We show that the spaces E{ω}(Ω) of ultradifferentiable functions of Roumieu type satisfy the dual interpolation estimate for small theta, where ω is a quasianalytic weight function and Ω is an arbitrary open subset of Rd. This result was previously shown by Bonet and Doma\'nski [2] under the additional assumptions that Ω is convex and ω satisfies the condition (α1). In particular, our work solves Problem 9.7 in [1].

We show that the spaces E{ω}(Ω) of ultradifferentiable functions of Roumieu type satisfy the dual interpolation estimate for small theta, where ω is a quasianalytic weight function and Ω is an arbitrary open subset of Rd. This result was previously shown by Bonet and Domański [2] under the additional assumptions that Ω is convex and ω satisfies the condition (α1). In particular, our work solves Problem 9.7 in [1].

1. Introduction
In this article, we study the spaces E{ω}(Ω) of ultradifferentiable functions of Roumieu type, where ω is a quasianalytic weight function (in the sense of [4]). The linear topological properties of the space A(Ω) of real analytic functions have been thoroughly investigated and are by now well understood; see the introduction of [2] for an overview of known results. This is much less the case for the general spaces E{ω}(Ω) of quasianalytic functions. Our aim is to gain better insight into the locally convex structure of these spaces by showing that they satisfy an important linear topological invariant, the so-called dual interpolation estimate for small theta.
The dual interpolation estimates (for either small, big or all theta) are linear topological invariants for (PLS)-spaces that were introduced by Bonet and Domański in [2] (see also [1, 3]); we refer to Section 2 for the definition of these conditions. Roughly speaking, these conditions play a similar role for (PLS)-spaces as the conditions (DN), (Ω) and their variants do for Fréchet spaces. They are particularly important in the study of the parameter dependence of solutions of linear partial differential equations on the space of distributions [7, 3, 1, 12].
The following results are known about the dual interpolation estimates for E{ω}(Ω):
(i)
(Vogt) If ω is non-quasianalytic, the spaces E{ω}(Ω), with Ω⊆Rd arbitrary open, satisfy the dual interpolation estimate for small theta. This follows from the sequence space representation E{ω}(Ω)≅(Λ1′(α))N, where α=(ω(j1/d))j∈N.
(ii)
(Bonet-Domański) If ω is quasianalytic and satisfies the condition (α1), the spaces E{ω}(Ω), with Ω⊆Rd open and convex, satisfy the dual interpolation estimate for small theta [2, Thm. 2.1]; see Remark 6.2 for the meaning of (α1).
(iii)
(Bonet-Domański) The space A(Ω) , with Ω⊆Rd arbitrary open, satisfies the dual interpolation estimate for small theta [2, Cor. 2.2].
The main goal of this article is to improve (ii) by showing that the spaces E{ω}(Ω) satisfy the dual interpolation estimate for small theta, where Ω is an arbitrary open set and ω is a general quasianalytic weight function (not necessarily satisfying (α1)). This result may also be seen as a refinement of the fact that E{ω}(Ω) is ultrabornological; for Ω convex this was proven by Rösner [18], whereas for general open sets Ω this was only recently shown by Vindas and the author [5].
Bonet and Domański proved (ii) by viewing – via the Fourier-Laplace transform (Ω is convex!) – the dual of E{ω}(Ω) as a weighted (LF)-space of entire functions and then employing certain Prhagmén-Lindelöf principles; this method goes back to Rösner [18]. Our technique here is completely different and is inspired by Hörmander’s support theorem for quasianalytic functionals [10, 9] and (iii). We remark that, since the dual interpolation estimate for small theta is inherited by quotients, (iii) follows from the convex case via the following deep result [1, Lemma 6.5] (also due to Bonet and Domański): The space A(Ω) , with Ω⊆Rd arbitrary open, is a quotient of A(Rd+1). We are very much indebted to these authors as (iii) is indispensable for the present work.
The plan of the article is as follows. In the preliminary Sections 2 and 3 we introduce and collect some basic facts about (PLS)-spaces, the dual interpolation estimates and the spaces E{ω}(Ω). We define the Fréchet spaces of bounded infrahyperfunctions/ultradistributions of Roumieu type in Section 4 and show there that these spaces satisfy (DN). To this end, we use the short-time Fourier transform in the same spirit as in [6]. In Section 5, we present an improvement of Hörmander’s support theorem for quasianalytic functionals. Although both of these results serve here as tools, we believe that they are also interesting in their own right. Finally, in Section 6, we show that the spaces E{ω}(Ω) satisfy the dual interpolation estimate for small theta. Our proof is based on the results from the previous two sections and (iii).
2. (PLS)-spaces and the dual interpolation estimates
In this section, we introduce (PLS)-spaces and the dual interpolation estimates. We point out that our definition of these conditions is slightly different from, but equivalent to, the standard one. Namely, we first introduce a new family of conditions, which we call interpolation estimates, on inductive spectra of Fréchet spaces and, hereafter, use these conditions to define the dual interpolation estimates for (PLS)-spaces. As will be clear from Section 6, this approach is more convenient for our purposes.
