Stability of the Faber-Krahn inequality for the short-time Fourier transform

Joao Pedro Gonçalves Ramos, Jaime Gómez Ramírez

We prove a sharp quantitative version of the Faber–Krahn inequality for the short-time Fourier transform (STFT). To do so, we consider a deficit which measures by how much the STFT of a function fails to be optimally concentrated on an arbitrary set of pos ...
