h(t + nt max )e ,(t+ntmax) : (1.12)<br />

Thus, by using a complex value <strong>for</strong> the frequency, the time function has been eectively<br />

multiplied by a decaying exponential function. Each successive alias component<br />

of the time function is multiplied by a smaller value. To recover an approximation<br />

of the original, desired function we multiply this result by e t and produce<br />

the result<br />

For the orginal, unaliased component (n = 0), the original signal is recovered. For<br />

all positive values of n, the signal is attenuated by an ever smaller factor { the<br />

aliased signal is still there, but it is attenuated. The method fails if the time series<br />

has non-zero values <strong>for</strong> negative times (n
