A function $f:\mathbb{Z}_n \to \mathbb{C}$ can be represented as a linear combination $f(x)=\sum_{\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}_n}\widehat{f}(\alpha) \chi_{\alpha,n}(x)$ where $\widehat{f}$ is the (discrete) Fourier transform of $f$. Clearly, the…

Characterizing in a constructive way the set of real functions whose Fourier transforms are positive appears to be yet an open problem. Some sufficient conditions are known but they are far from being exhaustive. We propose two constructive…

We prove an explicit formula for the Fourier transform of $f(u(t))$, given the Fourier transform of $f(t)$, assuming $f\in L^2(-\infty,\infty)$ and $u$ sufficiently well behaved. We illustrate its usefulness by calculating the Fourier…

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…

In this paper, the algebra of the differences of two multiply monotone functions on $\mathbb{R}_+=(0,+\infty)$ is studied. A sufficient condition for the function $f_0\big(|x|_{p,d}\big)$, where…

Using the basis of Hermite-Fourier functions (i.e. the quantum oscillator eigenstates) and the Sturm theorem, we derive the practical constraints for a function and its Fourier transform to be both positive. We propose a constructive method…

Sufficient conditions are given for a function $F(p)$ to be the Laplace transform of a function $f(t)$ or a distribution $f$. No assumption on $f$ is given a priori. It is not even assumed that $f=0$ for $t<0$.

We obtain an exact formula for the Fourier transform of multiradial functions, i.e., functions of the form $\Phi(x)=\phi(|x_1|, \dots, |x_m|)$, $x_i\in \mathbf R^{n_i}$, in terms of the Fourier transform of the function $\phi$ on $\mathbf…

The stretched Gau{\ss}ian function $f(\mathbf{x})=\exp \left(-\|\mathbf{x}\|^s\right)$, as a real function defined on $\mathbb{R}^d$, has found numerous applications in mathematics and physics. For instance, to describe results from…

Let $1<p,q<\infty ,\ \theta_1 \geq 0,\ \theta_2 \geq 0$ and let $a(x), b(x)$ be a weight functions. In the present paper we intend to study the function space $A_{q),\theta _{2}}^{p),\theta _{1}}\left( \mathbb R^n\right)$ consisting of all…

Necessary and sufficient conditions on the system of positive numbers $ M_{k_1}, M_{k_2}, M_{k_3}, M_{k_4}$, $0= k_1<k_2<k_3=r-2$, $k_4 = r$, which guarantee the existence of a function $x\in L_{\infty,\infty}^r(R)$, such that…

Associated with a given suitable function, or a measure, on $\mathbb{R}$, we introduce a correlation function, so that the Wronskian of the Fourier transform of the function is the Fourier transform of the corresponding correlation…

We study the Fourier transforms $\widehat{\mu}(\xi)$ of non-atomic Gibbs measures $\mu$ for uniformly expanding maps $T$ of bounded distortions on $[0,1]$ or Cantor sets with strong separation. When $T$ is totally non-linear, then…

For a Schwartz function $f$ on the plane and a non-zero $v\in\ZR^2$ define the Hilbert transform of $f$ in the direction $v$ to be $$ H_vf(x)=\text{p.v.}\int_\ZR f(x-vy) \frac{dy}y $$ Let $\zeta$ be a Schwartz function with frequency…

We show a pointwise estimate for the Fourier transform on the line involving the number of times the function changes monotonicity. The contrapositive of the theorem may be used to find a lower bound to the number of local maxima of a…

We study the following question: if $f$ is a nonzero measurable function on $[0,\infty)$ and $m$ and $n$ distinct nonnegative integers, does the ratio $\widehat{f^n}/\widehat{f^m}$ of the Laplace transforms of the powers $f^n$ and $f^m$ of…

For a fixed singular Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{T}$, we give several characterizations of when an entire function is the Fourier transform of some $f \in L^2(\mu)$. The first characterization is given in terms of criteria…

Among functions $f$ majorized by indicator functions $1_E$, which functions have maximal ratio $\|\widehat{f}\|_q/|E|^{1/p}$? We establish a quantitative answer to this question for exponents $q$ sufficiently close to even integers,…

We consider Boolean functions f:{-1,1}^n->{-1,1} that are close to a sum of independent functions on mutually exclusive subsets of the variables. We prove that any such function is close to just a single function on a single subset. We also…

The Riemann-Lebesgue Lemma says that the Fourier transform of an absolutely integrable function on the real line tends to zero as the transform parameter tends to infinity. When the integral is allowed to converge conditionally, the…
