A modified optimal control for the mathematical model of dengue virus with vaccination

1.   Introduction

As usual, let $H$ denote a complex Hilbert space and ${\mathcal {B}}(H)$ the set of all bounded linear operators on $H$. Let $\bar{z}$ be the usual conjugation of complex number $z$, that is, if $z = x+iy$, then $\bar{z} = x-iy$. Let $T^*$ denote the adjoint operator of $T$ for $T\in\mathcal{B}(H)$.

We continuously introduce some notations. For a complex number $z$, let $\Re z$ denote the real part of $z$ and $\Im z$ the imaginary part of $z$. Let ${\mathbb C}$ denote the complex plane, $\Pi$ the right half-plane $\{z\in {\mathbb C}:\Re z > 0\}$, and $A^2_{{\alpha}}(\Pi)$ the weighted Bergman space on $\Pi$.

We first need the following definition.

Definition 1.1. An operator $C:H \rightarrow H$ is said to be a conjugation if it satisfies the following conditions:

(i) conjugate-linear: $C({\alpha} x+\beta y) = \bar{{\alpha}}C(x)+\bar{\beta}C(y),$ for ${\alpha}, \beta\in {\mathbb C}$ and $x, y\in H;$

(ii) isometric: $||C(x)|| = ||x||,$ for all $x\in H;$

(iii) involutive: $C^2 = I_d$, where $I_d$ is an identity operator.

One can see ^[7] for more information about conjugations. Actually, there exists many conjugations on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ such as $\mathcal{J}f(z) = \overline{f(\bar{z})}$.

Definition 1.2. Let $C:H\to H$ be a conjugation and $T\in\mathcal{B}(H)$. If $CTC = T^*$, then $T$ is said to be complex symmetric with $C$.

Complex symmetric operators on abstract Hilbert space were studied by Garcia, Putinar, and Wogen in ^[7,8,9,10]. Afterwards, one started to consider such operators on function spaces. For example, Noor et al. in ^[24] characterized the complex symmetric composition operators on Hardy space of the right half-plane. See also ^{[5,11,12,13,18,19,22,23,30,33]} for the studies of such operators on function spaces. After a long time of research, people find that many operators are complex symmetric operators such as normal operators, Hankel operators, and Volterra integration operators. Complex symmetric operators have been extensively used in theoretic and application aspects (see ^[6]).

Ptak et al. in ^[26] introduced an interesting class of operators named complex normal operators and proved that the class of the complex normal operators properly contains complex symmetric operators.

Definition 1.3. Let $C$ be a conjugation on $H$ and $T\in{\mathcal {B}}(H)$. If $C(T^*T) = (TT^*)C$, then $T$ is said to be complex normal with $C$.

In the recent paper ^[31], Wang et al. studied the structure of complex normal operators and provided a refined polar decomposition of complex normal operators. Recently, Bhuia in ^[1] studied complex normal weighted composition operators on Fock space and provided some properties of complex normal weighted composition operators. A direct proof shows that complex symmetric operators are always complex normal. Thus, complex normality can be viewed as a generalized complex symmetry. Also, in ^[26], basic properties of complex normal operators are developed. In particular, special attention is paid to complex normal operators on finite dimensional spaces, $L^2$ type spaces, and the Hardy space $H^2$.

Because of the above-mentioned studies, we can try to study the complex symmetric or complex normal weighted composition operators on other analytic function spaces. Coincidentally, when we are considering such problems, we find that Hai et al. in ^[14] studied the following conjugations on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$

where $s\in {\mathbb R}$. Since it is difficult to give a proper description of the adjoint for the weighted composition operators with the general symbols on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$, in ^[14] they just characterized the complex symmetric weighted composition operators with the symbols in (Ⅰ)–(Ⅲ) on $A^2_{{\alpha}}(\Pi)$. These symbols are defined as follows:

(Ⅰ)

where coefficients satisfy

(Ⅱ)

where coefficients satisfy $\delta\in {\mathbb C}$, $\mu\in\Pi$, and $\eta\in\mathbb R$.

(Ⅲ)

where coefficients satisfy $\lambda\in {\mathbb C}$ and $\gamma\in\Pi$.

