Abstract: The classical Lebedev index transform (1967), involving squares and products of the Legendre functions is generalized on the associated Legendre functions of an arbitrary order. Mapping properties are investigated in the Lebesgue spaces. Inversion formulas are proved. As an interesting application, a solution to the boundary value problem for a third order partial differential equation is obtained.


By considering Lebedev-like kernels, Lebedev's transformations have been extended that involves products of the associated Legendre functions of the first and second kind of an arbitrary complex order \(\mu\). Their mapping properties are studied, inversion theorems are proved, and simultaneously applied them in solving the boundary value problems for a higher order partial differential equation. In fact, relations on operators of the index transform, have been invoked. Mellin transform technique is employed in order to investigate the mapping properties of the index transform. Further, the catalyst of the proof of the main result of the paper, is the Lebedev expansion theorem that is related to the representation of the antiderivative in terms of the repeated integral with the product of the modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind.
