A Parseval equation and a generalized finite Hankel transformation

Jorge J. Betancor, Manuel T. Flores

Abstract. In this paper, we study the finite Hankel transformation on spaces of genera- lized functions by developing a new procedure. We consider two Hankel type integral transformationshµandhµconnected by the Parseval equation

X

n=0

(hµf)(n)(hµϕ)(n) =

Z 1

0

f(x)ϕ(x)dx.

A space Sµ of functions and a space Lµ of complex sequences are introduced. hµ is an isomorphism fromSµonto Lµ whenµ≥ −12. We propose to define the generalized finite Hankel transformhµf offSµ by

h(hµf),((hµϕ)(n))n=0i=hf, ϕi, for ϕSµ.

Keywords: finite Hankel transformation, distribution, Parseval equation Classification: 46F12

1. Introduction and preliminaries.

Finite Hankel transforms of classical functions were first introduced by I.N. Sned- don [14] and later studied by other authors [3], [4], [7], [15]. More recently, A.H. Ze- manian [18], J.N. Pandey and R.S. Pathak [11] and R.S. Pathak [12] extended these transforms to certain spaces of distributions as a special case of the general theory on orthonormal series expansions of generalized functions. L.S. Dube [5], R.S. Pathak and O.P. Singh [13] and J.M. M´endez and J.R. Negr´ın [10] investigated finite Hankel transformations in other spaces of distributions through a procedure quite different from that one which was developed in [18] and [12]. All previous authors employ a method usually known as the kernel method.

Specifically, L.S. Dube [5] investigated finite Hankel transformation of the first kind given by

(hµf)(n) = Z 1

0

xJµnx)f(x)dx, n= 0,1,2. . .

forµ≥ −12, whereJµdenotes the Bessel function of the first kind and orderµand λn,n= 0,1,2. . ., represent the positive roots of Jµ(x) = 0 arranged in ascending order of magnitude [17, p. 596].

For µ≥ −12 and α≥ 12, he introduced the space Uµ,α of finitely differentiable functions on (0,1) such that

ρµ,αk (ϕ) = sup

0<x<1|xα−1Bµkϕ(x)|<∞, for every k∈N, whereBµ =x−µDx2µ+1Dx−µ−1.

Uµ,α is equipped with the topology generated by the family of seminorms {ρµ,αk }k=0. Thus Uµ,α is a Fr´echet space. The dual space of Uµ,α is denoted by Uµ,α and it is endowed with the weak topology.

Forf ∈ Uµ,α , the generalized finite Hankel transform off is defined by (1) F(n) =hf(x), xJµnx)i, for n= 0,1,2. . . .

Our objective in this paper is to define the finite Hankel transformationhµ on new spaces of generalized functions by developing a new procedure. The method that we develop in this work can be seen as a finite analogue to the one investigated by J.M. M´endez [8] for the infinite Hankel transformation.

We introduce the finite Hankel type transformationhµ by (hµf)(n) = 2

Jµ+12n) Z 1

Jµnx)f(x)dx, n= 0,1,2. . . whenµ≥ −12.

The transformationshµandhµare closely connected. They satisfy the Parseval equation

whenµ≥ −12 andf andϕare suitable functions.

We define a spaceSµof functions and a spaceLµof sequences and we prove that hµ is an isomorphism fromSµontoLµprovided thatµ≥ −12.

The generalized finite Hankel transformationhµfoff ∈Sµ, the dual space ofSµ, is defined through

(3) h(hµf),((hµϕ)(n))n=0i=hf, ϕi, for ϕ∈Sµ.

Notice that (3) appears as a generalization of the Parseval equation (2).

We show that the conventional finite Hankel transformationhµand the general- ized finite Hankel transformation given by (1) are special cases of our generalized transformation.

Finally we present some applications of the new generalized finite Hankel trans- formation.

Throughout this paper,µdenotes a real number greater or equal to−12.

Let us take note here of some properties of Bessel functions that we shall use quite a few times in this work (see [17]).

The behaviours ofJµnear the origin and the infinity are the following ones:

Jµ(x) =O(xµ), as x→0+, (4)

Jµ(x)≃ 2

, as x→ ∞,

where (µ, k) is understood as in [17, p. 198].

The main differentiation formulas forJµare d

dx(xµJµ(xy)) =yxµJµ−1(xy), (6)

d

dx(x−µJµ(xy)) =−yx−µJµ+1(xy), (7)

forx, y >0. By combining (6) and (7), it can be easily inferred (8) BµJµ(x) =−Jµ(x), for x >0, whereBµ=x−µ−1Dx2µ+1Dx−µ.

2. The spaces Sµ and Lµ and the finite Hankel transformation.

In this section, we introduce a spaceSµof functions and a spaceLµof complex sequences and we investigate the finite Hankel transformationhµon them.

