I really cannot figure out how you got the 0 expression both are unevaluated. To Ben C. I see that these are odd functions, pointing the the functions in the x domain are not real. are you aware of that fact? In addition, if this is the spectrum of some function, it should include infinite energy, pointing on its behaviour (the spectrum is not band-limited) (dirac delta, or some infinite value near the origin) Some coarse approximation: both function have a general form of a sign function yehuda yehuda On 3/3/06, Sseziwa Mukasa <mukasa at jeol.com> wrote: > > > On Mar 2, 2006, at 6:48 AM, Ben C wrote: > > > On the first of March I posted an appeal for help with some Fourier > > transforms.
