3.6) (a) Recall that the Fourier transform of

f L1 (R)

is given by

Ff () = f() = (2)1/2

f (y)eiy dy.
R

So we can write

(2)1/2

f (y)eiy dyeix d

= (2)1

f (y)eiy dyeix d = (2)1

||(R,R) () f (y)||L1 (R2 ) =

By Hlder's inequality, we have

3.11) By direct computation, we have

Ff () = f() = (2)n/2

f (y)eiy dy = (2)n/2

Similarly,

Apply the inverse Fourier transform
