Sobolev coefficients (eq 3.9): a_j = j^β for even j, (j-1)^β for odd j
Instances For
Sobolev coefficient is nonneg for β ≥ 0
a_1 = 0 for β ≠ 0 (since j=1 is odd, (1-1)^β = 0^β = 0)
Sobolev ellipsoid is nonempty (contains zero)
Definition 3.10 (Sobolev class W(β, L)). Fix β ∈ {1, 2, ...} and L > 0. The Sobolev class W(β, L) is the set of functions f : [0,1] → ℝ (modeled as f : ℝ → ℝ restricted to [0,1]) such that: • f ∈ L₂([0,1]), • f^(β-1) is absolutely continuous on [0,1], • ∫₀¹ (f^(β)(x))² dx ≤ L², • f^(j)(0) = f^(j)(1) for j = 0, ..., β-1 (periodic boundary conditions).
Instances For
Fourier coefficients of the j-th derivative of f with respect to the trigonometric basis: s_k(j) = ∫₀¹ f^(j)(t) φ_k(t) dt. When j = 0 this gives the ordinary Fourier coefficients θ_k = s_k(0). (Book line 2307: "the Fourier coefficients {s_k(j)}_{k≥1}")
