Paley‐Wiener‐Type theorems for the Clifford‐Fourier transform

In the framework of Clifford analysis, we consider the Paley‐Wiener type theorems for a generalized Clifford‐Fourier transform. This Clifford‐Fourier transform is given by a similar operator exponential as the classical Fourier transform but containing generators of Lie superalgebra.     

Clifford Fourier Transformation and Uncertainty Principle for the Clifford Geometric Algebra Cl 3,0

First, the basic concept of the vector derivative in geometric algebra is introduced. Second, beginning with the Fourier transform on a scalar function we generalize to a real Fourier transform on Clifford multivector-valued functions Third, we show a set of important properties of the Clifford Fourier transform on Cl_3,0 such as differentiation properties, and the Plancherel theorem. Finally, we apply the Clifford Fourier transform properties for proving an uncertainty principle for Cl_3,0 multivector functions.     

The Mehler Formula for the Generalized Clifford-Hermite Polynomials

The Mehler formula for the Hermite polynomials allows for an integral representation of the one-dimensional Fractional Fourier transform. In this paper, we introduce a multi-dimensional Fractional Fourier transform in the framework of Clifford analysis. By showing that it coincides with the classical tensorial approach we are able to prove Mehler＇s formula for the generalized Clifford-Hermite polynomials of Clifford analysis.     

Fourier transform and related integral transforms in superspace

In this paper extensions of the classical Fourier, fractional Fourier and Radon transforms to superspace are studied. Previously, a Fourier transform in superspace was already studied, but with a different kernel. In this work, the fermionic part of the Fourier kernel has a natural symplectic structure, derived using a Clifford analysis approach. Several basic properties of these three transforms are studied. Using suitable generalizations of the Hermite polynomials to superspace (see [H. De Bie, F. Sommen, Hermite and Gegenbauer polynomials in superspace using Clifford analysis, J. Phys. A 40 (2007) 10441-10456]) an eigenfunction basis for the Fourier transform is constructed.     

Windowed Fourier transform of two-dimensional quaternionic signals

In this paper, we generalize the classical windowed Fourier transform (WFT) to quaternion-valued signals, called the quaternionic windowed Fourier transform (QWFT). Using the spectral representation of the quaternionic Fourier transform (QFT), we derive several important properties such as reconstruction formula, reproducing kernel, isometry, and orthogonality relation. Taking the Gaussian function as window function we obtain quaternionic Gabor filters which play the role of coefficient functions when decomposing the signal in the quaternionic Gabor basis. We apply the QWFT properties and the (right-sided) QFT to establish a Heisenberg type uncertainty principle for the QWFT. Finally, we briefly introduce an application of the QWFT to a linear time-varying system.     

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.

The Higher Dimensional Hermite Transform: A New Approach

In this article we expand the filter functions of the classical Hermite transform into the Clifford-Hermite polynomials. Furthermore, we construct a new higher dimensional Hermite transform within the framework of Clifford analysis using the radial and generalized Clifford-Hermite polynomials. Finally we compare this newly introduced Clifford-Hermite transform with the Clifford-Hermite Continuous Wavelet transform.     

Real Paley-Wiener theorems for the Clifford Fourier transform

Associated with the Dirac operator and partial derivatives, this paper establishes some real Paley-Wiener type theorems to characterize the Clifford-valued functions whose Clifford Fourier transform (CFT) has compact support. Based on the Riemann-Lebesgue theorem for the CFT, the Boas theorem is provided to describe the CFT of Clifford-valued functions that vanish on a neighborhood of the origin.     

Generalized prolate spheroidal wave functions for offset linear canonical transform in Clifford analysis

Prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs) possess many remarkable properties. They are orthogonal basis of both square integrable space of finite interval and the Paley–Wiener space of bandlimited functions on the real line. No other system of classical orthogonal functions is known to obey this unique property. This raises the question of whether they possess these properties in Clifford analysis. The aim of the article is to answer this question and extend the results to more flexible integral transforms, such as offset linear canonical transform. We also illustrate how to use the generalized Clifford PSWFs (for offset Clifford linear canonical transform) we derive to analyze the energy preservation problems. Clifford PSWFs is new in literature and has some consequences that are now under investigation. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Some Generalized Clifford-Jacobi Polynomials and Associated Spheroidal Wavelets

In the present paper, by extending some fractional calculus to the framework of Clifford analysis, new classes of wavelet functions are presented. Firstly, some classes of monogenic polynomials are provided based on 2-parameters weight functions which extend the classical Jacobi ones in the context of Clifford analysis. The discovered polynomial sets are next applied to introduce new wavelet functions. Reconstruction formula as well as Fourier-Plancherel rules have been proved. The main tool reposes on the extension of fractional derivatives, fractional integrals and fractional Fourier transforms to Clifford analysis.     

