Some trigonometric integrals and the Fourier transform of a spherically symmetric exponential function
Abstract
We calculate the Fourier transform of a spherically symmetric exponential function. Our evaluation is much simpler than the known one. We use the polar coordinates and reduce the Fourier transform to the integral of a rational function of trigonometric functions. Its evaluation turns out to be much easier than expected because of homogeneity and a hidden symmetry. Relationship with a Fourier integral representation formula for harmonic functions is explained.
