit construction of a sequence $f_{n} \in C_c^{\infty}(\ma …

Schroedinger operator in 2 dimensions with singular potential

Consider the Schroedinger operator $$H = -\Delta + \frac{c}{\vert x \vert^2}$$ in two dimensions with $c >0$ This operator has a self-adjoint realization, since it is a positive symmetric operator on …

Bound in terms of harmonic oscillator

I wonder if the following is true: Let $\alpha >0$ be a positive real number, do we have $$\Vert H^{\alpha} \psi''\Vert \le \Vert H^{\alpha+1} \psi\Vert,$$ where $H = -\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + x^2$ is the q …

Monotonicity of matrix conjugation

Let $A$ and $B$ be positive-definite matrices such that $A \le B.$ By matrix monotonicity of the root, this also implies that $A^{\alpha} \le B^{\alpha}$ for $\alpha \in [0,1].$ I am now curious under …

Extremizing sequence consists of two elements

Let $\mathcal A_{s}$ be the set of sequences $X=(x_m)_{m \in I}$ where $I=\{1,2,...,n\}$ with $n \ge 2$ and possibly $n =\infty$ is an index set with $x_1=0$, $x_2=s>0$ and $x_m>x_{m-1}$ for $m,m-1 \i …

Asymptotics for oscillatory integral

Consider the following integral for $f \in C_c^{\infty}(\mathbb R^n)$, $x_0$ fixed (possibly zero), and $n \ge 3$ $$F(\lambda) = \int_{\mathbb R^n} e^{i\lambda \vert x-x_0 \vert^2} \frac{f(x)}{\vert x …

Growth rate of elementary sequences

We consider three sequences $(x_n),(y_n),(z_n)$, where $(x_n) \in \ell^1$ is positive and the other two sequences are merely assumed to be positive, i.e. $y_n,z_n \ge 0$ where $0<z_n<z_{n+1}$ is stric …

Periodicity in one Fourier variable

Let $f:[0,1]\times [0,1] \to \mathbb C$ be a double periodic function (periodic in both variables) that depends real-analytically on its argument. We can thus write $f$ as $$ f(x) = \sum_{n \in \mathb …

Topological degree of differentiable map using line integrals?

Let $f:\mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb C$ be a $C^1$ function that vanishes at a point $x_0.$ I can then define $$-i \int_{\gamma_\varepsilon} \nabla \log(f(s)) \cdot ds := - i \int_0^1 \nabla (\log f)(\gamma …

Singular integral bounded by Dirichlet form?

We define for some fixed $L$ $$\Omega:=\{(x_1,x_2) \in ([-L,L]^2 \times [-L,L]^2) \setminus \{x_1=x_2\}\},$$ in particular $x_1,x_2 \in \mathbb R^2.$ Let $f \in C_c^{\infty}(\Omega)$, then I am wonde …

Double-periodic functions with (possible) poles

Consider the set of double-periodic function $f:\mathbb C/(\mathbb Z+i \mathbb Z) \setminus \{z_0\} \to \mathbb C$, where $z_0$ is a fixed point inside $\mathbb C/(\mathbb Z+i \mathbb Z),$ that have a …
