Characterization of continuous endomorphisms in the space of entire functions of a given order

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to characterize continuous endomorphisms in the space of entire functions of exponential type of order $p>0$. Let $A_p$ denote the space of entire functions of $n$ complex variables $z\in{\mathbb C}^n$ of order $p$ of normal type. We consider an endomorphism $F$ in the space, which is considered to be a DFS-space. We show that there is a unique linear differential operator $P$ of infinite order with coefficients in the space which realizes $F$, that is, $Ff=Pf$ holds for any $f\in A_p$. The coefficients satisfy certain growth conditions and conversely, if a formal differential operator of infinite order with coefficients in $A_p$ satisfy these conditions, then it induces a continuous endomorphism.
