FBI Transform - Inversion Formula

Inversion Formula

The Fourier inversion formula

allows a function f to be recovered from its Fourier transform.

In particular

Similarly. at a positive value of a, f(0) can be recovered from the FBI transform of f(x) and xkf(x) by the inversion formula

f(0)= (2\pi)^{-n/2}\int_{{\mathbf R}^n} {\mathcal F}_a (f)(t,0) \, dt + (2\pi)^{-n/2} \int_{{\mathbf R}^n} \sum_{k=1}^n {2ait_k\over |t|} \cdot {\mathcal F}_a (x_kf)(t,0)\, dt.

This formula can be proved by calculating the coefficients of am in the analytic function of a defined by the right hand side. These coefficients can be expressed in terms of the Fourier transform, the Euler operator

and the Laplacian operator

and easily computed using integration by parts.

Famous quotes containing the word formula:

    ““It’s hard enough to adjust [to the lack of control] in the beginning,” says a corporate vice president and single mother. “But then you realize that everything keeps changing, so you never regain control. I was just learning to take care of the belly-button stump, when it fell off. I had just learned to make formula really efficiently, when Sarah stopped using it.””
    —Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
