Questions tagged [integral-transforms]
This covers all transformations of functions by integrals, including but not limited to the Radon, X-Ray, Hilbert, Mellin transforms. Use (wavelet-transform), (laplace-transform) for those respective transforms, and use (fourier-analysis) for questions about the Fourier and Fourier-sine/cosine transforms.

On consequences of Titchmarsh theorem: can the analytical extension of the complex refractive index cross the negative real axis?
I will begin with the mathematical question at hand, and then describe technical details that were the background of the question, and then some possible approaches, although I clearly have not solved ...

On Chebychev type inequality for Lp-first oder difference
Let $p\geq 1$ and $u\in L^p(\Bbb R)$, for $t>0$ define $$U(t)= \frac12\int_{\Bbb R} (|u(x+t)-u(x)|^p+|u(x-t)-u(x)|^p) d x.$$ $$U_+(t)= \int_{\Bbb R} |u(x+t)-u(x)|^p d x.$$ Then we find that $(0,\...

What is the practical use of Laplace inversion formula?
We know that applying the Laplace transform converts an ordinary differential equation into an algebraic equation, and we typically invert this transform to recover the solution. In most cases, the ...

Can the derivative be considered as a convolution / integral transform? [duplicate]
Many integral transforms have inverse kernels. The Fourier transfrom is an involution but others aren't. Differentiation is the inverse of integration, and integration of some functions like ...

Is the integral exponential of a convolution injective?
Consider the transform $T:L^1_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb R)\to(0,\infty]^{\mathbb R}$ \begin{equation} (Tg)(x)=\int_0^\infty\exp\{-(\phi_t \ast g)(x)\}\,dt. \end{equation} where $\phi_t$ is the "tent&...

Integral transform with Gaussian kernel
Let $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be a nice function (e.g. Schwartz, $L^2$, ...). I wonder if there's a name for the transform $$ T[f](y) := \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-yx^{2}}f(x) \mathrm{d}x. $$ (...

What is the Kontorovich–Lebedev transform of $K_0\left(\left(r^2+\rho^2+2r\rho\cos\alpha\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)$?
We define the Kontorovich–Lebedev transform as $$ F(\nu) = \int_{0}^\infty f(r) K_{i\nu} (r) \, r^{-1}\, \mathrm{d}r \, , $$ where $K_\nu$ denotes the $\nu$th order modified Bessel function of the ...

Sifting property of Dirac delta function
For a function $f(t)$ of a single variable, I know the following property of the Dirac delta function: $\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(t) \delta(t-a) \, dt = f(a).$ But, what if we have a function of two or ...
