Fourier decay implies what kind of regularity
We consider a function $f:\mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb C$ that is compactly supported and bounded. In addition, we know that
$$\lim_{\vert x\vert \to \infty} \vert x \vert^2 \vert \hat{f}(x)\vert =0,$$

A curious norm related to the L¹ norm
If $f \in C^0([0,1])$, one can define
$$\Vert f \Vert_? = \sup_{J \subset [0,1]} \left\lvert \int_J f \right\rvert,$$
where $J$ runs among all subintervals of $[0,1]$.
This is a norm on $C^0([0,1])$ (...