Next, we will provide the research motivations of this paper. With the basic questions such as boundedness and compactness settled, more attention has been paid to the study of the topological structure of the composition operators or weighted composition operators in the operator norm topology. In this research background, Shapiro and Sundberg in ^[27] posed a question on whether two composition operators belong to the same connected component, when their difference is compact. In the study of difference of composition operators, some interesting phenomena were found. For example, there is no compact composition operators on weighted Bergman space on the half-plane (see ^[20]), but there is compact difference of composition operators on this space (see ^[3]); two noncompact composition operators can induce compact difference of composition operators on weighted Bergman space on the unit disk (see ^[21]). Perhaps due to these interesting phenomena, people initiated the study of difference of composition operators or weighted composition operators, which has become a very active topic (see ^[16,21,28]).

Motivated by the above-mentioned studies, a natural problem is to characterize complex symmetric difference of composition operators or weighted composition operators on analytic function spaces. To this end, we try to consider this problem on weighted Bergman space $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ by using the weighted composition operators with symbols in (Ⅰ)–(Ⅲ). As we expected, we find that the difference of such weighted composition operators is complex symmetric on weighted Bergman space $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugations in (1.1) if and only if each weighted composition operator is complex symmetric. This is an interesting phenomenon, but it may be not right for the general case, that is, from the complex symmetry of the operator $T = T_1+T_2$, where $T_1, T_2\in{\mathcal {B}}(H)$, it cannot deduce the complex symmetries of the operators $T_1$ and $T_2$. On the other hand, it is well known that there is no compact composition operators on the weighted Bergman space $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$. Maybe for that reason, there isarded as an useful supplement of the weighted composition operators on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$.

2.   Preliminaries

Throughout the paper, we always assume that ${\alpha}$ is a nonnegative integer, since for any $w, z\in {\mathbb C}$ and ${\alpha} > 0$, $(wz)^{\alpha}\neq w^{\alpha} z^{\alpha}$ while the equality holds when ${\alpha}$ is a nonnegative integer.

Let $H(\Pi)$ be the set of all analytic functions on $\Pi$, $dA$ be the area measure on $\Pi$, and $dA_{{\alpha}}(z) = \frac{2^{\alpha}({\alpha}+1)}{\pi}(\Re z)^{\alpha} dA(z)$. The weighted Bergman space $A^2_{{\alpha}}(\Pi)$ consists of all $f\in H(\Pi)$ such that

Moreover, this norm is induced by the inner product

$A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ is a Hilbert space with this inner product, and the reproducing kernel is

That is,

for any $f\in A_{\alpha}^{2}(\Pi)$ and $z\in\Pi$. One can see ^[4] for more information on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$.

Let ${\varphi}$ be an analytic self-mapping of $\Pi$ and $u\in H(\Pi)$. The weighted composition operator induced by the symbols $u$ and ${\varphi}$ on or between some subspaces of $H(\Pi)$ is defined by

From the definition, it follows that when $u\equiv1$, $W_{u, {\varphi}}$ is the composition operator, denoted by $C_{{\varphi}}$; when ${\varphi}(z) = z$, $W_{u, {\varphi}}$ is the multiplication operator, denoted by $M_u$.

It is an interesting topic to provide the characterizations of the symbols $u$ and ${\varphi}$ which induce bounded or compact weighted composition operators. Recently, several authors have studied the composition operators and weighted composition operators on weighted Bergman space of the half-plane. For example, Elliott et al. in ^[4] characterized the bounded composition operators and proved that no composition operator on the weighted Bergman space of the upper half-plane is compact. Sharma et al. in ^[29] characterized the bounded weighted composition operators on vector-valued weighted Bergman spaces of the upper half-plane. Readers can also find some relevant studies about the operators on the weighted Bergman spaces of the upper half-plane and we will not repeat them anymore.

3.   Complex symmetric difference of weighted composition operators

The following result can be directly obtained by utilizing the denseness of the linear span of the functions $\{K^{{\alpha}}_w:w\in\Pi\}$ in $A^2_{{\alpha}}(\Pi)$.

Lemma 3.1. Let $T$ be a bounded operator on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$. Then, $T$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha}^{2}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $C$ if and only if

for all $w, z\in\Pi$.

To study the difference of the operators $W_{\tau, \phi}$ with the symbols in (Ⅰ)–(Ⅲ) on $A^2_{{\alpha}}(\Pi)$, we need the following result, where (a) was proved in ^[32].

