If f ∈ Lp (— ∞, ∞), 1 < p ≤ 2, then f has a Fourier-Plancherel transform F ∈ Lq (— ∞, ∞) where p-1 + q-1 = 1. Also if ∣x∣1-2/qf(x)Lq (— ∞, ∞), q ≥ 2, then / has a Fourier-Plancherel transform F ∈ Lq (— ∞, ∞). These results can be found in (2, Theorems 74 and 79). In neither case, however, does the collection of transforms cover Lq, except when p = q = 2, and in neither case, with the same exception, has the collection of transforms been characterized.

Further, if f ∈ Lp, (— ∞, ∞), 1 < p ≤ 2, then its transform F has the property |x|1-2/pF(x) ∈ Lp (— ∞, ∞) (see 2, Theorem 80) but, except when p = 2, the collection of transforms does not cover the set of functions with this property, and again, except when p = 2, the collection of transforms has not been characterized.
