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{...

Function that is (essentially) a self-convolution but not a multiple of a self-convolution
Call a function $F:\mathbb{R}\to C$ nice if it is of the form $F = f\ast \tilde{f}$, where $\tilde{f}(x) = \overline{f(-x)}$. (Of course nice functions are precisely those whose Fourier transform is ...

Functions such that the *integral* of the Fourier transform is non-negative?
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be in $L^1$, with its Fourier transform $\widehat{f}$ also in $L^1$. What is a necessary and sufficient condition on $f$ so that
$$\int_{-\infty}^x \widehat{f}(t) dt \...

Three optimization problems of uncertainty principle/Paley-Wiener type
Let $\phi:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be an even function with support on $[-1,1]$. Assume that it is in $L^1\cap L^2$ and that its Fourier transform is also in $L^1\cap L^2$. Assume as well that $|\phi|...

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{...

For $\Phi$ a majorant of $1_{[-1/2,1/2]}$, how small can the total variation of $\widehat\Phi$ be?
Let $\Phi:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a real-valued, symmetric, non-negative function such that $\Phi(t)\geq 1$ for $|t|\leq 1/2$. Assume furthermore that $\Phi$ and $\widehat\Phi$ are both in $L^1\...

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 ...

Fourier coeffients of Cantor measure
For $0<\theta<\frac{1}{2}$, denote by $\mu_\theta$ the uniform Cantor measure with dissection ratio $\theta$. It is not hard to show that the Fourier–Stieltjes transform of $\mu_\theta$ is

For which sets $E\subset \mathbb{Z}_n$ is $\widehat{1(E)}$ nonzero everywhere?
I apologise if this is well-known or straightforward.
Define the Fourier transform of the characteristic function of a subset $E\subseteq\mathbb{Z}_n$ by

On uniform or simple convergence of Poisson Summation formula
Under good conditions on an even function $f(x)$ we have the Poisson Summation formula ($x>0$):
$$f(0) + 2 \sum\limits_{n =1}^{\infty} f(nx)= \frac{1}{x} \left( \hat{f}(0) + 2 \sum\limits_{n =1}^{\...

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)...

Is there a Poisson Summation formula for imprimitive Dirichlet characters?
I was wondering if there exists a Poisson Summation formula (like the one existing with primitive character) for imprimitive Dirichlet characters ?
For a primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$ we have:

Extension of Poisson Summation formula
Under the condition f continuous, integrable and:
$|f(t)| + |\hat{f}(t)| \le C (1+|t|)^{-1-a}$ (with a>0)
we have the twisted Poisson formula that holds (where $\chi(n)$ is a primitive Dirichlet ...
