1. Introduction The mean operator is defined for a f on R2, even with respect to the first variable by 1 2π R0( f )(r,x) = f (r sinθ,x + r cosθ)dθ, (1.1) 2π 0 which means that R0( f )(r,x)isthemeanvalueof f on the circle centered at (0,x)and t radius r. The dual of the mean operator R0 is defined by t 1 2 2 R0( f )(r,x) = f r +(x − y) , y dy. (1.2) π R

t ThemeanoperatorR0 and its dual R0 play an important role and have many applica- tions, for example, in image processing of the so-called synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data [11, 12] or in the linearized inverse scattering problem in acoustics [6]. Our purpose in this work is to define and study transforms which general- t ize the operators R0 and R0. More precisely, we consider the following singular partial differential operators:

2 We associate to Δ1 and Δ2 the Riemann-Liouville transform Rα,definedonᏯ∗(R )(the space of continuous functions on R2, even with respect to the first variable) by ⎧ ⎪ α 1 ⎪ − 2 ⎪ f rs 1 t ,x + rt ⎪ π −1 ⎨⎪ − − R = × − 2 α 1/2 − 2 α 1 α( f )(r,x) ⎪ 1 t 1 s dtds,ifα>0, (1.4) ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ 1 ⎪ 1 dt ⎩ f r 1 − t2,x + rt √ ,ifα = 0. π −1 1 − t2

t 2 The dual operator Rα is defined on the space ᏿∗(R ) (the space of infinitely differen- tiable functions on R2, rapidly decreasing together with all their , even with respect to the first variable) by ⎧ √ ⎪ +∞ u2−r2 ⎪ 2α 2 2 2 α−1 ⎨⎪ √ f (u,x + v) u − v − r ududv,ifα>0, π − 2− 2 tR ( )( , ) = r u r α f r x ⎪ ⎪ 1 ⎩ f r2 +(x − y)2, y dy,ifα = 0. π R (1.5)

For more general fractional and fractional differential equations, we can see the works of Debnath [3, 4] and Debnath with Bhatta [5]. t We establish for the operators Rα and Rα the same results given by Helgason, Ludwig, and Solmon for the classical Radon transform on R2 [10, 14, 17]andwefindtheresults given in [15] for the spherical mean operator. Especially (i) we give some harmonic analysis results related to the Fourier transform associ- ated with the Riemann-Liouville transform Rα; t (ii) we define and characterize some spaces of the functions on which Rα and Rα are isomorphisms; t (iii) we give the following inversion formulas for Rα and Rα: = R 1tR = 1tR R f αKα α( f ), f Kα α α( f ), (1.6) = tR 2R = 2 R tR f α Kα α( f ), f Kα α α( f ),

1 2 ff where Kα and Kα are integro-di erential operators; t (iv) we establish a Plancherel theorem for Rα; t (v) we show that Rα and Rα are transmutation operators. This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we show that for (μ,λ) ∈ C2,thedif- ferential system

Δ1u(r,x) =−iλu(r,x),

Δ ( , ) =− 2 ( , ), 2u r x μ u r x (1.7) ∂u u(0,0) = 1, (0,x) = 0, ∀x ∈ R, ∂r C. Baccar et al. 3 admits a unique solution ϕμ,λ given by 2 2 ϕμ,λ(r,x) = jα r μ + λ exp(−iλx), (1.8) where jα is the modified Bessel function defined by J (s) j (s) = 2αΓ(α +1) α , (1.9) α sα and Jα is the Bessel function of first kind and index α. Next, we prove a Mehler integral representation of ϕμ,λ and give some properties of Rα. In Section 3, we define the Fourier transform Fα connected with Rα, and we establish some harmonic analysis results (inversion formula, Plancherel theorem, Paley-Wiener t theorem) which lead to new properties of the operator Rα and its dual Rα. 2 t In Section 4, we characterize some subspaces of ᏿∗(R ) on which Rα and Rα are 1 isomorphisms, and we prove the inversion formulas cited below where the operators Kα 2 and Kα are given in terms of Fourier transforms. Next, we introduce fractional powers of the Bessel operator, ∂2 2α +1 ∂  = + , (1.10) α ∂r2 r ∂r and the Laplacian operator, ∂2 ∂2 Δ = + , (1.11) ∂r2 ∂x2 1 2 that we use to simplify Kα and Kα . t Finally, we prove the following Plancherel theorem for Rα: +∞ +∞ 2 2α+1 = 3 tR 2 f (r,x) r dr dx Kα α( f ) (r,x) dr dx, (1.12) R 0 R 0 3 ff where Kα is an integro-di erential operator. t In Section 5, we show that Rα and Rα satisfy the following relations of permutation: ∂2 tR Δ f = tR ( f ), tR Δ f = Δ tR ( f ), α 2 ∂r2 α α 1 1 α   (1.13) ∂2 f Δ R ( f ) = R , Δ R ( f ) = R Δ f . 2 α α ∂r2 1 α α 1

