Define the Fourier transform f~(k) of a function f(x) that tends to zero as ∣x∣→∞, and state the inversion theorem. State and prove the convolution theorem.
Calculate the Fourier transforms of
Hence show that
∫−∞∞k(a2+k2)sin(bk)eikxdk=a2πsinh(ab)e−ax for x>b
and evaluate this integral for all other (real) values of x.
