K v,t) is called the transform kernel. For the Fourier transform the kernel is e j ". Other transforms (see Section 40.8) are the Hadamard, wavelet and the Laplace transforms [4]. 

Resorting to the definition of the Fourier transform, Eq. (2.9), we notice that for the redundant coordinates the harmonic kernel degenerates and becomes exp (0) = 1. Thus for the redundant coordinates the Fourier transform turns into a simple integration with respect to the respective reciprocal coordinate20 - a projection . 

In practical calculations it is faster to calculate Fourier transforms (with fast Fourier transform (FFT) routines), so usually the Fourier transform of the friction kernel is introduced ... 

It is assumed that the time-dependent charge p(r, t) and response linear integral operator K with the time-dependent kernel K(r, , ) the quantities in Equation (1.134) are the relevant Fourier transforms. The solution can be found [13]... 

In computational practice, such solutions are restricted by the approximation that the solvent is uniform and isotropic. It defines in the real space the susceptibility kernel as x(r, r ) = x( (r - f ). The counterpart in the -domain obtained via Fourier transform, reads x(k) = x(k), where k = k. The representation for s is similar. Parameterization... 

A central ingredient in the model is the generalized friction coefficient y(co), which is the Fourier transform of the retarded memory kernel y(f). To compute y(oo), following a standard procedure, one first attributes a small imaginary part e > 0 to co. One thus defines... 

This approximation requires the xc kernel of the homogeneous electron gas as input. In order to investigate this quantity we consider Eq. (159) in the homogeneous case. Fourier transformation with respect to (r — F) and (t — t ) leads to... 

In general, the Fourier transform of the xc kernel defined by Eq. (321) is frequency dependent (even in the TD x-only case), a feature which is not accounted for by the present approximation (325). However, for the special case of a two-electron system treated within TD x-only theory, Eqs. (323) and (325) are the exact solutions of the respective integral equations. 

At this stage of development the theory is already mature to allow the extraction of 4>(t) from 8 t). In fact, since both kernels (14) and (15) do not depend on t and t separately, but only on the ratio t/r, the integral (17) can be reduced to a convolution integral which can be solved for 4> t) by standard techniques taken from the theory of Fourier transform. These rigorous methods, however, are not flexible and do not allow people to understand the physical meaning of the parameters contained in the experimental datum.

Equation (12) provides the diagnostic we have been looking for. Note that the correction to the friction kernel due to the promoting vibration is proportional to s(t)s(0). Suppose we perform a simulation where we have imposed constraints to keep the transferred proton fixed, so that the correction term is proportional to x(0)2. If we keep the proton fixed near the TS,, v = 0, the correction term will be very small. If we keep it fixed away from the TS (most simply, at the reactant or product configuration), the correction term will be nonzero. In addition, if we take the Fourier transform of Equation (12), the presence of the trigonometric terms in the correction term will produce large peaks at the frequency of the promoting vibration. 

In conclusion, if we perform simulations with the transferred proton fixed near and away the TS, and then take a Fourier transform of the calculated friction kernel, if we see sharp peaks for the latter simulation that are absent when the proton is held fixed near the TS, then we have evidence that a promoting vibration is present, and the position of the peak is an indication of its frequency. In the next section we will discuss examples of enzyme simulations where this diagnostic was successful.

Fourier transformation cannot be applied for transformation of the general form of the time-domain signal. Instead, a kernel K btj, t) for the Fredholm integral equation of the first kind ... 

But, in spite of the simplicity and availability of the Fourier transformation and qualitative agreement between the results obtained by this method and the known experimental data, the use of the Fourier procedure for the determination of the local atomic structure parameters from SEFS spectra turns out to be unsatisfactory even on the semiquantitative level. Taking into account oscillations of two types in the kernel of the integral equation of the SEFS method [Eqs. (92), (93)] calls for direct solution of the inverse problem.
