Abstract

In \tccheck{1997}, Haruki and Rassias introduced two generalizations of the Poisson kernel in two dimensions and discussed integral formulas for them. Furthermore, they presented an open problem. In \tccheck{1999}, Kim gave a solution to that problem. Here, we give a solution to this open problem by means of a different method. The purpose of this paper is to give integral averages of two generalizations of the Poisson kernel, that is, we generalize the open problem.

1. Introduction

It is well known that the Poisson kernel in two dimensions is defined by𝑃(𝑟,𝜃)def=1𝑟21𝑟𝑒𝑖𝜃1𝑟𝑒𝑖𝜃,(1.1)and the integral formula12𝜋02𝜋𝑃(𝑟,𝜃)𝑑𝜃=1(1.2)holds. Here 𝑟 is a real parameter satisfying |𝑟|<1.

In [1], Haruki and Rassias introduced two generalizations of the Poisson kernel.

The first generalization is defined by𝑄(𝜃;𝑎,𝑏)def=1𝑎𝑏1𝑎𝑒𝑖𝜃1𝑏𝑒𝑖𝜃,(1.3)where 𝑎, 𝑏 are complex parameters satisfying |𝑎|<1 and |𝑏|<1.

The second generalization is defined by𝑅(𝜃;𝑎,𝑏,𝑐,𝑑)=𝐿(𝑎,𝑏,𝑐,𝑑)1𝑎𝑒𝑖𝜃1𝑏𝑒𝑖𝜃1𝑐𝑒𝑖𝜃1𝑑𝑒𝑖𝜃,(1.4)where 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐, 𝑑 are complex parameters satisfying |𝑎|<1, |𝑏|<1, |𝑐|<1, and |𝑑|<1 as well as𝐿(𝑎,𝑏,𝑐,𝑑)def=(1𝑎𝑏)(1𝑎𝑑)(1𝑏𝑐)(1𝑐𝑑)1𝑎𝑏𝑐𝑑.(1.5)

Then they proved the integral formulas12𝜋02𝜋1𝑄(𝜃;𝑎,𝑏)𝑑𝜃=1,(1.6)2𝜋02𝜋𝑅(𝜃;𝑎,𝑏,𝑐,𝑑)𝑑𝜃=1.(1.7)𝑐=𝑎

Remark 1.1. If we set 𝑑=𝑏 and 12𝜋02𝜋𝑄(𝜃;𝑎,𝑏)2𝑑𝜃=1+𝑎𝑏1𝑎𝑏.(1.8) in (1.7), then we obtain𝑛=0,1,2,
Afterwards, they set the following definition and open problem.
For 𝐼𝑛def=12𝜋02𝜋𝑄(𝜃;𝑎,𝑏)𝑛+1𝑑𝜃,(1.9), let𝑎where 𝑏, |𝑎|<1 are complex parameters satisfying |𝑏|<1 and 𝐼𝑛.

Open Problem 1.2. Compute 𝑛=2,3,4,. for 𝐼𝑛=𝑛𝑘=0(𝑛+𝑘)!(𝑛𝑘)!(𝑘!)2𝑎𝑏1𝑎𝑏𝑘,(2.1)
In [2], Kim gave a solution to this open problem using the Laurent series expansion.

In the next section, we give a solution to the open problem by means of the Leibniz rule.

