NEW INVERSION FORMULAS FOR THE KRÄTZEL TRANSFORMATION DOMINGO ISRAEL CRUZ-BÁEZ and JOSÉ RODRÍGUEZ EXPÓSITO (Received 9 June 1999) Abstract. We study in distributional sense by means of the kernel method an integral transform introduced by Krätzel. It is well known that the cited transform generalizes to the Laplace and Meijer transformation. Properties of analyticity, boundedness, and inversion theorems are established for the generalized transformation. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 44A15, 46F12. 1. Introduction. In this paper, we study the following integral transform, ∞ ρ Zρν (xy)f (y) dy, x > 0, Kν f (x) = 0 (1.1) where Zρν (x) denotes the function Zρν (x) = ∞ 0 t ν−1 e−t ρ −x/t dt (1.2) ρ with ρ > 0, ρ ∈ N, ν ∈ C. The Kν transform is reduced to the Meijer transform when ρ = 1 and to the Laplace transform when ρ = 1 and ν = ±1/2. Zemanian realized a wide study of the Laplace and Meijer transformations, in distribution spaces (cf. [12, ρ 13]). Later, Krätzel, introduced the Kν transformation, which generalizes the Meijer transform, and in a series of papers, investigated it in the classical sense (see [5, ρ 6]). In [8], Rao and Debnath investigated the Kν transformation on certain spaces of distributions by means of the kernel method. Recently, the cited transformation is studied in [1] by the adjoint method on the McBride’s spaces. In [3], the study of Krätzel is continued obtaining Abelian, Tauberian theorems, and some inversion formulas in the classical sense. Moreover, we can emphasize in [2] the ρ work developed by the authors studying the Kν transform on weighted Lp spaces, improving a result of [4]. ρ Motivated by the cited papers, we accomplish a study of the Kν transform by means of the kernel method on the space of distributions of compact support. By E(I) we denote the infinitely differentiable functions φ(t), t ∈ I = (0, ∞), such that for all compact K we have dk γk (φ) = sup k φ(t) < ∞, (1.3) dt t∈K for every k ∈ N. By E (I) we denote the dual space of E(I). Moreover, by D(I), D (I) denote the spaces of functions and distributions that can be found in [9, 11]. 254 D. I. CRUZ-BÁEZ AND J. RODRÍGUEZ Consider the following useful properties. In [1] we see that dk ν Z (x) = (−1)k Zρν−k (x). (1.4) dx k ρ By (1.4) and the asymptotic behaviour of Zρν (x), we deduce that for certain positive constant α1 and k ∈ N, we have dk ρ/(ρ+1) ν , (1.5) Z (x) ≤ α1 · x (2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2) e−x dx k ρ for all x ∈ K, K compact and ν ∈ C. Moreover, by [5] we have that if ρ ∈ N, Aρ,ν Zρν (x) = (−1)ρ Zρν (x), where Aρ,ν = −ρ −1 · x ν−ρ+1 (1.6) d ρ−ν dρ x . dx dx ρ (1.7) k On the other hand, Bρ,ν,k denotes Bρ,ν,k = C1 · y −ρk−1 Bρ,ν , where Bρ,ν = x −ν+ρ+1 C1 = d ρ+ν dρ x , dx dx ρ (ρk)ρk−(2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2)−1/(ρ+1)+1 ρ . 