We define Sµ as the space of all complex valued functions ϕ(x) on (0,1] such thatϕ(x) is infinitely differentiable and satisfies for everyk∈N

(i) Bµkϕ(1) = 0,

(ii) xµ+1Bµkϕ(x)→0 andx2µ+1dxd(x−µ−1Bµkϕ(x))→0, asx→0+, and

(iii) x−1/2Bµkϕ(x)∈L(0,1).

Sµis endowed with the topology generated by the family of seminorms{k kk}k=0, where

kϕkk= Z 1

0

x−1/2|Bµkϕ(x)|dx, for ϕ∈Sµ and k∈N.

Notice thatk k0is a norm. Sµis a Hausdorff topological linear space that verifies the first countability axiom. Moreover, the operatorBµ defines a continuous mapping from Sµ into itself. Sµ is the dual space ofSµ and it is equipped with the usual weak topology.

The following result will be useful in the sequel.

(4)

Proposition 1. Iff(x)is a function defined on(0,1)such thatx1/2f(x)is bounded on(0,1), thenf(x)generates a member ofSµ through the definition

hf(x), ϕ(x)i= Z 1

0

f(x)ϕ(x)dx, ϕ∈Sµ. Proof: The result easily follows from the inequality

|hf(x), ϕ(x)i| ≤ kϕk0 sup

0<x<1|x1/2f(x)|, ϕ∈Sµ.

The spacesUµ,α defined by L.S. Dube [5] are related toSµas follows:

Proposition 2. Letµ≥ −12 and α≥ 12. ThenSµ⊂ Uµ,α and the topology ofSµ is stronger than that induced on it byUµ,α.

Proof: Letϕ∈Sµ. In virtue of the conditions (i) and (ii), we can write xα−1Bµkϕ(x) =xα+µ

Z x 1

t−2µ−1 Z t

0

uµBµk+1ϕ(u)du dt for everyx∈(0,1) andk∈N.

Therefore

|xα−1Bµkϕ(x)| ≤xα+µ Z 1

0

u−1/2|Bµk+1ϕ(u)|du≤ Z 1

0

u−1/2|Bµk+1ϕ(u)|du for everyx∈(0,1) andk∈N.

Hence, for everyϕ∈Sµandk∈N, sup

0<x<1|xα−1Bµkϕ(x)| ≤ kϕkk+1,

andSµis contained in Uµ,α and the inclusion is continuous.

From Proposition 2, we can deduce that if f ∈ Uµ,α , then the restriction of f toSµ is a member ofSµ.

We now define Lµ as the space of all complex sequences (an)n=0 such that limn→∞anλ2kn = 0, for every k ∈ N, where λn, n = 0,1,2, . . ., represent the positive roots of the equationJµ(x) = 0 arranged in ascending order of magnitude.

The topology ofLµ is that generated by the family of norms{γµk}k=0, where γµk((an)n=0) =

X

n=0

|an2kn , for (an)n=0 ∈Lµ and k∈N.

Notice that γµk((an)n=0) < ∞ for every (an)n=0 ∈ Lµ. Thus Lµ is a Hausdorff topological linear space that satisfies the first countability axiom. Lµdenotes the dual space ofLµ and it is endowed with the weak topology.

In the following proposition, we introduce continuous operations inLµandLµ.

(5)

Proposition 3. Let (bn)n=0 be a complex sequence such that |bn| ≤ M λn for everyn∈Nand for someℓ∈NandM >0. Then the linear operator

(an)n=0−→(anbn)n=0 is a continuous mapping fromLµinto itself.

Moreover, the operator inLµ,B→(bn)n=0B, where

h(bn)n=0B,(an)n=0i=hB,(anbn)n=0i, for (an)n=0∈Lµ, is a continuous mapping fromLµinto itself.

Proof: It is sufficient to see that γµk((anbn)n=0)≤M

X

n=0

|an2k+ℓn ≤M1γµk+ℓ((an)n=0),

for (an)n=0∈Lµ and k∈N,

M1 being a suitable positive constant.

By proceeding as in the proof of the last proposition, we also can establish following

Proposition 4. If (bn)n=0 is a complex sequence satisfying the same conditions as in Proposition 3, then(bn)n=0 generates a member ofLµby

h(bn)n=0,(an)n=0i=

X

n=0

anbn, for (an)n=0∈Lµ.

The fundamental theorem in our theory of a generalized finite Hankel transforma- tion asserts that the conventional finite Hankel transformationhµis an isomorphism fromSµ ontoLµ. The proof of this fact is the next object:

Theorem 1. Forµ≥ −12, the finite Hankel transformationhµis an isomorphism fromSµ ontoLµ.

Proof: Letϕ∈Sµ. As it is known,hµϕ= (an)n=0, where an= 2

(6)

Moreover, according to (4)Jµ+1nx)ϕ(x)]10 = 0 sinceϕ(1) = 0 and limx→O+xµ+1ϕ(x) = 0.