Given a lcHs (= locally convex Hausdorff space) X, we write X′ for its topological dual. We always endow X′ with the strong topology.
An inductive spectrum (of lcHs) X=(XN,ιN+1N)N∈N consists of a sequence (XN)N∈N of lcHs and continuous linear spectral mappings ιN+1N:XN→XN+1. We set ιNN=idXN for N∈N and ιMN=ιMM−1∘⋯∘ιN+1N for M>N+1. Two inductive spectra X=(XN,ιN+1N)N∈N and Y=(YN,τN+1N)N∈N are said to be equivalent if there are increasing sequences (MN)N∈N and (KN)N∈N of natural numbers such that N≤MN≤KN≤MN+1 and continuous linear mappings TN:XMN→YKN and SN:YKN→XMN+1 such that SN∘TN=ιMN+1MN and TN+1∘SN=τKN+1KN for all N∈N.
Let X=(XN,ιN+1N)N∈N be an inductive spectrum of Fréchet spaces and let (∥⋅∥N,n)n∈N be a fundamental increasing sequence of seminorms for XN. We say that X satisfies the interpolation estimate for small theta if
[TABLE]
If “∃θ0∈(0,1)∀θ∈(0,θ0)” is replaced by “∃θ0∈(0,1)∀θ∈(θ0,1)” (“∀θ∈(0,1)”, respectively), then X is said to satisfy the interpolation estimate for big theta (for all theta, respectively). These definitions are clearly independent of the chosen sequences (∥⋅∥N,n)n∈N.
Remark 2.1*.*
Let X be a Fréchet space with a fundamental increasing sequence of seminorms (∥⋅∥n)n∈N. Recall [15] that X is said to satisfy (DN) if
[TABLE]
If “∃θ∈(0,1)” is replaced by ‘∀θ∈(0,1)”, then X is said to satisfy (DN). X satifies (DN) ((DN), respectively) if and only if the constant inductive spectrum (X,idX)N∈N satisfies the interpolation estimate for small theta (for big or, equivalently, for all theta, respectively).
In the next lemma, we collect several basic facts about the interpolation estimates.
Lemma 2.2**.**
Let X=(XN,ιN+1N)N∈N and Y=(YN,τN+1N)N∈N be two inductive spectra of Fréchet spaces.
(i)
If X and Y are equivalent, then X satisfies the interpolation estimate (for either small, big or all theta) if and only if Y does so.
(ii)
Suppose that, for each N∈N, there are linear topological embeddings TN:XN→YN such that TN+1∘ιN+1N=τN+1N∘TN. If Y satisfies the interpolation (for either small, big or all theta), then so does X.
(iii)
If both X and Y satisfy the interpolation estimate (for either small, big or all theta), then so does (XN×YN,ιN+1N×τN+1N)N∈N.
Proof.
The proofs are straightforward and left to the reader.
∎
The following result is a direct consequence of Lemma 2.2. It will be used in Section 6 to show our main result.
Lemma 2.3**.**
Let X=(XN,ιN+1N)N∈N, Y=(YN,τN+1N)N∈N and Z=(ZN,μN+1N)N∈N be three inductive spectra of Fréchet spaces. Suppose that, for each N∈N, there are linear continuous mappings TN:XN→YN and SN:XN→ZN with TN+1∘ιN+1N=τN+1N∘TN and SN+1∘ιN+1N=μN+1N∘SN such that
[TABLE]
is a topological embedding. If both Y and Z satisfy the interpolation (for either small, big or all theta), then so does X.
Next, we introduce (PLS)-spaces. A projective spectrum (of lcHs) X=(XN,ϱN+1N)N∈N consists of a sequence (XN)N∈N of lcHs and continuous linear spectral mappings ϱN+1N:XN+1→XN. We set ϱNN=idXN for N∈N and ϱMN=ϱN+1N∘⋯∘ϱMM−1 for M>N+1. We call X∗:=(XN′,(ϱN+1N)t)N∈N the dual inductive spectrum of X. Two projective spectra X=(XN,ϱN+1N)N∈N and Y=(YN,σN+1N)N∈N are said to be equivalent if there are increasing sequences (MN)N∈N and (KN)N∈N of natural numbers such that N≤MN≤KN≤MN+1 and continuous linear mappings TN:YKN→XMN and SN:XMN+1→YKN such that TN∘SN=ϱMN+1MN and SN∘TN+1=σKN+1KN for all N∈N. In such a case, the dual inductive spectra X∗ and Y∗ are also equivalent.
