Stationarity of Stochastic Processes In The Fractional Fourier Domains

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the stationarity of stochastic processes in the fractional Fourier domains. We study the stationarity of a stochastic process after performing fractional Fourier transform (FRFT), and discrete fractional Fourier transform (DFRT) on both continuous and discrete stochastic processes, respectively. Also we investigate the stationarity of the fractional Fourier series (FRFS) coefficients of a continuous time stochastic process, and the stationarity of the discrete time fractional Fourier transform (DTFRFT) of a discrete time stochastic process. Closed formulas of the input process autocorrelation function and pseudo-autocorrelation function after performing the fractional Fourier transform are derived given that the input is a stationary stochastic process. We derive a formula for the output autocorrelation as a function of the $a^{th}$ power spectral density of the input stochastic process, also we derived a formula for the input fractional power spectral density as a function of the fractional Fourier transform of the output process autocorrelation function. We proved that, the input stochastic process must be zero mean to satisfy a necessary but not a sufficient condition of stationarity in the fractional domains. Closed formulas of the resultant statistics are also shown. It is shown that, in case of real input process, the output process is stationary if and only if the input process is white. On the other hand, if the input process is a complex process, it should be proper white process to obtain a stationary output process.

The two-dimensional Matkowski--Sut\^o equation with holomorphic and strictly increasing generators

We study the two-dimensional Matkowski--Sut\^o equation, which asks for two quasi-arithmetic means whose sum is twice the arithmetic mean, in two settings. For holomorphic injective generators with convex images on a convex domain in the complex plane, the solutions are exactly the affine pairs and the exponential pairs with a nonzero complex exponent, up to affine changes of the generators. The admissible exponents depend on the shape of the domain and are described by a curvature criterion for its boundary. In the monotone-operator framework of T\'oth, we construct an infinite-dimensional family of non-affine shear pairs on the whole plane. Their generators are strictly increasing in the sense of monotone operators and need not be differentiable. These pairs solve the weighted equation for any number of variables. The rigidity of the one-dimensional problem, due to Dar\'oczy and P\'ales, persists under holomorphy but not under monotonicity.

A counterexample to an open problem of Dorff

The classical P\'olya-Schoenberg conjecture, proved by Ruscheweyh-Sheil-Small, asserts that the convolution of two normalized convex univalent functions is again convex. This property fails to carry over to planar harmonic mappings. In 2001, Dorff posed the open problem whether the self-convolution of a normalized convex harmonic mapping with bounded image must remain in the same class. We construct a normalized sense-preserving harmonic diffeomorphism that maps the unit disk onto an ellipse; its self-convolution has vanishing Jacobian at some interior point of the unit disk, which provides a negative answer to Dorff's open problem.

Analytic Construction of Rational Curves on Fano Manifolds

Inspired by methods for constructing entire curves in Oka geometry, we give an analytic construction of rational curves on a complex Fano manifold $X$. Yau's theorem provides a K\"ahler metric with positive Ricci curvature. Using this curvature to guide deformations of holomorphic discs, we construct maps from discs of radii tending to infinity with uniformly bounded area. A central point is to preserve the derivative normalization through the limiting process. This yields a nonconstant entire map $f:\mathbb C\rightarrow X$ of finite area. This map extends across infinity to a nonconstant holomorphic map $\mathbb P^1\to X$. Combined with algebraic arguments in characteristic zero, the construction yields proofs of the rational connectedness of Fano manifolds and of Hartshorne's conjecture on ample tangent bundles.
