Abstract

In 1989, A. J. Duran [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 107 (1989), 731-741] showed, that for every complex sequence (sα)αN0n(s_\alpha)_{\alpha\in\mathbb{N}_0^n} there exists a Schwartz function fS(Rn,C)f\in\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{C}) with suppf[0,)n\mathrm{supp}\, f\subseteq [0,\infty)^n such that sα=xαf(x) dxs_\alpha = \int x^\alpha\cdot f(x)~\mathrm{d}x for all αN0n\alpha\in\mathbb{N}_0^n. It has been claimed to be a generalization of the result by T. Sherman [Rend. Circ. Mat. Palermo 13 (1964), 273-278], that every complex sequences is represented by a complex measure on [0,)n[0,\infty)^n. In the present work we use the convolution of sequences and measures to show, that Duran's result is a trivial consequence of Sherman's result. We use our easy proof to extend the Schwartz function result and to show the flexibility in choosing very specific functions ff.