2ν−ρ ρk−(2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2)−1/(ρ+1)+1+ν 1 Γ ρk − 2ρ+2 − ρ+1 +1 Γ ρ (1.8) ∞ The Mellin transform is defined by M f (s) = 0 x s−1 f (x)dx and the Mellin transform of the kernel is given by ν s +ν 1 , (1.9) M Zρ (x) (s) = Γ (s)Γ ρ ρ if Re s + min(0, Re ν) > 0. ρ 2. The generalized Kν -transform on E (I). Let ν ∈ C and ρ ∈ N. For every f ∈ ρ E (I) we define the generalized Kν transform by the relation ρ F (x) = Kν f (x) = f (t), Zρν (xt) . (2.1) It is easy to see that Zρν (xt) ∈ E(I) for x fixed, x > 0. Furthermore, if f is a locally absolutely integrable function, then the generalized transform of f is reduced to the ρ classic Kν transform. Proposition 2.1. The operators Aρ,ν and Bρ,ν define a continuous linear mapping from E(I) into itself. Proof. It is established without difficulty that ρ+1 γk Aρ,ν φ ≤ C · γk+j (φ), j=1 for every φ ∈ E(I). ρ+1 γk Bρ,ν φ ≤ C · γk+j (φ), j=1 (2.2) NEW INVERSION FORMULAS FOR THE KRÄTZEL TRANSFORMATION 255 We define the generalized operator A∗ ρ,ν on E (I) as the adjoint operator of Aρ,ν , that is, ∗ Aρ,ν f , φ = f , Aρ,ν φ , (2.3) with f ∈ E (I) and φ ∈ E(I). Moreover, by Proposition 2.1, A∗ ρ,ν is a continuous linear mapping from E (I) into itself. Note that the same occurs for the operator Bρ,ν . ρ Next are established some properties of the generalized Kν transformation. ρ Proposition 2.2. Let f ∈ E (I). If F (x) denotes the generalized Kν transform of f , then F (x) is infinitely differentiable on (0, ∞) and dr ∂r ν F (x) = f (t), Z (xt) , x > 0, r ∈ N. (2.4) ρ dx r ∂x r Proof. Consider h an arbitrary increment in x > 0. Assume, without loss of generality, that 0 < |h| < (x/2)ρ/(ρ+1) . It is easy to see that 1 ν F (x + h) − F (h) = f (t), Zρ t(x + h) − Zρν (tx) . (2.5) h h We must see that ϕh (x, t) = 1 ν ∂ ν Z t(x + h) − Zρν (tx) − Z (xt) → 0 h ρ ∂x ρ (2.6) as h → 0, in the sense of the convergence in E(I), since the result is obtained for k = 1, by (2.5) and the continuity of f (t). For every r ∈ N we can write r 1 x+h u ∂ 2 ∂ ∂r ν ϕ (x, t) = Z (ty) dy du h 2 ∂t r h x ∂t r ρ x ∂y dr 1 x+h u ∂ 2 r ν Z (ty) dy du y = 2 h x d(ty)r ρ x ∂y dr +1 dr 1 x+h u Z ν (ty) + 2r y r −1 t Z ν (ty) r (r − 1)y r −2 = r ρ r +1 ρ h x d(ty) d(ty) x dr +2 r 2 ν +y t Z (ty) dy du. d(ty)r +2 ρ (2.7) By virtue of (1.5), given t ∈ K, K compact, y > x/2, it follows that there exists a positive constant C such that dr +j ρ/(ρ+1) ν , for j ∈ N. (2.8) Z (ty) ≤ C(yt)(2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2) · e−(tx/2) d(ty)r +j ρ Therefore r ∂ ≤ C · t (2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2) · e−(tx/2)ρ/(ρ+1) ϕ (x, t) ∂t r h 1 x+h u r −2 · + y r −1 t + y r t 2 dy du y h x x ρ/(ρ+1) ≤ C · e−α·(tx) for all t ∈ K and 0 < |h| < (x/2)ρ/(ρ+1) , being α a suitable