Constructive interference Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Constructive interference occurs when many oscillatory phases nearly agree, making their exponential terms add with comparable arguments and producing a large value of the sum.
Local constancy principle Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
A function whose Fourier support has widths in spatial-frequency directions and in a time-frequency direction varies only on the dual scales and . Convolution with an adapted Schwartz kernel makes this quantitative.

Translation property of the Fourier transform Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For an integrable function and the angular-frequency convention,so a translation multiplies each frequency component by a factor of modulus one. The amplitude of every component stays the same, while its wave phase changes by . For example, delaying by produces : faster oscillations accumulate a larger wave phase shift for the same delay. Substituting in the defining Fourier transform is the entire proof. Conversely, this multiplier in the Fourier transform produces a translation after Fourier inversion.

Fourier transform of a derivative Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For a Schwartz function, with the angular-frequency convention,More generally, the identity holds when integration by parts is justified and the boundary term vanishes. Repeated differentiation gives . The short proof transfers the derivative from to by integration by parts. High frequencies receive larger multipliers, so rapid ripples contribute more strongly to a derivative. For the heat equation, the second derivative becomes multiplication by , directly explaining the faster decay of fine spatial structure.