2. A Different Solution of the Open Problem

Theorem 2.1. It holds that 𝐼𝑛where 𝐼𝑛=12𝜋02𝜋(1𝑎𝑏1𝑎𝑒𝑖𝜃1𝑏𝑒𝑖𝜃)𝑛+11𝑑𝜃=2𝜋02𝜋(1𝑎𝑏)/1𝑎𝑒𝑖𝜃𝑛+11𝑏𝑒𝑖𝜃𝑛+1𝑑𝜃.(2.2) is defined by (1.9). Proof. We have𝑧=𝑒𝑖𝜃By the change of variables 𝑓(𝑧)def=1𝑎𝑏1𝑎𝑧𝑛+1𝑧𝑛,(2.3) and setting𝐼𝑛=1||2𝜋𝑖𝑧||=1𝑓(𝑧)(𝑧𝑏)𝑛+1𝑑𝑧,(2.4)we have𝑓(𝑧)where the complex integral of the function |𝑧|=1 along the unit circle 𝑓(𝑧) is in the positive direction.
Since |𝑧|1 is an analytic function in 𝐼𝑛=𝑓(𝑛)(𝑏)𝑛!.(2.5), by Cauchy's integral formula for the derivative, we obtain𝑓(𝑛)(𝑧)So we must calculate 𝑔(𝑧)def=𝑧𝑛,(𝑧)def=(1𝑎𝑧)(𝑛+1).(2.6). For this purpose, we will use the Leibniz rule (generalized product rule).
Let𝑓(𝑧)=(1𝑎𝑏)𝑛+1𝑔(𝑧)(𝑧).(2.7)Thus by (2.3) and (2.6), we have𝑓(𝑛)(𝑧)=(1𝑎𝑏)𝑛+1(𝑔)(𝑛)(𝑧)=(1𝑎𝑏)𝑛𝑛+1𝑘=0𝑛𝑘𝑔(𝑛𝑘)(𝑧)(𝑘)(𝑧)=𝑛!(1𝑎𝑏)𝑛𝑛+1𝑘=0(𝑛+𝑘)!(𝑛𝑘)!(𝑘!)2(𝑎𝑧)𝑘(1𝑎𝑧)(𝑛+𝑘+1),(2.8)Applying the Leibniz rule to (2.7), we get𝑔(𝑛𝑘)(𝑧)=𝑛!𝑧𝑘!𝑘,(𝑘)(𝑧)=𝑎𝑘(𝑛+𝑘)!𝑛!(1𝑎𝑧)(𝑛+𝑘+1).(2.9) where𝑧=𝑏If we take 𝑓(𝑛)(𝑏)=𝑛!𝑛𝑘=0(𝑛+𝑘)!(𝑛𝑘)!(𝑘!)2𝑎𝑏1𝑎𝑏𝑘.(2.10) in (2.8), we obtain12𝜋02𝜋𝑃𝑛+1(𝑟,𝜃)𝑑𝜃(3.1)Thus by (2.5) and (2.10), we get the desired result.

3. New Generalizations of the Open Problem

In [3], the authors gave the values of the integral𝑛>1for all real 𝐼𝑛.

In this section, we will generalize 𝑢, and hence above integral as follows.

Theorem 3.1 Main theorem. For any real number  𝐽𝑢1=2𝜋02𝜋𝑄𝜃;𝑎,𝑏𝑢𝑑𝜃=(1𝑎𝑏)𝑢2𝐹1𝑢,𝑢;1;𝑎𝑏,(3.2), it holds that 2𝐹1where  𝑢 is the usual hypergeometric function.Proof. Let 𝑢𝑘=Γ(𝑢+𝑘)Γ(𝑢)𝑢𝑛,𝑛=0,1,2,,(3.3) be any real number. Define the shifted factorial (or the Pochhammer symbol) byΓwhere 𝑢=𝑛 is the gamma function. If (𝑛)𝑘=(𝑛)(𝑛+1)(𝑛+𝑘1) is a nonpositive integer, define (𝑛)𝑘=0 so that 𝑘=𝑛+1,𝑛+2,. for 11𝑤𝑢=𝑘=0𝑢𝑘𝑤𝑘!𝑘||𝑤||<1.(3.4) Then𝑧=𝑒𝑖𝜃 For 𝐽𝑢=12𝜋02𝜋𝑄𝜃;𝑎,𝑏𝑢1𝑑𝜃=2𝜋02𝜋1𝑎𝑏𝑢1𝑎𝑒𝑖𝜃𝑢1𝑏𝑒𝑖𝜃𝑢=𝑑𝜃1𝑎𝑏𝑢||2𝜋𝑖𝑧||=1𝑑𝑧𝑧1𝑎𝑧𝑢1𝑏/𝑧𝑢=1𝑎𝑏𝑢||2𝜋𝑖𝑧||=11𝑧(𝑘=0𝑢𝑘𝑎𝑘!𝑘𝑧𝑘)(𝑙=0𝑢𝑙𝑏𝑙!𝑙𝑧𝑙)𝑑𝑧.(3.5), one computes that𝑘𝑙The integral of the terms with 0 is 𝐽𝑢=1𝑎𝑏𝑢𝑘=0𝑢𝑘𝑢𝑘1𝑘𝑘!𝑎𝑏𝑘=(1𝑎𝑏)𝑢2𝐹1𝑢,𝑢;1;𝑎𝑏,(3.6) by residue theorem, and thus2𝐹1where 𝐽1=1,𝐽2=1+𝑎𝑏1𝑎𝑏,(3.7) is the usual hypergeometric function.

