We introduce a complex q-Fourier transform as a generalization of the (real) one analyzed in [Milan J. Math. {\bf 76} (2008) 307]. By recourse to tempered ultradistributions we show that this complex plane-generalization overcomes all…
A wide class of physical distributions appears to follow the q-Gaussian form, which plays the role of attractor according to a Central Limit Theorem generalized in the presence of specific correlations between the relevant random variables.…
By recourse to tempered ultradistributions, we show here that the effect of a q-Fourier transform (qFT) is to map {\it equivalence classes} of functions into other classes in a one-to-one fashion. This suggests that Tsallis' q-statistics…

A recent generalization of the Central Limit Theorem consistent with nonextensive statistical mechanics has been recently achieved through a generalized Fourier transform, noted $q$-Fourier transform. A representation formula for the…
In the paper the question - Is the q-Fourier transform of a q-Gaussian a q'-Gaussian (with some q') up to a constant factor? - is studied for the whole range of $q\in (-\infty, 3)$. This question is connected with applicability of the…
We give a rigorous derivation of the Fourier transform of the Heaviside function within a framework for tempered distributions that is suitable for undergraduate engineering and mathematics students. The proofs rely on fundamental concepts…
The q-Gaussian function emerges naturally in various applications of statistical mechanics of non-ergodic and complex systems. In particular it was shown that in the theory of binary processes with correlations, the q-Gaussian can appear as…
In the present article, the author uses Fourier theory of tempered distributions (generalized functions) in deriving a formula for Dirichlet-like integrals. The applied method is remarkably efficient and allows a solution in a few…
We find a formula that relates the Fourier transform of a radial function on $\mathbf{R}^n$ with the Fourier transform of the same function defined on $\mathbf{R}^{n+2}$. This formula enables one to explicitly calculate the Fourier…
We discuss a generalized representation of the Dirac delta function in $d$ dimensions in terms of $q$-exponential functions. We apply this new representation to the study of the so-called $q$-Fourier transform, proving its invertibility for…
The q-Gaussian is a probability distribution generalizing the Gaussian one. In spite of a q-normal distribution is popular, there is a problem when calculating an expectation value with a corresponding normalized distribution and not a…
In a recent paper Hilhorst \cite{Hilhorst2010} illustrated that the $q$-Fourier transform for $q>1$ is not invertible in the space of density functions. Using an invariance principle he constructed a family of densities with the same…
In the present article, a new method for the evaluation of fractional derivatives of arbitrary real order is proposed. Numerous but inequivalent formulations have been given in the past. Some of them exhibit unsatisfactory properties such…
It was recently proven [Hilhorst, JSTAT, P10023 (2010)] that the q-generalization of the Fourier transform is not invertible in the full space of probability density functions for q > 1. It has also been recently shown that this…
The Fourier transform of a bounded measurable function, $f$, on the real line is shown to be the second distributional derivative of a H\"older continuous function. The Fourier transform is written as the difference of $\int_{-1}^1…
Using the existence of infinite numbers $k$ in the non-Archimedean ring of Robinson-Colombeau, we define the hyperfinite Fourier transform (HFT) by considering integration extended to $[-k,k]^{n}$ instead of $(-\infty,\infty)^{n}$. In order…

It is a consensus in signal processing that the Gaussian kernel and its partial derivatives enable the development of robust algorithms for feature detection. Fourier analysis and convolution theory have central role in such development. In…
