The class of c-almost periodic functions defined on vertical strips in the complex plane

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we develop the notion of c-almost periodicity for functions defined on vertical strips in the complex plane. As a generalization of Bohr’s concept of almost periodicity, we study the main properties of this class of functions which was recently introduced for the case of one real variable. In fact, we extend some important results of this theory which were already demonstrated for some particular cases. In particular, given a non-null complex number c, we prove that the family of vertical translates of a prefixed c-almost periodic function defined in a vertical strip U is relatively compact on any vertical substrip of U, which leads to proving that every c-almost periodic function is also almost periodic and, in fact, $$c^m$$ c m -almost periodic for each integer number m.
