Definition and properties of the libera operator on mixed norm spaces.

We consider the action of the operator ℒg(z) = (1 - z)(-1)∫ z (1)‍f(ζ)dζ on a class of "mixed norm" spaces of analytic functions on the unit disk, X = H α,ν (p,q) , defined by the requirement g ∈ X ⇔ r ↦ (1 - r) (α) M p (r, g ((ν))) ∈ L (q) ([0,1], dr/(1 - r)), where 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, 0 < q ≤ ∞, α > 0, and ν is a nonnegative integer. This class contains Besov spaces, weighted Bergman spaces, Dirichlet type spaces, Hardy-Sobolev spaces, and so forth. The expression ℒg need not be defined for g analytic in the unit disk, even for g ∈ X. A sufficient, but not necessary, condition is that Σ(n=0)|(∞)|ĝ(n)/(n + 1) < ∞. We identify the indices p, q, α, and ν for which 1°ℒ is well defined on X, 2 °ℒ acts from X to X, 3° the implication g ∈ X [Symbol: see text] Σ(n = 0)(∞) |/ĝ(n)|(n+1) < ∞ holds. Assertion 2° extends some known results, due to Siskakis and others, and contains some new ones. As an application of 3° we have a generalization of Bernstein's theorem on absolute convergence of power series that belong to a Hölder class.
