This book is intended to serve as introductory and reference material for the application of integral transforms to a range of common mathematical problems. It has its im mediate origin in lecture notes prepared for senior level courses at the Australian National University, although I owe a great deal to my colleague Barry Ninham, a matter to which I refer below. In preparing the notes for publication as a book, I have added a considerable amount of material ad- tional to the lecture notes, with the intention of making the book more useful, particularly to the graduate student - volved in the solution of mathematical problems in the physi cal, chemical, engineering and related sciences. Any book is necessarily a statement of the author's viewpoint, and involves a number of compromises. My prime consideration has been to produce a work whose scope is selective rather than encyclopedic; consequently there are many facets of the subject which have been omitted--in not a few cases after a preliminary draft was written--because I v believe that their inclusion would make the book too long.

Keeping the style, content, and focus that made the first edition a bestseller, Integral Transforms and their Applications, Second Edition stresses the development of analytical skills rather than the importance of more abstract formulation. The authors provide a working knowledge of the analytical methods required in pure and applied mathematics, physics, and engineering. The second edition includes many new applications, exercises, comments, and observations with some sections entirely rewritten. It contains more than 500 worked examples and exercises with answers as well as hints to selected exercises. The most significant changes in the second edition include: New chapters on fractional calculus and its applications to ordinary and partial differential equations, wavelets and wavelet transformations, and Radon transform Revised chapter on Fourier transforms, including new sections on Fourier transforms of generalized functions, Poissons summation formula, Gibbs phenomenon, and Heisenbergs uncertainty principle A wide variety of applications has been selected from areas of ordinary and partial differential equations, integral equations, fluid mechanics and elasticity, mathematical statistics, fractional ordinary and partial differential equations, and special functions A broad spectrum of exercises at the end of each chapter further develops analytical skills in the theory and applications of transform methods and a deeper insight into the subject A systematic mathematical treatment of the theory and method of integral transforms, the book provides a clear understanding of the subject and its varied applications in mathematics, applied mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering.

The Fourier, Laplace, Mellin, Hilbert, and Hankel transforms are classic examples of integral equations with numerous applications in several fields of science and engineering, When mapping a function from one domain into another, integral transforms provide an elegant solution for many mathematical problems that are algebraically difficult to solve in their original domain but of simpler solution in the target domain. The Fourier transform, for example, maps an original signal (represented by a function of time) into its coresponding power spectrum in the frequency domain. Therefore, the Fourier transform plays an essential role in data analysis of periodic signals, decomposing the incoming signal into the frequencies that its consists of. The Laplace transform converts a convolution in the original domain into a simple multiplication in the target domain. This transform has extensive applications in the fields of engineering and physics research involving the analysis of time-invariant systems in which the output signal is calculated as the convolution between the impulse response and the input signal. Many applications of probability theory also rely on integral transforms, such as statistics that are based on kernel functions. This book is a collection of contemporary open access articles which highlight the importance of integral transforms and their applications. In particular, three topics are discussed: Analysis of generalized functions for integral transform and their properties; Methods for solving the Cauchy problem (initial value or boundary problems) for space-time partial differential equations; Applications of integral transform, including fractional methods, to solving systems of differential equations in physics, signal processing, quantum mechanics and mechanical engineering. The generalization of global estimates for various integral transforms is discussed by Vindas & Estrada (2006). The properties kernels of Laplace-typed integral transform and q-Laplace transforms were studied by Kim (2017) and Naik & Haubold (2016), respectively. Transform methods for convex polygons are derived by Crowdy (2015); the analysis of singular integral equations (Li, 2017); matrix integral transforms (Yaremko & Yaremko, 2016), Sumudu transforms (Rahman & Ahmad, 2015) are also included in this book. The remaining content of this book focuses on applications of the integral transform as a method for solving various differential equations. This book is mainly addressed to physicists, advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the Natural Sciences and Mechanical Engineering. Book jacket.

Describes four important integral transforms: Fourier transform, Laplace transform, Mellin transform, and Hankel transform, together with their application. These four integral transforms have been defined and their inversion formulas have been derived. They have been used in finding the solution of many physical problems. These problems include evolution of some definite integrals, integral equations involving Fourier kernel, solution of some partial differential equations with given initial and boundary conditions, which are of importance in mathematical physics.

This book describes mathematical techniques for integral transforms in a detailed but concise manner. The techniques are subsequently applied to the standard partial differential equations, such as the Laplace equation, the wave equation and elasticity equations. Green’s functions for beams, plates and acoustic media are also shown, along with their mathematical derivations. The Cagniard-de Hoop method for double inversion is described in detail and 2D and 3D elastodynamic problems are treated in full. This new edition explains in detail how to introduce the branch cut for the multi-valued square root function. Further, an exact closed form Green’s function for torsional waves is presented, as well as an application technique of the complex integral, which includes the square root function and an application technique of the complex integral.
