Hankel Transform - Domain of Definition

Domain of Definition

The Hankel transform of a function f(r) is valid at every point at which f(r) is continuous provided that the function is defined in (0, ∞), is piecewise continuous and of bounded variation in every finite subinterval in (0, ∞), and the integral


\int_0^\infty |f(r)|\,r^{1/2}\,\operatorname{d}r

is finite. However, like the Fourier Transform, the domain can be extended by a density argument to include some functions whose above integral is not finite, for example ; this extension will not be discussed in this article.
