Fourier and harmonic analysis

Study frequency decomposition through convergence, transforms, convolution, interpolation, and singular integrals.

  1. 01

    Trigonometric systems and Fourier coefficients

    Treat periodic frequencies as an orthonormal system, compute coefficients with a fixed normalization, and distinguish energy from pointwise recovery.

    34 min
  2. 02

    Dirichlet and Fejér kernels

    Express truncation and averaging as circle convolutions, and see how positivity changes stability and convergence.

    35 min
  3. 03

    Pointwise convergence and summability

    Separate pointwise, uniform, L² and averaged convergence, including the midpoint rule at periodic jumps.

    36 min
  4. 04

    Fourier transform on Schwartz functions

    Choose Euclidean Fourier normalization, justify differentiation and integration by parts, and calculate Gaussian transforms.

    35 min
  5. 05

    Plancherel and Fourier inversion

    Extend Fourier analysis from test functions to L² while distinguishing norm inversion from absolutely convergent pointwise integrals.

    37 min
  6. 06

    Convolution, approximate identities, and Young's inequality

    Control convolution in Lebesgue spaces and state exactly when shrinking kernels recover a function in norm.

    37 min
  7. 07

    Distributions and Fourier multipliers

    Extend Fourier operations to tempered distributions and distinguish bounded L² symbols from unbounded differentiation.

    39 min
  8. 08

    Maximal functions and weak-type bounds

    Measure the largest local average, derive an exact interval example, and distinguish weak L¹ control from strong norm bounds.

    38 min
  9. 09

    Hilbert transform and singular integrals

    Use principal-value cancellation and a signed frequency multiplier while respecting endpoint failures and periodic zero modes.

    40 min
  10. 10

    Littlewood–Paley decompositions

    Organize smooth frequency bands into a square function and distinguish exact L² orthogonality from Lᵖ norm equivalence.
