Abstract

We show that the short-time Fourier transform of the pointwise product of two functions f and h can be written as a suitable product of the short-time Fourier transforms of f and h. The same result is then shown to be valid for the Wigner wave-packet transform. We study the main properties of the new products. We then use these products to derive integro-differential equations on the time-frequency space equivalent to, and generalizing, the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We also obtain the Weyl-Wigner-Moyal equation satisfied by the Wigner-Ville function associated with the solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The new equation resembles the Boltzmann equation.
