Fourier transform relation for spherical convolution

Let $f$ and $g$ be two functions defined over the 2d sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$. The convolution between $f$ and $g$ is defined as a function $f * g$ over the space $SO(3)$ of 3d rotations as $$(f*g)(R) = \...

Extracting eigenvalues of a circulant matrix using discrete Fourier matrix

The eigenvalues of a circulant matrix $C$ can be extracted as $$ \Lambda=F^{-1} C F $$ where the $F$ matrix is a discrete Fourier transform matrix and $\Lambda$ is a diagonal matrix of eigenvalues. ...

Equivalent of a local limit theorem in the large deviation region and asymptotics of a convolution operator

Let $\{X_i \}_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables satisfying $\mathbb{E} X_1 = 0$ and $\mathbb{E} X_1 ^2 < \infty$. Assume that $\{S_n  \}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is a non-...

Is $g(v)=\mathbb{E}[f(v+W)]$ a differentiable function of $v$ when $f$ is continuous and $W$ is multivariate normal?

Suppose $f$ is a continuous function on $\mathbb{R}^n$, and $W$ has a multivariate normal distribution on $\mathbb{R}^n$. If the expectation $$g(v)=\mathbb{E}[f(v+W)]$$ is defined for all $v \in \...

Is there a name for this type of matrix?

For my thesis in neural networks, I was trying to find a way to generalize a Sobel operator. I quickly thought of this: $$ \begin{bmatrix} a&b&c\\ d&0&-d\\ -c&-b&-a \end{...

Earliest use of deconvolution by Fourier transforms

From a previous discussion here Origin of the convolution theorem, it was shown that the property of convolution $y(t)$=$a$*$b$ becoming a multiplication after Fourier transform: $F$$(y(t))$= $F(a)F(b)...

What is $\int_{0}^{z} e^{-a^{2} x^{2}} {\rm erf}(bx)\, dx$?

The integral $$\int_{0}^{z} e^{-a^{2} x^{2}} {\rm erf}(bx)\, dx$$ is related to the convolution of two half-normal distributions. This can be inferred from this question on MSE. The following ...
