What is the asymptotics of the Fourier transform of $\exp(-x^4)$ for large wave numbers?
The Fourier transform of $\exp(-x^4)$ has an analytical expression, it's the difference of two generalized hypergeometric functions:
$\int d x \ e^{-x^4} e^{ikx} = 2 \ \Gamma(\frac{5}{4}) \ _0F_2(;\...

Rate of decrease of the Fourier transform of standard mollifiers
What is the the rate of decrease of $|\widehat{f_p}(t)|$ (as $t\to\infty$), where $p\in(0,\infty)$,
$$\widehat{f_p}(t):=\int_{\mathbb R} e^{itx}f_p(x)\,dx,$$
and
$$f_p(x):=e^{-1/(1-x^2/p)^p}1(|x|<\...

When does the Fourier transform of a measure decay?
Let $\mu$ be a Borel measure on $\Bbb R^d$.
It is well known that $\mu= |f|dx$ with $f\in L^1(\Bbb R^d)$ then its Fourier transform satisfies
$$\widehat{\mu}(\xi)\to0,\qquad \xi\to\infty.$$
However if ...

Branch cuts, inverse Fourier transform and large time asymptotics
Let the Fourier transform of $f(t)$ be defined as $F(\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty dt f(t) e^{i\omega t}$ for values of $\omega$ where the integral exists. What are the precise conditions on $F(\...

Asymptotic expansion inverse discrete Fourier transform
Let $\ell^1(\mathbb{Z})$ be the space of biinfinite sequences $f = (f(n))_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} \subset \mathbb{C}$ such that it is absolutely summable. The discrete Fourier transform or Fourier series ...