2. Riemann-Liouville transform and its dual associated with the operators Δ1 and Δ2 t In this section, we define the Riemann-Liouville transform Rα and its dual Rα,andwe give some properties of these operators. It is well known [21]thatforeveryλ ∈ C,the system

2 αv(r) =−λ v(r); (2.1) v(0) = 1; v(0) = 0, 4 Inversion formulas for Riemann-Liouville transform where α is the Bessel operator, admits a unique solution, that is, the modified Bessel function r → jα(rλ). Thus, for all (μ,λ) ∈ C × C, the system

Δ1u(r,x) =−iλu(r,x),

Δ ( , ) =− 2 ( , ), 2u r x μ u r x (2.2) ∂u u(0,0) = 1, (0,x) = 0, ∀x ∈ R, ∂r admits the unique solution given by 2 2 ϕμ,λ(r,x) = jα r μ + λ exp(−iλx). (2.3)

The modified Bessel function jα has the Mehler integral representation, (we refer to [13, 21]) Γ 1 (α +1) 2 α−1/2 jα(s) = √ 1 − t exp(−ist)dt. (2.4) πΓ(α +1/2) −1

In particular,

∀ ∈ N ∀ ∈ R (k)  k , s , jα (s) 1. (2.5)

On the other hand,

sup jα(rλ) = 1iff λ ∈ R. (2.6) r∈R

This involves that

sup ϕμ,λ(r,x) = 1iff (μ,λ) ∈ Γ, (2.7) (r,x)∈R2 where Γ is the set defined by   Γ = R2 ∪ (iμ,λ); (μ,λ) ∈ R2, |μ|  |λ| . (2.8)

Proposition 2.1. The eigenfunction ϕμ,λ given by (2.3) has the following Mehler integral representation: ⎧ ⎪ 1 ⎪ α 2 α−1/2 2 α−1 ⎪ cos μrs 1 − t2 exp − iλ(x + rt) 1 − t 1 − s dtds, ⎪ − ⎨⎪ π 1 ( , ) = if α>0, ϕμ,λ r x ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ 1 ⎪ 1 dt ⎩ cos rμ 1 − t2 exp − iλ(x + rt) √ , if α = 0. π −1 1 − t2 (2.9) C. Baccar et al. 5

Proof. From the following expansion of the function jα:

∞   J (s) + (−1)k s 2k j (s) = 2αΓ(α +1) α = Γ(α +1) , (2.10) α α !Γ( + +1) 2 s k=0 k α k we deduce that

∞   + (−1)k rμ 2k j r μ2 + λ2 = Γ(α +1) j (rλ), (2.11) α !Γ( + +1) 2 α+k k=0 k k α and from the equality (2.4), we obtain

Γ 1 − 2 2 (α +1) 2 2 α 1/2 jα r μ + λ = √ jα−1/2 rμ 1 − t exp(−irλt) 1 − t dt. π Γ(α +1/2) −1 (2.12)

Then, the results follow by using again the relation (2.4)forα>0, and from the fact that

j−1/2(s) = coss,forα = 0. (2.13) 

Definition 2.2. The Riemann-Liouville transform Rα associated with the operators Δ1 2 2 and Δ2 is the mapping defined on Ꮿ∗(R ) by the following. For all (r,x) ∈ R ,

⎧ ⎪ α 1 ⎪ − 2 ⎪ f rs 1 t ,x + rt ⎪ π −1 ⎨⎪ − − R = × − 2 α 1/2 − 2 α 1 α( f )(r,x) ⎪ 1 t 1 s dtds,ifα>0, (2.14) ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ 1 ⎪ 1 dt ⎩ f r 1 − t2,x + rt √ ,ifα = 0. π −1 1 − t2

Remark 2.3. (i) From Proposition 2.1 and Definition 2.2,wehave

ϕμ,λ(r,x) = Rα cos(μ.)exp(−iλ.) (r,x). (2.15)

