The optimal transform for the discrete Hirschman uncertainty principle

We describe all functions, defined on a finite cyclic group, minimizing the discrete Hirschman inequality. These functions can be organized into orthonormal basis in the corresponding, finite dimensional, Hilbert space. The linear operation of representing any function in one of these basis is the transform.
