“…On the other hand, problems originating from physics, such as singularities and point-source fields, also suggest us to consider alternative modeling, ranging from non-smooth functions as test functions in the theory of distributions (see e.g. [58] and references therein) to non-Archimedean analysis (i.e. mathematical analysis over a ring extending the real field and containing infinitesimal and/or infinite numbers, see [29,18]).…”

Using the existence of infinite numbers k in the non-Archimedean ring of Robinson-Colombeau, we define the hyperfinite Fourier transform (HFT) by considering integration extended to [−k, k] n instead of (−∞, ∞) n . In order to realize this idea, the space of generalized functions we consider is that of generalized smooth functions (GSF), an extension of classical distribution theory sharing many nonlinear properties with ordinary smooth functions, like the closure with respect to composition, a good integration theory, and several classical theorems of calculus. Even if the final transform depends on k, we obtain a new notion that applies to all GSF, in particular to all Schwartz's distributions and to all Colombeau generalized functions, without growth restrictions. We prove that this FT generalizes several classical properties of the ordinary FT, and in this way we also overcome the difficulties of FT in Colombeau's settings. Differences in some formulas, such as in the transform of derivatives, reveal to be meaningful since allow to obtain also non-tempered global unique solutions of differential equations.