(ii) We can easily see, as in [2], that the transform Rα is continuous and injective from 2 2 Ᏹ∗(R ) (the space of infinitely differentiable functions on R , even with respect to the first variable) into itself. 6 Inversion formulas for Riemann-Liouville transform

2 2 Lemma 2.4. For f ∈ Ꮿ∗(R ), f bounded, and g ∈ ᏿∗(R ), +∞ +∞ 2α+1 t Rα( f )(r,x)g(r,x)r dr dx = f (r,x) Rα(g)(r,x)dr dx, (2.16) R 0 R 0

t where Rα is the dual transform defined by ⎧ √ ⎪ +∞ u2−r2 ⎪ 2α 2 2 2 α−1 ⎨⎪ √ g(u,x + v) u − v − r ududv, if α>0, π − 2− 2 tR ( )( , ) = r u r α g r x ⎪ ⎪ 1 ⎩ g r2 +(x − y)2, y dy, if α = 0. π R (2.17)

To obtain this lemma, we use Fubini’s theorem and an adequate change of variables. Remark 2.5. By a simple change of variables, we have 1 2π R0( f )(r,x) = f (r sinθ,x + r cosθ)dθ. (2.18) 2π 0

3. Fourier transform associated with Riemann-Liouville operator

In this section, we define the Fourier transform associated with the operator Rα,andwe give some results of harmonic analysis that we use in the next sections. We denote by (i) dν(r,x) the measure defined on [0,+∞[×R by

1 dν(r,x) = √ r2α+1dr ⊗ dx, (3.1) 2π2αΓ(α +1)

(ii) L1(dν) the space of measurable functions f on [0,+∞[×R satisfying +∞

f 1,ν = f (r,x) dν(r,x) < +∞. (3.2) R 0

Definition 3.1. (i) The translation operator associated with Riemann-Liouville transform is defined on L1(dν) by the following. For all (r,x),(s, y) ∈ [0,+∞[×R, Γ π (α +1) 2 2 2α ᐀(r,x) f (s, y) = √ f r + s +2rscosθ,x + y sin θdθ. (3.3) πΓ(α +1/2) 0

(ii) The convolution product associated with the Riemann-Liouville transform of f , g ∈ L1(dν)isdefinedbythefollowing.Forall(r,x) ∈ [0,+∞[×R, +∞ ˇ f #g(r,x) = ᐀(r,−x) f (s, y)g(s, y)dν(s, y), (3.4) R 0 where fˇ(s, y) = f (s,−y). C. Baccar et al. 7

We have the following properties. (i) Since Γ π (α +1) 2 2 2α ∀r,s  0, jα(rλ)jα(sλ) = √ jα λ r + s +2rscosθ sin θdθ, (3.5) πΓ(α +1/2) 0

(we refer to [21]) we deduce that the eigenfunction ϕμ,λ defined by the relation (2.3) satisfies the product formula

᐀(r,x)ϕμ,λ(s, y) = ϕμ,λ(r,x)ϕμ,λ(s, y). (3.6)

1 1 (ii) If f ∈ L (dν), then for all (r,x) ∈ [0,+∞[×R, ᐀(r,x) f belongs to L (dν), and we have   ᐀   (r,x) f 1,ν f 1,ν. (3.7)

(iii) For f ,g ∈ L1(dν), f #g belongs to L1(dν), and the convolution product is commu- tative and associative. (iv) For f ,g ∈ L1(dν),

f #g 1,ν  f 1,ν g 1,ν. (3.8)

Definition 3.2. The Fourier transform associated with the Riemann-Liouville operator is defined by +∞ ∀(μ,λ) ∈ Γ, Fα( f )(μ,λ) = f (r,x)ϕμ,λ(r,x)dν(r,x), (3.9) R 0 where Γ isthesetdefinedbytherelation(2.8). We have the following properties. (i) Let f be in L1(dν). For all (r,x) ∈ [0,+∞[×R,wehave

∀(μ,λ) ∈ Γ, Fα ᐀(r,−x) f (μ,λ) = ϕμ,λ(r,x)Fα( f )(μ,λ). (3.10)

(ii) For f ,g ∈ L1(dν), we have

∀(μ,λ) ∈ Γ, Fα( f #g)(μ,λ) = Fα( f )(μ,λ)Fα(g)(μ,λ). (3.11)

