Lower bounds for the truncated Hilbert transform

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Given two intervals I,JsubsetmathbbR, we ask whether it is possible to reconstruct a real-valued function finL2(I) from knowing its Hilbert transform Hf on J. When neither interval is fully contained in the other, this problem has a unique answer (the nullspace is trivial) but is severely ill-posed. We isolate the difficulty and show that by restricting f to functions with controlled total variation, reconstruction becomes stable. In particular, for functions finH1(I), we show that |Hf|_{L^2(J)} geq c_1 exp{left(-c_2 frac{|f_x|_{L^2(I)}}{|f|_{L^2(I)}} ight)} | f |_{L^2(I)} , for some constants c1,c2>0 depending only on I,J. This inequality is sharp, but we conjecture that |fx|L2(I) can be replaced by |fx|L1(I).
