8.1. The Hankel Transform

We consider the Hankel integral transform dened in (2.6.1) by

H

f

(x) =

Z

(xt)

1=2

J

(xt)f(t)dt (x > 0) (8.1.1)

for Re() > 1. This transform (8.1.1) is clearly dened for a continuous function f 2 C

with compact support on R

for the range of parameters indicated.