(iii) For f ∈ L1(dν), we have

 ∀(μ,λ) ∈ Γ, Fα( f )(μ,λ) = B ◦ Fα( f )(μ,λ), (3.12) where +∞ 2  ∀(μ,λ) ∈ R , Fα( f )(μ,λ) = f (r,x)jα(rμ)exp(−iλx)dν(r,x), R 0 (3.13) ∀(μ,λ) ∈ Γ, Bf(μ,λ) = f μ2 + λ2,λ . 8 Inversion formulas for Riemann-Liouville transform

3.1. Inversion formula and Plancherel theorem for Fα. We denote by (see [15]) 2 2 (i) ᏿∗(R ) the space of infinitely differentiable functions on R rapidly decreasing together with all their derivatives, even with respect to the first variable; (ii) ᏿∗(Γ) the space of functions f : Γ → C infinitely differentiable, even with respect to the first variable and rapidly decreasing together with all their derivatives, that is, for all k1,k2,k3 ∈ N,     k2 k3 k1 ∂ ∂ sup 1+|μ|2 + |λ|2 f (μ,λ) < +∞, (3.14) (μ,λ)∈Γ ∂μ ∂λ where ⎧ ⎪ ∂ ⎨⎪ f (r,λ) ,ifμ = r ∈ R, ∂f = ∂r (μ,λ) ⎪ (3.15) ∂μ ⎪ 1 ∂ ⎩ f (it,λ) ,ifμ = it, |t|  |λ|. i ∂t Each of these spaces is equipped with its usual topology: (i) L2(dν) the space of measurable functions on [0,+∞[×R such that   +∞ 1/2 2 f 2,ν = f (r,x) dν(r,x) < +∞; (3.16) R 0

(ii) dγ(μ,λ) the measure defined on Γ by f (μ,λ)dγ(μ,λ) Γ   1 +∞ |λ| = √ f (μ,λ) μ2 + λ2 αμdμdλ+ f (iμ,λ) λ2 − μ2 αμdμdλ ; 2π2αΓ(α +1) R 0 R 0 (3.17)

(iii) Lp(dγ), p = 1, p = 2, the space of measurable functions on Γ satisfying   1/p p f p,γ = f (μ,λ) dγ(μ,λ) < +∞. (3.18) Γ

Remark 3.3. It is clear that a function f belongs to L1(dν) if, and only if, the function Bf belongs to L1(dγ), and we have +∞ Bf(μ,λ)dγ(μ,λ) = f (r,x)dν(r,x). (3.19) Γ R 0

1 Proposition 3.4 (inversion formula for Fα). Let f ∈ L (dν) such that Fα( f ) belongs to L1(dγ), then for almost every (r,x) ∈ [0,+∞[×R,

f (r,x) = Fα( f )(μ,λ)ϕ (r,x)dγ(μ,λ). (3.20) Γ μ,λ C. Baccar et al. 9

1  1 Proof. From [9, 19], one can see that if f ∈ L (dν)issuchthatFα( f ) ∈ L (dν), then for almost every (r,x) ∈ [0,+∞[×R, +∞  f (r,x) = Fα( f )(μ,λ)jα(rμ)exp(iλx)dν(μ,λ). (3.21) R 0

Then, the result follows from the relation (3.12)andRemark 3.3. 

2 Theorem 3.5. (i) The Fourier transform Fα is an isomorphism from ᏿∗(R ) onto ᏿∗(Γ). 2 (ii) (Plancherel formula) for f ∈ ᏿∗(R ),   F  = α( f ) 2,γ f 2,ν. (3.22)

(iii) (Plancherel theorem) the transform Fα can be extended to an isometric isomorphism from L2(dν) onto L2(dγ).  Proof. This theorem follows from the relation (3.12), Remark 3.3, and the fact that Fα is 2 2 an isomorphism from ᏿∗(R ) onto itself, satisfying that for all f ∈ ᏿∗(R ),   F  = α( f ) 2,ν f 2,ν. (3.23) 

2 Lemma 3.6. For f ∈ ᏿∗(R ),

2 t ∀(μ,λ) ∈ R , Fα( f )(μ,λ) = Λα ◦ Rα( f )(μ,λ), (3.24)

t where Rα is the dual transform of the Riemann-Liouville operator, and Λα is a constant multiple of the classical Fourier transform on R2 defined by +∞ Λα( f )(μ,λ) = f (r,x)cos(rμ)exp(−iλx)dm(r,x), (3.25) R 0 where dm(r,x) is the measure defined on [0,+∞[×R by

