Orthogonal projections in the local Dirichlet spaces

Complex Variables 2026-01-06 v1

Abstract

We present an explicit formula for the orthogonal projection onto the subspace of analytic polynomials of degree at most nn in the local Dirichlet space DμD_\mu , where the positive measure μ\mu consists of a finite number of Dirac measures located at points on the unit circle T\mathbb T. This result has two key aspects: first, while it is known that polynomials are dense in DμD_\mu , this approach offers a concrete linear approximation scheme within the space. Second, due to the orthogonality of the polynomials involved, the scheme is qualitative, as the distance of an arbitrary function fDμf\in D_\mu to the projected subspace is explicitly determined.
