Abstract

A tempered distribution on ℝ whose Fourier transform is supported in an interval [−Ω,Ω], where Ω>0, can be characterized by the behaviour of its successive derivatives. On the other hand, a tempered distribution on ℝ whose Fourier transform vanishes in an interval (−Ω,Ω), where Ω>0, can be characterized by the behaviour of a particular sequence of successive antiderivatives. Similar considerations apply to general convolution operators acting on J′(ℝn) and yield characterizations for tempered distributions having their Fourier transforms supported in sets of the form or , where and Ω>0.
