Extrapolation Methods for Oscillatory Infinite Integrals

The non-linear transformations for accelerating the convergenceof slowly convergent infinite integrals due to Levin & Sidi(1975) are modified in two ways. These modifications enableone to evaluate accurately some oscillatory infinite integralswith less work. Special emphasis is placed on the evaluationof Fourier and Hankel transforms and some simple algorithmsfor them are given. Convergence properties of these modificationsare analysed in some detail and powerful convergence theoremsare proved for certain cases including those of the Fourierand Hankel transforms treated here. Several numerical examplesare also supplied.

A discrete transform with a Bessel function kernel is defined, as a finite sum, over the zeros of the Bessel function. The approximate inverse of this transform is derived as another finite sum. This development is in parallel to that of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) which lead to the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. The discrete Hankel transform with kernel Jo, the Bessel function of the first kind of order zero, will be used as an illustration for deriving the discrete Hankel transform, its inverse and a number of its basic properties. This includes the convolution product which is necessary for solving boundary problems. Other applications include evaluating Hankel transforms, Bessel series and replacing higher dimension Fourier transforms, with circular symmetry, by a single Hankel transform     

On the Hankel transformation of order zero

In this paper we write the Hankel transform of order zero of a function as a composition of Fourier transforms, and a new proof is given for Hankel's theorem on Hankel transformation of order zero.     

Tables of Fourier, Laplace and Hankel Transforms of (u,n)-Dimensional Generalized Functions

The present note contains the Tables of Fourier, Laplace and Hankel transforms of several dimensional generalized functions. They are, mainly, based on the Laplace transform of retarded, Lorentz-invariant functions and the Fourier transforms of causal distributions.     

Generalized Integral Transforms with the Homotopy Perturbation Method

This paper applies He’s homotopy perturbation method to compute a large variety of integral transforms. The Esscher, Fourier, Hankel, Laplace, Mellin and Stieljes integrals transforms are particular cases of our generalized integral transform. Our method is of practical importance in order to derive new integration formulae, to approximate certain difficult integrals as well as to calculate the expectation of certain nonlinear functions of random variable.     

Repeating Use of Integral Transforms--A New Method for Evaluation of Some Infinite Integrals

A new method for evaluation of infinite integrals is proposed.The integrals are derived by applying the same or differentintegral transforms twice. The integral transforms of Laplace,Fourier, Mellin, Hankel, K, Y-Bessel, H-Struve, Stieltjes, generalizedStieltjes, Kantrovich and Lebedev were used. Using the proposedmethod, a number of new infinite integrals of elementary andspecial functions were derived.     

Distributional Chébli-Trimèche transforms

In this paper we investigate the distributional Chébli-Trimèche transforms. We use the so-called kernel method and we are inspired by the papers of Dube and Pandey [L.S. Dube, J.N. Pandey, On the Hankel transform of distributions, Tôhoku Math. J. 27 (1975) 337-354] and Koh and Zemanian [E.L. Koh, A.H. Zemanian, The complex Hankel and I-transformations of generalized functions, SIAM J. Appl. Math. 16 (1968) 945-957] about distributional Hankel transforms. We note that our procedure, supported in a representation of the elements in the corresponding dual spaces, is simpler than the methods described in the above mentioned papers. Some applications of our distributional theory are presented.     

Lanczos-Like σ-Factors for Reducing the Gibbs Phenomenon in General Orthogonal Expansions and Other Representations

The first attempt for reducing the Gibbs phenomenon in an orthogonalexpansion, besides the usual one of Fourier series, is due to Cooke in1927–1928 for the Fourier Bessel series.However, his work was limited tothe well-known Fejer averaging of the series. For the past 10 years or so,we have tried a parallel to the more effective Lanczos-type localaveraging method of the Fourier series. As expected, such efforts werehindered by the lack of realizable tools for the general orthogonalexpansion that parallels the familiar simple ones of the Fourier seriesand transforms. During the past 3 years, we have succeeded in developinga simple direct method of filtering the Gibbs phenomenon in Fourier--Besselseries, Hankel transforms representation, and a number of orthogonalpolynomials series expansions. This parallels the equivalent result ofLanczos, which he obtained for his local averaging with the help ofthe (Fourier) convolution theorem.     

Non-axisymmetric consolidation of poroelastic multilayered materials with anisotropic permeability and compressible constituents

This paper presents an analytical layer-element solution to non-axisymmetric consolidation of multilayered poroelastic materials with anisotropic permeability and compressible constituents. By applying Fourier expansions, Hankel transforms and Laplace transforms to the state variables involved in the governing equations of poroelasticity with respect to the circumferential, radial and time coordinates, respectively, the analytical layer-element (i.e. a symmetric stiffness matrix) is derived, which describes the relationship between the transformed generalized stresses and displacements at the surface (z = 0) and those at an arbitrary depth z, considering the corresponding boundary and continuity conditions at the layer interfaces, the global stiffness matrix of a multilayered system is assembled in the transformed domain. The actual solutions in the physical domain are acquired by applying numerical quadrature schemes for the inversion of the Laplace–Hankel transform. Finally, numerical calculation is presented to investigate the influence of layering and poroelastic material parameters on consolidation process.     

