Harmonic Analysis on the Real Line

Elijah Liflyand has recently retired from his position at the Department of Mathematics at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, but not from mathematics. He also holds a position at the at the Regional Mathematical Center of Southern Federal University in Rostov-on-Don, Russia. His areas of expertise are in Fourier Analysis, Complex Analysis, and Approximation Theory, among others. With Birkhäuser/Springer, he has published two books: "Decay of the Fourier Transform" (with Alex Iosevich, 2014), and "Functions of Bounded Variation and Their Fourier Transforms" (in the Applied Numerical and Harmonic Analysis series, 2019).

“The book under review takes the reader on a journey along a particular path through the vast landscape of modern harmonic analysis in one real variable. From beginning to end, the text is uniquely flavored by the author’s mathematical interests which provides the reader with a good sense of direction. … The book should be accessible to beginning graduate students in analysis and advanced undergraduates with basic knowledge in real analysis … .” (Joris Roos, zbMATH 1514.42001, 2023)“This book is very accurately described by its subtitle ‘a path in the theory’. The book is at times a textbook, an introduction to harmonic analysis, an essay, or a survey, or some combination of these. … Some theorems are stated and proved, some are discussed, and others are quickly mentioned. It's not a standard path, but an engaging one, offering insights and connections that arenew or not well known.” (‪Charles N. Moore, Mathematical Reviews, September, 2022)
