unusual facts about Harmonic analysis


Mikio Sato

Further, it led to the theory of microfunctions, interest in microlocal aspects of linear partial differential equations and Fourier theory such as wave fronts, and ultimately to the current developments in D-module theory.


Mathematical analysis

Poisson, Liouville, Fourier and others studied partial differential equations and harmonic analysis.

Pascal Auscher

Specializing in harmonic analysis and operator theory, he is mostly known for, together with Steve Hofmann, Michael Lacey, Alan McIntosh and Philippe Tchamitchian, solving the famous Kato's conjecture.

University of Copenhagen Institute for Mathematical Sciences

Harald Bohr - the brother of physicist Niels Bohr - is one famous alumni of the department; his research in harmonic analysis and almost periodic functions in the 1930s laid the foundation for a huge drive in analysis.

Yu-Chi Ho

Before Kalman, time series analysis and classical control theory studied the frequency domain, using harmonic analysis, especially Laplace and Fourier transforms.
