We dispute the claim that Hermite functions (similar to derivatives of Gaussians) minimize a joint uncertainty relation in space and spatial frequency. These functions are found to maximize rather than minimize the uncertainty of the class of functions consisting of an mth-order polynomial times a Gaussian.
