A large number of important integral transforms, such as Laplace, Fourier sine and cosine, Hankel, Stieltjes, and Riemann- Liouville fractional integral transforms, can be put in the form

where f(t) and the kernel, h(t), are locally integrable functions on (0,∞), and x is a positive parameter. Recently, two important techniques have been developed to give asymptotic expansions of I(x) as x → + ∞ or x → 0+. One method relies heavily on the theory of Mellin transforms [8] and the other is based on the use of distributions [24]. Here, of course, the integral I(x) is assumed to exist in some ordinary sense.
If the above integral does not exist in any ordinary sense, then it may be regarded as an integral transform of a distribution (generalized function). There are mainly two approaches to extend the classical integral transforms to distributions.
