Abstract
In this work, a regularized trace formula for a differential operator of fourth order with bounded operator coefficient is found.
1 Introduction
Investigations into the regularized trace formulas of scalar differential operators started with the work [1] firstly. After that work, regularized trace formulas for several differential operators have been studied in some works as [2, 3] and [4]. In [5] a formula for the second regularized trace of the problem generated by a Sturm-Liouville operator equation with a spectral parameter dependent boundary condition is found. The list of the works on this subject is given in [6] and [7]. The trace formulas for differential operators with operator coefficient are investigated in the works [8–13] and [14]. The boundary conditions in our work are completely different from those in [9].
In this work, we find the following regularized trace formula for a self-adjoint differential operator L of fourth order with bounded operator coefficient:
Here \(\{\lambda_{mn}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}\) are the eigenvalues of the operator L which belong to the interval \([(m+\frac{1}{2})^{4}-\|Q\|,(m+\frac{1}{2})^{4}+\|Q\|]\).
1.1 Notation and preliminaries
Let H be a separable Hilbert space with infinite dimension. Let us consider the operators \(L_{0}\) and L in the Hilbert space \(H_{1}=L_{2}(0,\pi; H) \) which are formed by the following differential expressions:
with the same boundary conditions \(y(0)=y^{\prime\prime}(0)=y^{\prime}(\pi)=y^{\prime\prime\prime}(\pi)=0\). Suppose that the operator function \(Q(x) \) in the expression \(\ell(y)\) satisfies the following conditions:
-
(Q1)
\(Q(x):H \rightarrow H \) is a self-adjoint kernel operator for every \(x\in[0,\pi] \). Moreover, \(Q(x)\) has second order weak derivative in this interval and \(Q^{(i)}(x):H \rightarrow H \) (\(i=1,2\)) are self-adjoint kernel operators for every \(x\in[0,\pi] \).
-
(Q2)
\(\|Q\|<\frac{5}{2}\).
-
(Q3)
There is an orthonormal basis \(\{\varphi_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}\) of the space H such that
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\bigl\| Q(x)\varphi_{n} \bigr\| < \infty. $$ -
(Q4)
The functions \(\|Q^{(i)}(x)\|_{\sigma_{1}(H)}\) are bounded and measurable in the interval \([0,\pi]\) (\(i=0,1,2\)).
Here \(\sigma_{1}(H)\) is the space of kernel operators from H to H as in [15]. Moreover, we denote the norms by \(\|\cdot\|_{H}\) and \(\|\cdot\|\) and inner products by \((\cdot,\cdot)_{H}\) and \((\cdot,\cdot)\) in H and \(H_{1}\), respectively, and we also denote the sum of eigenvalues of a kernel operator A by \(\operatorname{tr}A=\operatorname{trace}A\).
Spectrum of the operator \(L_{0}\) is the set
Every point of this set is an eigenvalue of \(L_{0}\) which has infinite multiplicity. The orthonormal eigenfunctions corresponding to eigenvalue \((m+\frac{1}{2})^{4}\) are in the form
2 Some relations between spectrums of operators \(L_{0}\) and L
Let \(R_{\lambda}^{0}\), \(R_{\lambda}\) be resolvents of the operators \(L_{0}\) and L, respectively. If the operator \(Q:H_{1} \rightarrow H _{1} \) satisfies conditions (Q2) and (Q3), the following can be proved:
-
(a)
\(QR_{\lambda}^{0} \in\sigma_{1}(H_{1})\) for every \(\lambda\notin\sigma(L_{0})\).
-
(b)
Spectrum of the operator L is a subset of the union of pairwise disjoint intervals
$$F_{m}=\biggl[\biggl(m+\frac{1}{2}\biggr)^{4}-\|Q\|, \biggl(m+\frac{1}{2}\biggr)^{4}+\|Q\| \biggr] \quad(m=0,1,2, \ldots), \sigma(L)\subset\bigcup_{m=0}^{\infty}F_{m}. $$ -
(c)
Each point of the spectrum of L, different from \((m+\frac{1}{2})^{4}\) in \(F_{m}\) is an isolated eigenvalue which has finite multiplicity.
-
(d)
The series \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} [\lambda_{mn}-(m+\frac {1}{2})^{4} ]\) (\(m=0,1,2,\ldots\)) are absolutely convergent where \(\{\lambda_{mn}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}\) are eigenvalues of the operator L in the interval \(F_{m}\).
Let \(\rho(L) \) be resolvent set of the operator L; \(\rho(L)={ \mathbf{C}\backslash\sigma(L)}\). Since \(QR_{\lambda}^{0} \in\sigma_{1}(H_{1}) \) for every \(\lambda\in\rho(L)\), from the equation \(R_{\lambda}=R_{\lambda}^{0}-R_{\lambda}QR_{\lambda}^{0} \) we obtain \(R_{\lambda}-R_{\lambda}^{0}\in\sigma_{1}(H_{1}) \).
