Can all differential equations be turned into algebraic equations by Fourier transform (FT)? If not, what kind of differential equations can be solved by the FT technique?
The discussion centers on the applicability of the Fourier Transform (FT) in converting differential equations into algebraic equations. It is established that not all differential equations can be transformed using FT, particularly those involving exponential functions where the transform may not exist. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the conditions under which the Fourier Transform is valid for solving specific types of differential equations.
PREREQUISITESMathematicians, engineers, and students studying differential equations and Fourier analysis will benefit from this discussion, particularly those interested in the limitations and applications of the Fourier Transform in solving mathematical problems.
