### Solving Poisson-like PDE with FFT

Problem I have an $n\times n$ grid, and each point on the grid is assigned two values: a score, and an (inverse) speed factor. There is a "turtle" moving along the grid, and it's goal is to ...

### Reducing the frequency resolution for a short pulse by applying the SVEA - how to keep frequency?

If I have a single light pulse, I can define it as (within certain boundaries, and $A$ a gaussian function) $$E(t) = A(t)\cdot\exp(-i\omega_0 t)$$ After applying an FFT over it, I can then shift the ...

### How to obtain the exact value of wavelength from a 2D FFT amplitude vs wavenumber plot like it is obtainable from 1D FFT amplitude vs wavenumber plot?

I have a two dimensional multi modal spatial signal generated from a MATLAB code using sinusoidal functions of different wave numbers, amplitudes and phases. What I want to know is that if I have the ...

### Improving efficiency of FFT for large time window and single frequency pulses

Spectral methods for pulse propagation usually require at least one FFT and one iFFT for each step. In my case I have a two-dimensional radially symmetric electric field (one dimension in space, one ...

### Problems with simulation of a spatial filter 4f setup (Python)

I have a question about my code which computes numerically the output field of a 4f setup with a pinhole in the middle which works as a spatial filter. My setup consists of two lenses with 50mm focal ...

### How to define a dimensionless Objective function for determining how peaked a curve is?

I have attached 2 plots for FFT spectra. One is considered good and one is bad. The good one is classified on the basis of how closely spaced the frequencies and the bad is based on how multiple ...

### Incorporating a potential barrier in a wave-packet simulation (Fourier Transform method)

I'm trying to simulate the scattering of a wave-packet at a potential barrier in Python. I'm using a Fourier Transform method (not sure if its the same as the Split-Step method), where I apply Fourier ...

### DFT of $g(\omega) \exp(i C \omega^2)$. How to do it ,if uniform sampling requires too much memory?

I have a following problem : I want to transform a function $g(\omega) \exp(i C \omega^2)$. $g(\omega)$ is real and limited. It changes slowly compered to $\exp(i C \omega^2)$. I have a black box that ...

### The sign of Schrodinger equation

I have a question for the format of Schrodinger equation $$\psi(x,t) = \int_0^\infty c_n e^{-iE_nt/\hbar} \psi_n(x)$$ Why do we have $i$ instead of $-i$?

### Discrete sine and cosine transform for mixed derivatives

Using sine and cosine transforms to solve Poisson's equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions seem quite standard nowadays (see, e.g., here or Table 2 in this paper). In the case of Poisson's ...

### What is the inverse Laplace transform algorithm that is most accurate given the fewest frequencies considered?

Based on your empirical knowledge. This paper suggests a nonlinearly accelerated Fourier series approach, such as the one proposed here, but I have one constraint: we should be able to express the ...

### How to solve diffusion equation in Fourier space when mobility is not constant

I want to solve non-classic diffusion equation in Fourier space. The equation is $$∂c/∂t=-∇.J$$ Where $J$ is $$J= -M.∇μ$$ Where M is mobility. It depends on c and $\mu$ is $$μ= g(c) - \nabla^2c$$ ...

### High precision Discrete Fourier Transform in c

I'm trying to do a high precision discrete fourier transform on a signal. To examine the precision, I use a gaussian function as the signal, because the fourier transform is also a gaussian function. ...
