Fourier transform of a lorentzian function

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Fourier transform of a Lorentzian function is not a Lorentzian but rather a decaying oscillation. In contrast, the Fourier transform of a Gaussian function retains its Gaussian form. The discussion also raises the question of whether the Fourier transform of the second derivative of a Lorentzian function results in the second derivative of a Lorentzian, prompting the need for theorems related to the Fourier transform of derivatives for further exploration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Fourier transforms
  • Knowledge of Lorentzian functions
  • Familiarity with Gaussian functions
  • Concepts of derivatives in mathematical analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research theorems regarding the Fourier transform of derivatives
  • Explore the properties of Lorentzian and Gaussian functions in Fourier analysis
  • Study the implications of Fourier transforms in signal processing
  • Investigate applications of decaying oscillations in physics and engineering
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, physicists, and engineers interested in signal processing, particularly those focusing on Fourier analysis and the properties of various functions.

hi

I know the Fourier transform of a lorentzian function is a lorentzian but i was wondering if the Fourier transform of the second derivation of a lorentzian function is also a second derivative of a lorentzian function

Thanks

The Fourier transform of a Lorentzian isn't a Lorentzian (its a decaying oscillation)

The Fourier transform of a Gaussian is a Gaussian, which is I guess what you mean?

Do you know any theorems about the Fourier transform of a derivative to help answer your other question?
