InverseFourierTransform

Usage

• InverseFourierTransform[expr, , t] gives the symbolic inverse Fourier transform of expr.
• InverseFourierTransform[expr, {, , ... }, {, , ... }] gives the multidimensional inverse Fourier transform of expr.

Notes

• The inverse Fourier transform of a function

is by default defined as

• Other definitions are used in some scientific and technical fields.

• Different choices of definitions can be specified using the option FourierParameters.

• With the setting FourierParameters->{a, b} the inverse Fourier transform computed by InverseFourierTransform is

• Some common choices for {a, b} are {0, 1} (default; modern physics), {1, -1} (pure mathematics; systems engineering), {-1, 1} (classical physics), {0, -2 Pi} (signal processing).

• Assumptions and other options to Integrate can also be given in InverseFourierTransform.

• InverseFourierTransform[expr,

, t] yields an expression depending on the continuous variable t that represents the symbolic inverse Fourier transform of expr with respect to the continuous variable

. InverseFourier[list] takes a finite list of numbers as input, and yields as output a list representing the discrete inverse Fourier transform of the input.

• In TraditionalForm, InverseFourierTransform is output using