constant. (2.9) 256 D. I. CRUZ-BÁEZ AND J. RODRÍGUEZ Then given $ > 0, there exists t0 ∈ K = [a, b] such that r ∂ <$ ϕ (x, t) ∂t r h (2.10) for t > t0 and 0 < |h| < x ρ/(ρ+1) /2. Furthermore, for each t ∈ [a, t0 ] we have r 1 x+h u ∂ r −2 r −1 r 2 +y t + y t dy du . y ∂t r ϕh (x, t) ≤ C · h x x (2.11) Then (∂ r /∂t r )ϕh (x, t) → 0 as h → 0 uniformly in t ∈ [a, t0 ]. Therefore it is concluded that γr (ϕh (x, t)) → 0 as h → 0. By proceeding inductively the result follows. ρ Proposition 2.3. Let f ∈ E (I) and F (x) = (Kν f )(x) for x > 0, then F (x) ≤ C · x r +(2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2) · e−α x ρ/(ρ+1) , x > 0, (2.12) being C and α suitable constants and r ∈ N. Proof. We know by [13, Theorem 1.8-1, pages 18–19] that there exists r ∈ N such that F (x) ≤ C max γk Z ν (xt) ∀x > 0. (2.13) ρ 0≤k≤r By the asymptotic behaviour we have for every K compact, dk ν F (x) ≤ C max sup x k (xt) Z d(xt)k ρ 0≤k≤r t∈K ρ/(ρ+1) ≤ C max sup x k (xt)(2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2) e−(xt) 0≤k≤r t∈K ρ/(ρ+1) ≤ C · x r +(2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2) · max sup t (2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2) e−(xt) (2.14) 0≤k≤r t∈K ≤ C ·x r +(2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2) −αx ρ/(ρ+1) e . With the following proposition we obtain an operational formula for the generalized ρ Kν transform, that includes the operator A∗ ρ,ν , ρ ∈ N. Proposition 2.4. Let P be a polynomial, if f ∈ E (I), then ρ ρ ∗ Kν P Aρ,ν f (x) = P (−x)ρ Kν f (x) (2.15) for x > 0 and ρ ∈ N. Proof. By (1.6) and according to Proposition 2.1 it follows that ∗ ρ ν Kν P A∗ ρ,ν f (x) = P Aρ,ν f (t), Zρ (xt) = f (t), P Aρ,ν Zρν (xt) = f (t), P (−x)ρ Zρν (xt) ρ = P (−x)ρ Kν f (x). (2.16) NEW INVERSION FORMULAS FOR THE KRÄTZEL TRANSFORMATION 257 ρ Now we establish an inversion theorem for the Kν - transform using a similar procedure to employ by Malgonde and Saxena [7]. Lemma 2.5. Let f ∈ E (I). Then ∞ ∞ x −s f (t), Zρν (xt) dx = f (t), x −s Zρν (xt)dx . 0 0 (2.17) Proof. Let N ∈ N. First, we prove that N 0 N x −s f (t), Zρν (xt) dx = f (t), x −s Zρν (xt)dx . 0 (2.18) We take {xr ,l }lr =0 a partition of the interval [0, N] such that dl = xr ,l − xr −1,l for each r = 1, 2, . . . , l. Then we can write N 0 dl · l x −s f (t), Zρν (xt) dx = lim dl · xr−s,l f (t), Zρν xr ,l t , l r =0 l →∞ xr−s,l f (t), Zρν xr ,l t r =0 = f (t), dl l r =0 xr−s,l Zρν xr ,l t (2.19) . Then (2.18) is established if we demonstrated lim dl l→∞ l r =0 xr−s,l · Zρν xr ,l t = N 0 x −s Zρν (xt) dx in the sense of the convergence in E(I). Then, since the function k ν x −s+k d Zρ (xt) if x ∈ [0, N], k d(xt) g(t, x) = 0 if x = 0, (2.20) (2.21) with t ∈ [a, b], 0 < a < b < ∞, is uniformly continuous on (t, x) ∈ [a, b] × [0, N], we have that if $ > 0 and m ∈ N, there exists l0 ∈ N such that k N l d −s ν −s ν sup k dl xr ,l Zρ xr ,l t − x Zρ (xt) dx (2.22) <$ dt 0 t∈K r =0 for l > l0 . Therefore we obtain (2.20). Using (1.5), for m, k ∈ N, we have that ∞ dk ∞ ρ/(ρ+1) k x −s Zρν (xt)dx ≤ C · t (2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2) x − Re s+(2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2) e−(xt) dx → 0 dt N N (2.23) uniformly in t ∈ K, as N → ∞. Moreover, by Proposition 2.3 we have ∞ ∞ ρ/(ρ+1) x −s f (t), Zρν (xt) dx x −s+r +(2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2) e−αx dx, (2.24) ≤C N being α a suitable constant. N 258 D. I. CRUZ-BÁEZ AND J. RODRÍGUEZ Then lim ∞ N→∞ N x −s f (t), Zρν (xt) dx = 0. (2.25) Hence by (2.18), (2.23), and (2.25) we obtain (2.17). The following lemma is obtained from [7, Lemmas 2 and 3] with a slight modification. Lemma 2.6. Let φ ∈ D(I), we denote ψ(s) = ∞ 0 y −s φ(y) dy. (2.26) Then R R (i) −R f (u), uσ+iw−1 ψ(σ+iw)dw = f (u), −R uσ+iw−1 ψ(σ+iw)dw with σ > 0 and R > 0, ∞ (ii) (1/π ) 0 φ(y)(u/y)σ (sin(R log(u/y))/u log(u/y)) dy → φ(u) as R → ∞, in the sense of the convergence in E(I), with σ > 0. Now we demonstrate the first inversion theorem. Theorem 2.7. Let f ∈ E (I), φ ∈ D(I), ν ∈ C and σ < 1 + min(0, Re ν). Then lim R→∞ 1 2π i σ +iR σ −iR 1 y −s K(s) ∞ 0 x −s F (x) dx ds, φ(y) = f (t), φ(t) , (2.27) ρ where F (x) = (Kν f )(x), for x > 0, and K(s) = 1 Γ (1 − s)Γ ρ 1−s +ν ρ . (2.28) Proof. Given f ∈ E (I), we denote F (x) = f (t), Zρν (xt), for x > 0. It is easy to see that the function ϕR (y) = 1 2π i σ +iR σ −iR 1 y −s K(s) ∞ 0 x −s F (x) dx ds (2.29) is continuous for y > 0, R > 0. Therefore, ϕR (y) defines a regular distribution in D (I) being ϕR (y), φ(y) = 1 2π i ∞ 0 φ(y) σ +iR σ −iR 1 y −s K(s) ∞ 0 x −s F (x) dx ds dy (2.30) for all φ ∈ D(I). By the Fubini’s theorem we can interchange the order of integration and we can write ϕR (y), φ(y) = 1 2π i σ +iR σ −iR 1 K(s) ∞ 0 x −s f (t), Zρν (xt) dx ∞ 0 y −s φ(y) dy ds (2.31) NEW INVERSION FORMULAS FOR THE KRÄTZEL TRANSFORMATION By Lemma 2.5, we get σ +iR ∞ ∞ 1 f (t), t s−1 u−s Zρν (u) du y −s φ(y)dyds σ −iR K(s) 0 0 σ +iR ∞ −s 1 y φ(y) dy ds. f (t), t s−1 = 2π i σ −iR 0 (2.32) ϕR (y), φ(y) = 259 1 2π i Then Lemma 2.6(i) permits us to obtain σ +iR ∞ 1 s−1 t y −s φ(y) dy ds . ϕR (y), φ(y) = f (t), 2π i σ −iR 0 (2.33) Finally, interchanging the order of integration and using Lemma 2.6(ii) we achieve sin R log(u/y) 1 ∞ u σ dy → f (t), φ(t) ϕR (y), φ(y) = f (t), φ(y) π 0 y u log u/y (2.34) as R → ∞. With this, Theorem 2.7 is demonstrated. By Theorem 2.7 the following uniqueness theorem is deduced. ρ ρ Theorem 2.8. Let f , g ∈ E (I) and ν ∈ C. If (Kν f )(x) = (Kν g)(x), for x > 0, then f = g in the sense of an equality in D (I). Proof. It is sufficient to see that for each φ ∈ D(I), f (t) − g(t), φ(t) = 