Author(s):

If F(f) denotes the Fourier transform of a generalized function f and f * g denotes the convolution product of two generalized functions f and g then it is known that under certain conditionsJones (2) states that this is not true in general and gives as a counter-example the case when f = g = H, H denoting Heaviside's function. In this caseand the product (x−1 – iπδ)2 is not defined in his development of the product of generalized functions.

AbstractWe use a simple approximation method to prove the Holder continuity of the generalized de Rham functions.1. Consider the following dilatation equationwhere |α|<l/2. Suppose that f is an integrable solution of (1); then f must satisfywhere is the Fourier transform of f, andwhich immediately leads to

This note is concerned with a method by which generalized solutions can be shown to exist for certain types of integral equationswhere f(x) ∈ L2(0, ∞). The method is briefly this. An extended meaning is given to such equations by using generalized functions of a particular type. Then, if (1) denotes a transformation which has no everywhere-defined inverse in the usual sense, it may be possible to define in the extended sense an inverse transformationso that if f is given, a generalized function g = can be determined as a solution of (1).

Let M be a smooth manifold in . One may ask whether , the restriction of the Fourier transform of f to M makes sense for every f in . Since, for does not make sense pointwise, it is natural to introduce a measure σ on M and ask for an inequalityfor every f in (say) the Schwartz class. Results of this kind are called restriction theorems. An excellent survey article on this subject is to be found in Tomas[13].

1. Introduction. One of the basic objects of study in harmonic analysis is the Fourier transform (or Fourier-Stieltjes transform) μ of a bounded (complex) measure μ on the real line R:(1.1)More generally, if μ is a bounded measure on a locally compact abelian group G, then its Fourier transform is the function(1.2)where Ĝ is the dual group of G and One answer to the question “Which functions can be represented as Fourier transforms of bounded measures?” was given by the following criterion due to Schoenberg [11] for the real line and Eberlein [5] in general: f is a Fourier transform of a bounded measure if and only if there is a constant M such that(1.3)for all ϕ ∈ L1(G) where

The Fourier transform of the surface measure on the unit sphere in Rn + 1, as is well-known, equals the Bessel functionIts behaviour at infinity is described by an asymptotic expansionThe purpose of this paper is to obtain such an expression for surfaces Σ other than the unit sphere. If the surface Σ is a sufficiently smooth compact n-surface in Rn + 1 with strictly positive Gaussian curvature everywhere then with only minor changes in the main term, such an asymptotic expansion exists. This result was proved by E. Hlawka in [3]. A similar result concerned with the minimal smoothness of Σ was later obtained by C. Herz [2].

Let an integral transform T﹛f﹜ of a complex valued function f(x) defined over the interval (0, ∞) be defined as One of the most usual procedures to extend the classical transform (l.a) to generalized functions consists in constructing a space A of testing functions over (0, ∞) which is closed with respect to the classical transform (l.a) and then the corresponding transform of the generalized function/ of the dual space of A is defined through This approach has been followed by L. Schwartz [13] and A. H. Zemanian [20], amongst others.

In this paper, we relate Poisson&rsquo;s summation formula to Heisenberg&rsquo;s uncertainty principle. They both express Fourier dualities within the space of tempered distributions and these dualities are furthermore the inverses of one another. While Poisson&rsquo;s summation formula expresses a duality between discretization and periodization, Heisenberg&rsquo;s uncertainty principle expresses a duality between regularization and localization. We define regularization and localization on generalized functions and show that the Fourier transform of regular functions are local functions and, vice versa, the Fourier transform of local functions are regular functions.
