Corollary 2. If \( f \) is continuous at \( x \), its Fourier series either diverges at \( x \) or converges to \( f\left( x\right) \) .

But by Fejér’s the...

If the function \( f \) is differentiable at each point \( x \in \mathbb{R} \) or has finite one-sided derivatives or satisfies a Hölder condition, then it is represented by its Fourier integral.
Hence for functions of these classes both equalities (18.80) and (18.82) or (18.98) and (18.99) hold, and we have thus proved the inversion formula for the Fourier transform for such functions.

Because \( u = f * {\mathcal{H}}_{t} \), taking the Fourier transform in the \( x \) - variable gives \( \widehat{u} = \widehat{f}{\widehat{\mathcal{H}}}_{t} \), and so \( \widehat{u}\left( {\xi, t}\right) = \widehat{f}\left( \xi \right) {e}^{-4{\pi }^{2}{\xi }^{2}t} \) . The Fourier inversion formula gives\n\n\...

Corollary 2.2 \( u\left( {\cdot, t}\right) \) belongs to \( \mathcal{S}\left( \mathbb{R}\right) \) uniformly in \( t \), in the sense that for any \( T > 0 \)\n\n(9)\n\n\[ \n\mathop{\sup }\limits_{\substack{{x \in \mathbb{R}} \\ {0 < t < T} }}{\left| x\right| }^{k}\left| {\frac{{\partial }^{\ell }}{\partial {x}^{\ell }...

This result is a consequence of the following estimate:\n\n\[ \n\left| {u\left( {x, t}\right) }\right| \leq {\int }_{\left| y\right| \leq \left| x\right| /2}\left| {f\left( {x - y}\right) }\right| {\mathcal{H}}_{t}\left( y\right) {dy} + {\int }_{\left| y\right| \geq \left| x\right| /2}\left| {f\left( {x - y}\rig...

Theorem 2.3 Suppose \( u\left( {x, t}\right) \) satisfies the following conditions:\n\n(i) \( u \) is continuous on the closure of the upper half-plane.\n\n(ii) \( u \) satisfies the heat equation for \( t > 0 \) .\n\n(iii) \( u \) satisfies the boundary condition \( u\left( {x,0}\right) = 0 \) .\n\n(iv) \( u\left( {\c...
Proof. We define the energy at time \( t \) of the solution \( u\left( {x, t}\right) \) by\n\n\[ E\left( t\right) = {\int }_{\mathbb{R}}{\left| u\left( x, t\right) \right| }^{2}{dx} \]\n\nClearly \( E\left( t\right) \geq 0 \) . Since \( E\left( 0\right) = 0 \) it suffices to show that \( E \) is a decreasing function, ...

Lemma 2.4 The following two identities hold:\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }{e}^{-{2\pi }\left| \xi \right| y}{e}^{2\pi i\xi x}{d\xi } = {\mathcal{P}}_{y}\left( x\right) \n\]\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }{\mathcal{P}}_{y}\left( x\right) {e}^{-{2\pi ix\xi }}{dx} = {e}^{-{2\pi }\left| \xi \right| y}. \n\]
Proof. The first formula is fairly straightforward since we can split the integral from \( - \infty \) to 0 and 0 to \( \infty \) . Then, since \( y > 0 \) we have\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{0}^{\infty }{e}^{-{2\pi \xi y}}{e}^{2\pi i\xi x}{d\xi } = {\int }_{0}^{\infty }{e}^{{2\pi i}\left( {x + {iy}}\right) \xi }{d\xi } = {\left\...

Lemma 2.5 The Poisson kernel is a good kernel on \( \mathbb{R} \) as \( y \rightarrow 0 \) .
Proof. Setting \( \xi = 0 \) in the second formula of the lemma shows that \( {\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }{\mathcal{P}}_{y}\left( x\right) {dx} = 1 \), and clearly \( {\mathcal{P}}_{y}\left( x\right) \geq 0 \), so it remains to check the last property of good kernels. Given a fixed \( \delta > 0 \), we may change varia...