It is routine to check that𝑛=0,1,2,as obtained in [1] because, then, the series above is summable via elementary functions. Also for 𝐽𝑛=1𝑎𝑏𝑛𝑘=0𝑘𝑛1+𝑘2𝑎𝑏𝑘,𝐽𝑛=11𝑎𝑏𝑛𝑛𝑘=0𝑛𝑘2𝑎𝑏𝑘.(3.8), one has𝑎=𝑏=𝑟

Moreover, setting 𝑢 generalizes the results of [3] to all real powers 𝐾𝑢1=2𝜋02𝜋𝑅𝜃;𝑎,𝑏,𝑐,𝑑𝑢𝑑𝜃=𝐿𝑎,𝑏,𝑐,𝑑𝑢𝑗+𝑙=𝑘+𝑚𝑢𝑗𝑢𝑘𝑢𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑎𝑗!𝑘!𝑙!𝑚!𝑗𝑏𝑘𝑐𝑙𝑑𝑚.(3.9) of the Poisson kernel.

The same method applied to the integral averages of the second generalization of the Poisson kernel yields𝐷𝑢

There is a further connection with the fractional-order derivative in [3] which is called 𝑢 here for any real number 𝑝. If 𝑚=𝑝 is also any real number, let 𝑝 be the least integer greater than or equal to 𝑠=𝑡/𝑥. Then one can compute with 𝐷𝑢𝑥𝑝=𝑑𝑚𝑑𝑥𝑚1Γ𝑚𝑢𝑥0𝑥𝑡𝑚𝑢1𝑡𝑝=𝑑𝑑𝑡𝑚𝑑𝑥𝑚𝑥𝑚𝑢+𝑝Γ𝑚𝑢101𝑠𝑚𝑢1𝑠𝑝=𝑑𝑑𝑠𝑚𝑑𝑥𝑚𝑥𝑚𝑢+𝑝ΓB=𝑑𝑚𝑢𝑚𝑢,𝑝+1𝑚𝑑𝑥𝑚Γ𝑝+1Γ𝑥𝑚𝑢+𝑝+1𝑚𝑢+𝑝=𝑥𝑝𝑢𝑝+1𝑢,(3.10) that𝑢which agrees with the usual derivative when 𝑢𝑝+1,𝑝+2, is a positive integer, where B is the beta function, 𝑝0,1,2,., and 𝑢0,1,2,

If 1Γ𝑢2𝐷𝑢1𝑥𝑢1𝐷𝑢1𝑥𝑢1=11𝑥Γ𝑢2𝐷𝑢1(𝑥𝑢1𝐷𝑢1(𝑘=0𝑥𝑘+𝑢1))=𝑘=0𝑢2𝑘𝑘!2𝑥𝑘(3.11), then𝐽𝑢=1𝑥𝑢Γ𝑢2𝐷𝑢1𝑥𝑢1𝐷𝑢1𝑥𝑢1|||1𝑥𝑥=𝑎𝑏.(3.12)by successively applying the above fractional differentiation formula. Thus
