A formula for the solution of a differential-difference equation is given, and then the corresponding semigroup theory is developed, with a detailed description of the infinitesimal generator and some of its spectral properties.Results in
It is shown that any \(\mu \in \mathbb{C}\) is an infinite multiplicity eigenvalue of the Steklov smoothing operator \(S_h\) acting on the space \(L^1_{loc}(\mathbb{R})\). For \(\mu \neq 0\) the eigenvalue-eigenfunction problem leads to studying a differential-difference equation of mixed type. An existence and uniqueness theorem is proved for this equation. Further a transformation group is defined on a countably normed space of initial functions and the spectrum of the generator of this group is studied. Some possible generalizations are pointed out
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
