In fact, I want that t runs from minus infinity to infinity.
But why Mathematica 5.0 gives \sqrt(2 Pi) DiracDelta[ I + \omega ] as
the answer, when I run the code FourierTransform[Exp[-t], t, \omega],
if the integral doesn't converge? Is there a different interpretation?
Moreover, Exp[I n t] (n from minus infinity to positive infinity) are
function basis of infinite number in Hilbert space L2. Is Exp[nt] also
function basis of L2?
