An uncertainty principle for Hankel transforms

From MaRDI portal





There exists a generalized Hankel transform of order \(\alpha \geq-1/2\) on \(\mathbb{R}\), which is based on the eigenfunctions of the Dunkl operator \[ T_\alpha f(x)= f'(x) +\left(\alpha +{1\over 2} \right) {f(x)- f(-x) \over x}, \quad f\in C^1 (\mathbb{R}). \] For \(\alpha=-1/2\) this transform coincides with the usual Fourier transform on \(\mathbb{R}\). In this paper the operator \(T_\alpha\) replaces the usual first derivative in order to obtain a sharp uncertainty principle for generalized Hankel transforms on \(\mathbb{R}\). It generalizes the classical Weyl-Heisenberg uncertainty principle for the position and momentum operators on \(L^2 (\mathbb{R})\); moreover, it implies a Weyl-Heisenberg inequality for the classical Hankel transform of arbitrary order \(\alpha \geq-1/2\) on \([0,\infty[\).