1 dm(r,x) = √ dr ⊗ dx. (3.26) 2π2αΓ(α +1)

This lemma follows from the relation (2.15)andLemma 2.4. 2 Using the relation (3.12) and the fact that the mapping B is continuous from ᏿∗(R ) 2 into itself, we deduce that the Fourier transform Fα is continuous from ᏿∗(R ) into itself. 2 On the other hand, Λα is an isomorphism from ᏿∗(R ) onto itself. Then, Lemma 3.6 t 2 implies that the dual transform Rα maps continuously ᏿∗(R ) into itself. t 2 Proposition 3.7. (i) Rα is not injective when applied to ᏿∗(R ). t 2 2 (ii) Rα(᏿∗(R )) = ᏿∗(R ). 10 Inversion formulas for Riemann-Liouville transform

2 2 Proof. (i) Let g ∈ ᏿∗(R ) such that suppg ⊂{(r,x) ∈ R , |r|  |x|}, g = 0.  2 2 Since Fα is an isomorphism from ᏿∗(R ) onto itself, there exists f ∈ ᏿∗(R )such  t that Fα( f ) = g.Fromtherelation(3.12)andLemma 3.6,wededucethat Rα( f ) = 0. (ii) We obtain the result by the same way as in [1]. 

3.2. Paley-Wiener theorem. We denote by 2 2 (i) Ᏸ∗(R ) the space of infinitely differentiable functions on R , even with respect to the first variable, and with compact support; 2 2 (ii) H∗(C ) the space of entire functions f : C → C, even with respect to the first variable rapidly decreasing of exponential type, that is, there exists a positive constant M, such that for all k ∈ N,

sup 1+|μ|2 + |λ|2 k f (μ,λ) exp − M |Imμ| + |Imλ| < +∞; (3.27) (μ,λ)∈C2

2 2 2 (iii) H∗,0(C )thesubspaceofH∗(C ), consisting of functions f : C → C,suchthat for all k ∈ N,

sup 1 − μ2 +2λ2 k f (iμ,λ) < +∞; (3.28) (μ,λ)∈R2 |μ||λ|

 2 2 (iv) Ᏹ∗(R ) the space of distributions on R , even with respect to the first variable, and with compact support; 2 2 (v) Ᏼ∗(C ) the space of entire functions f : C → C, even with respect to the first variable, slowly increasing of exponential type, that is, there exist a positive constant M and an integer k,suchthat

− sup 1+|μ|2 + |λ|2 k f (μ,λ) exp − M |Imμ| + |Imλ| < +∞; (3.29) (μ,λ)∈C2

2 2 2 (vi) Ᏼ∗,0(C )thesubspaceofᏴ∗(C ), consisting of functions f : C → C,suchthat thereexistsanintegerk, satisfying

− sup 1 − μ2 +2λ2 k f (iμ,λ) < +∞. (3.30) (μ,λ)∈R2 |μ||λ|

Each of these spaces is equipped with its usual topology. Definition 3.8. The Fourier transform associated with the Riemann-Liouville operator is  2 defined on Ᏹ∗(R )by

  2 ∀(μ,λ) ∈ C , Fα(T)(μ,λ) = T,ϕμ,λ . (3.31) C. Baccar et al. 11

 2 Proposition 3.9. For every T ∈ Ᏹ∗(R ),

2  ∀(μ,λ) ∈ C , Fα(T)(μ,λ) = B ◦ Fα(T)(μ,λ), (3.32) where   2  ∀(μ,λ) ∈ C , Fα(T)(μ,λ) = T, jα(μ.)exp(−iλ.) , (3.33) and B is the transform defined by the relation (3.12).  Using [7, Lemma 2] (see also [15]) and the fact that Fα is an isomorphism from 2  2 2 2 Ᏸ∗(R )(resp.,Ᏹ∗(R )) onto H∗(C )(resp.,Ᏼ∗(C )), we deduce the following theorem.

