Description
Summary:Let g ˆ ( ξ ) = a e i α ξ + b + c e − i β ξ with α , β ∈ ] 0 , 1 [ such that α + β < 1 , α β −1 ∉ Q and a , b , c ∈ C ∖ { 0 } . In this paper the existence of almost-periodic polynomial (APP) solutions to the equation g ˆ h + = E l + + l − (with h + ∈ H ∞ + ∩ E H ∞ − and l ± ∈ H ∞ ± ) is studied. The natural space in which to seek a solution to the above problem is the space of almost periodic functions with spectrum in the group α Z + β Z + Z . Due to the difficulty in dealing with the problem in that generality, solutions are sought with spectrum in the group α Z + β Z . Several interesting and totally new results are obtained. It is shown that, if 1 ∉ α Z + β Z , no polynomial solutions exist, i.e., almost periodic polynomial solutions exist only if α Z + β Z = α Z + β Z + Z . Keeping to this setting, it is shown that APP solutions exist if and only if the function g ˆ satisfies the simple spectral condition α + β > 1 / 2 . The proof of this result is nontrivial and has a number-theoretic flavour. Explicit formulas for the solution to the above problem are given in the final section of the paper. The derivation of these formulas is to some extent a byproduct of the proof of the result on the existence of APP solutions.
