what's the Fourier transform of this function?

Started by Wowow October 10, 2007
Suppose I have a function f(u),

and define g(s)=int(f(u), u from -inf to s),

what is the Fourier transform of this function? I could see it may need some 
additional conditions, or generalized Fourier transforms, etc.

Any thoughts?

Note that f is the derivative of g. Try integration by parts for the Fourier transform of g, to obtain g' = f in the integrand. That should get you a relationship between the Fourier transform of g and that of f. Dale
