In [[mathematics]], a function ''f'' ∈ ''L''²('''R''') is called ''progressive'' [[if and only if]] its [[Fourier transform]] is supported by positive frequencies only:

In [[mathematics]], a '''progressive function''' ''&fnof;''&nbsp;&isin;&nbsp;''L''²('''R''') is a function whose [[Fourier transform]] is supported by positive frequencies only:<ref>{{cite book |last1=Klees |first1=Roland |last2=Haagmans |first2=Roger |title=Wavelets in the Geosciences |date=6 March 2000 |publisher=Springer Science & Business Media |isbn=978-3-540-66951-7 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6-xW6Bo-UA8C&dq=%22Progressive+function%22+-wikipedia+Fourier+transform&pg=PA13 |language=en}}</ref>

:<math>\mathop{\rm supp}\hat{f} \subseteq \mathbb{R}_+.</math>.

It is called '''super regressive''' if and only if the time reversed function ''f''(&minus;''t'') is progressive, or equivalently, if

:<math>\mathop{\rm supp}\hat{f} \subseteq \mathbb{R}_-.</math>.

The [[complex conjugate]] of a progressive function is regressive, and vice versa.

The space of progressive functions is sometimes denoted <math>H^2_+(R)</math>, which is known as the [[Hardy space]] of the upper half-plane. This is because a progressive function has the Fourier inversion formula

:<math>f(t) = \int_0^\infty e^{2\pi i st} \hat f(s)\, ds</math>

and hence extends to a [[holomorphic]] function on the upper half-plane <math>\{ t + iu: t, u \in R, u \geq 0 \}</math>

and hence extends to a [[holomorphic function]] function on the [[upper half-plane]] <math>\{ t + iu: t, u \in R, u \geq 0 \}</math>

by the formula

:<math>f(t+iu) = \int_0^\infty e^{2\pi i s(t+iu)} \hat f(s)\ ds

:<math>f(t+iu) = \int_0^\infty e^{2\pi i st} e^{-2\pi sus(t+iu)} \hat f(s)\, ds.</math>

:<math>f(t+iu) = \int_0^\infty e^{2\pi i s(t+iu)st} e^{-2\pi su} \hat f(s)\, ds.</math>

Conversely, every holomorphic function on the upper half-plane which is uniformly square-integrable on every horizontal line

will arise in this manner.

Regressive functions are similarly associated with the Hardy space on the lower half-plane <math>\{ t + iu: t, u \in R, u \leq 0 \}</math>.
