Fourier transform of exponential over torus

I found the following formula for the Fourier transform on a flat 2-torus, but I don't quite know how to derive it. We have a variable $q=(q_x,q_y) \in [0,2\pi)^2$ and by considering it in polar ...

A curious norm related to the L¹ norm

If $f \in C^0([0,1])$, one can define $$\Vert f \Vert_? = \sup_{J \subset [0,1]} \left\lvert \int_J f \right\rvert,$$ where $J$ runs among all subintervals of $[0,1]$. This is a norm on $C^0([0,1])$ (...

Is there a way to solve this integral on the sphere explicitly?

Let $k_{j}\in {\mathbb{Z}}^{+}$ and $\,a_{j}\in \,]0,1[$, be such that $k_{j}\,a_{j}<1$, $j=1,\cdots,n$. Let $f:\mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow [0,\infty[$ be defined by the integral $$f(y):=\int_{\...

Closed formula for iterated Fourier series

I'm trying to obtain a closed formula for the following integral. \begin{align} I_n = {} & \int_0^h \Bigr[\sum_{r_1=1}^\infty a_{1,r} \cos\left(\frac{2\pi}{h} r_1t_1\right) \\[6pt] & {}+ b_{1,...

A curious sin-integral

While contending with a certain Fourier series, I stumbled on an incredibly simple evaluation (numerically) of a slightly complicated-looking sin-integral. So, I wish ask: Question. Is this really ...

Scaling of double convolution

I am interested in the scaling of $$F(x_1,x_4)=\int_{\mathbb R^2} e^{-\vert x_1 -x_2 \vert -\varepsilon \vert x_2 -x_3 \vert- \vert x_3 -x_4 \vert } \ dx_2 dx_3 $$ In particular, I suspect that $$F(...

Non-zero, bounded, continuous, differentiable at the origin, compactly supported functions with everywhere non-negative Fourier transforms

Do there exist functions $F(x) \! : \, \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ which are non-zero and bounded: $$ \mathrm {Range} (F) = [l, u] \, , \quad \mathrm {where} \quad l, u \in \mathbb R \land u > l \, ; \...

This is not a dyadic cosine-product

The double-angle formula, $\sin2x=2\sin x\cos x$, turns the scary-looking integral $$\int_0^{\infty}dz\prod_{k=1}^{\infty}\cos\frac{z}{2^k}$$ into fun once you realize $\prod_k\cos\frac{z}{2^k}=\frac{\...

Is the following integral nonzero?

Recently I met an integral as follow: $$\int_0^{2\pi}\cdots\int_0^{2\pi}\left(\prod\limits_{1\leq i<j\leq9}\sin\frac{\theta_i-\theta_j}{2}\right)\left(\prod\limits_{i=1}^9(1+\cos(\theta_i-\theta_{i+...