Theorem 2.6 Given \( f \in \mathcal{S}\left( \mathbb{R}\right) \), let \( u\left( {x, y}\right) = \left( {f * {\mathcal{P}}_{y}}\right) \left( x\right) \) . Then:\n\n(i) \( u\left( {x, y}\right) \) is \( {C}^{2} \) in \( {\mathbb{R}}_{ + }^{2} \) and \( \bigtriangleup u = 0 \) .\n\n(ii) \( u\left( {x, y}\right) \righta...
Proof. The proofs of parts (i), (ii), and (iii) are similar to the case of the heat equation, and so are left to the reader. Part (iv) is a consequence of two easy estimates whenever \( f \) is of moderate decrease. First, we have\n\n\[ \left| {\left( {f * {\mathcal{P}}_{y}}\right) \left( x\right) }\right| \leq C\left(...

Lemma 2.8 (Mean-value property) Suppose \( \Omega \) is an open set in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{2} \) and let \( u \) be a function of class \( {C}^{2} \) with \( \bigtriangleup u = 0 \) in \( \Omega \) . If the closure of the disc centered at \( \left( {x, y}\right) \) and of radius \( R \) is contained in \( \Omega \), then\...
Proof. Let \( U\left( {r,\theta }\right) = u\left( {x + r\cos \theta, y + r\sin \theta }\right) \) . Expressing the Laplacian in polar coordinates, the equation \( \bigtriangleup u = 0 \) then implies\n\n\[ 0 = \frac{{\partial }^{2}U}{\partial {\theta }^{2}} + r\frac{\partial }{\partial r}\left( {r\frac{\partial U}{\pa...

Theorem 3.1 (Poisson summation formula) If \( f \in \mathcal{S}\left( \mathbb{R}\right) \), then\n\n\[ \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = - \infty }}^{\infty }f\left( {x + n}\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n = - \infty }}^{\infty }\widehat{f}\left( n\right) {e}^{2\pi inx}. \]\n\nIn particular, setting \( x = 0 \) we have\n\...
Proof. To check the first formula it suffices, by Theorem 2.1 in Chapter 2, to show that both sides (which are continuous) have the same Fourier coefficients (viewed as functions on the circle). Clearly, the \( {m}^{\text{th }} \) Fourier coefficient of the right-hand side is \( \widehat{f}\left( m\right) \) . For the ...

Theorem 3.2 \( {s}^{-1/2}\vartheta \left( {1/s}\right) = \vartheta \left( s\right) \) whenever \( s > 0 \) .
The proof of this identity consists of a simple application of the Poisson summation formula to the pair\n\n\[ f\left( x\right) = {e}^{-{\pi s}{x}^{2}}\;\text{ and }\;\widehat{f}\left( \xi \right) = {s}^{-1/2}{e}^{-\pi {\xi }^{2}/s}. \]
Yes
Corollary 3.4 The kernel \( {H}_{t}\left( x\right) \) is a good kernel for \( t \rightarrow 0 \) .
Proof. We already observed that \( {\int }_{\left| x\right| \leq 1/2}{H}_{t}\left( x\right) {dx} = 1 \) . Now note that \( {H}_{t} \geq 0 \), which is immediate from the above formula since \( {\mathcal{H}}_{t} \geq 0 \) . Finally, we claim that when \( \left| x\right| \leq 1/2 \) ,\n\n\[ \n{H}_{t}\left( x\right) = {\m...

Theorem 3.5 \( {P}_{r}\left( {2\pi x}\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{n \in \mathbb{Z}}}{\mathcal{P}}_{y}\left( {x + n}\right) \) where \( r = {e}^{-{2\pi y}} \) .
This is again an immediate corollary of the Poisson summation formula applied to \( f\left( x\right) = {\mathcal{P}}_{y}\left( x\right) \) and \( \widehat{f}\left( \xi \right) = {e}^{-{2\pi }\left| \xi \right| y} \) . Of course, here we use the Poisson summation formula under the assumptions that \( f \) and \( \wideha...

Theorem 4.1 Suppose \( \psi \) is a function in \( \mathcal{S}\left( \mathbb{R}\right) \) which satisfies the normalizing condition \( {\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }{\left| \psi \left( x\right) \right| }^{2}{dx} = 1 \) . Then\n\n\[ \left( {{\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }{x}^{2}{\left| \psi \left( x\right) \right| }^{2}{dx}}...
Proof. The second inequality actually follows from the first by replacing \( \psi \left( x\right) \) by \( {e}^{-{2\pi ix}{\xi }_{0}}\psi \left( {x + {x}_{0}}\right) \) and changing variables. To prove the first inequality, we argue as follows. Beginning with our normalizing assumption \( \int {\left| \psi \right| }^{2...

