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)
“The city is loveliest when the sweet death racket begins. Her own life lived in defiance of nature, her electricity, her frigidaires, her soundproof walls, the glint of lacquered nails, the plumes that wave across the corrugated sky. Here in the coffin depths grow the everlasting flowers sent by telegraph.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“Carry hate
In front of you and harmony behind.
Be deaf to music and to beauty blind.
Win war. Rise bloody, maybe not too late
For having first to civilize a space
Wherein to play your violin with grace.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“You have a row of dominoes set up; you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is that it will go over very quickly.”
—Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
