Globally hypoelliptic triangularizable systems of periodic pseudo‐differential operators

This paper presents an investigation on the global hypoellipticity problem for a class of systems of pseudo‐differential operators on the torus. The approach consists in establishing conditions on the matrix symbol of the system such that it can be transformed into a suitable triangular form involving a nilpotent upper triangular matrix. Hence, the global hypoellipticity is studied by analyzing the behavior of the eigenvalues and their averages.
