Homework Statement


I need to find the Fourier Transform of this integro-differential equation:

<br /> \begin{subequations}<br /> \begin{eqnarray}<br /> \nonumber<br /> \dot{\hat{{\cal E}}}(t) &amp;=&amp; -\kappa \hat{{\cal E}}(t) + i g\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d \Delta\; \hat{{\cal \rho}}(\Delta)\,( \hat{\sigma}_{ge,0}(t_{0},\Delta)e^{-(\gamma +i\Delta)(t-t_{0})} <br /> \nonumber\\<br /> &amp; &amp; + e^{-(\gamma + i\Delta)(t-t_{0})} ig\int_{t_{0}}^{t} d t&#039; \hat{{\cal E}}(t&#039;)e^{(\gamma +i\Delta)(t-t&#039;)})<br /> \nonumber\\<br /> &amp; &amp; + \sqrt{2\kappa}\, \hat{{\cal E}}_{in}, \\<br /> \nonumber<br /> \end{eqnarray}<br /> \end{subequations}<br /> <br />

Homework Equations


<br /> \hat{{\cal E}}}(t) <br />
is just a function of t

The Attempt at a Solution


<br /> After applying the Fourier Transform,<br /> \begin{subequations}<br /> \begin{eqnarray}<br /> \omega \; \tilde{\hat{{\cal E}}}(\omega) &amp;=&amp; -\frac{\kappa}{\sqrt{2\pi}} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \hat{{\cal E}}(t)e^{-i\omega t} dt + ig\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d \Delta\; \hat{{\cal \rho}}(\Delta)\, \hat{\sigma}_{ge,0}(t_{0},\Delta)e^{-(\gamma +i\Delta)(t-t_{0})}<br /> \nonumber\\<br /> &amp; &amp; - g^{2}e^{-(\gamma +i\Delta)(t-t_{0})}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d \Delta\; \hat{{\cal \rho}}(\Delta)\,\int_{t_{0}}^{t} d t&#039; \hat{{\cal E}}(t&#039;)e^{(\gamma +i\Delta)(t-t&#039;)}<br /> + \sqrt{2\kappa}\, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \hat{{\cal E}}_{in}(t)e^{-i\omega t} dt, \nonumber\\ \nonumber<br /> \end{eqnarray}<br /> \end{subequations}<br /> <br />

is this correct?

Is this equation too intimidating?
 
Any thoughts? Did I not make myself clear?
 
Honestly it looks ok, but something looks like it may be missing. I don't have much experience with it, but it does seem ok.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
