Uncertainty Principles for the Segal-Bargmann Transform

We recall some properties of the Segal-Bargmann transform; and we establish for this transform qualitative uncertainty principles: local uncertainty principle, Heisenberg uncertainty principle, Donoho-Stark''s uncertainty principle and Matolcsi-Sz\"ucs uncertainty principle.     

Uncertainty principles associated with the offset linear canonical transform

As a time‐shifted and frequency‐modulated version of the linear canonical transform (LCT), the offset linear canonical transform (OLCT) provides a more general framework of most existing linear integral transforms in signal processing and optics. To study simultaneous localization of a signal and its OLCT, the classical Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has been recently generalized for the OLCT. In this paper, we complement it by presenting another two uncertainty principles, ie, Donoho‐Stark's uncertainty principle and Amrein‐Berthier‐Benedicks's uncertainty principle, for the OLCT. Moreover, we generalize the short‐time LCT to the short‐time OLCT. We likewise present Lieb's uncertainty principle for the short‐time OLCT and give a lower bound for its essential support.     

Sharper uncertainty principles in quaternionic Hilbert spaces

The uncertainty principle for quaternionic linear operators in quaternionic Hilbert spaces is established, which generalizes the result of Goh-Micchelli. It turns out that there appears an additional term given by a commutator that reflects the feature of quaternions. The result is further strengthened when one operator is self-adjoint, which extends under weaker conditions the uncertainty principle of Dang-Deng-Qian from complex numbers to quaternions. In particular, our results are applied to concrete settings related to quaternionic Fock spaces, quaternionic periodic functions, quaternion Fourier transforms, quaternion linear canonical transforms, and nonharmonic quaternion Fourier transforms.

The energy of signed measures

We generalize the concept of energy to complex measures of finite variation. We show that although the energy dimension of a measure can exceed that of its total variation, it is always less than the Hausdorff dimension of the measure. As an application we prove a variant of the uncertainty principle.

     

Novel uncertainty principles associated with 2D quaternion Fourier transforms

The quaternion Fourier transform has been widely employed in the colour image processing. The use of quaternions allow the analysis of colour images as vector fields. In this paper, the right-sided quaternion Fourier transform and its properties are reviewed. Using the polar form of quaternions, two novel uncertainty principles associated with covariance are established. They prescribe the lower bounds with covariances on the products of the effective widths of quaternionic signals in the space and frequency domains. The results generalize the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to the 2D quaternionic space.     

Uncertainty principle for measurable sets and signal recovery in quaternion domains

The classical uncertainty principle of harmonic analysis states that a nontrivial function and its Fourier transform cannot both be sharply localized. It plays an important role in signal processing and physics. This paper generalizes the uncertainty principle for measurable sets from complex domain to hypercomplex domain using quaternion algebras, associated with the quaternion Fourier transform. The performance is then evaluated in signal recovery problems where there is an interplay of missing and time‐limiting data. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A sharper uncertainty principle

The work strengthens the result established by L. Cohen on uncertainty principle involving phase derivative. We propose stronger uncertainty principles not only in the classical setting for Fourier transform, but also for self-adjoint operators. We also deduce the conditions that give rise to the equal relation of the uncertainty principle. Examples are provided to show that the new uncertainty principle is truly sharper than the existing ones in literature.

Octonion short-time linear canonical transform

We investigate the octonion short-time linear canonical transform (OCSTLCT) in this paper. First, we propose the new definition of the OCSTLCT, and then several important properties of newly defined OCSTLCT, such as bounded, shift, modulation, time-frequency shift, inversion formula, and orthogonality relation, are derived based on the spectral representation of the octonion linear canonical transform (OCLCT). Second, by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle for the OCLCT and the orthogonality relation property for the OCSTLCT, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle for the OCSTLCT is established. Finally, we give an example of the OCSTLCT.     

Uncertainty Principles for Sturm–Liouville Operators

An uncertainty principle for the Sturm--Liouville operator $$ L=\frac{d^2}{dt^2}+a(t)\frac{d}{dt} $$ is established, as generalization of an inequality for Jacobi expansions proved in our previous paper, which implies the uncertainty principle for ultraspherical expansions by M. Rösler and M. Voit. The properties of the orthogonal set of eigenfunctions of the operator L and the so-called conjugate orthogonal set are unified by introducing the differential–difference operators, which are essential in our study. As consequences, an uncertainty principle for Laguerre, Hermite, and generalized Hermite expansions is obtained, respectively.     

A qualitative uncertainty principle for functions generating a Gabor frame on LCA groups

Let G be a locally compact Abelian group. In this paper we study in which way the qualitative uncertainty principle is modified when we consider only functions f∈L²(G) which generate a Gabor frame associated with a uniform lattice K in G. This provides us with sharp lower bounds for the measure of the support of such functions and their Plancherel transforms.     

Uncertainty principle for the two-sided quaternion windowed Fourier transform

In this paper, we study the quaternion windowed Fourier transform (QWFT) and prove the Local uncertainty principle, the Logarithmic uncertainty principle and Amrein Berthier for the QWFT, the radar quaternion ambiguity function and the quaternion Wigner transform.     

Uncertainty principles for Jacobi expansions

In this paper an uncertainty principle for Jacobi expansions is derived, as a generalization of that for ultraspherical expansions by Rösler and Voit. Indeed a stronger inequality is proved, which is new even for Fourier cosine or ultraspherical expansions. A complex base of exponential type on the torus related to Jacobi polynomials is introduced, which are the eigenfunctions both of certain differential-difference operators of the first order and the second order. An uncertainty principle related to such exponential base is also proved.     

Existence of uncertainty minimizers for the continuous wavelet transform

Continuous wavelet design is the endeavor to construct mother wavelets with desirable properties for the continuous wavelet transform (CWT). One class of methods for choosing a mother wavelet involves minimizing a functional, called the wavelet uncertainty functional. Recently, two new wavelet uncertainty functionals were derived from theoretical foundations. In both approaches, the uncertainty of a mother wavelet describes its concentration, or accuracy, as a time-scale probe. While an uncertainty minimizing mother wavelet can be proven to have desirable localization properties, the existence of such a minimizer was never studied. In this paper, we prove the existence of minimizers for the two uncertainty functionals.     

Beurling's theorem for Riemannian symmetric spaces II

We prove two versions of Beurling's theorem for Riemannian symmetric spaces of arbitrary rank. One of them uses the group Fourier transform and the other uses the Helgason Fourier transform. This is the master theorem in the quantitative uncertainty principle.

Uncertainty principles for images defined on the square

This paper discusses uncertainty principles of images defined on the square, or, equivalently, uncertainty principles of signals on the 2‐torus. Means and variances of time and frequency for signals on the 2‐torus are defined. A set of phase and amplitude derivatives are introduced. Based on the derivatives, we obtain three comparable lower bounds of the product of variances of time and frequency, of which the largest lower bound corresponds to the strongest uncertainty principles known for periodic signals. Examples, including simulations, are provided to illustrate the obtained results. To the authors' knowledge, it is in the present paper, and for the first time, that uncertainty principles on the torus are studied. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Real clifford windowed Fourier transform

We study the windowed Fourier transform in the framework of Clifford analysis, which we call the Clifford windowed Fourier transform (CWFT). Based on the spectral representation of the Clifford Fourier transform (CFT), we derive several important properties such as shift, modulation, reconstruction formula, orthogonality relation, isometry, and reproducing kernel. We also present an example to show the differences between the classical windowed Fourier transform (WFT) and the CWFT. Finally, as an application we establish a Heisenberg type uncertainty principle for the CWFT.
