Two-dimensional symmetric and antisymmetric generalizations of exponential and cosine functions
Properties of the four families of recently introduced special functions of
two real variables, denoted here by , and , are studied. The
superscripts and refer to the symmetric and antisymmetric functions
respectively. The functions are considered in all details required for their
exploitation in Fourier expansions of digital data, sampled on square grids of
any density and for general position of the grid in the real plane relative to
the lattice defined by the underlying group theory. Quality of continuous
interpolation, resulting from the discrete expansions, is studied, exemplified
and compared for some model functions.Comment: 22 pages, 10 figure
(Anti)symmetric multivariate trigonometric functions and corresponding Fourier transforms
Four families of special functions, depending on n variables, are studied. We
call them symmetric and antisymmetric multivariate sine and cosine functions.
They are given as determinants or antideterminants of matrices, whose matrix
elements are sine or cosine functions of one variable each. These functions are
eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator, satisfying specific conditions at the
boundary of a certain domain F of the n-dimensional Euclidean space. Discrete
and continuous orthogonality on F of the functions within each family, allows
one to introduce symmetrized and antisymmetrized multivariate Fourier-like
transforms, involving the symmetric and antisymmetric multivariate sine and
cosine functions.Comment: 25 pages, no figures; LaTaX; corrected typo
