generalized Fourier transform (Definition)

1 Fourier-Stieltjes Transform

Definition 1.1. Given a positive definite, measurable function f(x) on the interval (−∞,) there exists a monotone increasing, real-valued bounded function α(t) such that:

        ∫
f (x ) =   eitxd(α(t)),
         ℝ
(1.1)

for all x except a ‘small’ set, that is a finite set which contains only a small number of values. When f(x) is defined as above and if α(t) is nondecreasing and bounded then the measurable function defined by the above integral is called the Fourier-Stieltjes transform of α(t), and it is continuous in addition to being positive definite.
