Distribution $f$ such that (a) $\widehat{f}$ has compact support, (b) $\mathbb{E}(|X|)$ is minimal?
(What follows is motivated by an answer to Fourier optimization problem related to the Prime Number Theorem)
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to [0,\infty)$ be such that
(a) $\int_{\mathbb{R}} f(x) dx = 1$,
(b) $\...

Fourier optimization problem related to the Prime Number Theorem
Let $\kappa>0$ be given. What is the function
$f:\mathbb{R}\to [0,\infty)$ with $\int_\mathbb{R} f(x) dx = 1$ such that
$$\int_\mathbb{R} |x| f(x) dx + \kappa \int_{|t|\geq T}\left| \frac{\widehat{...

Fastest decay of Fourier transform of function of (one-sided or two-sided) exponential (or faster) decay
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a function in $L^2$ satisfying $|f(x)|\ll e^{-a_1 x}$, $a_1>0$, for $x\to \infty$. (Variant: assume as well that $|f(x)|\ll e^{a_2 x}$, $a_2>0$, for $x\to -\...

An optimization problem: $\Phi(0)$, $\widehat{\Phi}(0)$, $\Phi$ a majorant
(This is a problem that arose from my own answer to Mean value theorem for Dirichlet series - optimize? )
Let $\Phi:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a real-valued, symmetric, non-negative function such ...

Can we extend the twisted Poisson Summation formula with functions having a singularity in zero?
The following "twisted" Poisson Summation formula for $\chi$ primitive of conductor $q$ :
$$ \sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}\chi(n)f\left(\frac{nx}{\sqrt{q}}\right) =
\frac{A}{x}\sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}\bar\chi(n)...

Uncertainty principle: minimize $\int_{-\infty}^\infty |t| |\widehat{f}(t)|^2 dt$ for $f$ of compact support
This is a question of uncertainty-principle type stemming from Eigenvalue of a convolution and a restriction?
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be even, absolutely continuous and supported in $[-\frac{...
