On the autocorrelation and the triple correlation equation for complex-valued signals (Q3044007)

In the first part of the paper the autocorrelation equations \[ \int_{0}^{T-t}p(s)\overline{p(s+t)}ds=h(t),\quad 0<t<T\;(T>0) \] and \[ \int_{0}^{\infty }p(s)\overline{p(s+t)}ds=h(t),\quad t>0 \] for complex-valued functions \(p\) of \(L^{2}\)-class are solved. The equations are reduced to boundary value problems for the Fourier transform of the solution. In the second part the solution \(p\in L(\mathbb{R})\) of the triple correlation equation \[ \int_{-\infty }^{\infty }p(s)p(s+t)p(s+\tau )ds=h(t,\tau ),\quad -\infty <t,\tau <\infty \] is obtained by means of functional equations for the modulus and for the argument. Examples are given for all the equations.