Hence

(9) λ2nan=− 2λn

Now, by invoking (7), one has

Bµϕ(x)Jµnx)dx.

Also in this case by (4), the limit terms are equal to zero because Jµn) = 0, ϕ∈C((0,1]), limx→0+x2µ+1dxd(x−µ−1ϕ(x)) = 0.

Therefore (10) λn

By combining (9) and (10), we obtain anλ2n=− 2

Jµ+12n) Z 1

An inductive procedure allows us to establish that (11) λ2kn an= (−1)k 2

Jµ+12n) Z 1

0

Bµkϕ(x)Jµnx)dx, for every n, k∈N.

From (11), according to Riemann–Lebesgue Lemma ([17, p. 457]), one follows to Jµ+12n2kn an→0, as n→ ∞.

Moreover by (5), there exists a positive constantM such that λ2kn |an| ≤M Jµ+12n2k+1n |an|, and thenλ2kn an→0, asn→ ∞, for everyk∈N.

(7)

Also, for certainMi>0,i= 1,2,

Hence, sinceP

n=0λ−2n <∞, we get

γµk((an)n=0)≤M3kϕkk+2 for everyk∈Nandϕ∈Sµand for someM3>0.

This inequality proves that the linear mappinghµis continuous fromSµintoLµ. Let now (an)n=0∈Lµand define τµ((an)n=0)(x) =ϕ(x) =P

n=0anxJµnx), forx∈(0,1].

By (4) and (5), we have

X

n=0

|anxJµnx)| ≤M x1/2

X

n=0

|an|, x >0

for a suitable M > 0. Thereforeϕ(x) ∈C(0,∞). In a similar way we can prove thatϕ∈C(0,∞).

Moreover, by invoking (8), we obtain Bµkϕ(x) =

X

n=0

(−1)kanλ2kn xJµnx), for x >0 and k∈N. ThenBµkϕ(1) = 0, for eachk∈N.

We also can infer

|xµ+1Bµkϕ(x)| ≤M1xµ+(3/2)

X

n=0

|an2kn , for x >0 and k∈N, and from (4), (5) and (6),

|x2µ+1 d

dx(x−µ−1Bµkϕ(x))| ≤M2x2µ+2

X

n=0

|an2k+2+µn , for x >0 and k∈N. HereM1 andM2 denote suitable positive constants. Hence

x→0lim+xµ+1Bµkϕ(x) = lim

x→0+x2µ+1 d

dx(x−µ−1Bµkϕ(x)) = 0, for every k∈N.

(8)

On the other hand, since the series definingBµkϕ(x) is uniformly convergent in x∈(0,1), there exists a positive constantM3 such that

Z 1

0

x−1/2|Bµkϕ(x)|dx≤M3

X

n=0

|an2kn , for every k∈N. Thereforeτµis a continuous mapping from LµintoSµ.

Finally, we infer from [17, p. 591] that (τµ·hµ)ϕ = ϕ, for ϕ ∈ Sµ, and (hµ· τµ)(an)n=0= (an)n=0, for (an)n=0 ∈Lµ. Thus the proof is finished.

3. The generalized finite Hankel transformation.

We define the generalized finite Hankel transformationhµonSµ as follows:

(12) h(hµf),((hµϕ)(n))n=0i=hf(x), ϕ(x)i, for every ϕ∈Sµ. Notice that (12) appears as a generalization of the Parseval equation (2).

From Theorem 1.10–2 in [19] and Theorem 1, we immediately obtain

Theorem 2. For µ≥ −12, the generalized finite Hankel transformationhµ is an isomorphism fromSµ ontoLµ.

In the following proposition, we establish that the conventional finite Hankel transformationhµis a special case of the generalized finite Hankel transformation defined in (12).

Theorem 3. Letf(x)be a function defined on(0,1)such thatx1/2f(x)is bounded on(0,1). Then((hµf)(n))n=0 agrees with(hµf)as members ofLµ.

Proof: The conventional finite Hankel transformation of f is defined by (hµf)(n) =

Z 1

0

xJµnx)f(x)dx, for n∈N.

Then, sincex1/2f(x) is bounded on (0,1), and by (4) and (5) we can write

|(hµf)(n)| ≤M λ−1/2n Z 1

0

|p

λnxJµnx)|dx≤M1λ−1/2n , for n∈N, whereM andM1 are certain positive constants.

Therefore, in virtue of Proposition 4, ((hµf)(n))n=0 generates a member ofLµ by

h((hµf)(n))n=0,(an)n=0i=

X

n=0

(hµf)(n)an=

n=0

xJµnx)f(x)dx=

= Z 1

0

f(x)

X

n=0

anxJµnx)dx, for every (an)n=0∈Lµ.

