On the convergence rate at infinity of the Fourier transform of the standard bump function

306 Views Asked by At

My question is concerned with the Fourier transform of the standard bump function, $\phi(x)=e^{-\frac{1}{x^2-1}}$ if $x\in (-1,1)$ and equal to $0$ if otherwise. As known, as $\phi$ has compactly supported in $[-1,1]$, the fourier transform ${\phi ^{\operatorname{ft} }}\left( t \right)$ tends to zero with rapidly rate at infinity. In Wikipedia at link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_function, there is a result that $|{\phi ^{\operatorname{ft} }}\left( t \right)| = O({\left| t \right|^{ - \frac{3}{4}}}{e^{ - \sqrt {\left| t \right|} }})$ as $\left|t\right|\to +\infty$. Actually, I want to find a complete proof for this result. Can someone give me a paper which was published has concerned this result, or a hint for proof of this result? Thank you for helping.

I found this article of Steven Johnson where it is perfectly explained how to apply the saddle point method in order to get the wanted inequality: $$\hat{\phi}(t)\ll |t|^{-3/4} e^{-\sqrt{|t|}}.$$
