It is noticed that the results presented in this article are known for positive definite \\(q\\). Two types of distributions which optimize the uncertainty principle for the case with which this paper deals are described.  Six exhaustive sections constitute the paper. Elementary definitions, preliminary results and terminologies that are most relevant to the present paper are included in Section 2. In Section 3, Theorem 1.2 is established in its special case when all the eigenvalues of \\(q\\) have the same absolute value. Three corollaries of Theorem 1.2 expose the concept of the theory with regard to which this article is written. Section 4 proves that if \\(q\\) has the form given by Equation (1.5), then certain distributions belonging to a class of spaces, generate it by linear combinations. In Section 5, Theorem 1.2 is proved and a generalization of Theorem 1.6 is given that generalizes it to an arbitrary non-degenerate quadratic form \\(q\\). Using the canonical quadratic form (cf. Section 3), Theorem 1.7 is proved in Section 6.","citation":[{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3293603"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5528073"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1413717"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3066575"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5724171"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4314473"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1192104"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4007916"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1271406"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5640160"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2557869"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4047966"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5846799"}]},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-01-22T16:19:15Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
