On a certain class of integral equations associated with Hankel transforms (Q2385538)

The paper deals with a new class of Fredholm integral equations of the first kind arising from applying the Hankel integral transform to mixed boundary value problems. The analysis of the equation is based on operators transforming Bessel functions of the first kind into kernels of Weber-Orr integral transforms. The author proves new results for Hankel and Weber-Orr integral transforms and on integral operators that transform their kernels ones into others. These operators together with the Paley-Wiener theorem for the Weber-Orr transform enable to regularize the equations and, in special cases, to derive explicit solutions. These regularizations are efficient in many situations where the Cooke-Lebedev method does not work efficiently.
