An introduction to the distorted Fourier transform

From MaRDI portal





The paper deals with the distorted Fourier transform (dFT) associated with the Schrödinger operator. The dFT is defined as \N\[\N\hat f(\lambda) = \int_0^{\infty} f(x) \varphi(x,\lambda)\, dx,\N\]\Nwhere \(\varphi(x,\lambda)\) is the solution of the Schrödinger equation \N\[\N-y + V(x) y = \lambda y, \quad x > 0,\N\]\Nsatisfying the initial conditions \(\varphi(0,\lambda) = 0\), \(\varphi'(0,\lambda) = 1\).\N\NThe paper provides an introduction and a brief overview on this topic. The authors present the basics of the classical Weyl-Titchimarsh theory, obtain the Plancherel and inversion theorems for dFT by using Stone's formula, and discuss the applications of dFT. Furthermore, the cases of Bessel and Coulomb potentials are considered. The Schrödinger operators on the full line are also discussed.