Given a projective spectrum X=(XN,ϱN+1N)N∈N, we define its projective limit as
[TABLE]
and endow this space with the projective limit topology, that is, the coarsest topology such that all the mappings ϱN:ProjX→XN:(xM)M∈N→xN, N∈N, are continuous. X is said to be reduced if the mapping ϱN has dense range for all N∈N. A lcHs X is said to be a (PLS)-space if there is a projective spectrum X of (DFS)-spaces such that X=ProjX. Every (PLS)-space can be written as the projective limit of a reduced projective spectrum of (DFS)-spaces.
Finally, a (PLS)-space X=ProjX, where X is a reduced projective spectrum of (DFS)-spaces, is said to satisfy the dual interpolation estimate for small theta (for big or all theta, respectively) if the dual inductive spectrum X∗ satisfies the interpolation estimate for small theta (for big or all theta, respectively). Since all reduced projective spectra of (DFS)-spaces generating X are equivalent [19, Cor. 5.3], these notions are well-defined by Lemma 2.2(i).
3. Spaces of ultradifferentiable functions and their duals
In this section, we introduce the spaces E{ω}(Ω) of ultradifferentiable functions of Roumieu type. Furthermore, we discuss the notion of support for the elements of their dual spaces.
By a weight function (cf. [4]) we mean a continuous increasing function ω:[0,∞)→[0,∞) with ω≡0 on [0,1] satisfying the following properties:
(α)
ω(2t)=O(ω(t)).
(β)
ω(t)=O(t).
(γ)
logt=o(ω(t)).
(δ)
ψ:[0,∞)→[0,∞), ψ(x):=ω(ex) is convex.
A weight function ω is called quasianalytic if
(QA)
∫0∞1+t2ω(t)dt=∞,
and non-quasianalytic otherwise. The Young conjugateψ∗ of ψ is defined as
[TABLE]
ψ∗ is convex and increasing, t=o(ψ∗(t)) and (ψ∗)∗=ψ. Moreover, the function y→ψ∗(y)/y is increasing on [0,∞).
Throughout this article, we fix a weight function ω, denote by ψ the function defined in (δ) and write ψ∗ for the Young conjugate of ψ. Unless specified, ω may be either quasianalytic or non-quasianalytic. Furthermore, we define the weight function ω1(t):=max{t−1,0}. Notice that
ψ1(x):=ω1(ex)=ex−1 and ψ1∗(y)=max{ylog(y/e)+1,0}.
We shall often use the following technical lemma.
Lemma 3.1**.**
[9, Lemma 2.6(b)]**
For all l,m,n∈Z+ there are k∈Z+ and C>0 such that
[TABLE]
Let Ω⊆Rd be open. We write K⊂compΩ to indicate that K is a compact subset of Ω, while Ω′⋐Ω means that Ω′ is a relatively compact open subset of Ω; the latter notation will only be used for open sets.
Let K⊂compRd be regular, that is, K∘=K. For n∈Z+ we write Eω,n(K) for the Banach space consisting of all φ∈C∞(K) such that
[TABLE]
We set
[TABLE]
E{ω}(K) is a (DFS)-space. Next, let Ω⊆Rd be open. Choose a sequence (KN)N∈N of regular compact subsets in Ω such that KN⊂compKN+1∘ for all N∈N and Ω=⋃N∈NKN. We define the space of *ultradifferentiable functions of class {ω} (of Roumieu type) in Ω * as
[TABLE]
This definition is clearly independent of the chosen sequence (KN)N∈N. E{ω}(Ω) is a (PLS)-space. ω is non-quasianalytic if and only if E{ω}(Ω) contains non-trivial compactly supported functions, as follows from the Denjoy-Carleman theorem. E{ω1}(Ω) coincides with the space A(Ω) of real analytic functions in Ω. Given another weight function σ with ω(t)=O(σ(t)), we have that E{σ}(Ω)⊆E{ω}(Ω) with continuous inclusion. In particular, it holds that A(Ω)⊆E{ω}(Ω) with continuous inclusion. We need the following density result.
Lemma 3.2**.**
[9, Cor. 3.3]**
Let Ω⊆Rd be open. The space C[z1,…,zd] of entire polynomials is dense in E{ω}(Ω).
The dual of E{ω}(Ω) is denoted by E{ω}′(Ω) and its elements are called quasianalytic functionals of class {ω} (of Roumieu type) in Ω if ω is quasianalytic and compactly supported ultradistributions of class {ω} (of Roumieu type) in Ω if ω is non-quasianalytic. The elements of A′(Ω)=E{ω1}′(Ω) are called analytic functionals in Ω. Let Ω⊆Ω′ be open and let σ be another weight function with ω(t)=O(σ(t)). Lemma 3.2 implies that the restriction mapping E{ω}′(Ω)→E{σ}′(Ω′):f→f∣E{σ}(Ω′) is injective. Hence, we may identify the elements of E{ω}′(Ω) with their image under this mapping. In particular, we may view E{ω}′(Ω) as a vector subspace of A′(Rd). A similar convention will be used for other dual spaces.
