This paper investigates potentials to reconstruct $\\mathcal{P}$ or at least to compute significant properties of $\\mathcal{P}$ if the modulus of the Fourier transform of $\\mathcal{P}$ on $\\mathcal{S}$ with wave length $\\lambda$, i.e., $|\\int_{\\mathcal{P}} e^{-i\\frac{1}{\\lambda}\\mathbf{s}\\cdot\\mathbf{x}} \\,\\mathbf{dx}|$ for $\\mathbf{s}\\in\\mathcal{S}$, is given, $\\lambda$ is sufficiently small and $\\mathcal{P}$ and $\\mathcal{S}$ have some well-defined properties. The main tool is an asymptotic formula for the Fourier transform of $\\mathcal{P}$ with wave length $\\lambda$ when $\\lambda \\rightarrow 0$. The theory of X-ray scattering of nanoparticles motivates this study since the modulus of the Fourier transform of the reflected beam wave vectors are approximately measurable in experiments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-11-13T15:36:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42B10", "52B11", "81U40" ], "keywords": [ "fourier transform", "small wave length", "reconstruction", "dimensional convex polytope", "reflected beam wave vectors" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
