If g ∈ L 2 ( [ 0 , 2 π ] ) let g ˆ be the sequence of Fourier coefficients of g , let D denote differentiation and let I denote the identity operator. Given α , β ∈ Z , we consider the operator D 2 − i ( α + β ) D − α β I on the second order Sobolev space of L 2 ( [ 0 , 2 π ] ) . The multiplier of this operator is − ( n − α ) ( n − β ) considered as a function of n ∈ Z , so that g ˆ ( α ) = g ˆ ( β ) = 0 for any function g in the range of the operator. Let δ x denote the Dirac measure at x , and let ⁎ denote convolution. If b ∈ [ 0 , 2 π ] let λ b be the measure 2 − 1 [ ( e i b ( α − β 2 ) + e − i b ( α − β 2 ) ] δ 0 − 2 − 1 [ ( e i b ( α + β 2 ) δ b + e − i b ( α + β 2 ) δ − b ] . A function of the form λ b ⁎ f is called a generalised difference , and we let F be the family of functions h such that h is a sum of five generalised differences. It is shown that for g ∈ L 2 ( [ 0 , 2 π ] ) , g ∈ F if and only if g ˆ ( α ) = g ˆ ( β ) = 0 . Consequently, F is a Hilbert subspace of L 2 ( [ 0 , 2 π ] ) and it is the range of D 2 − i ( α + β ) D − α β I . The methods use partitions of intervals and estimates of integrals in Euclidean space. There are applications to the automatic continuity of linear forms in abstract harmonic analysis.
