Extract

The theory of translation-invariant operators on various spaces of functions (or measures or distributions) is a well-trodden field. The problem is to decide, first, whether or not a linear operator between two function spaces on, say, ℝ or ℝ+ which commutes with one or many translations on the two spaces is necessarily continuous, and, second, to give a canonical form for all such continuous operators. In some cases each such operator is zero. The second problem is essentially the ‘multiplier problem’, and it has been extensively discussed; see [7], for example.
