Re: Re: Fourier Transforms


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
