Fractional fourier transform of generalized functions

From MaRDI portal





The fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) was introduced as a way to solve certain classes of differential equations arising in quantum mechanics. Later it was studied by several mathematicians in different spaces of functions. In the paper under review the author extends the FRFT to spaces of generalized functions. He uses two different approaches, one analytic and the other algebraic. First, the author applies the embedding method to define FRFT of generalized functions with compact supports showing that the kernel of the FRFT belongs to the space \({\mathcal E}\) consisting of all infinitely differentiable functions. He gives some properties of FRFT introduced in such way including an inversion formula. To apply the algebraic method of extension of FRFT to spaces of generalized functions the author first constructs a convolution for this integral transform. Using properties of this convolution the FRFT is defined on the space of integrable Boehmians, which are equivalence classes of quotients of sequences of integrable functions with appropriate equivalence relation. Let us note that Boehmians are more general objects than Schwartz distributions and regular operators. Finally, it is proved that the FRFT defined in this way is a linear transformation from the class of integrable Boehmians into the class of continuous Boehmians.
