Characterization of surjective partial differential operators on spaces of real analytic functions
Let A(Ω) denote the real analytic functions defined on an open set Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ. We show that a partial differential operator P(D) with constant coefficients is surjective on A(Ω) if and only if for any relatively compact open ω ⊂ Ω, P(D) admits (shifted) hyperfunction elementary solutions on Ω which are real analytic on ω (and if the equation P(D)f = g, g ∈ A(Ω), may be solved on ω). The latter condition is redundant if the elementary solutions are defined on conv(Ω). This extends and improves previous...
