“…As a generalization of the FT and FRFT, the LCT equips three free parameters, and can be seen as an affine transformation in time‐frequency domain. Since the LCT's fast discrete algorithms were proposed [ 43‐57 ] , a large number of achievements have emerged in its mathematical foundations (convolution theorems [ 5 , 58‐64 ] , sampling theorems [ 60 , 61 , 65‐79 ] , uncertainty principles [ 80‐91 ] , etc. ), theoretical expansions (time‐frequency analysis [ 92‐99 ] , compressed sensing [ 100 ] , phase retrieval [ 101 ] , etc.…”
