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)
“When disaster waves, I try not to wave back.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“When a person says, “I see a yellowish-orange after-image,” he is saying something like this: “There is something going on which is like what is going on when I have my eyes open, am awake, and there is an orange illuminated in good light in front of me, that is, when I really see an orange.””
—John Jamieson Carswell Smart (b. 1920)
“Do I dare set forth here the most important, the most useful rule of all education? it is not to save time, but to squander it.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