Next, we discuss the notion of support for elements f of E{ω}′(Rd). A compact subset K of Rd is said to be a {ω}-carrier off if f∈E{ω}′(Ω) for all Ω⊆Rd open with K⊂compΩ. More precisely, this means that, for all Ω⊆Rd open with K⊂compΩ, there is a (unique) fΩ∈E{ω}′(Ω) such that fΩ∣E{ω}(Rd)=f.
We denote by E{ω}′[K] the subspace of E{ω}′(Rd) consisting of all f such that K is a {ω}-carrrier of f. We endow E{ω}′[K] with the coarsest topology that makes all the mappings
E{ω}′[K]→E{ω}′(Ω):f→fΩ, Ω⊆Rd open with K⊂compΩ, continuous. E{ω}′[K] is a Fréchet space.
It is well-known that for every f∈A′(Rd)
there is a smallest compact set among the {ω1}-carriers of f, called the support off and denoted by suppA′f. This
essentially follows from the cohomology of the sheaf of germs of analytic functions [13, 16]. An elementary proof based on the properties of the Poisson
transform of analytic functionals is given in [11, Sect. 9.1]. See [14] for a proof by means of the heat kernel method. If ω is non-quasianalytic, the existence of cut-off functions in E{ω}(Rd) implies that there is a smallest compact set among the {ω}-carriers of f∈E{ω}′(Rd). Moreover, this set coincides with suppA′f. The corresponding result in the quasianalytic case, which is much more difficult to show, was proven by Hörmander [10] for quasianalytic functionals defined via weight sequences. Heinrich and Meise [9] showed the analogue statement in the weight function setting by adapting Hörmander’s proof. More precisely, the following result holds.
Theorem 3.3**.**
[9, Thm. 4.12]**
For every f∈E{ω}′(Rd) there is a smallest compact set among the {ω}-carriers of f and this set coincides with suppA′f.
4. Spaces of bounded infrahyperfunctions and ultradistributions
In this section, we define the Fréchet spaces B{ω}′(Rd) of bounded infrahyperfunctions/ultradistributions of Roumieu type and establish the mapping properties of the short-time Fourier transform on these spaces. Based upon this, we show two properties of B{ω}′(Rd) that will play an important role in the next two sections.
For n∈Z+ we write DL1,ω,n(Rd) for the Banach space consisting of all φ∈C∞(Rd) such that φ(α)∈L1(Rd) for all α∈Nd and
[TABLE]
We define
[TABLE]
DL1,{ω}(Rd) is an (LB)-space. Given another weight function σ with ω(t)=O(σ(t)), we have that DL1,{σ}(Rd)⊆DL1,{ω}(Rd) with continuous inclusion.
A standard argument shows that DL1,{ω}(Rd)⊂DL∞,{ω}(Rd) with continuous inclusion, where DL∞,{ω}(Rd) is defined in the obvious way. In particular, it holds that
DL1,{ω}(Rd)⊂E{ω}(Rd) with continuous inclusion. The dual of DL1,{ω}(Rd) is denoted by B{ω}′(Rd) and its elements are called bounded infrahyperfunctions of class {ω} (of Roumieu type) if ω is quasianalytic and bounded ultradistributions of class {ω} (of Roumieu type) if ω is non-quasianalytic.
Next, we define S(1)(1)(Rd) as the Fréchet space consisting of all φ∈C∞(Rd) such that
[TABLE]
The dual of S(1)(1)(Rd) is denoted by S(1)′(1)(Rd) and its elements are called Fourier ultrahyperfunctions. We need the following technical lemma.
Lemma 4.1**.**
The following dense continuous inclusions hold
[TABLE]
Consequently, we may consider
[TABLE]
Proof.
It suffices to show that S(1)(1)(Rd) is dense in DL1,{ω}(Rd) and that DL1,{ω1}(Rd) is dense in E{ω}(Rd). We start with the latter. Let φ∈E{ω}(Rd) be arbitrary. It is enough to prove that for every Ω⋐Rd there are n∈Z+ and a sequence (φj)j∈N⊂DL1,{ω1}(Rd) such that ∥φ−φj∥Eω,n(Ω)→0 as j→∞. Set Ej(x)=(j/π)d/2exp(−jx2) for j∈N and choose χ∈D(Rd) such that χ≡1 on a neighbourhood of Ω. In [9, Prop. 3.2], it is shown that there is n∈Z+ such that ∥φ−Ej∗(χφ)∥Eω,n(Ω)→0 as j→∞. The result now follows from the fact that Ej∗(χφ)∈DL1,{ω1}(Rd) for all j∈N. Next, we show that S(1)(1)(Rd) is dense in DL1,{ω}(Rd). Let φ∈DL1,{ω}(Rd) be arbitrary. Choose n∈Z+ such that φ∈DL1,ω,n(Rd). Let χ,θ∈S(1)(1)(Rd) be such that ∫Rdχ(x)dx=1 and θ(0)=1. Set χj(x)=jdχ(jx) and θj(x)=θ(x/j) for j∈Z+. We define φj=χj∗(θjφ)∈S(1)(1)(Rd) for j∈Z+. By Lemma 3.1 there are k∈Z+ and C>0 such that
[TABLE]
We claim that ∥φ−φj∥DL1,ω,k→0 as j→∞. Notice that
[TABLE]
We now show that each of these three terms tends to zero as j→∞. We start with the first one. Observe that for every ε>0 there is N∈N such that
[TABLE]
Hence, the result follows from the fact that ∥(1−θj)φ(α)∥L1→0 as j→∞ for all α∈Nd. Next, choose C′>0 such that
[TABLE]
The second term can be bounded as follows
[TABLE]
for all j∈Z+. Finally, we consider the third term. Notice that
[TABLE]
for all α∈Nd, i∈{1,…,d} and j∈Z+. Hence,
[TABLE]
for all j∈Z+.