A criterion for a two-sided integral transform to be unitary

A criterion for a two-sided Watson transform to be unitary in the space L₂(R) is considered. It enables us to construct new examples of integral transforms with symmetric inversion formulas (only the Fourier and the Hartley transforms are known). We give some new examples of the indicated transforms, in particular, the symmetric Hankel transform with the sum of two Bessel functions in the kernal and the Hardy transform with the sum of a Neumann function and a Struve function in the kernel, and the Narain transform with a sum of two G-functions in the kernelDoctor of Physicomathematical sciences.Candidate of Physicomathematical sciences.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 5, pp. 697–699, May, 1992.     

Fracture of a piezoelectric fiber/elastic matrix composite

A piezoelectric fiber/elastic matrix system subjected to axially symmetric mechanical and electric loads is considered. The fiber contains a penny-shaped crack located at its center perpendicularly to the fiber. By using the Fourier and Hankel transforms, the problem is reduced to the solution of an integral equation. Numerical solutions for the crack tip fields are obtained for various crack sizes and different fiber volume fractions.

The Wiener-Hopf method of solving the linear integral equation can be carried out conveniently and efficiently using the FastFourier Transform. Given the values of h(t) and g(t) at equidistantpoints along the t-axis, the solution f(t) is obtained by dintof seven Fourier transforms.     

Riordan arrays and the LDU decomposition of symmetric Toeplitz plus Hankel matrices

We examine a result of Basor and Ehrhardt concerning Hankel and Toeplitz plus Hankel matrices, within the context of the Riordan group of lower-triangular matrices. This allows us to determine the LDU decomposition of certain symmetric Toeplitz plus Hankel matrices. We also determine the generating functions and Hankel transforms of associated sequences.     

On the Fast Fourier Transform Inversion of Probability Generating Functions

The fast Fourier transform can be used to invert z transforms(including probability generating functions), but this applicationhas received little attention or use. This correspondence makesa case for the FFT as a standard numerical tool in queuing andother statistical analyses in order to obtain probability densityfunctions quickly and easily. Round-off and aliasing errorsare discussed briefly for the queuing analyst without a signalprocessing background. Several variations are described whichextend the accuracy and the utility of the method.     

Some Eigenfunction Methods for Computing a Numerical Fourier Transform

A number of methods for calculating the Fourier transform ofa function given numerically are studied. These methods exploitthe fact that the Hermite functions are eigen-functions of theFourier transform. The transforms of four types of functionsare considered: (i) functions of the form p(x) exp (–x²/2),where p(x) is a polynomial, (ii) functions with bounded support.(iii) rapidly decreasing functions, and (iv) functions whosetransform has bounded support. In each case algorithms for calculatingthe transformed function are derived. Error estimates are madein two of the cases and results of numerical experiments presentedin an appendix.     

Truncations of multilinear Hankel operators

We extend to multilinear Hankel operators the fact that some truncations of bounded Hankel operators are still bounded. We prove and use a continuity property of bilinear Hilbert transforms on products of Lipschitz spaces and Hardy spaces.

     

On the Fourier transform of SO(d)-finite measures on the unit sphere

The paper presents a simple new approach to the problem of computing Fourier transforms of SO(d)-finite measures on the unit sphere in the euclidean space. Representing such measures as restrictions of homogeneous polynomials we use the canonical decomposition of homogeneous polynomials together with the plane wave expansion to derive a formula expressing such transforms under two forms, one of which was established previously by F. J. Gonzalez Vieli. We showthat equivalence of these two forms is related to a certain multi-step recurrence relation for Bessel functions, which encompasses several classical identities satisfied by Bessel functions. We show it leads further to a certain periodicity relation for the Hankel transform, related to the Bochner- Coifman periodicity relation for the Fourier transform. The purported novelty of this approach rests on the systematic use of the detailed form of the canonical decomposition of homogeneous polynomials, which replaces the more traditional approach based on integral identities related to the Funk-Hecke theorem. In fact, in the companion paper the present authors were able to deduce this way a fairly general expansion theorem for zonal functions, which includes the plane wave expansion used here as a special case.Received: 7 May 2004; revised: 11 October 2004     

Convolution Hankel Transforms on the Zemanian Spaces

In this paper we investigate the convolution Hankel transforms on the Zemanian spaces of Hankel transformable functions and distributions. The convolution Hankel transform is defined on generalized functions by using the adjoint method. Our new definition includes as special cases other known definitions of the convolution Hankel transform of distributions. Finally we establish a distributional inversion formula for the transformation under consideration involving Bessel differential operators.     

A Note on Recent Papers by Grafakos and Teschl,and Estrada

We indicate how recent results of Grafakos and Teschl (J Fourier Anal Appl 19:167–179, 2013), and Estrada (J Fourier Anal Appl 20:301–320, 2014), relating the Fourier transform of a radial function in \(\mathbb R^n\) and the Fourier transform of the same function in \(\mathbb R^{n+2}\) and \(\mathbb R^{n+1}\) , respectively, are located within known results on transplantation for Hankel transforms.     

A Note on a Maximal Function Over Arbitrary Sets of Directions

Let M_S be the universal maximal operator over unit vectors ofarbitrary directions. This operator is not bounded in L²(R²).We consider a sequence of operators over sets of finite equidistributeddirections converging to M_S. We provide a new proof of N. Katz'sbound for such operators. As a corollary, we deduce that M_Sis bounded from some subsets of L² to L². These subsets arecomposed of positive functions whose Fourier transforms havea logarithmic decay or which are supported on a disc. 1991 MathematicsSubject Classification 42B25.