Theorem 3.10 (of Paley-Wiener). The Fourier transform Fα is an isomorphism 2 2 (i) from Ᏸ∗(R ) onto H∗,0(C );  2 2 (ii) from Ᏹ∗(R ) onto Ᏼ∗,0(C ). 2 From Lemma 3.6, Theorem 3.10, and the fact that Λα is an isomorphism from Ᏸ∗(R ) 2 onto H∗(C ), we have the following corollary.

t 2 Corollary 3.11. (i) Rα maps injectively Ᏸ∗(R ) into itself. t 2 2 (ii) Rα(Ᏸ∗(R )) = Ᏸ∗(R ).

t t 4. Inversion formulas for Rα and Rα and Plancherel theorem for Rα 2 t In this section, we will define some subspaces of ᏿∗(R ) on which Rα and Rα are isomorphisms, and we give their inverse transforms in terms of integro-differential oper- t ators. Next, we establish Plancherel theorem for Rα. We denote by 2 (i) ᏺ the subspace of ᏿∗(R ), consisting of functions f satisfying   ∂ k ∀k ∈ N, ∀x ∈ R, f (0,x) = 0, (4.1) ∂r2 where

∂ 1 ∂ = ; (4.2) ∂r2 r ∂r

2 2 (ii) ᏿∗,0(R )thesubspaceof᏿∗(R ), consisting of functions f ,suchthat +∞ ∀k ∈ N, ∀x ∈ R, f (r,x)r2kdr = 0; (4.3) 0

2 Lemma 4.1. (i) The mapping Λα is an isomorphism from ᏿∗,0(R ) onto ᏺ. (ii) The subspace ᏺ can be written as

   2k 2 ∂ ᏺ = f ∈ ᏿∗(R ); ∀k ∈ N,∀x ∈ R; f (0,x) = 0 . (4.5) ∂r

2 Proof. Let f ∈ ᏿∗,0(R ). (i) For ν > −1, we have

  k ∂ Γ(ν +1) k jν(rμ) = − r2 jν (rμ), (4.6) ∂μ2 2kΓ(ν + k +1) +k thus, from the expression of Λα,giveninLemma 3.6, and the fact that j−1/2(s) = coss,we obtain

  √ k +∞ ∂ Λ = π − k 2k − 2 α( f ) (0,λ) ( 1) f (r,x)r exp( iλx)dm(r,x), ∂μ 2kΓ(k +1/2) R 0 (4.7) which gives the result. (ii) The proof of (ii) is immediate.  Theorem 4.2. (i) For all real numbers γ, the mappings (i) f → (r2 + x2)γ f (ii) f →|r|γ f are isomorphisms from ᏺ onto itself. (ii) For f ∈ ᏺ,thefunctiong defined by

Let n ∈ N such that γ − k1 − k2 + n>0. By Taylor formula and the fact that f ∈ ᏺ,we have

The relations (4.9)and(4.11) imply that the function

(r,x) −→ r2 + x2 γ f (r,x) (4.12) belongs to ᏺ and that the mapping

f −→ r2 + x2 γ f (4.13) is continuous from ᏺ onto itself. The inverse mapping is given by

− f −→ r2 + x2 γ f. (4.14)

By the same way, we show that the mapping

f −→ | r|γ f (4.15) is an isomorphism from ᏺ onto itself. (ii) Let f ∈ ᏺ,and ⎧ √ ⎨ f r2 − x2,x if |r|  |x|, g(r,x) = (4.16) ⎩0if|r|  |x|, we have ⎛ ⎞         k2 k1 k1 k2 p q+j ∂ ∂ = ⎝ ∂ ∂ 2 − 2 ⎠ (g)(r,x) Pj(r) Qp,q(x) 2 ( f ) r x ,x , ∂x ∂r j=0 p,q=0 ∂x ∂r (4.17) where Pj and Qp,q are real polynomials. This equality, together with the fact that f be- 2 longs to ᏺ, implies that g belongs to ᏿∗(R ).  14 Inversion formulas for Riemann-Liouville transform

Theorem 4.3. The Fourier transform Fα associated with Riemann-Liouville transform is 0 2 an isomorphism from ᏿∗(R ) onto ᏺ.

0 2 Proof. Let f ∈ ᏿∗(R ). From the relation (3.12), we get     ∂ k ∂ k F ( f )(0,λ) = B ◦ F ( f ) (0,λ) ∂μ2 α ∂μ2 α   ∂ k = B F ( f ) (0,λ) (4.18) ∂μ2 α   ∂ k = F ( f )(λ,λ) = 0, ∂μ2 α

 2 because suppFα( f ) ⊂{ (μ,λ) ∈ R , |μ|  |λ|}, this shows that Fα maps injectively 0 2 ᏿∗(R )intoᏺ. On the other hand, let h ∈ ᏺ and ⎧ √ ⎨ h r2 − x2,x if |r|  |x|, g(r,x) = (4.19) ⎩0if|r|  |x|.

