Multidimensional Integral Transformations

A cross between a textbook and a monograph, this extensive introduction discusses all of the most important transformations, compiling information otherwise scattered throughout the literature. Attention is concentrated on the operational calculus of the major integral transformations and some of its applications, with an investigation of transforms in spaces of functions and of distributions.

This is a substantially updated, extended and reorganized third edition of an introductory text on the use of integral transforms. Chapter I is largely new, covering introductory aspects of complex variable theory. Emphasis is on the development of techniques and the connection between properties of transforms and the kind of problems for which they provide tools. Around 400 problems are accompanied in the text. It will be useful for graduate students and researchers working in mathematics and physics.

Multidimensional Singular Integrals and Integral Equations presents the results of the theory of multidimensional singular integrals and of equations containing such integrals. Emphasis is on singular integrals taken over Euclidean space or in the closed manifold of Liapounov and equations containing such integrals. This volume is comprised of eight chapters and begins with an overview of some theorems on linear equations in Banach spaces, followed by a discussion on the simplest properties of multidimensional singular integrals. Subsequent chapters deal with compounding of singular integrals; properties of the symbol, with particular reference to Fourier transform of a kernel and the symbol of a singular operator; singular integrals in Lp spaces; and singular integral equations. The differentiation of integrals with a weak singularity is also considered, along with the rule for the multiplication of the symbols in the general case. The final chapter describes several applications of multidimensional singular integral equations to boundary problems in mathematical physics. This book will be of interest to mathematicians and students of mathematics.

English translation (from revised and enlarged versions of the Russian editions of 1977 and 1984) of a reference work which makes available to engineers, physicists and applied mathematicians theoretical and tabular material pertaining to certain extensions of standard integral transform techniques. Diverse transforms are touched upon, but the emphasis (particularly in the tables) is on generalized Fourier and Laplace transforms. Some multi-dimensional results are presented. Expensive, but nicely produced, and redundant with nothing standard to the reference shelves of mathematical libraries. (NW) Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Fractional Integral Transforms: Theory and Applications presents over twenty-five integral transforms, many of which have never before been collected in one single volume. Some transforms are classic, such as Laplace, Fourier, etc, and some are relatively new, such as the Fractional Fourier, Gyrator, Linear Canonical, Special Affine Fourier Transforms, as well as, continuous Wavelet, Ridgelet, and Shearlet transforms. The book provides an overview of the theory of fractional integral transforms with examples of such transforms, before delving deeper into the study of important fractional transforms, including the fractional Fourier transform. Applications of fractional integral transforms in signal processing and optics are highlighted. The book’s format has been designed to make it easy for readers to extract the essential information they need to learn the about the fundamental properties of each transform. Supporting proofs and explanations are given throughout. Features Brings together integral transforms never before collected into a single volume A useful resource on fractional integral transforms for researchers and graduate students in mathematical analysis, applied mathematics, physics and engineering Written in an accessible style with detailed proofs and emphasis on providing the reader with an easy access to the essential properties of important fractional integral transforms Ahmed I.

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.

In conclusion, it is useful book for research workers in the fields of integral transforms, special functions and fractional calculus.” Mathematics Abstracts “This is a well written book and it will be of interest not only to researchers but also to graduate students who are interested in the theory of integral transformations.” Mathematical Reviews “… This book presents a rather systematic and lucid account of the theory and applications of a fairly large variety of index transformations whose kernels involve not only the familiar Legendre and modified Bessel (or Macdonald) functions, but indeed also the Gaussian and other generalized hypergeometric functions, Meijer's G-function, and Foxs H-function. This state-of-the-art presentation of index transformations is recommended to all those graduate students and researchers (and other users of mathematics) who may find the various mathematical tools developed in this book to be potentially applicable in their works …” From the Foreword by H M Srivastava

Fractional Integrals, Potentials, and Radon Transforms, Second Edition presents recent developments in the fractional calculus of functions of one and several real variables, and shows the relation of this field to a variety of areas in pure and applied mathematics. In this thoroughly revised new edition, the book aims to explore how fractional integrals occur in the study of diverse Radon type transforms in integral geometry. Beyond some basic properties of fractional integrals in one and many dimensions, this book also contains a mathematical theory of certain important weakly singular integral equations of the first kind arising in mechanics, diffraction theory and other areas of mathematical physics. The author focuses on explicit inversion formulae that can be obtained by making use of the classical Marchaud’s approach and its generalization, leading to wavelet type representations. New to this Edition Two new chapters and a new appendix, related to Radon transforms and harmonic analysis of linear operators commuting with rotations and dilations have been added. Contains new exercises and bibliographical notes along with a thoroughly expanded list of references. This book is suitable for mathematical physicists and pure mathematicians researching in the area of integral equations, integral transforms, and related harmonic analysis.

The Mellin transformation is widely used in various problems of pure and applied mathematics, in particular, in the theory of differential and integral equations and the theory of Dirichlet series. It is found in extensive applications in mathematical physics, number theory, mathematical statistics, theory of asymptotic expansions, and especially, in the theory of special functions and integral transformations. It is essentially used in algorithms of integration in computer algebra systems. Since the majority of integrals encountered in applications can be reduced to the form of the corresponding Mellin transforms with specific parameters, this handbook can also be used for definite and indefinite integrals. By changes in variables, the Mellin transform can be turned into the Fourier and Laplace transforms. The appendices contain formulas of connection with other integral transformations, and an algorithm for determining regions of convergence of integrals. The Handbook of Mellin Transforms will be of interest and useful to all researchers and engineers who use mathematical methods. It will become the main source of formulas of Mellin transforms, as well as indefinite and definite integrals.
