Abstract

Let E1 be the linear space of n-dimensional functions which are defined on R × Rn and satisfy the following conditions: Every function F(t, x) ∊ E1 has a compact support and is continuously differentiable with respect to x for a fixed t ∊ R. For a fixed x, the (vector and matrix-valued) functions

$$F(t,x),\quad \frac{{\partial F(t,x)}} {{\partial x}} = {F_x}(t,x)$$

are measurable in t, and there exists a majorant m F (t) of |F(t, x)| + |F x (t, x)| which is summable on JR,

$$\mid F(t, x)\mid + \mid {F_x}(t, x)\mid \leqslant {m_F}(t)\quad \forall (t,x) \in R*{R^n},\quad \int\limits_R {{m_F}} (t)dt < \infty$$