2 2 From Theorem 4.2(ii), g belongs to ᏿∗(R ), so there exists f ∈ ᏿∗(R ) satisfying  0 2 Fα( f ) = g. Consequently, f ∈ ᏿∗(R )andFα( f ) = h.  From Lemmas 3.6, 4.1,andTheorem 4.3, we deduce the following result.

2 0 2 Theorem 4.6. (i) For f ∈ ᏿∗,0(R ) and g ∈ ᏿∗(R ), there exists the inversion formula for Rα: = R 1 tR = 1 tR R g αKα α(g), f Kα α α( f ). (4.22)

This relation, together with Corollary 4.4 and Theorem 4.5(i), implies that Rα is an iso- ᏿ R2 ᏿0 R2 1tR morphism from ∗,0( )onto ∗( ), and that Kα α is its inverse; in particular for 2 f ∈ ᏿∗,0(R ), we have

1tR R = Kα α α( f ) f. (4.25)

2 (ii) Let f ∈ ᏿∗,0(R ). From (i), we have

1tR R = Kα α α( f ) f. (4.26)

0 2 Let us put g = Rα( f ), then g ∈ ᏿∗(R ), and we have

R−1 = 1tR α (g) Kα α(g), (4.27) and from Lemma 3.6, it follows that

1 2 4.2. The expressions of the operators Kα and Kα . In the previous subsection, we have 1 2 Λ F defined the operators Kα and Kα in terms of Fourier transforms α and α.Here,we will give nice expressions of these operators using fractional powers of partial differential operators. For this, we need the following inevitable notations. (i) Ᏹ∗(R) is the space of even infinitely differentiable functions on R.

We have the following properties (we refer to [19]).  (i) Fa is an isomorphism from ᏿∗(R)(resp.,᏿∗(R)) onto itself, and we have

∗ Definition 4.8. For z ∈ C\{−(k + a), k ∈ N }, the fractional power of Bessel operator a is defined on ᏿∗(R)by − z = ωa ∗ a f (r) T(22z+a+1Γ(z+a+1)/Γ(−z))|s|−2z−2a−2 a f (r). (4.44)

From the relations (4.40)and(4.43), we deduce that for f ∈ ᏿∗(R)andz ∈ C\{−(k + a), k ∈ N∗},wehave ωa ωa z = ( ) 2z (4.45) Fa T(−a) f Fa f T|r| . On the other hand, from [8, 10], we deduce that the mappings

For z ∈ C\{−k, k ∈ N∗}, the fractional power of the Laplacian operator 2 Δ is defined on ᏿∗(R )by −Δ z = m ( ) f (r,x) T(1/π)(22z+1Γ(z+1)/Γ(−z))(s2+y2)−z−1∗ f (r,x), (4.49) where (i) ∗ is the usual convolution product defined by   ˇ  2 2 T ∗ f (r,x) = T,σ(r,x) f , T ∈ ᏿∗ R , f ∈ ᏿∗ R ; (4.50)

(ii)   1 2 σ f (s, y) = f (r + s, y − x)+ f (r − s, y − x) , f ∈ ᏿∗ R . (4.51) (r,x) 2

2  2 It is well known that for f ∈ ᏿∗(R )andT ∈ ᏿∗(R ), the function T ∗ f belongs to 2 Ᏹ∗(R ) and is slowly increasing, and we have

Λ m = Λ Λ α TT∗ f α( f ) α(T), (4.52)

2 thus from the relations (4.47)and(4.52), we deduce that for f ∈ ᏿∗(R )andz ∈ C\ {−k, k ∈ N∗}, Λ √m = Λ m α T 2π2αΓ(α+1)(−Δ)z f α( f )T(r2+x2)z . (4.53)

