Zeros of the Zak transform of totally positive functions
arXiv:1411.1539
Abstract
We study the Zak transform of totally positive (TP) functions. We use the convergence of the Zak transform of TP functions of finite type to prove that the Zak transforms of all TP functions without Gaussian factor in the Fourier transform have only one zero in their fundamental domain of quasi-periodicity. Our proof is based on complex analysis, especially the Theorem of Hurwitz and some real analytic arguments, where we use the connection of TP functions of finite type and exponential B-splines.
The results were presented on the "International Conference on Modern Time-Frequency Analysis" in Strobl, Austria, June 2 - 6th, 2014