(9)

The last equality is justified since the series P

n=0anx1/2Jµnx) is uniformly convergent on (0,1) and x1/2f(x) is bounded on (0,1).

We can also write

h((hµf)(n))n=0,((hµϕ)(n))n=0i=

= Z 1

0

f(x)

X

n=0

(hµϕ)(n)xJµnx)dx= Z 1

0

f(x)ϕ(x)dx for everyϕ∈Sµ.

Hence, according to Proposition 1, we conclude

h((hµf)(n))n=0,((hµϕ)(n))n=0i=hf(x), ϕ(x)i, for ϕ∈Sµ,

and ((hµf)(n))n=0= (hµf) as members ofLµ. As it was showed in Section 2, iff ∈ Uµ,α , then the restriction off toSµis inSµ. Hence, iff ∈ Uµ,α , we can define two generalized finite Hankel transformations off. We now prove that the generalized finite Hankel transform off given by (1) is equal (in the sense of equality inLµ) to the generalized finite Hankel transform off as given by (12).

Theorem 4. Letµ≥ −12,α≥ 12 andf ∈ Uµ,α . Then

h(F(n))n=0,(an)n=0i=h(hµf),(an)n=0i, for every (an)n=0∈Lµ, whereF(n) =hf(x), xJµnx)i, for everyn∈N.

Proof: According to Theorem 1.8–1 in [19], sincef ∈ Uµ,α , there existr∈Nand M >0 such that

|hf(x), xJµnx)i| ≤M max

0≤k≤r sup

0<x<1|xα−1Bµk(xJµnx))|, for every n∈N. Hence, from (4), (5) and (8), we infer that

(13) |F(n)| ≤M max

0≤k≤r sup

0<x<1|xα−1λ2kn xJµnx)| ≤M1λ2rn

for a certain M1 > 0. By invoking Proposition 4, (13) proves that (F(n))n=0 generates a member ofLµthrough

h(F(n))n=0,(an)n=0i=

X

n=0

F(n)an, for (an)n=0∈Lµ. To show our assertion we must establish that

(14)

F(n)an=hf(x),

(10)

Let (an)n=0∈Lµ. As it is easy to see, (15)

(16) lim

X

n=m+1

anhf(x), xJµnx)i= 0.

Moreover, for everyk∈Nandx∈(0,1), we get

|xα−1Bµk[

Hence sup

(17) lim

m→∞hf(x),

X

n=m+1

anxJµnx)i= 0.

By combining now (15), (16) and (17), we obtain (14).

From (14), we can conclude

h(F(n))n=0,((hµϕ)(n))n=0i=hf(x),

X

n=0

(hµϕ)(n)xJµnx)i=hf(x), ϕ(x)i=

=h(hµf),((hµϕ)(n))n=0i, for ϕ∈Sµ,

and the proof is complete.

(11)

4. Applications.

We firstly prove an operation-transform formula for the generalized finite Hankel transformation that will be useful in applications.

Proposition 5. LetP be a polynomial andf be inSµ. Then

(hµP(Bµ)f) =P(−λ2n)(hµf).

Proof: Iff ∈Sµ, we have

h(hµP(Bµ)f),((hµϕ)(n))n=0i=hP(Bµ)f, ϕi=hf, P(Bµ)ϕi=

=h(hµf),((hµP(Bµ)ϕ)(n))n=0i=h(hµf),(P(−λ2n)(hµϕ)(n))n=0i=

=hP(−λ2n)(hµf),((hµϕ)(n))n=0i, for every ϕ∈Sµ. We consider the functional equation

(18) P(Bµ)f =g,

where g is a given member of Sµ, P is a polynomial such that P(−λ2n) 6= 0, for everyn∈N, and f is unknown generalized function but required to be inSµ.

By applying the generalized finite Hankel transform to (18) and according to Proposition 5, we can prove that (18) is equivalent to

P(−λ2n)(hµf) = (hµg).

Hence it is not difficult to see that the functionalf defined by hf, ϕi=hg,

X

n=0

1

P(−λ2n)(hµϕ)(n)xJµnx)i for ϕ∈Sµ,

is inSµand it is the solution for (18).

JORMA K. We present a method, based on series expansions and symmetric polynomials, by which a mean of two variables can be extended to several variables. We apply it mainly to

In this note we introduce a new method to proving and discovering some identities involving binomial coefficents and factorialsk.

We show that a discrete fixed point theorem of Eilenberg is equivalent to the restriction of the contraction principle to the class of non-Archimedean bounded metric spaces.. We

We consider an n-dimensional version of the functional equations of Acz´el and Chung in the spaces of generalized functions such as the Schwartz distributions and Gelfand

Certain formal series of a most general nature are specialized so as to deduce expansions in terms of a class of generalized hypergeometric functions.. These series generalize
