SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the Fourier transform of the sequence x[n] defined as x1[n]=[0.9ncos(0.6*pi*n)] * x[n-2]. Participants highlight the challenge of calculating the Fourier transform due to the non-summable nature of the term 0.9n, which lacks a valid Fourier transform. The relevant equations discussed include time shift, convolution, and frequency shift, which are crucial for understanding the transformations involved. Ultimately, the consensus is that the problem requires a deeper understanding of Fourier transforms and their properties, particularly in relation to non-summable sequences.