(i) \( f\left( {x + h}\right) \rightarrow \widehat{f}\left( \xi \right) {e}^{{2\pi i\xi } \cdot h} \) whenever \( h \in {\mathbb{R}}^{d} \). (ii) \( f\left( x\right) {e}^{-{2\pi ixh}} \rightarrow \widehat{f}\left( {\xi + h}\right) \) whenever \(...
The first five properties are proved in the same way as in the one-dimensional case. To verify the last property, simply change variables \( y = {Rx} \) in the integral. Then, recall that \( \left| {\det \left( R\right) }\right| = 1 \), and \( {R}^{-1}y \cdot \xi = y \cdot {R\xi } \), because \( R \) is a rotation.
Yes
Corollary 2.3 The Fourier transform of a radial function is radial.
This follows at once from property (vi) in the last proposition. Indeed, the condition \( f\left( {Rx}\right) = f\left( x\right) \) for all \( R \) implies that \( \widehat{f}\left( {R\xi }\right) = \widehat{f}\left( \xi \right) \) for all \( R \), thus \( \widehat{f} \) is radial whenever \( f \) is.

A solution of the Cauchy problem for the wave equation is\n\n\[ u\left( {x, t}\right) = {\int }_{{\mathbb{R}}^{d}}\left\lbrack {\widehat{f}\left( \xi \right) \cos \left( {{2\pi }\left| \xi \right| t}\right) + \widehat{g}\left( \xi \right) \frac{\sin \left( {{2\pi }\left| \xi \right| t}\right) }{{2\pi }\left| \xi \right...
Proof. We first verify that \( u \) solves the wave equation. This is straightforward once we note that we can differentiate in \( x \) and \( t \) under the integral sign (because \( f \) and \( g \) are both Schwartz functions) and therefore \( u \) is at least \( {C}^{2} \). On the one hand we differentiate the expo...

Lemma 3.3 Suppose a and \( b \) are complex numbers and \( \alpha \) is real. Then\n\n\[ \n{\left| a\cos \alpha + b\sin \alpha \right| }^{2} + {\left| -a\sin \alpha + b\cos \alpha \right| }^{2} = {\left| a\right| }^{2} + {\left| b\right| }^{2}.\n\]
This follows directly because \( {e}_{1} = \left( {\cos \alpha ,\sin \alpha }\right) \) and \( {e}_{2} = \left( {-\sin \alpha ,\cos \alpha }\right) \) are a pair of orthonormal vectors, hence with \( Z = \left( {a, b}\right) \in {\mathbb{C}}^{2} \), we have\n\n\[ \n{\left| Z\right| }^{2} = {\left| Z \cdot {e}_{1}\right...

Lemma 3.4 If \( f \in \mathcal{S}\left( {\mathbb{R}}^{3}\right) \) and \( t \) is fixed, then \( {M}_{t}\left( f\right) \in \mathcal{S}\left( {\mathbb{R}}^{3}\right) \) . Moreover, \( {M}_{t}\left( f\right) \) is indefinitely differentiable in \( t \), and each \( t \) -derivative also belongs to \( \mathcal{S}\left( {...
Proof. Let \( F\left( x\right) = {M}_{t}\left( f\right) \left( x\right) \) . To show that \( F \) is rapidly decreasing, start with the inequality \( \left| {f\left( x\right) }\right| \leq {A}_{N}/\left( {1 + {\left| x\right| }^{N}}\right) \) which holds for every fixed \( N \geq 0 \) . As a simple consequence, wheneve...

Proof. Note that the integral on the left is radial in \( \xi \) . Indeed, if \( R \) is a rotation then\n\n\[ \n{\int }_{{S}^{2}}{e}^{-{2\pi iR}\left( \xi \right) \cdot \gamma }{d\sigma }\left( \gamma \right) = {\int }_{{S}^{2}}{e}^{-{2\pi i\xi } \cdot {R}^{-1}\left( \gamma \right) }{d\sigma }\left( \gamma \right) = {...

Formally, the identity in the theorem arises as follows. If we start with an initial pair of functions \( f \) and \( g \) in \( \mathcal{S}\left( {\mathbb{R}}^{2}\right) \), we may consider the corresponding functions \( \widetilde{f} \) and \( \widetilde{g} \) on \( {\mathbb{R}}^{3} \) that are merely extensions of \...
