    Convolution products for hypercomplex Fourier transforms

    Full text link
    Hypercomplex Fourier transforms are increasingly used in signal processing for the analysis of higher-dimensional signals such as color images. A main stumbling block for further applications, in particular concerning filter design in the Fourier domain, is the lack of a proper convolution theorem. The present paper develops and studies two conceptually new ways to define convolution products for such transforms. As a by-product, convolution theorems are obtained that will enable the development and fast implementation of new filters for quaternionic signals and systems, as well as for their higher dimensional counterparts.Comment: 18 pages, two columns, accepted in J.

    New techniques for the two-sided quaternionic fourier transform

    In this paper, it is shown that there exists a Hermite basis for the two-sided quaternionic Fourier transform. This basis is subsequently used to give an alternative proof for the inversion theorem and to give insight in translation and convolution for the quaternionic Fourier transform

    Clifford algebras, Fourier transforms and quantum mechanics

    Full text link
    In this review, an overview is given of several recent generalizations of the Fourier transform, related to either the Lie algebra sl_2 or the Lie superalgebra osp(1|2). In the former case, one obtains scalar generalizations of the Fourier transform, including the fractional Fourier transform, the Dunkl transform, the radially deformed Fourier transform and the super Fourier transform. In the latter case, one has to use the framework of Clifford analysis and arrives at the Clifford-Fourier transform and the radially deformed hypercomplex Fourier transform. A detailed exposition of all these transforms is given, with emphasis on aspects such as eigenfunctions and spectrum of the transform, characterization of the integral kernel and connection with various special functions.Comment: Review paper, 39 pages, to appear in Math.

    Two-sided Clifford Fourier transform with two square roots of -1 in Cl(p,q)

    Full text link
    We generalize quaternion and Clifford Fourier transforms to general two-sided Clifford Fourier transforms (CFT), and study their properties (from linearity to convolution). Two general \textit{multivector square roots} \in \cl{p,q} \textit{of} -1 are used to split multivector signals, and to construct the left and right CFT kernel factors. Keywords: Clifford Fourier transform, Clifford algebra, signal processing, square roots of -1 .Comment: 19 pages, 1 figur

    A General Geometric Fourier Transform Convolution Theorem

    Full text link
    The large variety of Fourier transforms in geometric algebras inspired the straight forward definition of ``A General Geometric Fourier Transform`` in Bujack et al., Proc. of ICCA9, covering most versions in the literature. We showed which constraints are additionally necessary to obtain certain features like linearity, a scaling, or a shift theorem. In this paper we extend the former results by a convolution theorem

    Intelligent OFDM telecommunication system. Part 2. Examples of complex and quaternion many-parameter transforms

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we propose unified mathematical forms of many-parametric complex and quaternion Fourier transforms for novel Intelligent OFDM-telecommunication systems (OFDM-TCS). Each many-parametric transform (MPT) depends on many free angle parameters. When parameters are changed in some way, the type and form of transform are changed as well. For example, MPT may be the Fourier transform for one set of parameters, wavelet transform for other parameters and other transforms for other values of parameters. The new Intelligent-OFDM-TCS uses inverse MPT for modulation at the transmitter and direct MPT for demodulation at the receiver. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved

    Erlangen Programme at Large 3.1: Hypercomplex Representations of the Heisenberg Group and Mechanics

    Get PDF
    In the spirit of geometric quantisation we consider representations of the Heisenberg(--Weyl) group induced by hypercomplex characters of its centre. This allows to gather under the same framework, called p-mechanics, the three principal cases: quantum mechanics (elliptic character), hyperbolic mechanics and classical mechanics (parabolic character). In each case we recover the corresponding dynamic equation as well as rules for addition of probabilities. Notably, we are able to obtain whole classical mechanics without any kind of semiclassical limit h->0.
