Mellin Transform - Relationship To Other Transforms

Relationship To Other Transforms

The two-sided Laplace transform may be defined in terms of the Mellin transform by

and conversely we can get the Mellin transform from the two-sided Laplace transform by

The Mellin transform may be thought of as integrating using a kernel xs with respect to the multiplicative Haar measure, which is invariant under dilation, so that ; the two-sided Laplace transform integrates with respect to the additive Haar measure, which is translation invariant, so that .

We also may define the Fourier transform in terms of the Mellin transform and vice-versa; if we define the two-sided Laplace transform as above, then

$\left\{\mathcal{F} f\right\}(-s) = \left\{\mathcal{B} f\right\}(-is) = \left\{\mathcal{M} f(-\ln x)\right\}(-is).$

We may also reverse the process and obtain

$\left\{\mathcal{M} f\right\}(s) = \left\{\mathcal{B} f(e^{-x})\right\}(s) = \left\{\mathcal{F} f(e^{-x})\right\}(is).$

The Mellin transform also connects the Newton series or binomial transform together with the Poisson generating function, by means of the Poisson–Mellin–Newton cycle.

Famous quotes containing the words relationship and/or transforms:

“If the relationship of father to son could really be reduced to biology, the whole earth would blaze with the glory of fathers and sons.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)

“Now, since our condition accommodates things to itself, and transforms them according to itself, we no longer know things in their reality; for nothing comes to us that is not altered and falsified by our Senses. When the compass, the square, and the rule are untrue, all the calculations drawn from them, all the buildings erected by their measure, are of necessity also defective and out of plumb. The uncertainty of our senses renders uncertain everything that they produce.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