Lemma 3.2. (a) Let $\tau(z) = \frac{1}{(z-c)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi(z) = -a-\frac{b}{z-c}$ be the symbols defined in (I). Then, on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ the following holds

(b) Let $\tau(z) = \frac{\delta}{(z+\mu+i\eta)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi(z) = \mu$ be the symbols defined in (II). Then, on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ the following holds

(c) Let $\tau(z) = \lambda$ and $\phi(z) = z+\gamma$ be the symbols defined in (III). Then, on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ the following holds

Proof. (b). From Lemma 3.2 in ^[32], we have

(c). The proof can be similarly obtained, so we do not provide proof anymore. □

First, we characterize the complex symmetric difference of the operator $W_{\tau, \phi}$ with the symbols in (Ⅰ) on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$.

Theorem 3.1. Let $\tau_j(z) = \frac{1}{(z-c_j)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_j(z) = -a_j-\frac{b_j}{z-c_j}$ be the symbols in (I) for $j = 1$, $2$. Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha }^{2} (\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$ if and only if $a_1 = c_1$ and $a_2 = c_2$.

Proof. For all $w, z\in\Pi$, from Lemma 3.2 (a) the following equalities hold

and

Hence, from (3.2), (3.3) and Lemma 3.1, it follows that the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha }^{2} (\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$ if and only if

for all $w, z\in\Pi$.

Assume that the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha }^{2} (\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$. Then, from (3.4) we obtain

for all $w, z\in\Pi$. From the formula

we have

for all $w, z\in\Pi$. Clearly, if $a_2\neq c_2$, then from (3.6) we have

for all $w, z\in\Pi$ and $w\neq z$. So, from the arbitrariness of $w$ and $z$ in (3.7), we deduce a contradiction. Then, we obtain $a_2 = c_2$. Similarly, we have $a_1 = c_1$.

Conversely, if $a_1 = c_1$ and $a_2 = c_2$, then it is easy to see that (3.4) holds. This shows that $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha}^2(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$. □

We have the following result, and we do not provide proof anymore.

Lemma 3.3. Let $\tau(z) = \frac{1}{(z-c)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi(z) = -a-\frac{b}{z-c}$ be the symbols in (I). Then, the operator $W_{\tau, \phi}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha}^{2}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$ if and only if $a = c$.

Remark 3.1. From Lemma 3.3 and Theorem 3.1, we see that the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha}^2(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$ if and only if both $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}$ and $W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ are complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha}^2(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$.

Example 3.1. Let $\tau_1(z) = \frac{1}{(z-i)^{{\alpha}+2}}$, $\phi_1(z) = -i+\frac{1}{z-i}$, $\tau_2(z) = \frac{1}{(z+1-i)^{{\alpha}+2}}$, and $\phi_2(z) = 1-i-\frac{1+i}{2z+2-2i}$ be the symbols in (Ⅰ). Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$.

Proof. From the form of the symbols in (Ⅰ), it follows that $a_1 = i$, $b_1 = -1$, $c_1 = i$, $a_2 = -1+i$, $b_2 = \frac{1}{2}+\frac{i}{2}$ and $c_2 = -1+i$. Then, from Theorem 3.1, the desired result follows. □

Now, we characterize the complex symmetry of the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_sf(z) = \overline{f(\bar{z}+is)}$.

Theorem 3.2. Let $\tau_j(z) = \frac{1}{(z-c_j)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_j(z) = -a_j-\frac{b_j}{z-c_j}$ be the symbols in (I) for $j = 1$, $2$. Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha }^{2} (\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_s$ if and only if $a_1 = c_1-is$ and $a_2 = c_2-is$.

Proof. For all $w, z\in\Pi$, from Lemma 3.2 (a) the following equalities hold

and

Hence, from (3.8), (3.9), and Lemma 3.1, we have that the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha }^{2} (\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_s$ if and only if

for all $w, z\in\Pi$.

Assume that the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha }^{2} (\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_s$. Then, from (3.10) we obtain

for all $w, z\in\Pi$. Also, applying the following formula in (3.11)

if $a_2\neq c_2-is$, then

for all $w, z\in\Pi$ with $w\neq z$. So, from the arbitrariness of $w$ and $z$ in (3.12), we deduce a contradiction. Then, we obtain $a_2 = c_2-is$. Similarly, we have $a_1 = c_1-is$.

