When are Fourier coefficients monotonic?

Given some sufficiently smooth function $f$ what conditions would be sufficient for its Fourier coefficients, as defined by $$ \hat{f}(n) := \int_{0}^{2\pi}\cos(nx)f(x)\ dx, \quad \text{for } n = 1,2,\...

Fourier transform of $f_a(x)= a^{-2}\exp(-|x|^a)$, $a \in (0,2)$, is decreasing in $a$

Can one show that Fourier transform of $$ f_a(x) = a^{-2} \exp(-|x|^a), \qquad a \in (0,2)$$ is decreasing in $a$? I have a solution for $a \in (0,1]$ which cannot be used for $a\in (1,2)$.

How to construct non-abelian functions?

I have found some functions $t_g, g \in G$ for cyclic groups $G=C_n$ which seem to satisfy the following convolution identity: $$t_g(x+y) = \sum_{h \in G} t_{gh^{-1}}(x) t_h(y)$$ Example of such ...

Laplace transform injectivity for different values of $p$

Let $y\in L^{2}(0,1)$ and let $\widetilde{y}$ be its extension on $(0,\infty ).$ Assume that there exist $p_{0},p_{1}\in %TCIMACRO{\U{2102} }% %BeginExpansion \mathbb{C} %EndExpansion ,$ $p_{0}\neq ...