On the Windowed Fourier Transform and Wavelet Transform of Almost Periodic Functions

We present the windowed Fourier transform and wavelet transform as tools for analyzing persistent signals, such as bounded power signals and almost periodic functions. We establish the analogous Parseval-type identities. We consider discretized versions of these transforms and construct generalized frame decompositions. Finally, we bring out some relations with shift-invariant operators and linear systems.     

The Clifford-Fourier Transform {\mathcal {F}_o} and Monogenic Extensions

In the last decade several versions of the Fourier transform have been formulated in the framework of Clifford algebra. We present a (Clifford-Fourier) transform, constructed using the geometric properties of Clifford algebra. We show the corresponding results of operational calculus, and a connection between the Fourier transform and this new transform. We obtain a technique to construct monogenic extensions of a certain type of continuous functions, and versions of the Paley-Wiener theorems are formulated.     

Clifford-Hermite-monogenic operators

In this paper we consider operators acting on a subspace ℳ of the space L ₂ (ℝ^m; ℂ_m) of square integrable functions and, in particular, Clifford differential operators with polynomial coefficients. The subspace ℳ is defined as the orthogonal sum of spaces ℳ_s,k of specific Clifford basis functions of L ₂(ℝ^m; ℂm). Every Clifford endomorphism of ℳ can be decomposed into the so-called Clifford-Hermite-monogenic operators. These Clifford-Hermite-monogenic operators are characterized in terms of commutation relations and they transform a space ℳ_s,k into a similar space ℳ_s′,k′. Hence, once the Clifford-Hermite-monogenic decomposition of an operator is obtained, its action on the space ℳ is known. Furthermore, the monogenic decomposition of some important Clifford differential operators with polynomial coefficients is studied in detail.     

Clifford Algebra-Valued Wavelet Transform on Multivector Fields

This paper presents a construction of the n = 2 (mod 4) Clifford algebra Cl _n,0-valued admissible wavelet transform using the admissible similitude group SIM(n), a subgroup of the affine group of \mathbbRⁿ{\mathbb{R}^{n}} . We express the admissibility condition in terms of the Cl _n,0 Clifford Fourier transform (CFT). We show that its fundamental properties such as inner product, norm relation, and inversion formula can be established whenever the Clifford admissible wavelet satisfies a particular admissibility condition. As an application we derive a Heisenberg type uncertainty principle for the Clifford algebra Cl _n,0-valued admissible wavelet transform. Finally, we provide some basic examples of these extended wavelets such as Clifford Morlet wavelets and Clifford Hermite wavelets.

Some remarks on “On the windowed Fourier transform and wavelet transform of almost periodic functions,” by J.R. Partington and B. Ünalmı

J.R. Partington and B. Ünalmı consider in their 2001 paper [J.R. Partington, B. Ünalmı , Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 10 (1) (2001) 45–60] the windowed Fourier transform and wavelet transform as tools for analyzing almost periodic signals. They establish Parseval-type identities and consider discretized versions of these transforms in order to construct generalized frame decompositions. We have found a gap in the construction of generalized frames in the windowed Fourier transform case; we comment on this gap and give an alternative proof. As for the wavelet transform case, in [J.R. Partington, B. Ünalmı , Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 10 (1) (2001) 45–60] the generalized frame decomposition is done only for the simplest wavelet, the Haar wavelet; we show how to construct generalized frame decompositions for a wide family of wavelets.     

Generalized Frames in the Space of Strong Limit Power Functions

By using the existence of a larger orthonormal basis, the space of strong limit power functions is extended. We use the windowed Fourier transform and wavelet transform to analyze strong limit power signals and we construct generalized frame decompositions using the discretized versions of these transforms.     

A matrix Hilbert transform in Hermitean Clifford analysis

Orthogonal Clifford analysis is a higher dimensional function theory offering both a generalization of complex analysis in the plane and a refinement of classical harmonic analysis. During the last years, Hermitean Clifford analysis has emerged as a new and successful branch of it, offering yet a refinement of the orthogonal case. Recently in [F. Brackx, B. De Knock, H. De Schepper, D. Peña Peña, F. Sommen, submitted for publication], a Hermitean Cauchy integral was constructed in the framework of circulant (2×2) matrix functions. In the present paper, a new Hermitean Hilbert transform is introduced, arising naturally as part of the non-tangential boundary limits of that Hermitean Cauchy integral. The resulting matrix operator is shown to satisfy properly adapted analogues of the characteristic properties of the Hilbert transform in classical analysis and orthogonal Clifford analysis.
