We propose a simpler derivation of the probability density function of Feller Diffusion by using the Fourier Transform on the associated Fokker-Planck equation and then solving the resulting equation via the Method of Characteristics. We use the derived probability density to formulate an exact simulation algorithm whereby a sample path increment is drawn directly from the density. We then proceed to use the simulation to verify key statistical properties of the process such as the moments and the martingale property. The simulation is also used to confirm properties related to hitting time probabilities. We also mention potential applications of the simulation in the setting of quantitative finance.

This paper investigates the escape of photodetached electron from a nanocircular microcavity on the basis of the semiclassical theory. The escaped orbit of the photodetached electron is investigated and the escaped probability density of this system is derived and calculated. The calculation results suggest that oscillating structures appear in the escaped probability density, which are caused by the interference effects of the electron waves traveling along different escaped trajectories. Our study also suggests that the escaped probability density of the photodetached electron depends on the laser polarization sensitively. To show the correspondence between the escaped probability density and the detached electron’s escaped orbits clearly, we calculate the Fourier transform of the semiclassical wave function and find each peak corresponds to the length of one detached electron’s orbit. We hope that our results will be useful in understanding the escape and transport process of particles through semiconductor microjunctions.

The focused signal obtained by the time-reversal or the cross-correlation techniques of ultrasonic guided waves in plates changes when the medium is subject to strain, which can be used to monitor the medium strain level. In this paper, the sensitivity to strain of cross-correlated signals is enhanced by a post-processing filtering procedure aiming to preserve only strain-sensitive spectrum components. Two different strategies were adopted, based on the phase of either the Fourier transform or the short-time Fourier transform. Both use prior knowledge of the system impulse response at some strain level. The technique was evaluated in an aluminum plate, effectively providing up to twice higher sensitivity to strain. The sensitivity increase depends on a phase threshold parameter used in the filtering process. Its performance was assessed based on the sensitivity gain, the loss of energy concentration capability, and the value of the foreknown strain. Signals synthesized with the time–frequency representation, through the short-time Fourier transform, provided a better tradeoff between sensitivity gain and loss of energy concentration.

Abstract In this paper, we discuss how to partially determine the Fourier transform F ⁢ ( z ) = ∫ - 1 1 f ⁢ ( t ) ⁢ e i ⁢ z ⁢ t ⁢ 𝑑 t , z ∈ ℂ , F(z)=\int_{-1}^{1}f(t)e^{izt}\,dt,\quad z\in\mathbb{C}, given the data | F ⁢ ( z ) | {\lvert F(z)\rvert} or arg ⁡ F ⁢ ( z ) {\arg F(z)} for z ∈ ℝ {z\in\mathbb{R}} . Initially, we assume [ - 1 , 1 ] {[-1,1]} to be the convex hull of the support of the signal f. We start with reviewing the computation of the indicator function and indicator diagram of a finite-typed complex-valued entire function, and then connect to the spectral invariant of F ⁢ ( z ) {F(z)} . Then we focus to derive the unimodular part of the entire function up to certain non-uniqueness. We elaborate on the translation of the signal including the non-uniqueness associates of the Fourier transform. We show that the phase retrieval and magnitude retrieval are conjugate problems in the scattering theory of waves.

AbstractIn this paper we continue the study of the spaces $${\mathcal O}_{M,\omega }({\mathbb R}^N)$$ O M , ω ( R N ) and $${\mathcal O}_{C,\omega }({\mathbb R}^N)$$ O C , ω ( R N ) undertaken in Albanese and Mele (J Pseudo-Differ Oper Appl, 2021). We determine new representations of such spaces and we give some structure theorems for their dual spaces. Furthermore, we show that $${\mathcal O}'_{C,\omega }({\mathbb R}^N)$$ O C , ω ′ ( R N ) is the space of convolutors of the space $${\mathcal S}_\omega ({\mathbb R}^N)$$ S ω ( R N ) of the $$\omega $$ ω -ultradifferentiable rapidly decreasing functions of Beurling type (in the sense of Braun, Meise and Taylor) and of its dual space $${\mathcal S}'_\omega ({\mathbb R}^N)$$ S ω ′ ( R N ) . We also establish that the Fourier transform is an isomorphism from $${\mathcal O}'_{C,\omega }({\mathbb R}^N)$$ O C , ω ′ ( R N ) onto $${\mathcal O}_{M,\omega }({\mathbb R}^N)$$ O M , ω ( R N ) . In particular, we prove that this isomorphism is topological when the former space is endowed with the strong operator lc-topology induced by $${\mathcal L}_b({\mathcal S}_\omega ({\mathbb R}^N))$$ L b ( S ω ( R N ) ) and the last space is endowed with its natural lc-topology.
