Further spectral properties of the weighted finite Fourier transform operator and approximation in weighted Sobolev spaces

摘要

In this work, we first give some mathematical preliminaries concerning the generalized prolate spheroidal wave function (GPSWF). This set of special functions have been defined as the infinite and countable set of the eigenfunctions of a weighted finite Fourier transform operator. Then, we show that the set of the singular values of this operator has a super-exponential decay rate. We also give some local estimates and bounds of these GPSWFs. As an application of the spectral properties of the GPSWFs and their associated eigenvalues, we give their quality of approximation in a weighted Sobolev space. Finally, we provide the reader with some numerical examples that illustrate the different results of this work.
