Fractional Integral Transforms: Theory and Applications presents over twenty-five integral transforms, many of which have never before been collected in one single volume. Some transforms are classic, such as Laplace, Fourier, etc, and some are relatively new, such as the Fractional Fourier, Gyrator, Linear Canonical, Special Affine Fourier Transforms, as well as, continuous Wavelet, Ridgelet, and Shearlet transforms.The book provides an overview of the theory of fractional integral transforms with examples of such transforms, before delving deeper into the study of important fractional transforms, including the fractional Fourier transform. Applications of fractional integral transforms in signal processing and optics are highlighted. The book’s format has been designed to make it easy for readers to extract the essential information they need to learn the about the fundamental properties of each transform. Supporting proofs and explanations are given throughout.Features Brings together integral transforms never before collected into a single volumeA useful resource on fractional integral transforms for researchers and graduate students in mathematical analysis, applied mathematics, physics and engineeringWritten in an accessible style with detailed proofs and emphasis on providing the reader with an easy access to the essential properties of important fractional integral transformsAhmed I.
