What is the asymptotics of the Fourier transform of $\exp(-x^4)$ for large wave numbers?
The Fourier transform of $\exp(-x^4)$ has an analytical expression, it's the difference of two generalized hypergeometric functions:
$\int d x \ e^{-x^4} e^{ikx} = 2 \ \Gamma(\frac{5}{4}) \ _0F_2(;\...

When does the Fourier transform of a measure decay?
Let $\mu$ be a Borel measure on $\Bbb R^d$.
It is well known that $\mu= |f|dx$ with $f\in L^1(\Bbb R^d)$ then its Fourier transform satisfies
$$\widehat{\mu}(\xi)\to0,\qquad \xi\to\infty.$$
However if ...

Branch cuts, inverse Fourier transform and large time asymptotics
Let the Fourier transform of $f(t)$ be defined as $F(\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty dt f(t) e^{i\omega t}$ for values of $\omega$ where the integral exists. What are the precise conditions on $F(\...
