A sparse approximation for fractional Fourier transform (Q6561372)

This papers deals with the fractional Fourier transform of the form for \(\alpha\in[-\pi,\pi]\):\N\[\N\wedge_{\alpha}f(\xi) := \int_{\mathbb{R}} K_{\alpha}(x,\xi)f(x)dx, \quad f\in\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}),\N\]\Nwhere the kernel \(K_{\alpha}(x,\xi)\) is defined as follows\N\[\NK_{\alpha}(x,\xi) := \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \displaystyle A_{\alpha}\mathrm{exp}\left(i\frac{(x^{2}+\xi^{2})\cot\alpha}{2}-i\frac{x\xi}{\sin\alpha}\right), & \mbox{if } 0<|\alpha|<\pi, \\\N\delta(\xi-x), & \mbox{if } \alpha=0, \\\N\delta(\xi+x), & \mbox{if } \alpha=\pm\pi, \end{array} \right.\N\]\Nwith\N\[\NA_{\alpha} = \frac{e^{i\left(\mathrm{sgn}(\sin\alpha)\pi/4 - \alpha/2\right)}}{\sqrt{2\pi|\sin\alpha|}};\N\]\Nhence, \(K_{\alpha}\) can also be viewed as \(2\pi\)-periodic for \(\alpha\).\par The authors propose a new sparse approximation for fractional Fourier transform, which is based on adaptive Fourier decomposition in Hardy-Hilbert space on the upper half-plane. Under this methodology, the local polynomial Fourier transform characterisation of Hardy space is established, which is an analogue of the Paley-Wiener theorem.
