The Analytic Wave Front Set
The analytic wave front set or singular spectrum WFA(f) of a distribution f (or more generally of a hyperfunction) can be defined in terms of the FBI transform (Hörmander (1983)) as the complement of the conical set of points (x, λ·ξ) (λ > 0) such that the FBI transform satisfies the Bros–Iagolnitzer inequality
for all a > 0, y near x and t = λ·ξ, with |t| sufficiently large. J.M. Bony (Sjöstrand (1982), Hörmander (1983)) proved that this definition coincided with other definitions introduced independently by Sato, Kashiwara and Kawai and by Hörmander. If P is an mth order linear differential operator having analytic coefficients
with principal symbol
and characteristic variety
then
In particular, when P is elliptic, char P = ø, so that
- WFA(Pf) = WFA(f).
This is a strengthening of the analytic version of elliptic regularity mentioned above.

Famous quotes containing the words analytic, wave, front and/or set:
““You, that have not lived in thought but deed,
Can have the purity of a natural force,
But I, whose virtues are the definitions
Of the analytic mind, can neither close
The eye of the mind nor keep my tongue from speech.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I sometimes compare press officers to riflemen on the Somme—mowing down wave upon wave of distortion, taking out rank upon rank of supposition, deduction and gossip.”
—Bernard Ingham (b. 1932)
“You had to have seen the corpses lying there in front of the school—the men with their caps covering their faces—to know the meaning of class hatred and the spirit of revenge.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
“No annual training or muster of soldiery, no celebration with its scarfs and banners, could import into the town a hundredth part of the annual splendor of our October. We have only to set the trees, or let them stand, and Nature will find the colored drapery,—flags of all her nations, some of whose private signals hardly the botanist can read,—while we walk under the triumphal arches of the elms.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
