Laplace Transform in the context of Gelfand/Pontryagin

Questions: Is there a class of objects (presumably related to locally compact abelian groups) for which the quasi-characters canonically generalize the Laplace transform? If not, is there a ...

Clarification on the Interpretation of Fourier Coefficients in the Context of Fourier Projections

I am currently studying a paper (Section 3.4.3 of Lanthaler, Mishra, and Karniadakis - Error estimates for DeepONets: a deep learning framework in infinite dimensions) where the authors define an ...

When some Fourier coefficients are fixed, can we control the extremals of the function?

Let $n$ be a odd number. Does there exist any $2\pi$-periodic continuous function $f :\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ such that the following points simultaneously hold? 1- $-n\lneqq f_{\min}$ (where $f_{\...

$|\partial $ as Fourier multiplier

I have the following nonlinear dispersive PDEs $$i \partial_t u- \partial_x^2 u =|\partial_x| |u|^2$$ where $f$ is some nice complex-valued function. I am trying to use the ansatz $u(t,x) = e^{i \...

A problem arising from Wiener-Levy theorem on the real line

Theorem (Wiener-Levy). Let $A(\mathbb{T})$ be the Fourier-algebra on the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$. Let $f$ be in $A(\mathbb{T})$ and suppose that $F$ is an analytic function on the range of $f$. Then $...

The sign of the tail of Fourier transform of a positive function/ characteristic function

I am interested in a specific density (positive function) and would like to prove that the tail of its characteristic function (Fourier transform) is positive ($>0$). Here is the density $f(x)=c_\...

Fourier transform either changes sign infinitely often far out or is continuous at $x=0$

I am reading a book "Fourier Series and Integrals" by Dym & McKean. There is an exercise (Page 106): Exercise: Check that if $f$ is a real, even, summable function and if $f(0+)$ and $f(0-)$...

Reference request: Fourier transform on the multiplicative group of real numbers

Let us consider the three groups $(\mathbb{R},+)$, $(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z},+)$ and $(\mathbb{R}^\times,\cdot)$ (where $\mathbb{R}^\times := \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\}$). We endow $\mathbb{R}$ with ...

Inequality about the Fourier transform: $\Vert u \Vert_{L^k} \le \Vert \mathcal{F}(u) \Vert_{L^m}$ (where $1 \le m \le 2$ and $m,k$ Holder conjugates)

How can I prove the following inequality about the Fourier transform? $$\Vert u \Vert_{L^k(\mathbb{R}^N)} \le \Vert \mathcal{F}(u) \Vert_{L^m(\mathbb{R}^N)}$$ for $1 \le m \le 2$ and $m,k$ Holder ...

Connection between the Fourier transform of f and |f|

If $f\in L^p(R)$ with $1\leq p\leq 2$, then Hausdorff-Young inequality implies that the Fourier transform $\widehat{f}\in L^{p'}$, $p'$ is the dual exponent of $p$, and $$ \|\widehat{f}\|_{L^{p'}}\...
