A generalized Fourier transform and convolution on time scales (Q2470486)

The authors develop some important Fourier analysis tools in the context of time scales. A generalized Fourier transform is presented in this context as well as a critical inversion result. This leads directly to a convolution for signals on two (possibly distinct) time scales as well as several natural classes of time scales which arise in this setting: dilated, closed under addition, and additively idempotent. The properties of these time scales are studied and the utility of these concepts for discrete convolution, Mellin convolution, and transformations of a random variable is demonstrated.
