Fourier–Plancherel in L²
#
This file sets up the statements needed to extend the explicit Fourier integral
to an isometry on L²(ℝ)
. The key intermediate results (still left as goals)
are:
- the Fourier integral of an
L¹ ∩ L²
function belongs toL²
; - the Plancherel identity relating the
L²
norms on the time and frequency sides with the1 / (2π)
normalisation used inFrourio.Analysis.FourierPlancherel
.
The sequence n ↦ 1/(n+1)
tends to zero.
Produce a sequence of compactly supported smooth approximations for an L²
function.
The Fourier integral of a Schwartz function is in every Lᵖ
.
Pairing the Fourier transform of an integrable function with a Schwartz test function can be rewritten using the conjugated transform.
Frequency-side pairing with a Schwartz function can be rewritten using the explicit kernel formulation.
For Schwartz functions the Fourier integral belongs to L²
.
A Schwartz function is integrable.
L¹ ∩ L²
functions can be approximated in L²
by Schwartz functions.
This is a preparatory statement for the Plancherel extension.
Each L²
function can be approximated arbitrarily well by a Schwartz function.
Schwartz functions are dense in L²(ℝ)
viewed as Lp
.
Every L²
function is the limit of a sequence of Schwartz functions in the
L²
topology. This upgrades the density statement to a sequential form that is
convenient for limit arguments.
If an L²
function is nonzero, some Schwartz test function detects it via the inner product.
If the inner product against every Schwartz test function vanishes, then the L²
function is
identically zero.
Weak convergence of Fourier transforms of Schwartz approximations implies convergence to the Fourier transform of the limit function.
Strong L² convergence implies weak convergence against Schwartz test functions.
