Fourier spectral methods achieve exponential accuracy both on the approximation level and for solving partial differential equations (PDEs), if the solution is analytic. If the solution is discontinuous but piecewise analytic up to the discontinuities, Fourier spectral methods produce poor pointwise accuracy, but still maintains exponential accuracy after post-processing. In earlier work, an extended technique is provided to recover exponential accuracy for functions which have end-point singularities, from the knowledge of point values on standard collocation points. In this paper, we develop a technique to recover exponential accuracy from the first $N$ Fourier coefficients of functions which are analytic in the open interval but have unbounded derivative singularities at end points. With this post-processing method, we are able to obtain exponential accuracy of spectral methods applied to linear transport equations involving such functions.

Given a compact set of real numbers, a random $C^{m + \alpha}$ -diffeomorphism is constructed such that the image of any measure concentrated on the set and satisfying a certain condition involving a real number $s$ , almost surely has Fourier dimension greater than or equal to $s / (m + \alpha)$ . This is used to show that every Borel subset of the real numbers of Hausdorff dimension $s$ is $C^{m + \alpha}$ -equivalent to a set of Fourier dimension greater than or equal to $s / (m + \alpha )$ . In particular every Borel set is diffeomorphic to a Salem set, and the Fourier dimension is not invariant under $C^{m}$ -diffeomorphisms for any $m$ .
