Abstract

The spectral analysis of operators in heterogeneous and aging media typically requires a functional framework that extends beyond the standard Hilbertian setting. In this paper, we establish a rigorous distributional theory for a class of non-local operators, termed Weighted Weyl-Sonine operators, by employing a structure-preserving transmutation method. We construct the Weighted Schwartz Space Sψ,ω\mathcal{S}_{\psi,\omega} and its topological dual, the space of Weighted Tempered Distributions Sψ,ω\mathcal{S}'_{\psi,\omega}, ensuring that the underlying Fr\'echet topology is consistent with the infinitesimal generator of the aging dynamics. This topological foundation allows us to: (i) extend the Weighted Fourier Transform to generalized functions as a unitary isomorphism; (ii) provide an explicit spectral characterization of the weighted Dirac delta δψ,ω\delta_{\psi,\omega} and its scaling laws under geometric dilations; and (iii) introduce a scale of Weighted Sobolev Spaces Hψ,ωsH^{s}_{\psi,\omega} defined via spectral multipliers. A central result is the derivation of a sharp embedding theorem, u(t)Cω(t)1uHψ,ωs|u(t)| \le C \omega(t)^{-1} \|u\|_{H^s_{\psi,\omega}}, which rigorously connects abstract spectral energy to the pointwise decay induced by the weight ω\omega. This framework provides a unified geometric characterization of several fractional regimes, including the Hadamard and Riemann-Liouville cases, within a single operator-theoretic architecture.
