Title: The discrete and periodic heat and harmonic oscillator equation
Author: Hilger, Stefan
Appeared in: Journal of difference equations and applications

Contents: In this paper we present a generalization of the famous Dirac ladder formalism for the Schrodinger harmonic oscillator equation. Whereas the classical one-dimensional harmonic oscillator [image omitted]  acts on functions of a real continuous variable, our generalization works within the framework of Pontryagin dual groups, the discrete group h and the circle group h- 1 ( unit circle). We will define so-called Hermite-Kravchuk operators that constitute a close connection between the heat and harmonic oscillator equation that is invisible in the real continuous case. This generalization is not only the result of a crude discretization or perturbation process. Since this theory preserves and expands the beautiful algebraic background, one can speak of a structural discretization or “periodization”. We hope that this theory will also serve as a model for physical phenomena.
