Some uncertainty inequalities (Q807914): Difference between revisions

The uncertainty inequality on \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\) is that \[ \| | x| f\|_ 2\| (-\Delta)^{1/2}f\|_ 2\geq n/2 \] for all normalized \(L^ 2\)-functions f, where \(((-\Delta)^{1/2}f)^{{\hat{\;}}}(\xi)=| \xi | \hat f(\xi).\) In this paper the above uncertainty inequality is proved for the Hermite and Laguerre expansions and for the Heisenberg group. All these results are proved in the same manner in \textit{G. B. Folland}: ``Lectures on partial differential equations'' (1983; Zbl 0529.35005).
