Abstract

For real symmetric positive definite matrices AA and BB, we characterize when a function fL2(Rd)f \in L^2(\mathbb{R}^d) satisfies f(x)e(12λ)Ax,xandf^(ξ)e(12λ)Bξ,ξ,λ>0, |f(x)| \lesssim e^{-(\frac12 - \lambda) \langle Ax, x\rangle} \quad \text{and} \quad |\widehat{f}(\xi)| \lesssim e^{-(\frac12 - \lambda) \langle B\xi, \xi\rangle} , \qquad \forall \lambda > 0 , or even more specified time-frequency decay estimates, in terms of the skewed Hermite series expansion of ff. We also consider coordinate-wise time-frequency decay and determine when it becomes equivalent to the same bounds on the skewed Hermite coefficients.
