Computation of the fractional Fourier transform

In this paper we make a critical comparison of some programs for the digital computation of the fractional Fourier transform that are freely available and we describe our own implementation that filters the best out of the existing ones. Two types of transforms are considered: first, the fast approximate fractional Fourier transform algorithm for which two algorithms are available. The method is described in [H.M. Ozaktas, M.A. Kutay, G. Bozda i, IEEE Trans. Signal Process. 44 (1996) 2141–2150]. There are two implementations: one is written by A.M. Kutay, the other is part of package written by J. O'Neill. Second, the discrete fractional Fourier transform algorithm described in the master thesis by Ç. Candan [Bilkent University, 1998] and an algorithm described by S.C. Pei, M.H. Yeh, and C.C. Tseng [IEEE Trans. Signal Process. 47 (1999) 1335–1348].     

A simple approach to asymptotic expansions for Fourier integrals of singular functions

In this work, we are concerned with the derivation of full asymptotic expansions for Fourier integrals as s → ∞, where s is real positive, [a, b] is a finite interval, and the functions f(x) may have different types of algebraic and logarithmic singularities at x = a and x = b. This problem has been treated in the literature by techniques involving neutralizers and Mellin transforms. Here, we derive the relevant asymptotic expansions by a method that employs simpler and less sophisticated tools.

Pointwise Fourier inversion--An addendum

In this note we complete a circle of results presented in §5 of an earlier work of the author (J. Fourier Anal. 5 (1999), 449-463), establishing the endpoint case of Proposition 10 of that paper. As a consequence, we have results on pointwise convergence of the Fourier series (summed by spheres) of a function on the 3-dimensional torus with a simple jump across a smooth surface , with no curvature hypotheses on , extending Proposition 7 of that paper.

Sharp Results Concerning the Expression of Functions as Sums of Finite Differences

Let * denote convolution and let _x denote the Dirac measureat a point x. A function in L²(R)) is called a difference oforder 1 if it is of the form g-_x * g for some x R and g L²(R)).Also, a difference of order 2 is a function of the form for some x R and g L²(R)). In fact,the concept of a ‘difference of order s’ may bedefined in a similar manner for each s 0. If f denotes the Fouriertransform of f, it is known that a function f in L²(R)) is afinite sum of differences of order s if and only if , and the vector space of all suchfunctions is denoted by D_s (L²(R)). Every function in D_s (L²(R))is a sum of int(2s) + 1 differences of order s, where int(t)denotes the integer part of t. Thus, every function in D₁ (L²(R))is a sum of three first order differences, but it was provedin 1994 that there is a function in D₁ (L(R)) which is neverthe sum of two first order differences. This complemented, forthe group R, the corresponding result for first order differencesobtained by Meisters and Schmidt in 1972 for the circle group.The results show that there is a function in L₂ R such that,for each s 1/2, this function is a sum of int (2s) + 1 differencesof order s but it is never the sum of int (2s) differences oforder s. The proof depends upon extending to higher dimensionsthe following result in two dimensions obtained by Schmidt in1972 in connection with Heilbronn's problem: if x₁, x__n arepoints in the unit square, Following on from the work of Meisters and Schmidt, this workfurther develops a connection between certain estimates in combinatorialgeometry and some questions of sharpness in harmonic analysis.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 42A38 (primary), 52A40(secondary).

Responding to a question of Geoffrey Mason, the authors present simple proofs of the following two results, under natural restrictions upon . Theorem. If the coefficients a(n) are real for all n, then the sequence {a(n)} has infinitely many changes of sign. Theorem. Either the sequence {Re a(n)} has infinitely many sign changes or Re a(n) = 0 for all n. The same holds for the sequence {Im a(n)}.     

Infinite type homeomorphisms of the circle and convergence of Fourier series

We consider the problem of convergence of Fourier series when we make a change of variable. Under a certain reasonable hypothesis, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a homeomorphism of the circle to transform absolutely convergent Fourier series into uniformly convergent Fourier series.

Inverse modeling of a solar collector involving Fourier and non-Fourier heat conduction

This article applies the golden section search method (GSSM), simplex search method (SSM) and differential evolution (DE) for predicting the unknown Fourier number (Fo), Vernotte number (Ve) and non-dimensional solar heat flux (S¹) in a flat-plate solar collector when subjected to a given temperature requirement. The required temperature field is calculated using an analytical forward method by considering Fourier and non-Fourier heat conduction, and using this, the inverse problem is solved to predict the Fo, Ve and S¹ which are assumed to be the unknown parameters. The study reveals that the temperature field is highly sensitive to the Fo, thus even a small error in the temperature measurement can result in an unrealistic estimation of heating time of the collector. The present study is proposed to be useful in determining the time, the time lag and solar heat flux for controlled heating of an absorber plate within a stipulated time, which will be required to attain a prescribed/desired temperature distribution. Additionally, the study also shows that subjected to different time levels, the same temperature distribution is possible through different absorber plate materials. It has been observed from the present study that apart from SSM and DE, GSSM fails to estimate the unknown parameters at large value of Ve and small value of Fo, due to the associated fluctuation in the measured temperature field. The present study further discusses the computational performance of direct search method (e.g. GSSM and SSM) with that of the evolutionary method (DE) in terms of the maximum number of iteration and CPU time required to achieve the desired objective.     

Clifford algebras,Fourier transforms,and quantum mechanics

In this review, we give an overview of several recent generalizations of the Fourier transform, related to either the Lie algebra or the Lie superalgebra . In the former case, one obtains scalar generalizations of the Fourier transform, including the fractional Fourier transform, the Dunkl transform, the radially deformed Fourier transform, and the super Fourier transform. In the latter case, one has to use the framework of Clifford analysis and arrives at the Clifford–Fourier transform and the radially deformed hypercomplex Fourier transform. A detailed exposition of all these transforms is given, with emphasis on aspects such as eigenfunctions and spectrum of the transform, characterization of the integral kernel, and connection with various special functions.

Fourier algebra of a hypergroup – II. Spherical hypergroups

We in this article, introduce a class of hypergroups called ultraspherical hypergroups and show that the Fourier space of an ultraspherical hypergroup forms a Banach algebra under pointwise product. These hypergroups need not be commutative and include for example double coset hypergroups. We also show that the structure space of this algebra equals the underlying hypergroup.

Convergence of Double Fourier Series after a Change of Variable

In this paper, we prove that for any compact set there exists a homeomorphism of the closed interval such that for an arbitrary function f the Fourier series of the function F(x,y) = f((x),(y)) converges uniformly on simultaneously over rectangles, over spheres, and over triangles.
