Marcinkiewicz-summability of multi-dimensional Fourier transforms and Fourier series

A generalization of Marcinkiewicz-summability of multi-dimensional Fourier transforms and Fourier series is investigated with the help of a continuous function θ. Under some weak conditions on θ we show that the maximal operator of the Marcinkiewicz-θ-means of a tempered distribution is bounded from Hp(Xd) to Lp(Xd) for all d/(d+α)<p?∞ and, consequently, is of weak type (1,1), where 0<α?1 is depending only on θ and X=R or X=T. As a consequence we obtain a generalization of a summability result due to Marcinkiewicz and Zhizhiashvili for d-dimensional Fourier transforms and Fourier series, more exactly, the Marcinkiewicz-θ-means of a function f∈L₁(Xd) converge a.e. to f. Moreover, we prove that the Marcinkiewicz-θ-means are uniformly bounded on the spaces Hp(Xd) and so they converge in norm (d/(d+α)<p<∞). Similar results are shown for conjugate functions. Some special cases of the Marcinkiewicz-θ-summation are considered, such as the Fejér, Cesàro, Weierstrass, Picar, Bessel, de La Vallée-Poussin, Rogosinski and Riesz summations.

Norm inequalities for certain classes of functions and their Fourier transforms

We apply tools of interpolation theory and a commutative property of the Hilbert transform to prove necessary and sufficient conditions related to trigonometric series. These results extend and improve related theorems proven by several authors, summarized by Boas. In addition, we explore inequalities and operators, both connected to Hardy's inequalities, on certain classes of functions, including quasimonotone functions.     

Pitt and Boas inequalities for Fourier and Hankel transforms

We prove Pitt and Boas inequalities for products of radial functions and spherical harmonics in Rⁿ${\mathbb{R}}^n$. In the process, we obtain upper and lower estimates of the operator norm of the Hankel transform with power weights. Our inequalities are sharp in some specific cases.     

Fourier transforms of irregular mixed homogeneous hypersurface measures

With the help of Van der Corput lemmas, decay estimates are proven for Fourier transforms of mixed homogeneous hypersurface measures with densities that can be quite irregular. The primary results are local in nature, but can be extended to global theorems in an appropriate sense. The estimates are sharp for a certain range of indices in the theorems.     

Restricted summability of Fourier transforms and local Hardy spaces

A general summability method, the so-called θ-summability is considered for multi-dimensional Fourier transforms. Under some conditions on θ, it is proved that the maximal operator of the θ-means defined in a cone is bounded from the amalgam Hardy space W（hp, e∞） to W（Lp,e∞）. This implies the almost everywhere convergence of the θ-means in a cone for all f ∈ W（L1, e∞） velong to L1.     

Growth properties of Fourier transforms via moduli of continuity

We obtain new inequalities for the Fourier transform, both on Euclidean space, and on non-compact, rank one symmetric spaces. In both cases these are expressed as a gauge on the size of the transform in terms of a suitable integral modulus of continuity of the function. In all settings, the results present a natural corollary: a quantitative form of the Riemann-Lebesgue lemma. A prototype is given in one-dimensional Fourier analysis.     

Dirichlet characters,Gauss sums and arithmetic Fourier transforms

In this paper, a general algorithm for the computation of the Fourier coefficients of 2π-periodic(continuous) functions is developed based on Dirichlet characters, Gauss sums and the generalized M¨obius transform. It permits the direct extraction of the Fourier cosine and sine coefficients. Three special cases of our algorithm are presented. A VLSI architecture is presented and the error estimates are given.

A property of Pisot numbers and Fourier transforms of self-similar measures

For any Pisot number β it is known that the set F (β)={t:lim n→∞‖tβ n‖= 0} is countable,where a is the distance between a real number a and the set of integers.In this paper it is proved that every member in this set is of the form cβ n,where ‖n‖ is a nonnegative integer and c is determined by a linear system of equations.Furthermore,for some self-similar measures μ associated with β,the limit at infinity of the Fourier transforms lim n→∞μ(tβ n)≠0 if and only if t is in a certain subset of F (β).This generalizes a similar result of Huang and Strichartz.     

Local Hardy spaces and summability of Fourier transforms

New Wiener amalgam spaces are introduced for local Hardy spaces. A general summability method, the so-called θ-summability is considered for multi-dimensional Fourier transforms. Under some conditions on θ, it is proved that the maximal operator of the θ-means is bounded from the amalgam space to W(L_p,ℓ_∞). This implies the almost everywhere convergence of the θ-means for all fW(L₁,ℓ_∞)L₁.     

Geronimus spectral transforms and measures on the complex plane

We analyze a special spectral transform of a measure μ supported on a compact subset C of the complex plane. A perturbation μ₁ of μ is said to be a Geronimus spectral transform if where αC. We focus our attention in the analysis of the Hessenberg matrix associated with the multiplication operator in terms of the orthogonal polynomial basis defined by the measure μ₁.     

Inversion formula for the windowed Fourier transform

In this paper, we study the inversion formula for recovering a function from its windowed Fourier transform. We give a rigorous proof for an inversion formula which is known in engineering. We show that the integral involved in the formula is convergent almost everywhere on $\mathbb {R}$ as well as in L^p for all 1 < p < ∞ if the function to be reconstructed is.     

Sparse generalized Fourier transforms

Block-diagonalization of sparse equivariant discretization matrices is studied. Such matrices typically arise when partial differential equations that evolve in symmetric geometries are discretized via the finite element method or via finite differences. By considering sparse equivariant matrices as equivariant graphs, we identify a condition for when block-diagonalization via a sparse variant of a generalized Fourier transform (GFT) becomes particularly simple and fast. Characterizations for finite element triangulations of a symmetric domain are given, and formulas for assembling the block-diagonalized matrix directly are presented. It is emphasized that the GFT preserves symmetric (Hermitian) properties of an equivariant matrix. By simulating the heat equation at the surface of a sphere discretized by an icosahedral grid, it is demonstrated that the block-diagonalization is beneficial. The gain is significant for a direct method, and modest for an iterative method. A comparison with a block-diagonalization approach based upon the continuous formulation is made. It is found that the sparse GFT method is an appropriate way to discretize the resulting continuous subsystems, since the spectrum and the symmetry are preserved.
