It has been proved recently that the two-direction refinement equation of the form $f\left(x\right)={\sum }_{n\in }{c}_{n,1}f(kx-n)+{\sum }_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}{c}_{n,-1}f(-kx-n)$ can be used in wavelet theory for constructing two-direction wavelets, biorthogonal wavelets, wavelet packages, wavelet frames and others. The two-direction refinement equation generalizes the classical refinement equation $f\left(x\right)={\sum }_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}cₙf(kx-n)$, which has been used in many areas of mathematics with important applications. The following continuous extension of the classical refinement equation $f\left(x\right)={\int }_{ℝ}c\left(y\right)f(kx-y)dy$ has also various interesting applications....

This Memoir studies Weil’s well-known Explicit Formula in the theory of prime numbers and its associated quadratic functional, which is positive semidefinite if and only if the Riemann Hypothesis is true. We prove that this quadratic functional attains its minimum in the unit ball of the $L^2$-space of functions with support in a given interval $\left[-t,t\right]$, and prove again Yoshida’s theorem that it is positive definite if $t$ is sufficiently small. The Fourier transform of the functional gives rise to a quadratic...

It is well known that the condition “f ∈ L¹ and f̂ ∈ L¹” is not sufficient to ensure the validity of the Poisson summation formula ∑f(k) = ∑f̂(k). We discuss here a stronger condition "$x^{a}f\in L^p$ and ${\xi }^{b}f̂\in L^q$" and see for which values of a and b the condition is sufficient.

Riemann’s memoir is devoted to the function π(x) defined as the number of prime numbers less or equal to the real and positive number x. This is really the fact, but the “main role” in it is played by the already mentioned zeta-function.

Elementary estimates for the Riesz kernel and for its derivative are given. Using these we show that the maximal operator of the Riesz means of a tempered distribution is bounded from $H_p\left(ℝ\right)$ to $L_p\left(ℝ\right)$ (1/(α+1) < p < ∞) and is of weak type (1,1), where $H_p\left(ℝ\right)$ is the classical Hardy space. As a consequence we deduce that the Riesz means of a function $⨍\in L_1\left(ℝ\right)$ converge a.e. to ⨍. Moreover, we prove that the Riesz means are uniformly bounded on $H_p\left(ℝ\right)$ whenever 1/(α+1) < p < ∞. Thus, in case $⨍\in H_p\left(ℝ\right)$, the Riesz means converge...

Given a set of positive measure on the circle and a set Λ of integers, one can ask whether $E\left(\Lambda \right):=e_{\lambda \in \Lambda }^{i\lambda t}$ is a Riesz sequence in L²(). We consider this question in connection with some arithmetic properties of the set Λ. Improving a result of Bownik and Speegle (2006), we construct a set such that E(Λ) is never a Riesz sequence if Λ contains an arithmetic progression of length N and step $\ell =O\left(N^{1-\epsilon }\right)$ with N arbitrarily large. On the other hand, we prove that every set admits a Riesz sequence E(Λ) such that Λ does contain...
