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:

    “In the most desirable conditions, the child learns to manage anxiety by being exposed to just the right amounts of it, not much more and not much less. This optimal amount of anxiety varies with the child’s age and temperament. It may also vary with cultural values.... There is no mathematical formula for calculating exact amounts of optimal anxiety. This is why child rearing is an art and not a science.”
    —Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
