Is it possible that a system of differential equation has a solution in time domain but not in Fourier domain? If so, why does it happen?
I have to solve
\begin{align}
&\frac{\partial h'_{1,1m}(t,r)}{\partial t} + \frac{2}{r} h_{1,1m}(t,r) = 0 \label{beta_0_1}\\
&\frac{\partial^2 h_{1,1m}(t,r)}{\partial t^2} = 0. \label{...

Motivation and physical interpretation of the Laplace transform
Concerning the one-sided Laplace transform,
$$\mathcal{L}\{f\}(s) = \int_0^\infty f(t)e^{-st} dt$$
what is a motivation to come up with that formula? I am particularly interested in "physical&...

The Fourier transform of the Liouville function?
The Liouville function in number theory is defined as:
$$\lambda(n) := (-1)^{\Omega(n)} \text{ where } \Omega(n) := \sum_{p|n} v_p(n)$$
Taking the discrete time Fourier transform and then taking the ...

Find an integral kernel for the solution of a partial differential equation: an initial value problem
Consider the following partial differential equation with an initial condition $u(x,0)=f(x)$:
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial}{\partial t} u(x,t)=g_{1}(x)\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+g_{2}(x)\frac{\...

A generalization of Weierstrass transform
As stated in this article, the Weierstrass transform of $f(x)$ is defined as:
\begin{equation}
W[f](x)=\frac{1}{4\pi}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}f(y)e^{-\frac{(x-y)^{2}}{4}}dy
\end{equation}
which can be ...

Solving an equation of function
How to solve, or at least how to proceed to solve, the following equation for $g(u)$
$$\int_0^{\infty} \{1-\cos(2\pi uh)\} g(u)du = (1+h^{\alpha})^{\beta/\alpha} -1?$$
Here $0<\alpha\leq2$ and $-\...

When is $|\int_a^b \exp(-izx)f(x) \, \mathrm{d}x| \leq |\int_a^b f(x) \, \mathrm{d}x|$ for a general $f$? [closed]
Obviously, if $f(x) \geq 0 $ on $(a,b)$, the above claim is trivial. We also see that if $a = -\infty, b = \infty$, above is claiming that $|\hat{f}(z)| \leq |\hat{f}(0)|$ for all real $z$, where $\...
