Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Journal of Fourier Analysis and Applications is published by Springer US and is in Zone 3 of Mathematics in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Mathematical Analysis and Transform Methods, Advanced Harmonic Analysis Research and Image and Signal Denoising Methods, together about 43.6% of its articles. Its main subfields are Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Physics. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
The Journal of Fourier Analysis and Applications will publish results in Fourier analysis, as well as applicable mathematics having a significant Fourier analytic component. Appropriate manuscripts at the highest research level will be accepted for publication. Because of the extensive, intricate, and fundamental relationship between Fourier analysis and so many other subjects, selected and readable surveys will also be published. These surveys will include historical articles, research tutorials, and expositions of specific topics. The Journal of Fourier Analysis and Applications will provide a perspective and means for centralizing and disseminating new information from the vantage point of Fourier analysis. The breadth of Fourier analysis and diversity of its applicability require that each paper should contain a clear and motivated introduction, which is accessible to all of our readers. Areas of applications include the following: antenna theory * crystallography * fast algorithms * Gabor theory and applications * image processing * number theory * optics * partial differential equations * prediction theory * radar applications * sampling theory * spectral estimation * speech processing * stochastic processes * time-frequency analysis * time series * tomography * turbulence * uncertainty principles * wavelet theory and applications Bibliographic Data First published in 1994 1 volume per year, 6 issues per volume Format: 17 x 24 cm ISSN 1069-5869 (print) ISSN 1531-5851 (electronic) AMS Mathematical Citation Quotient (MCQ): 1.04 (2021)