∎
Next, we study the short-time Fourier transform on B{ω}′(Rd). We need some preparation. The translation and modulation operators are denoted by Txf(t)=f(t−x) and Mξf(t)=e2πiξtf(t),
x,ξ∈Rd, respectively. The short-time Fourier transform (STFT) of f∈L2(Rd) with respect to a window function χ∈L2(Rd) is defined as
[TABLE]
It holds that ∥Vχf∥L2(R2d)=∥χ∥L2∥f∥L2. In particular, the mapping Vχ:L2(Rd)→L2(R2d) is continuous. The adjoint of Vχ is given by the weak integral
[TABLE]
If χ=0 and γ∈L2(Rd) is a synthesis window for χ, that is, (γ,χ)L2=0, then
[TABLE]
We refer to [8] for further properties of the STFT. In [6, Sect. 2.3], the STFT is extended to the space S(1)′(1)(Rd). We briefly recall the main definitions and results from this work. The STFT of f∈S(1)′(1)(Rd) with respect to a window function χ∈S(1)(1)(Rd) is defined as
[TABLE]
Clearly, Vχf is continuous on R2d. We define the adjoint STFT of F∈S(1)′(1)(R2d) as
[TABLE]
Vχ∗F is well-defined because the mapping
Vχ:S(1)(1)(Rd)→S(1)(1)(R2d)
is continuous [6, Prop. 2.8].
are well-defined and continuous. Moreover, if γ∈S(1)(1)(Rd) is a synthesis window for χ, then
[TABLE]
We define Cb,{ω}(R2d) as the Fréchet space consisting of all F∈C(R2d) such that
[TABLE]
We are ready to establish the mapping properties of the STFT on B{ω}′(Rd).
Proposition 4.3**.**
Let χ∈S(1)(1)(Rd). The mappings
[TABLE]
are well-defined and continuous. Moreover, if γ∈S(1)(1)(Rd) is a synthesis window for χ, then
[TABLE]
Proof.
We start with Vχ. It suffices to show that for each n∈Z+ there are k∈Z+ and C>0 such that
[TABLE]
Condition (α) implies that there are m∈Z+ and C′>0 such that
[TABLE]
while Lemma 3.1 yields that there are l∈Z+ and C′′>0 such that
[TABLE]
Set k=max{nm,l}. Then,
[TABLE]
for all (x,ξ)∈R2d. Next, we consider Vχ∗. It suffices to show that Vχ∗(F)∈B{ω}′(Rd) for all F∈Cb,{ω}(R2d). Once this is established, the continuity of Vχ∗:Cb,{ω}(R2d)→B{ω}′(Rd) follows from the closed graph theorem and the continuity of Vχ∗:S(1)′(1)(R2d)→S(1)′(1)(Rd). We claim that for every n∈Z+ there are k∈Z+ and C>0 such that
[TABLE]
for all φ∈DL1,ω,n(Rd). This would imply that, for all F∈Cb,{ω}(R2d),
[TABLE]
defines an element of f∈B{ω}′(Rd). Since f∣S(1)(1)(Rd)=Vχ∗F, this shows that Vχ∗F∈B{ω}′(Rd).
We now prove the claim. Fix n∈Z+. By Lemma 3.1 there are k∈Z+ and C′>0 such that
[TABLE]
For ∣ξ∣≥1 and y≥0 it holds that
[TABLE]
Hence,
[TABLE]
For ∣ξ∣≤1 it holds that
[TABLE]
Finally, in view of Lemma 4.1, (4.2) follows directly from (4.1).
∎
We end this section by using Proposition 4.3 to show two important properties of B{ω}′(Rd).
Theorem 4.4**.**
The Fréchet space B{ω}′(Rd) satisfies (DN).
Proof.
A standard argument shows that Cb,{ω}(R2d) satisfies (DN). Proposition 4.3 implies that B{ω}′(Rd) is isomorphic to a closed (in fact, complementend) subspace of Cb,{ω}(R2d). The result now follows from the fact that (DN) is inherited by closed subspaces.
