Abstract

The fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) for quasi-periodic Bloch functions is studied. An isomorphism between square-integrable functions on the real line and quasi-periodic Bloch functions is used to extend existing work on the fractional Fourier transform for the former functions to the latter. The properties of the FRFT for quasi-periodic Bloch functions are discussed, and various numerical examples are presented.
