Maximal values for the simultaneous number of null components of a vector and its Fourier transform Authors Alberto Debernardi Pinos Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) Keywords: Uncertainty principle, Fourier matrix, Fourier submatrix, DFT Abstract Motivated by the uncertainty principle, the purpose of this work is to find the maximal value of simultaneous number of null components of a vector and its discrete Fourier transform. In other words if we denote W and Z the number of null components of a vector x and its Fourier transform, respectively, the uncertainty principle ensures that W and Z are inversely proportional. We study the best possible balance between those two numbers. Downloads Download data is not yet available.
