Derivative of Fourier transform using residue theorem












1












$begingroup$


If we define the fourier transform of f as



$$hat{f}(omega) = frac{1}{sqrt{2}}int_{-infty}^infty f(x) e^{-iomega x} dx$$



then if f is differentiable, and the integrals for $hat{f}$ and $hat{f'}$ both converge then



$$hat{f'}(w) = frac{1}{iomega}hat{f}(omega)$$



My first attempt was trying to use the fact that since both $hat{f}$ and $hat{f'}$ converge, then the improper integral in their respective definitions can be rewritten using the residue theorem, but this is as far as I've gotten and I am stuck. Someone suggested I try using integration by parts but I am unsure where to use this.

    The residue theorem doesn't apply.. Integrate by parts the given integral, differentiating $f$. And the constant is $frac1{sqrt{2pi}}$

begin{eqnarray}
int_{-infty}^{+infty} frac{{rm d}f(x)}{{rm d}x} e^{-iomega x}~{rm d}x &=& int_{-infty}^{+infty}left[frac{{rm d}}{{rm d}x}(f(x)e^{-iomega x}) - f(x)frac{{rm d}e^{-iomega x}}{{rm d}x} right]{rm d}x \
&=& left.f(x)e^{-iomega x}right|_{-infty}^{+infty} + iomega int_{-infty}^{+infty}f(x)e^{-iomega x}~{rm d}x
end{eqnarray}



The first term vanishes if the function $f$ goes to 0 at infinity. From here



$$
hat{f'}(omega) = (iomega) hat{f}(omega)
$$
