INDEX TRANSFORMS

by S B Yakubovich (Belarusian State University, Minsk)

This book deals with the theory and some applications of integral transforms that involve integration with respect to an index or parameter of a special function of hypergeometric type as the kernel (index transforms). The basic index transforms are considered, such as the Kontorovich–Lebedev transform, the Mehler–Fock transform, the Olevskii Transform and the Lebedev–Skalskaya transforms. The Lp theory of index transforms is discussed, and new index transforms and convolution constructions are demonstrated. For the first time, the essentially multidimensional Kontorovich–Lebedev transform is announced. General index transform formulae are obtained. The connection between the multidimensional index kernels and G and H functions of several variables is presented. The book is self-contained, and includes a list of symbols with definitions, author and subject indices, and an up-to-date bibliography.

This work will be of interest to researchers and graudate students in the mathematical and physical sciences whose work involves integral transforms and special functions.
