We introduce a multi-parameter family of bases in the Hilbert space L2(R) that are associated to a set of Hermite functions, which also serve as a basis for L2(R). The Hermite functions are eigenfunctions of the Fourier transform, a property that is, in some sense, shared by these “generalized Hermite functions”. The construction of these new bases is grounded on some symmetry properties of the real line under translations, dilations and reflexions as well as certain properties of the Fourier transform. We show how these generalized Hermite functions are transformed under the unitary representations of a series of groups, including the Weyl–Heisenberg group and some of their extensions.

In this article we give a new proof of the theorem that a positive even convex function on the real line, which vanishes at infinity, is the Fourier transform of an integrable function. Related results in several variables are also proved. As an application of our results we solve the factorization problem of Sobolev algebras.

1. Introduction. One of the basic objects of study in harmonic analysis is the Fourier transform (or Fourier-Stieltjes transform) μ of a bounded (complex) measure μ on the real line R:(1.1)More generally, if μ is a bounded measure on a locally compact abelian group G, then its Fourier transform is the function(1.2)where Ĝ is the dual group of G and One answer to the question “Which functions can be represented as Fourier transforms of bounded measures?” was given by the following criterion due to Schoenberg [11] for the real line and Eberlein [5] in general: f is a Fourier transform of a bounded measure if and only if there is a constant M such that(1.3)for all ϕ ∈ L1(G) where

Using normalized Hermite functions, we construct bases in the space of square integrable functions on the unit circle (L2(C)) and in l2(Z), which are related to each other by means of the Fourier transform and the discrete Fourier transform. These relations are unitary. The construction of orthonormal bases requires the use of the Gramm–Schmidt method. On both spaces, we have provided ladder operators with the same properties as the ladder operators for the one-dimensional quantum oscillator. These operators are linear combinations of some multiplication- and differentiation-like operators that, when applied to periodic functions, preserve periodicity. Finally, we have constructed riggings for both L2(C) and l2(Z), so that all the mentioned operators are continuous.

Let L and M be linear ordinary differential operators defined on an interval I, not necessarily bounded, of the real line. We wish to consider the expansion of arbitrary functions in eigenfunctions of the differential equation Lu = λMu on I. The case where M is the identity operator and L has a self-adjoint realization as an operator in the Hilbert space L 2(I) has been treated in various ways by several authors; an extensive bibliography may be found in (4) or (8).