Conversely, if $a_1 = c_1-is$ and $a_2 = c_2-is$, then we see that (3.10) holds, which shows that $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha}^2(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_s$. □

Remark 3.2. If $\tau(z) = \frac{1}{(z-c)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi(z) = -a-\frac{b}{z-c}$ are the symbols in (Ⅰ), then the operator $W_{\tau, \phi}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha }^{2} (\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_s$ if and only if $a = c-is$. Combining Theorem 3.2, we prove that if $\tau_j(z) = \frac{1}{(z-c_j)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_j(z) = -a_j-\frac{b_j}{z-c_j}$ are the symbols in (Ⅰ) for $j = 1$, $2$, then the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha}^{2}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_s$ if and only if both $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}$ and $W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ are complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha }^{2} (\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_s$.

Example 3.2. Let $\tau_1(z) = \frac{1}{[z-(1+s)i]^{{\alpha}+2}}$, $\phi_1(z) = -i+\frac{1}{z-(1+s)i}$, $\tau_2(z) = \frac{1}{[z+1-(1+s)i]^{{\alpha}+2}}$, and $\phi_2(z) = 1-i-\frac{1+i}{2z+2-2(1+s)i}$ be the symbols in (Ⅰ). Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_s$.

Proof. From the form of the symbols in (Ⅰ), it follows that $a_1 = i$, $b_1 = -1$, $c_1 = (1+s)i$, $a_2 = -1+i$, $b_2 = \frac{1}{2}+\frac{i}{2}$, and $c_2 = -1+(1+s)i$. Then, from Theorem 3.2, the desired result follows. □

Now, we characterize the complex symmetric operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ induced by the symbols in (Ⅰ) on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_*f(z) = \frac{1}{z^{{\alpha}+2}} \overline{f\big(\frac{1}{\bar{z}}\big)}$.

Theorem 3.3. Let $\tau_j(z) = \frac{1}{(z-c_j)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_j(z) = -a_j-\frac{b_j}{z-c_j}$ be the symbols in (I) for $j = 1$, $2$. Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{{\alpha}}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_{*}$ if and only if $a_1c_1-b_1 = 1$ and $a_2c_2-b_2 = 1$.

Proof. For all $w, z\in\Pi$, from Lemma 3.2 (a) it follows that

and

Then, from (3.13), (3.14), and Lemma 3.1, it follows that the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha }^{2} (\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_*$ if and only if

for all $w, z\in\Pi$. Clearly, (3.15) is equivalent to

for all $w, z\in\Pi$.

Now, assume that the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{{\alpha}}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_{*}$. Using the same method in the proof of Theorem 3.1, if $a_2c_2-b_2\neq1$, then

for all $w, z\in\Pi$ and $w\neq z$. Then, from the arbitrariness of $w$ and $z$ in (3.16), we deduce a contradiction. So, we obtain that $a_2c_2-b_2 = 1$. Similarly, we also have that $a_1c_1-b_1 = 1$.

Conversely, assume that $a_1c_1-b_1 = 1$ and $a_2c_2-b_2 = 1$. It is clear that (3.15) holds. This shows that the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{{\alpha}}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_{*}$. □

Remark 3.3. If $\tau(z) = \frac{1}{(z-c)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi(z) = -a-\frac{b}{z-c}$ are the symbols in (Ⅰ), then the operator $W_{\tau, \phi}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha }^{2} (\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_*$ if and only if $ac-b = 1$. Therefore, from Theorem 3.3, if $\tau_j(z) = \frac{1}{(z-c_j)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_j(z) = -a_j-\frac{b_j}{z-c_j}$ are the symbols in (Ⅰ) for $j = 1$, $2$, then the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha}^{2}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_*$ if and only if both $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}$ and $W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ are complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha }^{2} (\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_*$.

Example 3.3. Let $\tau_1(z) = \frac{1}{(z-i)^{{\alpha}+2}}$, $\phi_1(z) = -i+\frac{2}{z-i}$, $\tau_2(z) = \frac{1}{(z+1+i)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_2(z) = 1-i-\frac{1}{z+1+i}$ be the symbols in (Ⅰ). Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_*$.

