Wirtinger's representation and projection theorem explained

\left.\right.H2

of the simple, unweighted holomorphic Hilbert space

\left.\right.L2

of functions square-integrable over the surface of the unit disc

\left.\right.\{z:|z|<1\}

of the complex plane, along with a form of the orthogonal projection from

\left.\right.L2

to

\left.\right.H2

.

Wirtinger's paper [1] contains the following theorem presented also in Joseph L. Walsh's well-known monograph[2] (p. 150) with a different proof. If

\left.\right.\left.F(z)\right.

is of the class

\left.\right.L2

on

\left.\right.|z|<1

, i.e.

\iint|z|<1|F(z)|2dS<+infty,

where

\left.\right.dS

is the area element, then the unique function

\left.\right.f(z)

of the holomorphic subclass

H2\subsetL2

, such that

\iint|z|<1|F(z)-f(z)|2dS

is least, is given by

f(z)=1\pi\iintF(\zeta)
|\zeta|<1
dS
(1-\overline\zetaz)2

,|z|<1.

The last formula gives a form for the orthogonal projection from

\left.\right.L2

to

\left.\right.H2

. Besides, replacement of

\left.\right.F(\zeta)

by

\left.\right.f(\zeta)

makes it Wirtinger's representation for all

f(z)\inH2

. This is an analog of the well-known Cauchy integral formula with the square of the Cauchy kernel. Later, after the 1950s, a degree of the Cauchy kernel was called reproducing kernel, and the notation

In 1948 Mkhitar Djrbashian[3] extended Wirtinger's representation and projection to the wider, weighted Hilbert spaces
