Inversion of the Hankel potential transform

Frank Michael Cholewinski and Deborah Tepper Haimo

Vol. 37 (1971), No. 2, 319–330
Abstract

We consider the Hankel potential transform

            ∫
∞-----t-----
(1.1) f (x) =  0 (x2 +t2)ν+1ϕ(t)dμ (t),ν > 0,

where

                    1
(1.2)  dμ(x) =-ν−1∕2---------x2ν dx.
2     Γ (ν + 1∕2)

This transform is intimately related to the Hankel transform. Indeed, its kernel is the Hankel transform

          t             √π-     ∫ ∞      − tx
(1.3)  (x2-+-t2)ν+1-= 2ν+1∕2Γ (ν-+-1)  𝒥 (xy)e  dμ (y),
0

where

𝒥 (z) = 2v−1∕2Γ (ν + 12)z−ν+1∕2Jν−1∕2(z),

Jγ(z) being the ordinary Bessel function of order γ. Our object is to develop an inversion theory for (1.1) and to exploit the relationship of (1.1) to the Hankel transform.