Proof. From the form of the symbols in (Ⅰ), it follows that $a_1 = i$, $b_1 = -2$, $c_1 = i$, $a_2 = -1+i$, $b_2 = 1$, and $c_2 = -1-i$. From the calculations, we have $a_1c_1-b_1 = 1$ and $a_2c_2-b_2 = 1$. Then, from Theorem 3.3, the desired result follows. □

Next, we characterize the complex symmetric operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ induced by the symbols in (Ⅱ) on $A_{\alpha }^{2} (\Pi)$. First, Lemma 3.2 (b) tells us that

which shows that if $a = -\mu$, $b = 0$ and $c = -\mu-i\eta$, then

Therefore, we can directly obtain the following several results.

Theorem 3.4. Let $\tau_j(z) = \frac{\delta_j}{(z+\mu_j+i\eta_j)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_j(z) = \mu_j$ be the symbols in (II) for $j = 1$, $2$. Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$ if and only if $\eta_1 = \eta_2 = 0$.

Theorem 3.5. Let $\tau_j(z) = \frac{\delta_j}{(z+\mu_j+i\eta_j)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_j(z) = \mu_j$ be the symbols in (II) for $j = 1$, $2$. Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_s$ if and only if $\eta_1 = \eta_2 = -s$.

For the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_*$, we assume that $\delta\neq0$. Otherwise, it is trivial.

Theorem 3.6. Let $\tau_j(z) = \frac{\delta_j}{(z+\mu_j+i\eta_j)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_j(z) = \mu_j$ be the symbols in (II) for $j = 1$, $2$. Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_{*}$ if and only if

with $\eta_j\in(-2, 2)$, $j = 1$, $2$.

Remark 3.4. For the symbols in (Ⅱ), although we do not give the proofs, we still see that the operators $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ are complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha}^{2}(\Pi)$ with the conjugations $\mathcal{J}$, $\mathcal{J}_s$, and $\mathcal{J}_*$ if and only if both $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}$ and $W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ are complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha}^{2}(\Pi)$ with the conjugations $\mathcal{J}$, $\mathcal{J}_s$, and $\mathcal{J}_*$.

Example 3.4. Let $\tau_1(z) = \frac{1}{(z+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{i}{2})^{{\alpha}+2}}$, $\phi_1(z) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{i}{2}$, $\tau_2(z) = \frac{1}{(z+\frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}+\frac{i}{4})^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_2(z) = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}-\frac{i}{4}$ be the symbols in (Ⅱ). Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_*$.

Proof. From the form of the symbols in (Ⅱ), it follows that $\mu_1 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{i}{2}$, $\eta_1 = 1$, $\mu_2 = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{4}-\frac{i}{4}$, and $\eta_2 = \frac{1}{2}$. Then, from Theorem 3.6, the desired result follows. □

Now, we discuss complex the symmetric operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ induced by the symbols in (Ⅲ) on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$.

Theorem 3.7. Let $\tau_j(z) = \lambda_j$ and $\phi_j(z) = z+\gamma_j$ be the symbols in (III) for $j = 1$, $2$. Then, $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$.

Proof. For all $w, z\in\Pi$, from Lemma 3.2 (c) we have

and

From (3.17) and (3.18), it follows that

for all $z\in\Pi$. The proof is completed. □

Of course, the following result is true. The proof is omitted.

Theorem 3.8. Let $\tau_j(z) = \lambda_j$ and $\phi_j(z) = z+\gamma_j$ be the symbols in (III) for $j = 1$, $2$. Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_s$.

However, the result on the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_*$ is trivial since there exists the following theorem. Here, assume that $\lambda_j\neq0$ for $j = 1$, $2$. Otherwise, $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is a null operator.

Theorem 3.9. Let $\tau_j(z) = \lambda_j$ and $\phi_j(z) = z+\gamma_j$ be the symbols in (III) for $j = 1$, $2$. Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_*$ if and only if $\gamma_1 = \gamma_2 = 0$.

Proof. For all $w, z\in\Pi$, from Lemma 3.2 (c) it follows that

and

Then, from (3.19), (3.20), and Lemma 3.1, it follows that the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A_{\alpha }^{2} (\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_*$ if and only if

for all $w, z\in\Pi$.