0. This fact is established immediately since, f (t) − g(t), φ(t) σ +iR ∞ ρ ρ 1 1 y −s x −s Kν f (x) − Kν g (x) dx ds, φ(y) = 0, = lim R→∞ 2π i σ −iR K(s) 0 (2.35) where σ and K(s) are as in Theorem 2.7. In the following theorem we obtain another inversion formula, in which appears a generalization of an operator of Post-Widder type, being obtained as a particular case an inversion formula for the Laplace and Meijer transformation. ρ Theorem 2.9. Let f ∈ E (I) and Re ν ≥ ρ/2 − 1. If F (x) denotes the Kν generalized transform of f , then ρk ∗ lim Bρ,ν,k F , φ(y) = f (t), φ(t) (2.36) y k→∞ ∗ is the adjoint operator of Bρ,ν,k . for each φ ∈ D(I), where Bρ,ν,k Proof. Let f ∈ E (I) and F (x) = f (t), Zρν (xt), for x > 0. By Proposition 2.1 and (1.6) we have ρk ρkt ∗ −ρk−1 k ν Bρ,ν,k F = C1 y f (t), Bν,ρ Zρ y y ρkt −ρk−1 k ρk ν = C1 y , f (t), ρ (ρkt) Zρ y C1 being introduced in Section 1. (2.37) 260 D. I. CRUZ-BÁEZ AND J. RODRÍGUEZ ∗ Moreover, Bρ,ν,k F (ρk/y) defines a regular distribution in D (I) by ∗ F Bρ,ν,k ∞ ρk ρk ∗ , φ(y) = φ(y) dy, Bρ,ν,k F y y 0 ∀φ ∈ D(I). (2.38) We must see that ∗ Bρ,ν,k F ∞ ρk ρkt , φ(y) = f (t), C1 t ρk φ(y) dy y −ρk−1 Zρν y y 0 (2.39) for every φ ∈ D(I). Consider 0 < a < b < ∞ such that φ(x) = 0, x ∈ [a, b], φ ∈ D(I). We denote by {ym,l }lm=0 a partition of [a, b] with dl = ym,l − ym,l−1 , m = 1, 2, . . . , l, then we achieve ∞ 0 ∗ Bρ,ν,k F ρk φ(y) dy y = lim dl l→∞ m=0 = lim l→∞ l ∗ Bρ,ν,k F f (t), t ρk ρk ym,l k φ(xm,l ) l ρk C1 ρ (ρk) dl (2.40) m=0 −ρk−1 ym,l Zρν ρkt ym,l φ xm,l . Therefore we must see that lim dl l→∞ l m=0 −ρk−1 ym,l Zρν ρkt ym,l φ ym,l = b a y −ρk−1 Zρν ρkt y φ(y) dy (2.41) in the sense of the convergence in E(I). Consider K ⊂ (0, ∞) compact and r ∈ N.

Thus (2.39) is demonstrated. Zρν ρkt y φ(y) dy (2.43) NEW INVERSION FORMULAS FOR THE KRÄTZEL TRANSFORMATION On the other hand, making a change of variables we obtain ∞ ∞ ρk ρku ∗ φ(y) dy = g(t), C1 t −ρk−1 ψ(u) du Bρ,ν,k F uρk Zρν y t 0 0 with g(t) = (1/t)f (1/t) and ψ(u) = (1/u)φ(1/u). To complete the demonstration we see that ∞ ρku lim C1 t −ρk−1 ψ(u) du = ψ(t) uρk Zρν t k→∞ 0 in the sense of the convergence in E(I). Now, according to (1.9) we have ∞ ρku du uρk−((2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2))−(1/(ρ+1)) Zρν t 0 (ρ+1)k−((2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2))−(1/(ρ+1))+1 1 2ν − ρ t − +1 ρ −1 Γ ρk − = ρk 2ρ + 2 ρ + 1 ρk − ((2ν − ρ)/(2ρ + 2)) − (1/(ρ + 1)) + 1 + ν ·Γ . ρ 261 (2.44) (2.45) (2.46) Then, we can deduce that ∞ d −ρk−1 ρk ν ρku ψ(u) du − ψ(t) t u Z C 1 ρ dt r t 0 ∞ −ρk−1 ρk−((2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2))−(1/(ρ+1)) ν ρku = C1 t u Zρ t 0 r r d u ((2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2))+(1/(ρ+1)) ((2ν−ρ)/(2ρ+2))+(1/(ρ+1)) d · u ψ(u)−t ψ(t) du t du dt r (2.47) r for every r ∈ N.
