Homework Statement



The problem is to obtain the inverse Fourier transform of the following 2D functions

F(\mathbf{k})=\frac{k_{x}k_{y}}{k^{2}}

Homework Equations



The relevant equations are the 2d Fourier transform formulas described http://fourier.eng.hmc.edu/e101/lectures/Image_Processing/node6.html" .

The Attempt at a Solution



\int d^{2}\mathbf{k}\,\frac{k_{x}k_{y}}{k^{2}}e^{i\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{r}}&=&\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}dp\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}dq\,\frac{p q}{p^{2}+q^{2}}e^{ipx+iqy}

How would you proceed with the evaluation of this integral? I need some guidance on how to compute integrals like the above.

could you try polar co-ords?
 
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...
