Extract

1. The integral transform. One result of recent studies of boundary-value problems of the wave and diffusion equations involving wedge- or conically-shaped boundaries has been the interest shown in integrals in which the variable of integration appears as the order of Bessel or Legendre functions. An integral of this type occurs as the inversion formula for the generalized Mehler transform which is defined by

where ψ(μ, k) = Γ(½ − k + iμ)Γ(½ − k − iμ) and is the associated Legendre function of the first kind. Oberhettinger and Higgins (4) have given a table of transform pairs corresponding to the above transform.
