Congratulations, Dr. Kinali!

Attila, it was a pleasure to meet you for dinner in Koln a few years ago, and I hope the Sulzer is working well for you!

Through the formalism of math he redefines a Fourier transform that does work in a mathematical sense while being consistent with the traditional one and hence useful. The key issue is that some functions tend to integrate to infinity while they are in fact power limited, so it's only the length of integration that scales them to infinity. This is where engineering use cheats but a math strict approach cannot cheat.
