Functions of bounded variation represent an important class of
functions. Studying their Fourier transforms is a valuable means of
revealing their analytic properties. Moreover, it brings to light new
interrelations between these functions and the real Hardy space and,
correspondingly, between the Fourier transform and the Hilbert
transform.
This book is divided into two major parts, the first of which addresses
several aspects of the behavior of the Fourier transform of a function
of bounded variation in dimension one. In turn, the second part examines
the Fourier transforms of multivariate functions with bounded Hardy
variation. The results obtained are subsequently applicable to problems
in approximation theory, summability of the Fourier series and
integrability of trigonometric series.
