To f and Forward

From the post "What Time?" dated 08 Jul 2016,

dndtn{tn1f(t)}Fourier(1)(n1)(i2πf)dn1dfn1{F(f)}

with light speed t=xc,

dt=1cdx

cndndxn((xc)(n1)f(xc))Fourier(1)(n1)(i2πf)dn1dfn1(F(f))

What if f(xc)=cx=1t=f?  Then it is possible to obtain, F(f) for 1t in

1tFourierF(f)

Let n=1, and f(xc)=cx,

cddx(cx)Fourier(i2πf)F(f)

(cx)2Fourier(i2πf)F(f)

If f(t)=ft and ftFourierF(f) then

f2tFourierF(f)F(f)

where denotes convolution and we differentiate f in the frequency domain from ft, the function in the time domain.  So,

i2πf.F(f)=F(f)F(f)  --- (1)

When n=1, and f(xc)=(cx)2,  F1(f)=F(t)F(f)

cddx(cx)2Fourier(i2πf)F1(f)

2(cx)3Fourier(i2πf)F1(f)

(i2πf)(F(f)F(f))=2F(t)F(f)F(f) --- (2)

Consider,  n=2 and f(xc)=(cx)2,

c2d2dx2(cx)Fourier(i2πf).ddf(F(f))

(1)(2).c3x3Fourier(i2πf).ddf(F(f))

which is,

2f3Fourier(i2πf).ddf(F(f))

Since,

f3tFourier(F(f)F(f))F(f)

where denotes convolution and we differentiate f in the frequency domain from ft, function in the time domain.

(i2πf).ddf(F(f)F(f))=2F(f)F(f)F(f) --- (3)

Comparing (2) and (3),

ddf(F(f)F(f))=F(f)F(f)

substitute (1) in,

ddf(i2πf.F(f))=i2πf.F(f)

One possible solution is,

i2πf.F(f)=ef

and F(f)=1i2πfef

So,

1tFourier1i2πfef --- (*)

But what does (*) mean?

A plot of y=e^x/x and y=x,



And how do check such an expression?  The Duality property of Fourier tranform F[F(t)]=f(f).

Note:  The change from dt to dx via c.t=x is not necessary.

1t=f is a function that is different from 1Δt=1T=f the definition for frequency.  The later is divided by an time interval Δt=T, the period of an oscillation.  1t is the reciprocal of the passage of time with respect to some origin t=0.  Δt=T is without such an origin.  t is meaningless without first defining the origin, Δt finds a reference point when it is applied after it has been given a value.
