Difference Spaces and Invariant Linear Forms
Difference spaces arise by taking sums of finite or fractional differences. Linear forms which vanish identically on such a space are invariant in a corresponding sense. The difference spaces of L2 (Rn) are Hilbert spaces whose functions are characterized

The figure on the cover illustrates the graphs of the following functions: the first derivative -2:J:e-%' of e-%'; the first order difference e-(r-l)' - e-(%+!J' of e-(%-l)'; the second derivative 2(2.r 2 - 1 )e-%' of e-%'; and the second order difference e-%' - 2- 1(e-(%-I)' + e-l%+ll') of e-%'. The general relationship between such functions is described in Corollary 3.7 of Chapter III.

PREFACE
The ideas in this work have had a long period of gestation, although the fuller development and expression of them has occurred over a relatively short and intense period. The dominant ideas emerged in an endeavour to answer the following question: if f is a function in L 2 (JR n ), how can the behaviour of its Fourier transform near the origin of JRn be described and characterized? The corresponding question for the circle group had been given a satisfactory answer by Gary Meisters and Wolfgang Schmidt in 1972, so the work also can be regarded as arising from an attempt to extend their result from the compact case of the circle group to the non-compact case of JRn. The answers presented to these and related questions have implications for other areas of analysis; the notable ones being the ranges of partial differential operators, and the behaviour of some of the singular integral operators of classical analysis. I have received a great deal of help and encouragment from many individuals, many of whom are probably not aware of the positive effect they
