An introduction to Krein strings

- Abstract
- Krein strings appear in the study of the motion of a vibrating string where an irregular density is allowed. This thesis presents the theory from the perspective of integral equations and operator theory. It will be shown that each Krein string gives rise to a unique Stieltjes function, by utilizing the compactness of the resolvent operators for short strings and then approximating any long string with a sequence of short strings. The converse is also true: each Stieltjes function gives rise to a unique Krein string and this bijection is called Krein's correspondence. The existence part is proved by constructing Krein strings for a special class of Stieltjes functions. Then, an arbitrary Stieltjes function can be approximated by this class... (More)

- I den klassiska modellen för en endimensionell vibrerande sträng antas massan vara likformigt fördelad, vilket leder till den ordinära differentialekvationen f''= zg f, där densiteten g är konstant. Kreins strängteori handlar om samma ekvation, men massfördelningen tillåts variera. Denna teori används även för att lösa problemet att förutsäga framtiden med hjälp av information från en ändlig del -2T < t < 0 av dåtiden för endimensionella stokastiska normalprocesser med väntevärde 0. Detta arbete ger en behandling av Kreins strängteori, med fokus på Kreins korrespondens -- problemet där spektraldata är givna i form av en så kallad Stieltjesfunktion och vi vill veta så mycket som möjligt om strängen som funktionen kommer från.
