The representation of functions (or objects which are in some generalize the notion of function) as constant linear combinations of sines and cosines at integer multiples of a given frequency, as Fourier transforms or as Fourier integrals.

When I can safely assume that a function is a Laplace transform of other function?

The answer depends on the class of functions $\phi(t):(0,\infty)\to\mathbb R$ where you want to define the Laplace transform. A standard assumption is that $$e^{-ct}\phi(t)\in L^2(0,\infty)\tag{1}\lab …

Why is Fourier analysis so handy for proving the isoperimetric inequality?

I'd like to add a few words on what happens in higher dimensions. First, a convexity assumption becomes essential (as in the second proof of Hurwitz which works only for convex domains). The isoperime …

Decay of the Fourier transform

This is not true without additional integrability conditions on $f(\cdot+iy)$. $\hat{f}(w)=o(e^{-a|w|})$ implies that $e^{b|w|}\hat{f}(w)\in L_2(\mathbb{R})$ for all $b < a$. The latter inclusion h …

Fourier transform of fractional differential operator and Plancherel formula equivalent for ...

I'd like to add a little bit to the answers by Dick Palais and Denis Serre. The standard way to define a fractional derivative of order $\alpha>0$ on the real axis is via the Riemann-Liouville integr …

Why do Littlewood-Paley projections behave like iid random variables

There is a quantitative way to express the somewhat vague notion of "almost independence of the Littlewood-Paley projections". Let $\mathcal F_n$, $n\in\mathbb Z$, be the minimal $\sigma$-algebra gene …