∎
Theorem 4.5**.**
For every f∈B{ω}′(Rd) there is a weight function σ with σ(t)=o(ω(t)) such that f∈B{σ}′(Rd), that is, there is g∈B{σ}′(Rd) such that g∣DL1,{ω}(Rd)=f.
Proof.
Let χ,γ∈S(1)(1)(Rd) be such that (γ,χ)L2=1. Proposition 4.3 yields that F=Vχf∈Cb,{ω}(R2d). Hence, the function
[TABLE]
satisfies h(t)=o(ω(t)). By [4, Lemma 1.7 and Remark 1.8(1)] there is a weight function σ satisfying σ(t)=o(ω(t)) and h(t)=o(σ(t)). The latter implies that F∈Cb,{σ}(R2d). Therefore, another application of Proposition 4.3 shows that g=Vγ∗F∈B{σ}′(Rd). Finally, by (4.2), we have that g∣DL1,{ω}(Rd)=f.
∎
5. Revisiting Hörmander’s support theorem
Theorem 3.3 implies that E{ω}′(Rd)∩A′[K]=E{ω}′[K] (in A′(Rd)) for all K⊂compRd. The goal of this section is to show the following generalization of this statement.
Theorem 5.1**.**
Let K⊂compRd. Then,
B{ω}′(Rd)∩A′[K]=E{ω}′[K] (in B{ω1}′(Rd)).
We closely follow Hörmander’s technique [10] to show Theorem 5.1. In fact, we only have to improve the first part of the proof of [10, Thm. 3.4] (cf. [9, Lemma 4.9]), but we repeat the whole argument for the sake of completeness. We need some preparation.
Let Ω⊆Rd be open. A bounded sequence (χp)p∈N⊂D(Ω) is called an analytic cut-off sequence supported in Ω if there is L>0 such that for all p∈N
[TABLE]
[11, Thm. 1.4.2] implies that, for all Ω′⋐Ω, there is an analytic cut-off sequence (χp)p∈N supported in Ω such that χp≡1 on Ω′ for all p∈N.
We fix the constants in the Fourier transform as follows
[TABLE]
Lemma 5.2**.**
Let Ω⋐Rd and let (χp)p∈N be an analytic cut-off sequence supported in Ω. For all n∈Z+ there are k∈Z+ and C,M>0 such that
[TABLE]
for all φ∈Eω,n(Ω), p∈N and β∈Nd.
Proof.
We first prove the case β=0. It holds that
[TABLE]
for all φ∈Eω,n(Ω) and p∈N.
The result now follows from condition (β) and Lemma 3.1. Next, we consider the general case β∈Nd. Let n∈Z+ be arbitrary. Lemma 3.1 implies that there are m∈Z+ and C′>0 such that
[TABLE]
for all φ1,φ2∈Eω,n(Ω). By the case β=0, there are k∈Z+ and C′′>0 such that
[TABLE]
for all θ∈Eω,m(Ω) and p∈N. Hence,
[TABLE]
for all φ∈Eω,n(Ω), p∈N and β∈Nd. The result now follows from the fact that there is M>0 such that ∥xβ∥Eω,n(Ω)≤M∣β∣ for all β∈Nd.
∎
For n∈Z+ we define Sω,n(Rd) as the Fréchet space consisting of all φ∈C∞(Rd) such that
[TABLE]
and
Sω,n(Rd) as the Fréchet space consisting of all φ∈C∞(Rd) such that

Lemma 5.3**.**
Let Ω⋐Rd, let (χp)p∈N be an analytic cut-off sequence supported in Ω and let (θj)j∈N⊂D(Rd) be such that
(i)
suppθ0⊆B(0,2)* and suppθj⊆{ξ∈Rd∣2j−1≤∣ξ∣≤2j+1} for j∈Z+.*
(ii)
supj∈Nmax∣α∣≤m∥θj(α)∥L∞=Rm<∞* for all m∈N.*
There are a sequence (pj)j∈N of natural numbers and k∈Z+ such that
[TABLE]
for all φ∈Eω,1(Ω). Moreover, this series converges in Sω,k(Rd) and the mapping
[TABLE]
is continuous.
Proof.
