The Eigenfunctions of the Hilbert Matrix

Aleman, Alexandru LU ; Montes-Rodriguez, Alfonso and Sarafoleanu, Andreea (2012) In Constructive Approximation 36(3). p.353-374
Abstract
For each noninteger complex number lambda, the Hilbert matrix H-lambda = (1/n+m+lambda)(n,m >= 0) defines a bounded linear operator on the Hardy spaces H-p, 1 < p < a, and on the Korenblum spaces , A(-tau), tau > 0. In this work, we determine the point spectrum with multiplicities of the Hilbert matrix acting on these spaces. This extends to complex lambda results by Hill and Rosenblum for real lambda. We also provide a closed formula for the eigenfunctions. They are in fact closely related to the associated Legendre functions of the first kind. The results will be achieved through the analysis of certain differential operators in the commutator of the Hilbert matrix.
