Fourier Transform - Fourier Transform On Euclidean Space

Fourier Transform On Euclidean Space

The Fourier transform can be in any arbitrary number of dimensions n. As with the one-dimensional case, there are many conventions. For an integrable function ƒ(x), this article takes the definition:

where x and ξ are n-dimensional vectors, and x· ξ is the dot product of the vectors. The dot product is sometimes written as .

All of the basic properties listed above hold for the n-dimensional Fourier transform, as do Plancherel's and Parseval's theorem. When the function is integrable, the Fourier transform is still uniformly continuous and the Riemann–Lebesgue lemma holds. (Stein & Weiss 1971)

Famous quotes containing the words transform and/or space:

    The lullaby is the spell whereby the mother attempts to transform herself back from an ogre to a saint.
    James Fenton (b. 1949)

    The peculiarity of sculpture is that it creates a three-dimensional object in space. Painting may strive to give on a two-dimensional plane, the illusion of space, but it is space itself as a perceived quantity that becomes the peculiar concern of the sculptor. We may say that for the painter space is a luxury; for the sculptor it is a necessity.
    Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