Lemma 5.2 implies that there are n∈Z+ and C,M>0 such that, for all t>0,
[TABLE]
for all φ∈Eω,1(Ω), p∈N and β∈Nd. We define
[TABLE]
ln is increasing and, for each t∈[0,∞), there is a smallest natural number pn(t) such that
[TABLE]
By setting p=pn(t), we obtain that
[TABLE]
for all φ∈Eω,1(Ω), p∈N and β∈Nd. Set p0=0 and pj=pn(2j−1) for j∈Z+. Then,
[TABLE]
and, for j∈Z+,
[TABLE]
for all φ∈Eω,1(Ω) and β∈Nd. By Lemma 3.1 there are l∈Z+ and C′>0 such that
[TABLE]
Let m∈N and φ∈Eω,1(Ω) be arbitrary. We assume that M≥1. Then,
[TABLE]
and, for all N1,N2∈Z+ with N1≤N2,
[TABLE]
Consequently, the series ∑j=0∞χpjφθj converges in Sω,l(Rd) and the mapping
[TABLE]
is continuous. The result now follows from the fact that there is k∈Z+ such that F−1:Sω,l(Rd)→Sω,k(Rd) is well-defined and continuous.

Lemma 5.4**.**
[10, Lemma 2.1]**
There is L0>0 (only depending on the dimension d) such that for all δ>0 there is a sequence (hj)j∈N⊂D(Rd) such that for all j∈N
The inclusion E{ω}′[K]⊆B{ω}′(Rd)∩A′[K] is trivial. Conversely, let f∈B{ω1}′(Rd) be such that f∈B{ω}′(Rd)∩A′[K]. This means that there are g1∈B{ω}′(Rd) and g2∈A′[K] such that g1∣DL1,{ω1}(Rd)=g2∣DL1,{ω1}(Rd)=f. We need to show that there is fΩ∈E{ω}′(Ω) such that fΩ∣DL1,{ω1}(Rd)=f for all Ω⊆Rd open with K⊂compΩ. By Theorem 4.5, there are a weight function σ with σ(t)=o(ω(t)) and g1∈B{σ}′(Rd) such that g1∣DL1,{ω1}(Rd)=g1∣DL1,{ω1}(Rd)=f. Next, let Ω′⋐Ω′′⋐Ω be such that K⊂compΩ′ and let (χp)p∈N be an analytic cut-off sequence supported in Ω′′ such that χp≡1 on Ω′ for all p∈N. Furthermore, set δ=d(K,∂Ω′)/(2dL0e) and consider the corresponding sequence (hj)j∈N from Lemma 5.4. We define θ0=h0 and θj=hj−hj−1 for j∈Z+. We divide the proof into three steps.
STEP I: Lemma 5.3 yields that there are a sequence (pj)j∈N of natural numbers and k∈Z+ such that the mapping
[TABLE]
is well-defined and continuous, and that the series ∑j=0∞(χpjφ)∗F−1(θj) converges in Sσ,k(Rd). Since
E{ω}(Ω)⊂Eσ,1(Ω′′) and Sσ,k(Rd)⊂DL1,{σ}(Rd) with continuous inclusions, the mapping
[TABLE]
is well-defined and continuous, and the series R(φ) converges in DL1,{σ}(Rd).
STEP II: We start by bounding the inverse Fourier transform of the θj.
Since ∥θj(α)∥L∞≤(L0δ)∣α∣ for all j∈N and ∣α∣≤2j−1δ, we have that
[TABLE]
for all j∈N and n∈N with n≤2j−1δ, where cd denotes the volume of the unit ball in Rd. By setting n=⌊2j−1δ⌋, we obtain that
[TABLE]
for all j∈N. Consequently,
[TABLE]
for all j∈N. Next, set
[TABLE]
and choose χ∈D(Ω′′) such that χ≡1 on Ω′. We claim that the mapping
[TABLE]
is well-defined and continuous, and that the series ∑j=0∞((χ−χpj)φ)∗F−1(θj) converges in H∞(U). Here, H∞(U) denotes the Banach space consisting of all bounded holomorphic functions on U endowed with the supremum norm. Notice that, for all z∈U and t∈Rd\Ω′, it holds that ∣z−t∣>dL0δe and ∣Im(z−t)∣=∣Im(z)∣<δ/12. Hence, (5.1) implies that
[TABLE]
for all φ∈L1(Ω′′), where
[TABLE]
This shows the claim. Next, choose Ω0⋐Rd such that K⊂compΩ0 and U is a complex open neighbourhood of Ω0. Since E{ω}(Ω)⊂L1(Ω′′) and H∞(U)⊂A(Ω0) with continuous inclusion, the mapping
[TABLE]
is well-defined and continuous, and the series T(φ) converges in A(Ω0).
