Heisenberg uncertainty principle describes a basic restriction on observer's ability of precisely predicting the measurement for a pair of non-commuting observables, and virtually is at the core of quantum mechanics. We herein aim to study…

In this paper, we generalize the weighted Fourier transform with respect to a function, originally proposed for the one-dimensional case in \cite{Dorrego}, to the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. We develop a comprehensive…

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle results in one of the strangest quantum behaviors: an oscillator can never truly be at rest. Even in its lowest energy state, at a temperature of absolute zero, its position and momentum are still subject…

Recently, universally valid uncertainty relations have been established to set a precision limit for any instruments given a disturbance constraint in a form more general than the one originally proposed by Heisenberg. One of them leads to…

In the presence of modeling errors, the mainstream Bayesian methods seldom give a realistic account of uncertainties as they commonly underestimate the inherent variability of parameters. This problem is not due to any misconception in the…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group. Let $f: G \to {\mathbb C}$ be a signal (i.e. function). The classical uncertainty principle asserts that the product of the size of the support of $f$ and its Fourier transform $\hat f$, $\text{supp}(f)$…

The uncertainty principle states that a signal cannot be localized both in time and frequency. With the aim of extending this result to signals on graphs, Agaskar&Lu introduce notions of graph and spectral spreads. They show that a graph…

Transient phenomena are interesting and potentially highly revealing of details about the processes under observation and study that could otherwise go unnoticed. It is therefore important to maximize the sensitivity of the method used to…