Now, assume that the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{{\alpha}}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_{*}$. Using the above-mentioned method in the proof of Theorem 3.1, if $\gamma_2\neq0$, then

for all $w, z\in\Pi$ and $w\neq z$. Then, from the arbitrariness of $w$ and $z$ in (3.22), we deduce a contradiction. So, we obtain that $\gamma_2 = 0$. Similarly, we also have that $\gamma_1 = 0$.

Conversely, assume that $\gamma_1 = \gamma_2 = 0$. It is clear that (3.21) holds. This shows that the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{{\alpha}}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}_{*}$. □

4.   Complex symmetric difference of mixed types

In this section, we first consider complex symmetric difference induced by the symbols in (Ⅰ) and (Ⅱ). Assume that $\delta\neq0$. Otherwise, $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2} = W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}$ in Theorem 4.1, whose complex symmetry has been studied in Lemma 3.3.

Theorem 4.1. Let $\tau_1(z) = \frac{1}{(z-c)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_1(z) = -a-\frac{b}{z-c}$ be the symbols in (I), $\tau_2(z) = \frac{\delta}{(z+\mu+i\eta)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_2(z) = \mu$ the symbols in (II). Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$ if and only if $a = c$ and $\eta = 0$.

Proof. For all $w, z\in\Pi$, it follows from Lemma 3.2 (a) and (b) that

Therefore, by Lemma 3.1, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$ if and only if

for all $w, z\in\Pi$.

Assume that the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$. Then, by the formula

(4.3) becomes

for all $w, z\in\Pi$. Similar to the proof of Theorem 3.1, we see that if $a\neq c$, then we can deduce a contradiction. Similarly, we can obtain $\eta = 0$.

Conversely, if $a = c$ and $\eta = 0$, then it is easy to see that (4.3) holds. By Lemma 3.1, $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$. The proof is completed. □

Example 4.1. Let $\tau_1(z) = \frac{1}{(z+2-i)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_1(z) = 2-i-\frac{1}{z+2-i}$ be the symbols in (Ⅰ), $\tau_2(z) = \frac{1}{(z+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{i}{2})^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_2(z) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{i}{2}$ be the symbols in (Ⅱ). Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$.

Proof. It is clear that $a = c = -2+i$, $\mu = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{i}{2}$ and $\eta = 0$. From Theorem 4.1, the desired result follows. □

Theorem 4.2. Let $\tau_1(z) = \frac{1}{(z-c)^{{\alpha}+2}}$ and $\phi_1(z) = -a-\frac{b}{z-c}$ be the symbols in (I), $\tau_2(z) = \lambda$ and $\phi_2(z) = z+\gamma$ the symbols in (III). Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$ if and only if $a = c$.

Proof. For all $w, z\in\Pi$, it follows from Lemma 3.2 (a) and (c) that

Therefore, by Lemma 3.1, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$ if and only if

for all $w, z\in\Pi$.

Assume that $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$. Then, from (4.4) we obtain

for all $w, z\in\Pi$, that is, $a = c$.

Conversely, if $a = c$, then it is clear that (4.5) holds. By Lemma 3.1, $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$. The proof is completed. □

Then, the operator $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$ if and only if $\eta = 0$.

Proof. For $w, z\in\Pi$, by Lemma 3.2 (b) and (c),

and

Thus, from Lemma 3.1, it follows that $W_{\tau_1, \phi_1}-W_{\tau_2, \phi_2}$ is complex symmetric on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$ with the conjugation $\mathcal{J}$ if and only if $\eta = 0$. □

From the above proofs, the following results can be similarly proved.

5.   Conclusions

Since it is impossible to give the proper description of the adjoint of the operator $W_{\tau, \phi}$ with the general symbols on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$, in this paper we just consider this problem for the operators $W_{\tau, \phi}$ with the symbols in (Ⅰ)–(Ⅲ) on $A^2_{{\alpha}}(\Pi)$. At the same time, by using these descriptions, we characterize complex symmetric difference of the operators $W_{\tau, \phi}$ with the symbols in (Ⅰ)–(Ⅲ) with the conjugations $\mathcal{J}$, $\mathcal{J}_s$, and $\mathcal{J}_*$ on $A^2_{\alpha}(\Pi)$. However, we still do not obtain any result for the general symbols. Therefore, we hope that the study can attract more attention for such a topic.
