Spectral Functions for the Vector-Valued Fourier Transform

الملخص EN

A scalar distribution function σ(s) is called a spectral function for the Fourier transform φ^(s)=∫Reitsφ(t)dt (with respect to an interval I⊂R) if for each function φ∈L2(R) with support in I the Parseval identity ∫Rφ^s2dσ(s)=∫Rφt2dt holds.

We show that in the case I=R there exists a unique spectral function σ(s)=(1/2π)s, in which case the above Parseval identity turns into the classical one.

On the contrary, in the case of a finite interval I=(0,b), there exist infinitely many spectral functions (with respect to I).

We introduce also the concept of the matrix-valued spectral function σ(s) (with respect to a system of intervals {I1,I2,…,In}) for the vector-valued Fourier transform of a vector-function φ(t)={φ1(t),φ2(t),…,φn(t)}∈L2(I,Cn), such that support of φj lies in Ij.

The main result is a parametrization of all matrix (in particular scalar) spectral functions σ(s) for various systems of intervals {I1,I2,…,In}.
