Computer assisted Fourier analysis in sequence spaces of varying regularity

Jean-Philippe Lessard and Jason D. Mireles James

This work treats a functional analytic framework for computer assisted Fourier analysis  which can be used to obtain mathematically rigorous error bounds on numerical approximations of solutions of differential equations. An abstract a-posteriori theorem is employed in order to obtain existence and regularity results for CkC^k problems with 0<k=0 < k= \infty or k=ωk= \omega. The main tools are certain infinite sequence spaces of rapidly decaying coefficients: we employ sequence spaces of algebraic and exponential decay rates in order to characterize the regularity our results. We illustrate the implementation and effectiveness of the method in a variety of regularity classes. We also examine the effectiveness of spaces of algebraic decays for studying solutions of problems near the breakdown of analyticity.