On the other hand, if we consider the series
are absolutely convergent then we have
for every \(\lambda\in\rho(L) \) [10]. If we multiply both sides of this equality with \(\frac{\lambda}{2\pi i}\) and integrate this equality over the circle \(|\lambda|=b_{p}=(p+1)^{4}\) (\(p\in\mathbf{N}\), \(p\geq1\)), then we find
If we consider the relations \(|\lambda_{mn}|< b_{p}\) (\(m=0,1,2,\ldots,p\)) and \(|\lambda_{mn}|> b_{p} \) (\(m=p+1, p+2,\ldots\)) for \(n=1,2,3,\ldots\) , then from (2.1) we get
Moreover, from the formula \(R_{\lambda}=R_{\lambda }^{0}-R_{\lambda}QR_{\lambda}^{0}\), we obtain the following equality:
If we put this equality into (2.2), we have
Here
Theorem 2.1
If the operator function \(Q(x) \) satisfies condition (Q3), then we have
Proof
It can be shown that the operator function \(QR_{\lambda}^{0} \) is analytic with respect to the norm in the space \(\sigma_{1}(H_{1}) \) in domain \(\rho(L_{0})=\mathbf{C}\setminus\sigma(L_{0}) \) and
Considering \((QR_{\lambda}^{0})'=(QR_{\lambda}^{0})^{2} \), we can write the formula (2.7) as
From (2.5) and (2.8), we obtain
From here, we find
It can be easily shown that
Therefore, we have
The integral on the right-hand side of the last equality can be written as
Let \(\varepsilon_{0} \) be a constant satisfying the condition \(0<\varepsilon_{0}<b_{p}-(p+\frac{1}{2})^{4}\). Consider the function \(\operatorname{tr}[\lambda(QR_{\lambda}^{0})^{j}] \) is analytic in simple connected domains
and
From (2.11) we obtain
From (2.9), (2.10) and (2.12) we find

3 The formula of the regularized trace of the operator L
In this section, we find a formula for the regularized trace of the operator L. According to Theorem 2.1,
Since \(\{\psi_{mn}\}_{m=0,n=1}^{\infty \infty}\) is an orthonormal basis of the space \(H_{1}\), from (3.1) we obtain
Considering \((m+\frac{1}{2})^{4}< b_{p}=(p+1)^{4}\) for \(m\leq p \) and \((m+\frac{1}{2})^{4}>b_{p}=(p+1)^{4}\) for \(m>p\), from formula (3.2)
is obtained.
If we consider the formula \(\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }(Q(x)\varphi_{n},\varphi_{n})_{H}=\operatorname{tr}Q(x)\), then we get
Lemma 3.1
If the operator function \(Q(x) \) satisfies conditions (Q2) and (Q3), then we have
over the circle \(|\lambda|=b_{p}\).
Proof
Since the operator function \(Q(x)\) satisfies conditions (Q2) and (Q3), we have
If we consider this relation, we get
for \(m\leq p\) and
for \(m\geq p+1\).
On the other hand, we can write
From (3.6), (3.7) and (3.8) we get
□
Lemma 3.2
If the operator function \(Q(x)\) satisfies condition (Q3), then we have
over the circle \(|\lambda|=b_{p}\).
Proof
Let us show that the series \(\sum_{m=0}^{\infty}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \|QR_{\lambda}^{0}\psi_{mn} \|\) is convergent.
For \(\lambda\notin\sigma(L_{0})\), we get
From this relation we obtain
On the other hand, since the sequence \(\{\psi_{mn}\} _{m=0,n=1}^{\infty \infty}\) is an orthonormal basis of the space \(H_{1}\), we get
[15]. From (3.9) and (3.10) we obtain
Furthermore, over the circle \(|\lambda|=b_{p}\) we get
It can be easily shown that
and
From (3.12), (3.13) and (3.14) we get
From (3.11) and (3.15) we obtain
□
Theorem 3.3
If the operator function \(Q(x)\) satisfies conditions (Q1), (Q2), (Q3), and (Q4), then we have the formula
Proof
By using Theorem 2.1, Lemma 3.1 and Lemma 3.2, we find
Here c is a positive constant.
By using formula (2.6), Lemma 3.1 and Lemma 3.2, we find
From (2.4) and (3.5) we obtain
From (3.18) and (3.19) we find
Moreover, using conditions (Q1) and (Q4), we get
From (3.20) and (3.21) we find
The theorem is proved. □
