ABSTRACT

We present a direct proof of a known result that the Hardy operator Hf(x) = 1  integral xf(t)dt
        x 0  in the space L2 = L2(0, oo )  can be written as H = I- U  , where U  is a shift operator (Uen = en+1  , n  (- Z)  for some orthonormal basis {en} . The basis {en} is constructed by using classical Laguerre polynomials. We also explain connections with the Euler differential equation of the first order y'- 1xy = g  and point out some generalizations to the case with weighted L2w(a,b)  spaces.

Key words: Hardy inequality, Hardy operator, Laguerre polynomials, isometry, Lebesgue spaces, basis in L2  space, weighted L2w(a,b)  spaces.