2 2 Proof. Let f ∈ ᏿∗,0(R ). Using Fubini’s theorem, we get for every ϕ ∈ ᏿∗(R )thefol- lowing: Λ m α T(−∂2/∂r2)1/2 f ,ϕ +∞ 1 ω−1/2 = T − 1/2 · ,F− ϕ(·, y) × exp(−ixy)dxdy 2 +2 2 ( −1/2) ( f ( ,x)) 1/2 2 α Γ (α +1) R 0 (4.56) C. Baccar et al. 19 and by the relation (4.45), we obtain Λ m α T(−∂2/∂r2)1/2 f ,ϕ +∞ 1 ω−1/2 = − · · × − 2 +2 2 F 1/2 f ( ,x) T|r| ,ϕ( , y) exp( ixy)dxdy, 2 α Γ (α +1) R 0 (4.57) which involves that +∞ Λ m = Λ α T(−∂2/∂r2)1/2 f ,ϕ r α( f )(r, y)ϕ(r, y)dm(r, y), (4.58) R 0 this shows that m m Λ 2 2 1/2 = (4.59) α T(−∂ /∂r ) f T|r|Λα( f ).

Now, from Lemma 4.1, we deduce that the function

(μ,λ) −→ | μ|Λα( f )(μ,λ) (4.60) belongs to the subspace ᏺ. Then, from the relation (4.59), it follows that the function 2 2 1/2 2 (−∂ /∂r ) f belongs to the subspace ᏿∗,0(R ), and we have    ∂2 1/2 ∀(μ,λ) ∈ R2, Λ − f (μ,λ) =|μ|Λ (μ,λ). (4.61) α ∂r2 α

2 By the same way, and using the relation (4.53), we deduce that for every f ∈ ᏿∗,0(R ), the α 2 2 function (−Δ) f belongs to the subspace ᏿∗,0(R ), and we have that for all (μ,λ) ∈ R , √ α α 2 2 α Λα 2π2 Γ(α +1)(−Δ) f (μ,λ) = μ + λ Λα( f )(μ,λ). (4.62)

Hence, the theorem follows from the relations (4.61)and(4.62).  Definition 4.11. Let a,b ∈ R, b  a  −1/2. (i) The Sonine transform is the mapping defined on Ᏹ∗(R) by the following.

2 Proof. The theorem follows from Propositions 4.13, 4.14, and the density of ᏿∗,0(R ) ᏿0 R2 2 2 ν  (resp., ∗( )) in L (dm)(resp.,L0(d )).

5. Transmutation operators Proposition 5.1. The Riemann-Liouville transform and its dual satisfy the following per- mutation properties. 2 (i) For all f ∈ ᏿∗(R ),

∂2 tR Δ f = tR ( f ), tR Δ f = Δ tR ( f ). (5.1) α 2 ∂r2 α α 1 1 α

2 (ii) For all f ∈ Ᏹ∗(R ),

  ∂2 f Δ R ( f ) = R , Δ R ( f ) = R Δ f . (5.2) 2 α α ∂r2 1 α α 1

2 2 t Proof. (i) We know that the operators Δ1, Δ2, ∂ /∂r ,and Rα are continuous mappings 2 from ᏿∗(R ) into itself. Then, by applying the usual Fourier transform Λα,wehave

  2 Λ tR Δ =− 2Λ ◦ tR = Λ ∂ tR α α 2 f (μ,λ) μ α α( f )(μ,λ) α 2 α( f ) (μ,λ), ∂r (5.3)

t t t Λα Δ1 Rα f (μ,λ) = iλΛα Rα( f ) (μ,λ) = Λα Rα Δ1 f (μ,λ).

2 Consequently, (i) follows from the fact that Λα is an isomorphism from ᏿∗(R )onto itself. 2 (ii) We obtain the result from (i), Lemma 2.4, and the fact that for f ∈ Ᏹ∗(R ), and 2 g ∈ Ᏸ∗(R ),

+∞ +∞ Δ2 f (r,x)g(r,x)dν(r,x) = f (r,x)Δ2g(r,x)dν(r,x). (5.4) R 0 R 0 

Theorem 5.2. (i) The Riemann-Liouville transform Rα is a transmutation operator of

∂2 ,Δ into Δ , Δ (5.5) ∂r2 1 2 1 from

2 0 2 ᏿∗,0 R onto ᏿∗ R . (5.6) C. Baccar et al. 25

t (ii) The dual transform Rα is a transmutation operator of ∂2 Δ , Δ into , Δ (5.7) 2 1 ∂r2 1 from

0 2 2 ᏿∗(R ) onto ᏿∗,0 R . (5.8)

This theorem follows from Proposition 5.1 and the fact that Rα is an isomorphism 2 0 2 t 0 2 2 from ᏿∗,0(R )onto᏿∗(R )and Rα is an isomorphism from ᏿∗(R )onto᏿∗,0(R ).
