We consider the multi-dimensional H- integral transform ([
1], formula (43)):

The function in the kernel of (

H-functions
:
where
In the representation (
3)
L is a specially chosen infinite contour, and the empty products, if any, are taken to be one.
The H-function (
3) is the most general of the known special functions and includes as special cases elementary functions, special functions of hypergeometric and bessel type, as well as the Meyer G-function. One may find its properties, for example, in the books by Mathai and Saxena ([
7], Ch. 2), Srivastava, Gupta and Goyal ([
8], ch. 1), Prudnikov, Brychkov and Marichev ([
9], Section 8.3), Kiryakova [
10] and Kilbas and Saigo ([
11], Ch.1 – Ch.4).
Our paper is devoted to the study of
- transform (
1) on Lebesgue-type weighted spaces
of functions
on

In this paper we apply the results from [
2] to obtain mapping properties such as boundedness, the rang and representations for the
- transform (
1).
Research results for transformation (
1) generalize those obtained earlier for the corresponding one-dimensional transformation ( see [
11], Ch. 3):

The
- transform (
5) generalizing many integral transforms: transforms with the Meijer G-function, Laplace and Hankel transforms, transforms with Gauss hypergeometric function, transforms with other hypergeometric and Bessel functions in the kernels. One may find a survey of results and bibliography in this field for one-dimensional case in the monograph ([
11],Section 6–8). Note that a very important class of transforms under consideration is a class of Buschman–Erdélyi operators, they have many important properties and applications, cf. [
1,
12,
13,
14,
15,
16]. And topic of this paper is also in a very tight connection with transmutation theory, cf. [
17,
18,
19,
20,
21].
3. -Theory for the
Multi-Dimensional -Transform
To formulate the results for the transform
(
1) we need the following constants ([
1], (57)–(60)), analogical for one-dimensional case defined via the parameters of the
H - function (
3) ([
11], (3.4.1), (3.4.2), (1.1.7), (1.1.8), (1.1.10)):
let
and
where
and so on
let
,
and
and so on
let
and
The exceptional set
of a function
:
is called a set of vectors
such that
where the parameters
are defined by formulas (
24), and functions
of the view (
4) have zeros on lines
, respectively (see [
1], (61)).
Applying multidimensional Mellin transformation (
16) to (
1), formally we obtain:
and that either of the conditions
holds. Then we have the following results:
(a) There exists a one-to-one transform so that the relation (28) holds for and
If and does not belong to an exceptional set , then the operator maps onto .
(b) If and , then for H there holds the relation (23):
(c) Let , . If , then is given by formula:
When , is given by:
(d) The transform is independent of in the sense that, for and satisfying the assumptions (29), and either (30) or (31), and for the respective transforms on and on given in (28), then for .
Proof. Let
By virtue of (
4), (
24), and the conditions (
29) the functions
...,
are analytic in the strips
, respectively. In accordance with (
12) and conditions (
30) or (
31),
as
. Therefore
, and hence we obtain from Theorem 2
that there exists a transform
such that
for
. This means that the equality (
28) holds when condition
is met. Since the functions
...,
are analytic in the strips
, respectively, and have isolated zeros, then
almost everywhere. So it follows from the Theorem 2
that
is a one-to-one transform. If
,
and
is not in the exceptional set
of
, then
, and from Theorem 2
we have that
transforms the space
onto
. This completed the proof of the statement
of the theorem.
According to the statement of the Theorem 2
, if
and
, then the relation (
32) is valid. Thus the assertion
is true.
Let us prove the validity of the representation (
33). Suppose that
and
. To show the relation (
33), it is sufficient to calculate the kernel
in the transform (
20) for such
. From (
21) we get the equality
or, for
Then from (
18) and (
35) we obtain the expression for the kernel
where the limits are taken in the topology of
.
According to (
4) and (
27) we have
Denote by
the constants
in (
24) respectively; by
the constants
and by
the constants
in (
25),respectively; by
the constants
in (
26) respectively for
in (
37). Then
;
;
;
;
. Thus, it follows that
;
from , and either of the conditions:
; or
;
holds. Applying Theorem 1 for
, then the equality
holds almost everywhere. Then, (
36) and (
38) lead to the fact that the kernel
is given by
and (
33) is proved.
The representation (
34) is proved similarly to (
33). We use the equality
instead of (
37).Thus, the statement
is proved.
Let us prove
. If
and
or
, then both transforms
and
are given in (
33) or (
34), respectively, which shows that they are independent of
.
Corollary 1.Suppose that and that one of the following conditions holds:
(a)
(b) and
(c) and
(d) and
Then the -transform (1) can be defined on with
.
Proof. When , by Theorem 3, if either or ; are satisfied, then the - transform can be defined on , which is also valid when . Hence the corollary is clear in cases (a) and (d). When and the assumption yields that there exists a vector such that , and , which are required. For the case the situation is similar, that is, there exists of the forms and Thus the proof is completed.