STEP III: Since g2∈A′[K] there is g2∈A′(Ω0) such that g2∣A(Rd)=g2. Define fΩ=Rt(g1)+Tt(g2)∈E{ω}′(Ω). We claim that fΩ∣A(Rd)=g2 and, thus, fΩ∣DL1,{ω1}(Rd)=g2∣DL1,{ω1}(Rd)=f. By Lemma 3.2 it suffices to show that ⟨fΩ,φ⟩=⟨g2,φ⟩ for all φ∈C[z1,…,zd]. Since, for j∈N fixed, (χpjφ)∗F−1(θj)∈DL1,{ω1}(Rd) and ((χ−χj)φ)∗F−1(θj)∈A(Rd), we have that
[TABLE]
Since g2∈A′[K], it suffices to show that there is a complex open neighbourhood V of K such that the series ∑j=0∞(χφ)∗F−1(θj) converges to φ in H∞(V). Set SN(φ)=∑j=0N(χφ)∗F−1(θj) for N∈N. Since ∑j=0∞θj=1, it holds that SN(φ)→χφ in S(Rd). Consequently, as χ≡1 on Ω′, we have that SN(φ)→φ in C∞(Ω′). Next, fix α∈Nd with ∣α∣>degφ and consider
[TABLE]
For each term in the sum ∑β≤α(βα)χ(β)φ(α−β) with φ(α−β)=0 it holds that β=0 and, thus, χ(β)≡0 on Ω′. In particular, SN(φ)(α)≡0 on Ω′ for all N∈N. Moreover, by using a similar argument as in STEP II, one can show that the sequence (SN(φ)(α))N∈N is convergent in H∞(U), where U is defined in \eqrefUU. Hence, it must hold that SN(φ)(α)→0 in H∞(U). The result now follows from Taylor’s formula.

6. The main result
We are ready to prove the main result of this article.
Theorem 6.1**.**
Let Ω⊆Rd be open and suppose that ω is quasianalytic. The (PLS)-space E{ω}(Ω) satisfies the dual interpolation estimate for small theta.
Remark 6.2*.*
As mentioned in the introduction, Bonet and Domański [2, Thm. 2.1] showed that E{ω}(Ω) satisfies the dual interpolation estimate for small theta if Ω is convex and ω satisfies the following stronger version of (α):
(α1)
λ≥1supt→∞limsupλω(t)ω(λt)<∞.
Condition (α1) is equivalent to the existence of a subadditive weight function σ such that ω≍σ [17, Prop. 1.1]. Furthermore, they showed that A(Ω), with Ω⊆Rd arbitrary open, satisfies the dual interpolation estimate for small theta [2, Cor. 2.2].
In the rest of this section, we assume that ω is quasianalytic. We need some preparation for the proof of Theorem 6.1. Let K⊂compRd. Choose a sequence (Ωn)n∈N of relatively compact open subsets in Rd such that K⊂compΩn, every connected component of Ωn meets K and Ωn+1⋐Ωn for all n∈N and K=⋂n∈NΩn. We define the space *of ultradifferentiable germs of class {ω} (of Roumieu type) on K * as
[TABLE]
This definition is clearly independent of the chosen sequence (Ωn)n∈N. E{ω}[K] is a (DFS)-space (the restriction mappings Eω,n(Ωn)→Eω,n+1(Ωn+1) are injective because ω is quasianalytic). Next, let Ω⊆Rd be open. Choose a sequence (KN)N∈N of compact subsets in Ω such that KN⊂compKN+1∘ for all N∈N and Ω=⋃N∈NKN. Consider the projective spectrum (E{ω}[KN],rN+1N)N∈N, where rN+1N:E{ω}[KN+1]→E{ω}[KN] denotes the natural restriction mapping. Then,
[TABLE]
as lcHs and the spectrum (E{ω}[KN],rN+1N)N∈N is reduced by Lemma 3.2. Moreover, the dual inductive spectrum ((E{ω}[KN])′,(rN+1N)t)N∈N is equivalent to the inductive spectrum (E{ω}′[KN],ιN+1N)N∈N, where ιN+1N:E{ω}′[KN]→E{ω}′[KN+1] denotes the inclusion mapping. Indeed, if we write rN:E{ω}(Rd)→E{ω}[KN] for the natural restriction mapping, then (rN)t:(E{ω}[KN])′→E{ω}′[KN] is a topological isomorphism such that
ιN+1N∘(rN)t=(rN+1)t∘(rN+1N)t for all N∈N.
We use the same notation as above. By Lemma 2.2(i), it suffices to show that the inductive spectrum X=(E{ω}′[KN],ιN+1N)N∈N satisfies the interpolation estimate for small theta. We define the inductive spectra Y=(B{ω}′(Rd),idB{ω}′(Rd))N∈N and Z=(A′[KN],μN+1N)N∈N, where μN+1N:A′[KN]→A′[KN+1] denotes the inclusion mapping. Y satisfies the interpolation estimate for small theta because of Theorem 4.4 and Remark 2.1, while Z satisfies the interpolation estimate for small theta because of the fact that A(Ω) satisfies the dual interpolation estimate for small theta [2, Cor. 2.2] and Lemma 2.2(i). Next, for each N∈N, consider the continuous linear mappings
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Clearly, TN+1∘ιN+1N=idB{ω}′(Rd)∘TN and SN+1∘ιN+1N=μN+1N∘SN . Moreover, Theorem 5.1 and the closed range theorem imply that
[TABLE]
is a topological embedding. Hence, Lemma 2.3 yields that X satisfies the interpolation estimate for small theta.
