The results found here apply to the space of test functions and generalized functions that were constructed in the paper of Cochran, Kuo, and Sengupta, based on a sequence of numbers (ar(n) }^o- We shall prove results about existence, restrictions, and extensions of integral kernel operators based on the conditions on {a(n)}£L 0 contained in the paper of Kubo, Kuo, and Sengupta. Also, we shall prove an analytic property and growth condition of the symbol of a continuous operator in CKS space. Our results are similiar to results Chung, Ji, and Obata have found for the CKS space. iv Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Introduction White noise analysis is a branch of probability that originated from. Hida’s work [3] in 1975. The general focus of white noise analysis is to research properties of test functions and generalized functions. Since the creation of white noise analysis, several types of test function spaces and corresponding generalized functions have been introduced and analyzed. Kubo and Takenaka [ 8 ] [9] [10] [11] introduced and studied the space of test functions and generalized functions in the following Gel’fand triple (£) C (L2) C (£ )'. Kondratiev and Streit [5] [ 6] introduced a family of Gel’fand triples (£), C (£2) C (f)J corresponding to a parameter 0 < /? < 1. If /? = 0, then the Gel’fand triple resulting from the Kondratiev and Streit construction is the Kubo-Takenaka Gel’ fand triple. More recently, Cochran, Kuo, and Sengupta [ 2] have introduced the Gel’fand triple [£]„ C (£2) c [£]; corresponding to a sequence {< 2(71) }£10 of positive numbers satisfying certain con ditions. If a(n) = (n!)^, then the CKS space is the same as the Kondratiev-Streit space. Obata [13] introduced the concept of integral kernel operator for the Kubo- Takenaka space. For the Kondratiev-Streit space, Kuo [12] proved results including (1) the existence of an integral kernel operator from the space of test functions to 1 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Naturally, we wondered if similiar results could be achieved in the more general CKS space. Using the CKS space with additional conditions introduced by Kubo, Kuo, and Sengupta [7], we shall present results about the existence of integral kernel oper ators, extensions and restrictions of integral kernel operators, and two properties of the symbol of a continuous operator. Chung, Ji, and Obata [ 1] proved results about norm estimates for integral kemal operators and the symbol in the CKS space based on the conditions on {a:(n)}£L 0 given by Kubo, Kuo and Sengupta [7]. Chung, Ji, and Obata’s [ 1] results about integral kernel operators are sometimes more general than the similiar results listed here, but they often use different conditions on {or(n)}^L0. Their work on the symbol is more extensive than what we independently found. Further information on white noise analysis can be found in [4] and [14]. 2 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission.
