Hello,

if I choose this formalism for Fourier transform :
Fourier(f(t),x)=integral(f(t)*exp(-i*t*x),t,-infinity,infinity).
What are the Fourier transform of this generalized functions :
1/ log(abs(t)),
2/ abs(t)^alpha,
3/ t^alpha*heaviside(t),
4/ 1/abs(t),
5/ abs(t)^alpha*sign(t).

Thanks for your answers.

Philippe.

In Mathematica, this definition is specified via

SetOptions[FourierTransform, FourierParameters -> {1, -1}]

FourierTransform[Log[Abs[t]], t, x]

-2 EulerGamma Pi DiracDelta[x] - Pi/Abs[x]

3/ t^alpha*heaviside(t),

For alpha = n a non-negative integer,

I^n (Pi Derivative[n][DiracDelta][x] - (-1)^n I n!/x^(n + 1))

Cheers,
Paul

Can this be right? It is not a tempered distribution.

For alpha = n a non-negative integer,

I^n (Pi Derivative[n][DiracDelta][x] - (-1)^n I n!/x^(n + 1))

Similar problem with this when n is odd.
