Abstract

In the present paper the authors introduce the E2,1-transform with kernel the exponential integral function. It is shown that the third iterate of the L2-transform is the exponential integral transform, and some identities involving the new transform, the L2-transform and the Widder potential transform are given. Using the identities, Parseval–Goldstein type results involving these transforms are proved. Some illustrative examples are also given.

Introduction

In this paper, we introduce the E2,1-transform asE2,1{f(x);y}=0xexp(x2y2)E1(x2y2)f(x)dx,where E1(x) is the exponential integral function defined asE1(x)=-Ei(-x)=xe-uudu=1e-xttdt.The L2-transformL2{f(x);y}=0xexp(-x2y2)f(x)dx,is introduced in [12] and the Widder potential transformP{f(x);y}=0xf(x)x2+y2dx,is studied in [6]. It is well known that the second iterate of the L2-transform is the Widder potential transform; that is,L22{f(x);y}=L2{L2{f(x);u};y}=P{f(x);y},provided that integrals involved converge absolutely, (cf. [12, Eq. (2.1)]). These transforms were studied in [7], [8], [10], [11].

The L2-transform and the Laplace transform are related by the identityL2{f(x);y}=12L{f(x);y2},in which the Laplace transform is defined asL{f(x);y}=0exp(-xy)f(x)dx.The Widder potential transform and the Stieltjes transform are related by the identityP{f(x);y}=12S{f(x);y2},in which the Stieltjes transform is defined asS{f(x);y}=0f(x)x+ydx.In this paper, it is shown that the third iterate of the L2-transform is a constant multiple of the E2,1-transform as defined in (1.1). Using the identities, Parseval–Goldstein type theorems relating these integral transforms are proved. As an application of the identities and theorems, some illustrative examples are given.

The main theorem

In the following lemma, we show that the third iterate of the L2-transform is essentially the E2,1-transform.

Lemma 1

The identitiesL23{f(x);y}=12P{L2{f(x);u};y}=12L2{P{f(x);u};y},andL23{f(x);y}=14E2,1{f(x);y},hold true, provided that the integrals involved converge absolutely.

Proof

The proof of identity (2.1) easily follows from (1.5). In order to prove (2.2), we use (2.1)L23{f(x);y}=12L2{P{f(x);u};y}.Using the definitions of the L2-transform (1.3) and the Widder potential transform (1.4) we haveL23{f(x);y}=1

Useful corollaries

Interesting consequences of the main theorem will be given in this section. Useful Parseval-type identities for the L2-transform and the Widder potential transform are contained in

Corollary 6

If the integrals involved converge absolutely, then we have0yνL2{f(x);y}dy=12Γν+120f(x)xνdx,where R(ν)>-1,0Pg(u);yyνdy=π2secνπ20g(u)uνdu,where -1<R(ν)<1, and0P{f(x);y}yνdy=Γ12-ν20yνL2{f(x);y}dy,where R(ν)<1.

Proof

We setg(u)=uν-1in relation (2.31) of Theorem 5, then use (3.4), (2.8), (2.10) in the

Illustrative examples

An illustration of the Parseval–Goldstein type relation (3.1) of Corollary 6 is given in the following example.

Example 13

We have0yμ-1exp(a2y2)Erfc(ay)dy=a-μ2Γμ2secπμ2,where 0<R(μ)<1.

Proof

We setf(x)=1x2+a2in relation (3.2) of Corollary 6, then using relation (1.6) and the formula [1, Entry 18, p. 135], we haveL2{f(x);y}=12L(x+a2)-1/2;y2=π2yexp(a2y2)Erfc(ay).Substituting (4.2), (4.3) into (3.2) of Corollary 6, we find0yμ-1exp(a2y2)Erfc(ay)dy=1πΓμ2+120x-μx2+a2dx.The integral on the right-hand side has the
