Preface


 

 

The Hankel transform of order ν of a function f(r) is given by
\[ F_{\nu} (k) = \int_0^{\infty} f(r)\,J_{\nu} (kr)\,r\,{\text d}r , \]
where Jν is the Bessel function of the first kind of order ν with ν ≥ −1/2. The inverse Hankel transform of Fν(k) is defined as
\[ f(r) = \int_0^{\infty} F_{\nu} (k)\,J_{\nu} (kr)\,k\,{\text d}k . \]
For Hankel transformations, we have
\[ \int_0^{\infty} r\left( \frac{{\text d}^2 f}{{\text d} r^2} + \frac{1}{r} \, \frac{{\text d} f}{{\text d} r} - \frac{\nu^2}{r^2} \, f \right) J_{\nu} (rk)\,{\text d}r = - k^2 F_{\nu} (k) = - k^2 \int_0^{\infty} f(r)\,J_{\nu} (kr)\,r\,{\text d}r . \]
